Right. So if they're in a five day rotation and they throw a bullpen on day three. It would behoove you to be able to recapture that stuff within that window. So that they can be ready for the bullpen. You've got two days to recapture that because chances are you're going to have a high intensity exposure in there somewhere associated with the first appearance. Within that 24 hour period, that's where you want to condense your high intensity stuff to recapture it. It should be demonstrated in bullpen. Bullpen will take some of it away, and then you have a couple of days to recapture it before the next appearance, if they're like a five-day rotation starter.

Okay. What's wrong with forward head?

Because I think she's so far forward on the left that that's even too much.

But as I said, people don't like to do that because it's much harder. One last thing. I do have electronic apps. There's so much electronic information that when you have to work quickly sometimes, and so if I have to download a paper or something like that, I do have a place where I capture that, but I ultimately take that information and transfer it to notecards.

How are you going to do it? I'm not really asking about that.

Okay. So it's trampoline. Okay. So here's like the best vertical jumper. Right? Okay. And then here's your guy. Save him on a time. Different excursion of the connective tissue behavior, and therefore he doesn't have as much energy going into the jump. The amount of time that he's applying the forces, they're all the same as what your great vertical jumpers would be, right? But now you don't have the other components.

So that's most likely the IR substitution is what you're seeing. Like something that looks like a side bend, that's an IR substitution. You'll see it in a split squat. If you haven't, do a left leg forward split squat. Chances are as he descends, the left hip will stay higher than the right, okay? Because what he's going to do is try to create an orientation because he's got a substitute for the lack of interrotation. So you've got to get medial foot contacts, you've got to get early hip IR, okay? This is going to be a pelvic shape change as well. Okay. So getting him on his side, getting him on his side. Okay. A lot of rolling activities to start to create some of the shape change through the pelvis and through the ribcage.

Sure.

Yeah. Like, have you ever worked with a mixed martial artist?

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

Not really.

Forward and closing the posterior outlet so I can see how that would

Watching that wave as that lead leg strikes, we see that wave run up the lateral front leg, hits her in there, hits her in the outside of the lower back from my observation, and then comes back again. So when she starts to get into her higher level throws with a little more intensity, she ends up getting a fair bit of lumbar pain immediately after the throw. And you can sort of see it hit and then turn around and come back down again.

Good morning. Happy Tuesday. I have neural coffee in hand and it is perfect. All right, digging into a very busy Tuesday. A quick housekeeping item: the applications for the Intensive 20 are now closed. Thank you to all of you who have applied, especially with the little date change. So remember this is going to be December 8th through the 11th for the Intensive 20. Digging into today's Q&A, this was Zach. This is a continuation of a conversation that I introduced in a segment last week, and Zach is doing a return to play with somebody that's coming off of an ACL, not ready to start a lot of plyometric activity through the lower extremities, but there are so many things that you can be doing to prepare this athlete or client for these activities that will be coming later because of the mechanics that are going to be involved proximally. You can actually start to work on those. And so this is what this discussion is about. So we actually go through some possible options and ways to address these internal mechanics that are going to be necessary when it does come time to add the lower extremities back into it. It will be a time saver and you will see much greater progress if you start thinking along these lines. So thank you Zach for bringing this up. Everybody have an outstanding Tuesday and I will see you tomorrow. Regarding connected tissue behavior, you're going to have to restore some of the connected tissue behaviors as well. All the more reason, all the more reason to start doing your medicine ball work in the high box position, like I said, protect the knee, start working on the outlet behavior.

Is there anything unique about that attachment? Like where it's attaching? Do you understand?

Where? Oh, curve ball.

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. The biceps is more eccentrically oriented than that, and this is more specifically oriented than that. OK.

Okay. So think about the musculature. Here you go. If you're almost bent 90 degrees, what's your primary supinator muscle? You're almost extended by traditional representation, right? Fully extended. What's your primary supinator?

Like 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.

When you're holding it, the forward foot would be stepping forward.

Yeah. Yeah.

The hardest thing to grasp is that when we talk about ERs and IRs, you can't think in maximal terms. You have to think compared to the previous position. If you think about everything being maximal IR or maximal ER, it's incorrect—it's relative. For example, if this starts to ER, you have to consider timing. If I have a superior to inferior ER representation, that means this goes first and then this starts to go with it, so it's later. People think that if the femur is ER and the TV is ER, they're doing the same thing, but they're both going in the same direction, just at different rates. That's one of the tougher things to grasp because everyone thinks that if I say the femur is ER and the TV is ER, they're all doing the same motion.

Okay. Right. You're going to land and then try to jump immediately upon landing. Yeah. 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.

Which does what to your center of gravity?

So, maybe one of you should do that. That's going to give you your next step. So it sounds like you're being really successful. When you reduce gravity, you're able to recapture what you need to. The next question is, do I still have control upright? If you don't, if you lose it upright, you know you can transition them from the reduced gravity situation to a little bit more upright, but you might not be able to bring them all the way up. So now you might need to do something that's more reclined, like elevated heels, offset stances, chops, things like that, to reduce gravity in the upright position. Does that make sense?

Left.

Right. So think about like, I'm stepping forward. With the right foot, you got a left carry, is that what you're saying?

Okay, so we're in a low oblique sit. And you want to do what? Do you want to move him into a bigger ER representation to superimpose the IR? Is that what you mean? You want to create more, move him into a wider space away from midline?

I knocked out about four sets of five or so and retested and was fantastic. It was cleared right up. So good result there. Now explanation to them because they obviously they were looking at playing around with my patella tracking and talking about, you know, muscle imbalances as we were talking about. They manipulated my knee during the course of a couple of them to see whether that reduced the pain. It didn't like my patella. It didn't change at all. And then once I went through the sequence of events so I managed to clear it up and so they were asking me about it. sort of had the thought come to mind that while I'm in a lead leg split squat, like I'm not super strong, but I'm strong enough to know that when I have my rear foot in a split squat, I should be able to push up without the muscles in the quads needing to work significantly hard enough to be contracted to any extent where a muscular imbalance would proved to be the difference between my patella moving left or right. And it occurred to me that if the muscles are under very low load, or even at rest, then how could a muscular imbalance even make sense? Do you know what I mean by that?

I need to get her internal rotation on the right side. I have to put the foot in a position where she can capture the medial foot cues. Chances are, based on her description, if I try to go left foot forward, right foot back stagger, which is where I really want her to go, I may not have enough relative motion to capture that position. I have to start in this position. I'm going to chop towards the right medial heel to start to capture the internal rotation on that side, which is actually moving her back towards the heel. That's where I want her to go. Then I can just slowly change the orientation as she picks up internal rotation, and then I push her way back into that middle representation. Hold on to the delay. I drop her into a right heel, which is where I want her to go in the first place.
