Well, and people would naturally say, well, what do you do when so-and-so is in the gym? But they don't care. Like they know, like these professional athletes, like I remember when Roy was here, he'd be like, man, like that chick's getting on it. Like some of our gym clients are like so into their work. Absolutely. I can't remember a name now, but the lady that used to put on, she had like the headband and she would just push the prowler in the end of the building. And Roy was looking at her one day, he's like, man, that chick's like getting on it. And so that inspired me. He's like, I got to get my stuff together here.

Sounds miserable.

It better be moving towards external rotation. So everything is going to progressively move towards external rotation to get the leg out. So I have to have a foot to land on. So it's going to be in that direction. So I'm doing this as I step forward. I'm doing that as I step forward. You appreciate that? OK. So everything's going out away from midline. Right. So everything's pointing in that direction.

If you get Bragg's mobilization of the nervous system, it's a fairly rare book, but I think Shackluck has it available. Have you done his neurodynamics course?

Just in general, just up on the left.

No, but I can visualize it.

OK. It just tells me how the center of gravity is moving from the back of the base of support to the front of the base of support. This is how you translate through propulsion. It's like, how fast are you going? Because I know the IR has to go through the foot. It's going to go from the rear foot to the tip of the toe. Always will. In some way, shape, or form. What I'm trying to determine is, where is it most impactful? Like where's most of the IR? To what degree is that being applied, and is it a distributed IR? Because when we rarely get to see this, we rarely see a perfect foot, at least in the initial stage. We see a lot of improvements over time, but we don't really see this perfect foot under most circumstances when people have problems. And so what I'm trying to determine is, how quickly does the IR go through the foot and where is it most prominent? Because that tells me where the center of gravity ends up. And what I want to be able to do is control the center of gravity through the base of support so I get this nice even distribution of IR through the foot, because that's relative motions. Versus the orientations that push IR straight down into the ground at some moment in time, which will magnify the representation through the foot into the ground. So it's going to be the rear foot. It's going to be straight through the subtalar joint. It's going to be anterior to the ankle through the midfoot. It's going to twist through the metatarsal phalangeal joint, et cetera.

They do exercises twice a day to offset that. And then they remind themselves to get up and move around during the day. Okay. So here's what I want you to do in that here. Let me, let me help you. All right. Sit up as tall as you can. Okay. As tall as you can. Okay. And then I want you to push your, uh, right hip forward ahead of the left for me, but keep your legs parallel. Not your shoulder, not your shoulder, just your hip. Okay. All right. You feel the position? Yeah. I want you to stay there for the remainder of the call. And I want you to tell me how great you feel by the end. That what you want to do to people is that what you want to do to people you want to make you want to stick them in a position and you want to say stay there because this is better. Does it feel better to hold that position for 20 minutes? No. Options feels good. teach them to acquire the options in a focused period and then repeat it enough times. So this is learning, right? They have to learn. They have to learn to help maintain their options, right? You can give them cues, like here I can just remind yourself to find this position and then forget about it, right? That's okay. But you don't want to say, this is a position. The minute you start doing that, people start chasing the position more than you're asking them to do. They think it's better. They think it's better. And then they try to get into that position. And then they cheat into that position because they don't know what they're doing. Right? Trying to interpret your instructions, and then they magnify those instructions in their head, because they want to do well for you. Right? And then they do too much of it, and then they have to compensate, and then they come back in, they go, you know, that paint on my right hip, it's in my left hip now.

Yes.

Yeah, rear foot and midfoot.

Okay. And then.

Yes, sir. There you go. See? That's the thinking right there. It's like letting the kettlebell represent the guts. All the guts down harder and longer, and guess what has to happen? I gotta get more yield. I gotta get more yield.

You have to think about where you are in space as you're applying the resistance. Okay. So what we're trying to do with any of those tools is to promote the desired shape change via muscle activity. Okay. So if I'm applying an ER force, so this is the band, and I apply that and the musculature above the trochanter is still in an ER orientation—so it's still producing extra rotation—what will be the end result?

No.

Totally agree.

Yeah. Um, are we allowed to show that?

Okay. Yeah. And now this is where I want to make sure I don't make things simpler than they are. Then does it make sense to think of treating an end game narrow from the bottom up and the reverse of that for a wide.

Like people say they do deadlifts, but they don't really do them.

You can really see it here, too. Oops. Pushing out to the saw, Jeff. Hang on a minute. Let me get this thing going.

something that I'm looking for to let me know like whether she's like capturing it in the moment or like making the favorable adaptations that I'm looking for or just like an educated guest based on presentation.

So you're thinking is pretty solid, but just look at the sequence. Look at what has to happen for this guy first. And you'll know based on whatever assessment process that you're using.

There you go. Then for the second mode, what do I do with my padding?

So if I am moving away from that leg, so I'm coming out of the cut, I need to move more towards the ER representation because the IR is reducing. The maximum amount of IR that was already produced into the ground is starting to dissipate. So as I move away from that, I'm moving more towards the ER orientation, which means that the outlet needs to change back to an eccentric orientation. Otherwise I can't access ER to come out of the cut because that would be the late ER representation. ER is increasing, IR is decreasing. If I had a concentric anterior outlet the whole time, I would be stopping.

Then you better be really good today. Let's hope. You'll do fine. You know what you're doing. Thanks. Welcome, sir. Those biceps. Those biceps.

No, it's like, I won't disagree. And again, your narrow ISAs, because they're designed to be better squatters in the first place, they tend to do really, really well with those squat strategies that are biased towards capturing the early, because they, like I said, they're just pre-designed to be better at it. With your, you know, with your wides, and this is why I like, you know, the box squat variations is because it's a little bit easier to work them off of the sticking point, like just above or just below, right? And then it allows them to promote the yield as well, which is what a lot of times they just can't do at all.

Not the pelvis.

But you'd have to have that experience. Yeah.

Could there potentially be a greater storage and release of energy under those circumstances?

Good morning, Bill. How's it going?

It is thick and well-kept. Nice work.
