Cal Dietz has done some interesting stuff. Triphasic training is thankfully getting a lot more popular these days. At least the mindset of seperating the parts of the deceleration, amortization and acceleration phase is an incredibly valuable tool for everything from sports performance to injury prevention.

I don't know if I'd necessarly agree with you that dumbbells and kettlebells are always easier on the joint. They give you more to work with in regards to angles, but the innate stability of a barbell can sometimes be an advantage in my experience. Obviously it depends on the goal. Can you elaborate on your thoughts on bilateral deficiency and peaking one arm/leg at a time?

Btw, Joel Seedman specialises in eccentric isometrics (EI's) and Rapid Eccentric Isometrics (REI's) and has written some great articles on them, which you'd probably find useful if you don't already know him. My guess it you do though.

Yeah, I post a lot of Dr. Seedman's stuff on my facebook groups. I find that if I bench press, it hurts my shoulders, but they feel a lot better when I use dumbbell chest presses.
