Well, you have to because you couldn't release the tension fast enough to create relative motions anymore, right?

All right. Yeah.

By tradition, there's a division regarding the pump handle and bucket handle concept. Anything associated with the sternum would be associated with the bucket handle behavior, and anything lower than that would be the pump handle. That's the traditional view. I will respectfully disagree with tradition, as I usually do, and offer that bucket handle motion is probably taking place everywhere. It's just less pronounced because of the constraints of the upper part of the thorax. The ribs have a direct connection to the sternum, which creates a constraint that makes the bias a little bit stronger. So from a visual representation, you're going to see it more pronounced there. The way they are typically drawn reinforces this, but they don't give enough credit for diaphragmatic rib expansion, which is happening. Traditionalists say it depends, referring to the changing curvature of the thoracic spine through flexion and extension. However, the reality is that at the top of the thorax, segments would tip backward, while at the bottom, segments would tip forward. Traditional terms don't hold up. If you imagine a balloon inside the thorax blowing up, you can see this principle. We can use some traditional terminology to facilitate conversation, as the way the thorax fills up determines what type of relative motion will be demonstrated.

Yeah.

It's away from midline because your sternum is turning to the left.

Yeah.

So in regards to the other situation where they're not too expanded, too much yielding anteriorly, but they do have some sort of restriction, would that be, would that potentially be a situation where you'd have to do something more manual? And so in this circumstance, you probably end up in the opposite scenario where they'd have some sort of bend creating, I don't know if you'd even call it. to your expansion, but yeah.

It is a similar effect, but part of the waggle is the pressure. They're trying to optimize the pressurization before they take the club back. What does the club head do when you waggle? What does the club head do when you waggle, Cameron? When they waggle, they do the up, down, up, down. So what they're doing is swaying their guts back and forth and then unwading them, swaying them back and forth, unwading them, swaying them back and forth, unwading them. So they can feel where everything's going to go when they take the club away. He's got to learn strategy to produce a lot of force down into the ground so he can lift the weight off the ground. He's trying to get as much internal rotation downforce as he possibly can, which requires that you anteriorly orient the pelvis to do so. They're going to use standardized positions. If you're going to test a hamstring, you put somebody in prone, you bend their knee and you push against it, and you go strong, weak. Then they're going to make a comparative measure. So they're going to do a pre-measure, an intervention, a post-measure. In many cases, they'll get the favorable response that they want because they can't reproduce it. Even if you've got one of those little dynamometers on your hand to tell you how much pressure you use, you're still not going to be able to reproduce it. The person's not in the same position that they were before. Maybe you accidentally did something that's favorable, and you actually created the position that you needed to in the pelvis to create the higher pressure strategy so you can produce more force. It's exceptionally difficult to determine whether you have the optimal position or not. This is why when we talk about table tests and chess board measures and then representations of what that would translate to dynamically, that becomes so important for somebody like you. You're going to use step-ups, split squats, squats, and things like that to determine position. You understand, you recognize where the internal rotations and external rotations are supposed to show up during those activities. And then to what degree, you determine what is acceptable, optimal under the context.

So create space and then use the space to orient IR. And there you go.

Not that extreme, but further than not—they were not shoulder width.

So would this be a case where you could do like that bowler's lunge that you demoed on Instagram or some of that crossover step up action to get medial foot contacts on the right or left side? Potentially.

Well, okay, so this presents a question as to what we're starting with. He's a left-hander. He's probably going to have some IR compensatory strategy on the left side. Do you have an idea of what his HIP ER measures would be as far as which side has more?

Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Because I was seeing better results with especially these end-game people by fully unloading them. But I know my end goal is to tap and go them, but they have to control it first and be able to—That's what the box is for.

Yeah.

So sequence of events for him to have gotten here.

OK, so if you think about the translation of the tibia, you have to have access to full mental propulsion, otherwise you can't translate the tibia in that direction, right?

Yep. Very good.

Yeah.

So my only worry there is like, aren't you sticking them in like a middle representation too early and they're still going to use that anti-orientation strategy? Like on a box squat, I know you were just giving out a suggestion, but like another scenario, if that's the case.

Yeah.

Thanks. Good morning. Happy Wednesday. I have neuro coffee in hand and It is perfect. All right, today is Wednesday. That means that tomorrow is Thursday. That means tomorrow is 6 a.m. Coffee and Coaches Conference call. As usual, grab a cup of coffee. Please join us for some great people, great Q and A, always fun. We've been doing these for a while. We're gonna keep doing them until they're no longer fun. So once again, please join us at 6 a.m. tomorrow. Link will be up on the professional Facebook page just prior to the call. That's Eastern time, by the way, 6am Eastern time. Digging into today's Q&A, this is with Dante. Love Dante's questions. Dante loves to talk about the foundational concepts and so do I. And so this question really hit home. So he's making reference to a video that's up on the YouTube channel. If you're not on the YouTube channel, please go subscribe. so you can get all the videos. But he was using when we were talking about agility and the behavior of the pelvic outlet. And what this allowed us to do is we got to talk about concentric versus eccentric orientation connected tissue behaviors, foundational principles, like we will always move in the direction of expansion and such. And so again, really, really strong foundational question. So for those of you that are new to my model, It's a great video for you to even get started with, but it's going to lead you to some of the stuff on the YouTube channel. So please take advantage of that. Thank you so much, Dante. Truly appreciate the question. Everybody have an outstanding Wednesday. I will see you tomorrow morning, Thursday morning, 6 a.m. coffee and coaches conference call. We're going back to Dante. Is he still there? Yeah.

So in terms of concentric muscle activity, I'm asking this question because I'm thinking about someone with back pain who walks in with crazy dysautonomia and twisted posture. An easy way to access an eccentric orientation to make them feel better would be ideal. In that situation, I would be considering a manual approach closer to the apex.

Yeah.

To get the AP? Yes. Potentially, yes. Or could I hold that foot position and, like, tug on their leg and guide them into a roll?

I know, yeah. I just need to keep it simple.

Yeah.

Exactly.

Well, it's going to slide. It's going to stop you from leaning forward.

So for her, she was missing a lot of hip extension too. So I just started like in hook line right.
