Minimize Force Leakage for Optimal Stability
Every joint in the body represents an opportunity for force transfer which can either be maximized or compromised. In exercises like the Romanian Deadlift (RDL), maintaining stability from the ankles to the hands allows for ideal force transfer into the ground and back through the body, ensuring efficient movement and safety. Any instability or lapse in force transfer at the joints can lead to energy leakage, which manifests as ineffective movement and increased risk of injury. With the spine containing numerous joints, even small lapses can compound, resulting in reduced force transfer up the kinetic chain. The goal is to load the functional tissues effectively while minimizing the risk of force leakage to enhance performance and facilitate positive adaptations in musculature.
