Yup. That makes sense.

Without my skeleton in front of me.

It's actually interesting because I've been thinking about this kind of thing lately, but I'm not sure if I'm going to answer it. Maybe, uh, like under the posterior lower.

I'll stand. Yeah.

Supinator?

Well, no, two feet. Let's say, but I get what you mean.

Okay. But you've moved away from midline.

If you're trying to influence that situation where you have expansion on one side, compression on the other side, generally speaking, you're going to apply a compression to the expanded area in order to try to get this to happen.

Can you show that on the pelvis model real quick? No. For a squat.

Yeah, I understand. So just a follow-up question with it is: why do we just try to make the ear in all of the part? Maybe we need to correct just like for me, if I have been pushed forward, I need to hire my posterior pelvic. But if the ear is just to occur in the connective tissue, how can I just change the orientation of the muscle? And how can I store the relative motion?

Well, it's going to push my center of gravity back on the left.

Yeah, can we go over the shape that's giving her the right rotator cuff symptoms when she?

Okay. Left side. And we're going to do anterior outlet.

Yeah, if you're stepping forward, you got a left carry. You'll capture an early representation on that representation. The question mark is whether you can step through, capture, and hang on to the rear foot contact as you step through.

Yeah.

Yes, I understand.

Could you also put like a slant? Sorry, could you put, could you also like, could you start bringing her back a little bit earlier if you put her on like a 15 degree or 10 degree slant?

I understand now. Perfect. Awesome. So in the squat, essentially his right side is going forward.

Where's my storage and release of energy, my friend?

Yeah, because this is really important because again people say, oh, like this is turning one way, this is turning the other way. You got to see where they are in space. If you don't understand how the center of gravity moves, you start creating this concept in your head that's not there.

There's one more that we do that I want to ask you about. It's where we pull it sideways, right? And pushing once again, medially rotating or externally rotating the back leg, the working leg, the leg that's facing the sled. Five degrees. Yeah. As you push off mainly, you know, say once again, working on that inside the medial arch, right?

And you've got a much better shot at restoring the force production. But in all seriousness, to save us an element of time and discussion, watch that. Okay. And then maybe come back with questions because it will stimulate thought. That's the goal of that video. It's not to tell people what to do. It's just to give you a representation of, oh, this is how I might capture that middle in a very small space. Good morning. Happy Wednesday. I have neuro coffee in hand and it is perfect. All right, well, today is Wednesday. That means that tomorrow is Thursday, which means 6 a.m. tomorrow morning is the Coffee and Coaches Conference call as usual. Great Q&A. Great people. Grab yourself a cup of coffee. Please join us. 6 a.m. Link will be on my professional Facebook page just prior to the call tomorrow morning. Again, Thursday, 6 a.m. Digging into today's Q&A. This is a great conversation with Dale. Dale is a big strong human being. He and I grew up in the same area. We get along really well. We get to talk about the same people because we knew all these people coming up. But anyway, Dale is working on some things in regards to relative motion. This question actually unpacks a lot of concepts: concentric orientation and the limitation in expansion, anti or posterior compressive strategies, the limitations that are associated with scapular retraction activities. So things are not as they are cracked up to be or what people perceive them to be. So scapular retraction can create interference that is an anti or posterior compressive strategy as well. I'm trying to stretch a concentrically oriented muscle, stiffness of connected tissues. I mean, we covered the gamut in this one question, so thank you, Dale for bringing all this stuff up. It's going to be very useful for a lot of people. If you would like to participate in a 15-minute consultation, please go to askbillhartman at gmail.com. Please put '15 minute consultation' in the subject line so we don't delete it. Please include your question in the email. We will arrange that at our mutual convenience. Everybody have an outstanding Wednesday. I will see you tomorrow morning, 6 a.m. Coffee and Coaches Conference.

Yeah, it's like they have 20 IR on the left and 35 IR on the right, and on the right it's 45 IR and 10 IR.

Okay, so freeze frame for just a second. If all of those measures are representative of distributed contributions to the measure—femur in the hip socket, the iliac bone moving, the sacrum moving, and the spine moving—then all of those things should move together in concert to whatever degree to produce a result. If you call it 'full,' that term implies that this is how it should be.

Awesome. Okay. So now we have clarity. Okay. What is she lacking at that hip? Is she lacking E-R-I-R?

Okay. Yeah. It's an arrow. So they are more biased towards flexion.

Correct. Yeah. But again, it would be, you're absolutely right. It would be based on experience. But I don't have to be in the exact same environment to be able to apply experience. I just need to formulate a prediction. You have an analogy of certain things in your head, right? So it's a story, like this is what a split squat's supposed to look like, kind of a thing, right? And then you make a comparison. And so in a dynamic situation where things are unpredictable, you're still making predictions, right? The ground is gonna be firm underneath my feet. If I... You know who Wayne Gretzky was? Yeah. Okay. Very small human being for hockey players, like 5'11", 175, not fast, yet the greatest scorer of all time. What he was really, really good at was predicting. So his prediction capabilities were great. And he actually said this in an interview. He said, I never went after the puck. I always went to the area where I thought the puck was going to be. Right? And so again, very aware, and he's in a very specific environment many, many times. And so his predictability was probably a little bit higher than the average Joe. But generally speaking, it's like you're still making predictions. And then the more experience you get in an environment, the better your predictions get, your probabilities go up in your favor. So the anticipatory behaviors should improve. That's really good, Alec. Man, I love that. I love that. So why didn't I think of that? So I've been doing this for a long time. It's like, yeah. But this is why we do those calls. So I learned some.

Right. So now you have a field test, air quotes grace. You have a field test to tell you what their power output is. Right. So I do the get up and go. I put the stopwatch on them. Right. Or an hourglass depending on how old they are. Right. Okay, and then then you train the power output and then you teach them to go, so then you have them, they're in front of like a two inch step and you go tap the step, tap the step, tap the step, tap the step, tap the step. So you're teaching them to push it into the ground with their other foot so they can unweight the other side. But you might have to start with a box squat back to box squats. You see it? Because you got to train the outlet to be quick and to get them to push into the ground. That has nothing to do with increasing the width of their base of support per se. I'm just trying to create the outlet behavior that is the limiting factor. Got it. Got it. The problem is, OK, do you work in the extended care facilities? Yes. So this is outpatient, but I'm more on the neural team. You know I'm talking about like you've been to extended care facilities, you got the hunched over people, they're crushed front to back they're bent over and getting shoved into the ground like gravity is just killing them right. Yes, you can't unweight their feet. So how much pressure. So now we got a narrow is a. We got a narrow ISA with a wider pelvis than a thorax. They've eccentrically oriented. All of their forces are going down. You do a 400 pound trap bar deadlift. They can't get it off the floor because their eccentrically oriented outlet is pushing them into the ground. So the old folks are getting squeezed from the top down because gravity is winning. They're hunched over, they're being pushed in the ground. They're eccentrically oriented into the floor. Their outlets are down. They can't lift their feet up. So they shuffle their feet across the ground, and they give them four extra legs on a walker so they can unweight their foot and take a step forward. You see it? It's pure physics.

Okay. So where would the expansion occur under those circumstances? Now you get it, right? Like all of a sudden it's like, Oh, this is very clear, isn't it?

Does that make sense?
