Something about you.

Well, so that could be part of an issue. Some of the movement-based practices that are kinder and gentler and calmer, you know, that skew towards like some of the simpler yoga stuff or Feldenkrais activities or might be useful rather. So I think there's a lot of approaches that you can add here, but again, I think you're up against the constraint. And so you might have to use multiple avenues to try to address this, but a big one is self-regulation.

Yeah.

Okay.

Because when we do different positions, we have different outcomes.

And finger flexing can offset that, right? So they have to really hold their hand fairly straight.

And I've always said that the disruption of the circadian rhythms and the stress from travel is such a big issue. We can't.

The way it descends farther. So you have a tall skinny tube instead of a short fat tube, right? Yes. So to create the internal pressures required for control of position, it has to descend farther to create that pressure. People who are narrow are narrow forever till death do us part. There's nothing you're going to change about that because it is a structural adaptation. It would be like changing somebody from a narrow to something else means that you could manipulate their height at will, right? Yeah. Absolutely. So there are structural things that you can identify. Then you have to train them and you have to say, okay, we're making really good progress with this, but we can't make a change with that. So let's emphasize what they're really good at. If we're honest with people when we say we're here to improve your son, daughter, or whatever athletic system you have, we're here to improve you. So we're going to make you better, but we can't make the comparison between anyone else.

Yeah. I think this just goes back to trusting your numbers or trusting your measurements, right?

That's crazy.

I love it. I love that as a strategy. I think it's, and again, for bigger, stronger, more hypertrophy guys, you need some element of load to allow the expansion to occur because simply trying to push from the inside out with a breath-related expansion is insufficient to overcome the concentric strategies. So we need load to expand. We can't just count on that because again, when you've driven 25 years of concentric strategy in an attempt to get bigger, stronger, and faster, it's like the kinder, gentler expansive stuff has its limitations. So we have to start looking at this as we would any other athlete. It's like, how do I accomplish these positions that I might need to maintain the expansive capabilities, the adaptive capabilities? Because it's all compression, compression, compression. What we're talking about force production and hypertrophy.

Yep. You see it? Your honorable intentions had the right idea. Just the execution in context was incorrect. So the result that you got created interference instead of supporting the desired outcome.

As I said, set her up, have her capture the position first and then move her out of it. Then play with the rate.

Because the ribs have a direct connection to the sternum. Yeah.

Can you, so like just by bending the hip, Ilium closer to the femur, can you appreciate the fact that there's a change in muscle orientation?

Yeah.

And you don't have it. Now, in the literature and in school, uh, who, who's close to school? Anybody on here that was close enough to PT school that they remember what they taught? No. Just me. Okay. And that, what muscle do they blame for weakness in a Trendelenburg gait?

So, the way that you could treat it would be a little bit more like the reckless strategy. You ever have somebody that has the vertical scar that goes right down the linear area from sternum to pubis?

I mean, it's gonna lose.

Well, sorry, I knew what you meant. It's OK. And you're a paper and pen guy?

Okay. But the point being is, you actually brought her into some place where she could lay down some internal rotation, right? Okay. So what representation did you achieve relative to the starting conditions?

It's just going to depend on how much IR that he does have. Because the concern that you have when somebody is so far away from midline when you try to capture that, there's no way that they'll be able to hang on to those contacts. So you probably want to work in, again, if you think about like, here's the wide stance, you're going to work sort of like in staggers along that type of an orientation first to make sure that you're starting to increase the amount of IR that you can actually apply to the ground. And as the feet come in, so he's bringing his feet in on his squat, then you could probably start to use that kind of a strategy. But again, that's the question mark. It's like, how close can I get you to do those activities. Because there's nothing magical about those mobilizations other than the fact that there's just differences in like the impulse, some of the positional stuff, you're still mobilizing the foot by the capability of bringing the squat from the wider stance to the more narrow stance, or when you're using a stagger, like say you're doing like, it's like your chops and your lifts and staggered stance, you're still mobilizing the foot into the ground. You're just doing it in a much more ER representation because you just don't have the space to work in yet.

Yes.

There's no role into it, right? There's no role into it.

So the box helps you control the joint position. That's the muscle orientation, okay? The behavior on the box is going to influence the connective tissue behavior. So it's important that you differentiate between the two.

All right. What is your response? You have two options. Okay. You collapse under my load, right?

Hey, Paul. Hang on. I need to grab something. I'm going to try to explain this. I need you to see this, because I think if you see this, you'll get it. Definitely a visual.

You have to have access to metal propulsion, you said. You have to.

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.

Okay, that's a late foot.
