Yes. And so, what you would want to see is the ability to move the feet closer and closer to midline. He's never going to be this guy. He's never going to be like the length and parallel kind of a squat guy, most likely based on your description. But the idea is that you got to bring him closer and closer to midline. So he's applying force into the ground. Like I said, you got to get the IR closer to where his center of gravity would be. Right now, his IR is being applied way too far away. In fact, he doesn't have enough in there to turn the hip inward.

So we're clear. If I have him on the ground, for example, and I'll do a hip extension, legs extended first or heels elevated goblets and things like early propulsive starting and then move him into the IR in order to move him into the late or should I start training him in late?

Okay. So less foot contact. There's no roll into it, right? There's no roll into it. Yeah, but you're stuck in the middle the whole time.

All right.

Okay, so if I jump on your back. What is your response? You have two options. Okay. You collapse under my load, right?

People are looking at this. They're looking at this through the lens of relative motion. This is not relative motion.

When are you going from here to there on a Swiss ball from a programming standpoint?

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.

If you need to capture the early foot representation, are you talking about just the heel?

Okay.

Most likely I wouldn't consider them later. But because the center of gravity will end, right? You have two options: you allow yourself to be compressed downwards, you get pulled down, or you fall over your foot. The last strategy that you will have is some way to just try to stay inside your base of support on the right side. Again, this is like how far forward are you? How hard do you have to screw yourself back into the ground so you don't tip over to the right?

Awesome.

Yeah.

Yes, you can close it back down and bring them towards you. Absolutely.

So I mean, what I potentially get a greater benefit if I'm just trying to create like the AP expansion of getting them to like lie on that same side hip on their side, just like literally have them be in that position.

This is a two-dimensional representation of a four-dimensional problem.

So the way I was starting to think of it was with the counterneutation, you're expanding the anterior outlet. You're reducing, I guess, anterior compression. And so that would re-ER the femurs.

Yeah.

What are you going to prevent you from doing? What is going up an incline to prevent you from doing?

Okay. So if you've got the magnification of IR on the left-hand side, what would promote that? I mean, that's a big turn. It's a big turn, right? Now, are you able to reduce that to something that would fall towards the average?

OK, so if I'm stepping forward and I just land on the foot and I don't have a lot of weight on it yet, would I be in more of an ERD representation or an IRD representation at the foot? So where would the talus be? Would it be pushing down and in into the ground? Or would it still be sort of up and away from the ground in an ERD representation in that early start? Okay, awesome. Which way would the tibia turn distally relative to that talus? Would it go with the talus?

However, you still have the compression on that side that's going to create the limitation. So what you're talking about is creating expansion from upper DR to lower cervical spine and then moving up the cervical spine under that circumstance. So you still have to get expansion on that side. Otherwise, you will not be able to turn in that direction. Good morning. Happy Tuesday. I have neuro coffee in hand and it is perfect. All right. Hey, very busy Tuesday coming up. We're gonna dig straight into this Q&A. This is with Max. This is a great little video. Kind of warms my heart. Max is a guy that's been working with my model for quite some time, getting very good at it, understands principles. What you don't see in this video, we were discussing a right foot contact cross connect and this led us into some other programming issues, moving into some split squad activities that would be coherent with the initial intention of the right foot contact cross connect. And I think that this is great because I think a lot of people create their own interference in their programming as they're doing some things that appear to be random or their sequencing is not effective to produce the desired outcome. And again, they're just getting in their own way and then wondering why they don't see the progress that they're intending. And I think Max is really on point. He's really starting to understand this and he's actually evolving some really good strategy in his programming. So I think that, again, if this video is representative of anything, it is that we need to be more coherent with our programming to produce the desired intention. So thank you, Max, for this video. Everybody have an outstanding Tuesday and I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay. So you want to do that shoe that's going to emphasize an early representation.

So what I did is I put you in an ER space and I started to superimpose IR on top of it, didn't I?

Hang on. I need to get that right side first. I won't disagree with you. We wanted to get her foot representation first. So she might have to actually put the right foot out in front of her first, but then I want to move that foot back.

More volume, you mean more load? Gotcha. What you're seeing is a progressive increase in the amount of IR strategy.

Yeah.

That's all the discussion when the pelvis is in one piece and then you just get all the stuff moving above it. And going wide, I say, because they are already in IR, they start in IR. So why would that just be reversed? When they go in oblique angle orientation, their right side would go towards IR, but the left side would be like ER, ER, ER, ER.

OK. So what they used to do is grab the tibia and fibula, like mid-shaft, compress the soft tissue, find the midline there, and you would compress the calcaneus and draw the midline there. And that would be your determinant of the degrees of varus and valgus, a very frontal plane representation if you will. Not terribly useful, um, in the real world, but like I said, that's how we used to do it back before you were born. And, uh, um, but, but like I said, you can grab the calcaneus and, and get it just for its orientation. And that might help you like differentiate a little bit more.

Yes.
