Well, actually, even at like 90 degrees, if her lower leg. Yeah. Absolutely.

Okay. So then you create a bibliography, um, that is attached to like, so let me just grab one here. So there's a bibliography card right there. So I have a bibliography catalog and then I got, let me see if I got something interesting. So this is an archetype card, okay, sit. And then down at the bottom I put a little reference so I know where the information is. Yeah, just create it yourself. Having said that, having said that, I'm not good at apps because I'm old. And it's really important that you do this the hard way. You gotta do it the hard way. Writing by hand is harder than typing, but it works better from making connections and a level of understanding. So you learn better when it's harder. This is why people don't like to read because reading is an unnatural act, right? Like we created reading and so our brains were not designed to read and so it's very, very difficult, but like reading a real book with real pages that you have to turn and do that thingy. That's the way you want to accumulate information. What people do now is they skim everything. They use skimming strategies when they claim to have read things. But if it's digital, you don't read the same way as you print. And so I write things down. Anybody that's ever been, let's see, Manuel's been the intensive, Alex has been the intensive. So anybody that's been the intensive knows that they get a notebook. And I tell them, I said, take notes, like they do it by hand. I want it to suck. I just want it to be horrible and miserable and just massive amounts of struggle and suffering and pain. And because that's, that's the best way to learn. It's not the easiest way. Like easy doesn't, doesn't promote the retention and the, the emotional attachment to it. I am attached. I am very attached to my no cards. So they're very meaningful. That's how I do it.

Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm.

OK. So that impulse time is good? What kind of a differential is he getting within that amount of time? So this is my question. It's like, so he's got to yield and overcome within that time constraint. That's the question: take your best vertical jumper. What is their advantage? Well, they make the changes in the connective tissue to a greater extent in a shorter period of time and create pressure. Those are the mechanics that are required. My question then would be, does he have the yielding capabilities in that timeframe? His impulse looks like it should be superstar level, but there are other components that have to occur within that timeframe. If he doesn't have the differential, then he doesn't have like a trampoline, right?

Well, his rib cage isn't moving. So you've got to get the expansion there. Like he's telling you by his lack of shoulder IR, the lack of horizontal abduction, chances are he's got a deficit in ER, like traditional early ER in the shoulder as well. It's like you've got a lot of compressive strategy that needs to be alleviated so he can expand and capture these motions with some relative motion. He's not going to throw with relative motion, but you've got to start there. Otherwise, like I said, he's just going to prolong the exposure of the elbow. But you've got to look at this systemically. It's like your thought process is like, okay, I need this ribcage to be able to, he's a wide ISA, you better be able to close the ISA on the left side or you're not going to get the internal rotation.

Greetings.

No, I know exactly what you're saying. No, I'm totally with you. And I think your thought process and reasoning is on point. We talk about relative motion being in that space of easy breathing, like tidal volume breathing. One of the reasons why that is as such is because, well, okay, there's less muscle tension there, circulation wouldn't be affected. I wouldn't have to be biased towards an anaerobic energy system. I wouldn't have the production of strong ions that are associated with short-term energy systems. I wouldn't get the feedback under that circumstance, which actually increases muscle activity via the feedback to the autonomic nervous system. You see, there's this huge cycle here. Absolutely. So if I can provide the greater the degree of energy that I can produce from an oxidative standpoint, the more likely I am to be able to maintain a greater degree of relative movement under whatever circumstance that I am in. So it becomes huge, actually, especially with. Think about this, take your 400 meter hurdler. If you ever run a 400, like flat out, like try to, you know. It's terrible. It's arguably short of the vertigo thing. I think it might be the most unpleasant experience. Oh, no, let me take that back. I've been divorced. So that would be the most unpleasant experience that I've had. Actually, it wasn't the divorce that was unpleasant. It was the marriage. But the 400 meter run is vicious. And then, but what I want you to think about, Matt, I want you to think about the last 150 meters. Like the first 300, you're going, and this is awesome. And you're flying. And then the brick wall, the imaginary brick wall hits you in the face. And then it just becomes a torturous endeavor. But the thing that you notice, and people say this, it's like you start to tighten up. Right. Like your gate, your step length is less, your ability to produce vertical force is less, and your arm swing is reduced. And you just watch these people struggle. Even at the high levels, it's like you can see the difference. They're obviously so much better than the rest of the world. But no, it's like all of that muscle tension is all part of this relationship of behaviors. Again, if you could produce that, if you could produce the energy oxidatively at a high enough rate under the circumstance, most likely you'd never experience that. If I may. There's people that are walking around in that state. Okay. They are coming to everybody on this call that has dealt with somebody that has limited motion, most likely has somebody that is biased towards anaerobuses most of the time, right? Your couch potato, your couch potato lives in anaerobuses, right? And they don't move.

Yeah. So think about this. How much time does it take to go from back to front through the foot?

Yeah. It looks like side bent.

But if you don't have that, you don't have relative motion.

Yeah, okay.

Right. You don't want to do that. So you want that early representation, which would be like a whole foot on the platform thing, not just the heel elevation. Okay.

So your key for is at the second rib attachment to the sternum.

OK. Let's be really specific here. Because we know we got a wide ASA. We know we got to bring them back on the right. So if they were all the way forward on the right-hand side, and you got to bring them back, what shape do you want that pelvic orientation as you're mobilizing that knee to bring them back?

So you have to look at relative position to where like it's a comparator, right? So you have to look at it as a representation of its comparison to what? So concentric orientation relative to what? It's like that. That biceps, this is more eccentrically oriented than that. And this is more concentrically oriented than that. OK.

So hang on, it all comes down to how big your biceps are, dude.

Maybe because of what are you, what are you going to do? Robbie, what are you going to do? What are you going to do when you see, when you see a two middle feet? Like they're, they're, they're in middle propulsion on both sides. If they're in mid propulsion, that means their feet look exactly this. Their feet look exactly the same.

What position are you in there young man?

So that's the direction you go. You get it?

Here's the hardest thing to grasp. When we talk about ERs and IRs, you can't think maximal. You just have to think compared to the previous position. Right. Because if you think, because everything, like everything's like maximal IR, maximal ER, it's like, no, no, no, no, it's doing like this kind of thing. And they're doing it relative. So like if this starts to ER, right? So again, do you think about timing? If I have like a, like a, a superior to inferior ER representation, that means that this goes first and then this starts to go with it. So it's later. It's like, so people say, well, but this is ER and that's IR. It's like, no, they're both going in the same direction, just at different rates. Right. That's one of the tougher things to grasp. Because everybody thinks that if I say that the femur is ER and the TV is ER and everything says they're doing this. And it's that.

Yeah, so here you go. I will give you the difference, okay? You're standing on a two-meter box, okay? And you're going to jump off of it. It's really high. That's really high. Right. You're going to land and then try to jump immediately upon landing. Okay. Or, or you're going to land and try to stick the landing. Right. Like a gymnast coming off of the high bar. Right. Where they stick it. All right. In one case, the connective tissue, you're going to land, you're going to try to stiffen your body, but the connective tissue is going to expand and then you're going to use that recoil to try to leave the ground again. On the other one, you're going to allow the joints to move progressively in a manner to slow down. So the joint has to change position so the muscle can change its orientation to dampen the connective tissues because I want all that energy to dissipate. I don't want to store it and release it. I want to dampen it and spread it out as much as possible. There's the difference in your connective tissue.

All right. In what directions does your center of gravity move?

Yeah, so you clean up the over squat test, you put them up on their feet, and then you want to make sure that when you bring them up that they're not losing that position, right? That she loses the position when she stands up.

I have a quick one. I was hoping you could go through early, middle, and late for the anterior outlet of the pelvis with a visual.

You'll slow that side down. There's no guarantee you're gonna capture that medial foot contact. You're gonna have to be kind of careful with that. But it could work. You're thinking correctly.

But when the spine becomes one piece, just like the pelvis does. So when the pelvis is locked in, we start to lose a lot of motion, but when the spine and the pelvis are locked in, then you don't have much of anything.

Yes. So if you can do it without an orientation, right? Because all you're doing is you're just creating the turn. You're trying to create a turn. I've got you in a bigger ER space so I might have some turning capability available to me under those circumstances. The idea of the orientation of the lower body is like you just got to figure out, okay, what space do I have available to put you into start? And then how can I create the gradient from one side to the other? So I get to create the delay on one side so I can capture the IR on that side. So I might have to advance the other side forward, which is what you're asking, right? You're going to create a later representation on one side of the pelvis so I can create the delay on the other side. Now I actually have been induced to turn. I'm still out here in ER space, but at least I'm starting to get the IR superimposed. So I start to capture more IR. Now I can start to turn them into another position.

So if I was going to write a program and I have multiple exercises in that program, that would be one of them, right? Because it's coherent with the desired outcome. Because we're trying to hold her back on that right side. That's a perfect choice. Again, I'm writing a program. I've got the chop in there. I've got a staggered stance box squat. I've got a rack carry on the right-hand side. I'm literally writing a program to achieve the desired outcome. This is what you want to do with program coherence. I want all of those exercises to benefit the desired outcome, not create interference.

Think about this for a second. You give him a front foot elevated split squat. First, okay. And then take him back to the squat and see what happens. Now you might have given him enough relative motion that when you do put him under load, you don't see the same strategy or you don't see it to the degree that you did before.

I would assume it affects like variable muscle tension and other way that makes it hard to change your position. I'm also wondering if there's some sort of like fluid flow change that it does not allow. You want me to try and keep going? I would imagine it affects appropriately.
