Once again, it's like we can use that perspective, but let's also consider a couple of things. What would need to happen? So if I'm trying to create a signal to create the adaptation, which is the hypertrophy, right? So I have to produce enough trauma to that area, right? So how do I do that? How do I do that? I have to create a lack of movement elsewhere to allow that one movement to occur in such an isolated area. So the area of emphasis where the load has the impact to create that signal. So you say, oh, so based on what you gave me as the representation, anytime that elbow is at 90 degrees under load, it's producing its maximum force. But it's not, it's not put your elbow behind your body and put your elbow at 90 degrees. You ever do curls back there? Yeah, why? Because you distributed the relative motion, which reduces force production. So now we're back to ERs and IRs stopping motion. So I have to slow everything down everywhere else and let the velocity occur at the elbow to create an area of emphasis of load on tissue to get the tissue to respond in the appropriate manner. Okay, if you wanted to build the world's biggest chest, okay? So we're talking like Schwarzenegger level peak. He still has the best chest. He still has the best chest that's ever been.

So our squat was horrible. I don't judge, but the way she went down, it was more of a hinge and immediately her toes would toe out.

Awesome.

Yes, it does.

Okay. Does that answer your question?

And again, so you've got to think orientation first, because you're not going to be able to reacquire relative motions in the pelvis or in the thorax without the reorientation first.

That's how I've grown. I work with everybody based off of word of mouth.

Okay.

You guys know how to pin the video so you can blow it up on your screen if you need to. You go to the upper right hand corner of my little box. There's a three dot thing and you can pin it, so it'll make it bigger. So I need the spine to turn that way, which means I need to compress this. And this has to be an ER, so it's going to do that. See it? So everything goes like that. So I get my turn. I get my yield over here. I get my overcoming here. See it? Got it. Makes sense.

You ever see a rear naked choke?

capabilities as a professional and so it's been really fascinating to see that so I think that that maybe we go there for the next time. I love that. I love that and talk about just the evolution, not only how our evolution has continued but yeah the evolution that has come with the development of the business and just the education models of all of that, absolutely. And that's huge and I think that'll gain a lot of

OK. So everything's going out away from midline. Right. So everything's pointing in that direction.

Bragg has pretty good cadaver evidence of how stuff moves. But in a normal human being, when you have concentric orientation, there's compression of space. You always hear the phrase in neurodynamics that nerves like three things: they like movement, blood flow, and space. The easiest way to take all of those away is through concentric orientation. So when you're doing a neurodynamic test, you realize you're doing movement tests. When you feel the tension associated with each portion of the neurodynamic test, you're going to feel an element of tension. And that's what you want to pay attention to other than symptoms. As you change the orientation and reduce the motor output, that's what makes the test go negative. You're not feeling nerve tension as you move somebody through space; you're feeling the resistance of the muscle activity and connective tissue behaviors. If you change that, it just melts away. Then they go, 'That's so much better.' They go, 'Well, of course it is.' Right? Pat yourself on the back and then you don't have to bang your head on the steering wheel on the way home.

Okay.

Okay, so I get that. At max P, the overcoming action would increase at its highest rate. That's why it's max speed.

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 metatarsophalangeal joint, et cetera, et cetera.

Again, it's like focusing your activities. When you're exercising, focus on that. You teach breathing stuff, right? Have you ever had people come back and say, 'I've been breathing like that all the time' or 'I've been trying to breathe like that all the time'? You didn't give them that instruction. You told them to breathe like that all the time? No. You told them to do it during their exercise, but their perception is, 'Oh, this is better. I need to do this all the time.' And then they start cheating. And then you have to undo that problem. Focus your efforts, restore options, do enough to maintain those options. Then you rarely have to give instructions outside of those time periods.

So she basically made a knee out of her big toe.

You have the rear foot adaptation.

So that's what I'm talking about. It's like there's a breath hold and then there's the right. And then they breathe in to move into that space. So that's the drop.

Yeah. No, that was great. Good morning. Happy Thursday. I have neuro coffee in hand and it is perfect. And that is really good today. I wasn't really going to have a question because I've been going over this in my head, but I figured it'd be faster if I just asked a clarifying question. So it's sort of foundational with the foot, specifically in the first array. And I was wondering if I was trying to write down, yeah, perfect. I haven't even looked up yet. So I was trying to write down what the rear foot versus the midfoot versus the distal foot is doing at each point relative to each other, and then which direction the wave is going at those points in time. Yes, very much so. So I guess I was picturing in early propulsion, you'd have more of an ER calcaneus. Right. And then, and then the midfoot, like the, like the proximal, the midfoot and proximal met head would be more relative. I yard. Well, okay. So, so, you know, I'm, I'm making this wave for a reason. Yeah. Right. It is moving from like, it's going from like when the first met head touches, right? It goes from the wave, IR wave is going from the first met head towards the heel and then up the body, right?

Well, it stays a yard, but again, it's like from a positional standpoint in the pelvis, what are you restricting under the circumstance?

So, like, what is physically changing though? Like, I guess the connective tissue beside of that.

Awesome. So my thought was, you know, what if you put a narrow squat in a more favorable position for their archetype, such as like, you know, an upper portion of a squat or a split squat, right? You're not as much in their quote unquote sticking zone. And you perform the isometric there. I mean, at the end of the day, they're still squeezing. But if they're in a more favorable position for their frame, is that helpful at all?

So it's her face and the whole thing. We're okay.

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.

OK, so can you stand up so you can feel this maybe?

Yeah, yeah. So there was a couple of things in respect to that being, that being the case, that would indicate that she's, she's a narrow. Is that if that, if that coxivera is in place.

Well, okay, let's make this like crazy simple, my friend. She's going to train in a seated position for axial skeletal stuff. Got any tests in a seated position?

Good morning. Happy Wednesday. I have neuro coffee in hand and it is perfect. All right. Well, today is Wednesday. That means tomorrow is Thursday. Tomorrow morning, 6am, Coffee and Coaches Conference Call as usual. Grab a cup of coffee. Please join us for some great people, great Q&A. Start your day off with a little bit of education. Coffee, Coaches, Conference Call, 6am. The link will be on my professional Facebook page just prior to the call. A little bit of housekeeping item: Intensive 20, November 17th through 20th. Again, the announcement will be going out to people on the mentorship list. Go to billhartmanpt.com, go to the bottom of the blog post, put your email in there, and you will be on the list to be first notified when applications open this week. All right, digging into this Q&A. This is with Alex. Alex's question pertained primarily to the mechanics in the distal lower extremity, but it kind of points us to some mechanics that occur also in the pelvis at the same time. And then it also promotes the concept of how we change shape. So the reason we change shape is because you're 99% water, 1% stuff, and we have to behave as such. And so what we're doing is we're redirecting energy via shape change. So early we're absorbing energy, late we're kind of distributing that energy, with middle propulsion being the highest forces applied to the ground. So we kind of cover that ground a little bit. So this is actually a really cool question because it does cover a lot of foundational concepts. Always love that type of question. So thank you, Alex. Everyone have an outstanding Wednesday. See you tomorrow morning, 6am for the Coffee and Coaches Conference call.
