  5. Orthopedic Cost

Orthopedic Cost

Orthopedic cost? I used this term the other day and the person I was speaking with said “I really like the idea of orthopedic cost."

What do I mean by orthopedic cost?

I mean the stress and strain imposed by an exercise on the non- target tissue.

I love the one leg deadlift / skaters squat because the orthopedic cost is less than a back squat, a front squat or a deadlift. I can target the lower body and lower the “orthopedic cost” to the lower back significantly.

Generally when I say I don't like an exercise what I often mean is I don't like it's orthopedic cost.
