Good morning. Happy Tuesday. I have neuro coffee in hand and it is perfect. A very busy Tuesday coming up. We're going to dig straight into today's Q&A. This is with Taya. So this is actually a follow-up question to yesterday's question on the high oblique pulldown activity. And so what I did is as we're talking with Taya in regards to clarifying the position, I superimposed some still frames and some video over top of the questions. So you can actually see the execution of the high oblique pulldown. So you can see the setup just as important as the execution of the exercise, but you'll see the explanation as it's being executed. So again, I think it'll be helpful for a lot of people to actually see this. We then went into a comparison between trying to do a cable activity, a similar cable activity with the low oblique sit as far as the difference between the two, basically what we're looking at is a difference in the helical angles. And so exercise selection would be more associated with the idiosyncratic structure of that individual as to which would be more optimal. So thank you, Taya, for this question. Reminder, Coffee Coaches Conference call at 6 a.m. on Thursday. Everybody, have an outstanding Tuesday and I will see you tomorrow.

When we were talking about the high obliquity, yes. And the right leg is extended in front of us. I don't know if I understood correctly, but I imagine that when you capture the position, you would want to drive the left knee a little bit forward to delay the right side a little bit to get the expansion or no.

Yes, ma'am.

I don't know if I understood correctly, but I imagine that when you captured the position, you would want to drive the left knee a little bit forward to delay the right side a little bit to get the expansion or no.

Okay, so let's look at this in two parts. Look at the setup, okay? You're propped up on an arm extended, right? Like that, okay? You're on your right hip, right leg is pointing right at the cable pulley, okay? Left knee would be up, okay? So as you reach towards the cable, okay? The left hip is going to be in a little bit more ER. As you pull, you're going to be superimposing internal rotation on top of that left side. So that left side is going to start moving towards an early representation, which means that the right leg starts to push away into the late representation. You see it? So it's doing this as you're doing the activity. You see it?

Okay.

Is that answer your question?

I'm just wondering if you would do the lower blix it, it would change because you would get more expansion on the right side, because it would be more of an early presentation.

See that one more time. Sorry.

If I would do the same pull down, I would also get some expansion on the right backside because of the position of the humerus at the very beginning of the pull.

So if you're reaching forward with your left arm, you would never do that at the same angle. I just want to make sure because it becomes less of a transition point between a pull down and a row by jargon. You're going to be closer to the flatter, the helical axis is different. This would be like the high oblique sit pull down, and this would be like the low oblique.

Yeah, I get it.

I just want to make sure because it becomes less of a, like somewhere in the world, like there's a transition point between a pull down and a row just by jargon, right? You're going to be closer to the flatter, the helical axis is different. Like this would be like the high oblique sit pull down, and this would be like the low oblique, right? You understand? Yeah. But I think you got the right, I think you understand.

Thank you.

Good morning. Happy Monday. I have neural coffee in hand and it is perfect. All right, a very busy Monday coming up. First, a little housekeeping: invitations to the intensive 20 went out last night. So if you did apply, please check your email for the invitation. If you did not receive an invitation in your email this morning, you didn't make the cut this time, but please keep applying. Many people that have actually made it to the intensive have applied on multiple occasions. It is exceptionally difficult to pick eight people from all the applications because some of them are really, really good. It comes down to a little head-to-head thingy at the end on who's going to come. So I appreciate everybody that has the interest. Please sign up on the mentorship list at the end of any blog. We're going to try to expand a little bit of the communication through that list as well. So be prepared for that. But again, intensive 20 applications or invitations went out last night. Digging into these Q&A, this was Matt. The foundation of this question has to do with a high oblique set, but the thing that I want you to recognize here is that it's a little bit deeper than that. This lends itself to understanding that for every activity that you perform, you need to have an intention. You have to have a reason for doing it. We don't want to be random with our application. You need to understand that there is a superimposition of ERs and IRs at all times, and the setup and execution of the exercise are going to matter as one or the other will be demonstrated to a greater degree depending on your intention. So again, we don't want to be random with our applications and programming. So this is a great question for those of you that are still trying to grasp how important the setup of an activity is, as well as the execution. Thank you, everybody. Have an outstanding Monday, and I'll see you tomorrow.

No, you're right. So my question relates to something I observed in one of the intensive group calls while reviewing them again. I saw you talking to Max Ford about a high oblique sit. The thing that threw me a little bit was when we were talking about lengthening and how the straight leg—which was, for those that didn't see the call, obviously in a right oblique sit with the right leg extended—was referred to as a light OIR. Is that simply because, as he's pulling the cable, he's pushing away from there?

So there you go. You have to look at the finished position under the circumstance. If I'm doing a right high oblique sit, right leg extended. As soon as you start to pull, you have to produce internal rotation proximal to distal. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to pull towards you. You're kind of pushing that leg away from you. So I pull the cable this way, and then the right leg would go away from you. And then as you finish, I am producing the internal rotation on this side. Center of gravity is going to move towards the side that I'm pulling toward and that pushes the right leg away, which turns it into a lateral rotation representation.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. I get that now. The bit I don't get now looking at that is that when we go to like a supine cross connect, and we're pushing away with that right leg, is it because we've got the wall contact, which reverses the wave that gives it the early representation as opposed to the late representation.

Okay. So we can go back to Cameron's, we can go back to Cameron's question. Okay. And you got to follow, you got to follow the sequence of the transfer of energy back and forth between the wall contact and the body as you're creating the pressure differential.

Yeah. Yeah. So if I'm exhaling, producing more proximal to distal IR. Yes. And then when you're breathing in, creating more distal or proximal? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And so all we're doing is creating a bias in the shape to emphasize what direction we want it to go.

Okay.

So if I'm exhaling, you're producing more proximal to distal IR. And then when you're breathing in, can you appreciate the fact that you're creating more distal or proximal? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And so all we're doing is creating a bias in the shape to emphasize what direction we want it to go.

Can you appreciate the fact that you're producing more proximal to distal IR? Yes. And then when you're breathing in, can you appreciate the fact that you're creating more distal or proximal? Yes. Yes. Okay. And so all we're doing is creating a bias in the shape to emphasize what direction we want it to go.

Yep. Very good.

Does that help? Yes, I just wanted to clarify that. I thought I understood it and you've definitely clarified it. That's good. I wasn't completely out of my mind, which is good.

Good morning. Happy Thursday. I have neuro coffee in hand and it is perfect.

Before I start the call, I want to say it's a very important day today.

Everybody have coffee? This is a toast to the greatest lead singer of any rock band in the history of mankind. Today is Sammy Hagar's 75th birthday. He is playing a show in Cabo San Lucas today with his band. So there you go. Happy birthday, Sammy. I always have to mention that every year.

I've got a couple of questions in respect to that javelin throw that I posted on. So, the first one was just in respect to her presentation. Initially, looking at it straight off the cuff.

I go, Matt, can I bring those pictures up?
