Yeah.

I'm very happy. I'm very happy right now. I don't want anything. So happiness, happiness is not like when you throw a party and every, you know, like that's a moment of joy. Happiness is the spaces in between, right? Happiness is when you don't want for anything. So if I don't want anything, I'm very happy. If there's something that you desperately want, that's discomfort.

I got 30 seconds.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, it sucks.

Right, so she's looking for range of motion. She's trying to find a space that she can move into, right? So to squat, she needs the extra rotation. So she's going to orient her hips to try to find that. So that would be expected under these circumstances. So whenever you see that posterior compressive strategy, when you talk about being really flat on that backside, that's somebody that's pushed way forward, right? So she's got a lot of the superficial muscle activity that we talk about. That does not allow her to expand posteriorly and that's where you're going to pick up your extra rotation. So it stands to reason that anything that you ask her to do that demands the extra rotation, she'll find it, but it's going to be way out there, right. Chances are, she's also compressed anteriorly and then what you're seeing is the response of the anterior orientations, which would make it so a lot of people misunderstand when they see the sternum being up. They say, 'Oh, you have enough pump handle.' Well, if you had enough pump handle, you would have internal rotation, which sounds like she doesn't. So again, this is going to be somebody that is compressed, and she's moved so far forward to get that anterior orientation. This is just a response of the position. So if you later down, you don't do table tests, do you, because you're in the gym? Am I correct? I don't do table tests. I had her lie down and I want to check her breathing. Yeah, literally when she was supine breathing, she's breathing into her neck.

All right, dude. This was good.

So again, from a strategy standpoint, I think there's a lot of things that you can do here. He can still train, but you have to start thinking about, okay, what is the rate at which I'm loading this in? If he is pushed towards any element of this overcoming action of the connective tissues, you're going to be fighting a battle that you can't win. You have to start moving him back, creating delay strategies.

So tabletop position and working.

Yeah. And with her, she's got a bit of a kind of a kyphotic, sway back posture.

All marketing is eventually word of mouth. That's the bottom line: you have to get the word of mouth. If people aren't talking about you, then nobody's coming to see you.

Okay. At a PR level of effort, that means you've never been there before. This is a lift you have never accomplished in the history of your life. You have no idea what you're going to be exposed to. You have no idea what it feels like. You have no idea what strategy you're going to have to use. And then they figured a strategy out and they completed the lift. That's what a PR is. Some people might be able to do it more symmetrically than others. And some people might need to skew into massive amounts of asymmetry to finish the lift because the goal is to finish the lift. There are reasons that these people are world class because they're not normal. Normal and average people don't do amazing things. Usain Bolt runs what, a 9.59? He ain't normal. I don't expect him to have normal hip rotation. I don't expect him to have an anteriorly oriented pelvis. I expect his anterior rib cage to be a little bit more expanded than his posterior rib cage because he runs really fast in a straight line in a very specific direction. And if he doesn't expand in the right direction, guess what happens? He slows down, right? So again, what are the considerations here? Who are we working with? What are we trying to do? Are we trying to achieve something that no one has ever done before? Or are we just trying to help people move comfortably? There's a difference. We have to take that into consideration. And then that determines, well, what am I willing to accept?

Yes. Cool. Bill, can you elaborate a little bit on how this changes when you're accelerating to something versus decelerating? Because I mean, does it just make basically a bigger parachute on the backside so that you're not slowing or you're not—I guess you're delaying more—so you need essentially that bigger expansion on the backside. Okay. So,

Sure.

I think that it will get a lot of attention because I think that it's something that we need to get better at as an industry because I think that there's a deficit in education right now because the model is somewhat broken and repetitive and lackluster. It's become an issue. I understand I'm a capitalist. I want to make some money too. But the reality is it seems to be more dollar driven than quality driven. And so I think that we've made efforts to step up that game. But I think it's worthy of an open discussion in that regard too. So I think that those are the directions that will probably take this thing if that's cool with you.

It's not going that way. But what is happening in the female? Is it turned inward or turned outward to get out in front of me?

Ideally.

Remember, down is intro rotation. Okay, so that's why you see the left side go up, right side goes back to the right heel, because that's just where the center of gravity is going to go. Okay, you follow that? Yes?

That is correct.

It is perfect.

And that's unfortunately, but see, it wasn't a bendy knee. It was a straight knee that she had to bend.

Like a calcanei, no shape change. That was kind of yeah. Did you reduce that first?

I'm with you. I got you. So, almost like the drop is kind of like the letting out of the breath to give space for that inhale.

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.

Restricting the ability to IR.

So you're prolonging the application. Of, of downfall. Like, you're increasing the amount of time. So if you're a narrow ISA doing a trap bar deadlift, you're squeezing so much from the top and it takes time for you to reach enough force to move the weight. So I squeeze and then weight doesn't move. I squeeze the weight doesn't move. I squeeze the weight doesn't move. I squeeze the weight doesn't move. I squeeze it starts to move. I squeeze more and it comes off the ground.

Yes. Okay.

Yep. She's fine. She said we can show the world or we just want to keep this in the world. She said you can show the world.

Yes.
