Because they use dead guys as an example.

Yeah. Exactly. You see it?

If she was doing a right foot forward split squat.

I think I have a quick question regarding a chessboard interpretation. I've recently had a series of narrow ISA individuals whose external rotation (ER) measures are very challenging. They seem to have potential for significant ER, but upon closer examination, the movement appears more focused on internal rotation (IR). For this question, assuming the right IR is less than the left, I'm considering primarily the hip. For an individual to reach a point where right IR is less than left, would this be due to the orientation of the left innominate into anti-orientation, or the one-bar spine turning away? Presumably, their center of gravity should have shifted forward on the left before moving right, causing initial loss of left IR. So, I'm wondering how they return to a state where left IR is greater than right.

Do you understand?

I have what feels like a pretty basic question that almost answers itself. But before someone enters a standing position, after capturing some sort of axial skeletal position, would you typically ensure that you capture the foot cues on the ground before then getting them to stand?

So if you sit back, sort of tuck your hips underneath you like in your chair, you can create that little sit back. You probably don't want to close off that space on a narrow ISA if you're trying to make a favorable change because they're already kind of there by structure. If this space is closed and I put pressure on that space, my concern is that I would just enhance what I'm already looking at. So what I would want to do is create that kind of representation. I want to make sure that I'm not compressing the sacrum underneath at all. So I want to try to be in that position. The really simple way to do that is to extend the leg on this side out in front of them.

Yeah.

OK, so those influence the forces, or the strategy that you use to manage the forces. Some physical structures make it very easy to manage those forces. Some structures make it incredibly difficult to manage those forces. So that's why you see the different strategies.

You mean as you do the manipulation? If you don't have knee bent, you're not going to get like the, you can't propagate the, the waveform, right? Okay. It would stop.

All right. So I just wanted to know how you kind of got where you are in the field. So I just kind of want to get an idea on your career path and how you wound up where you are. Why does that matter to you? I'm just curious. Cause I want people to learn how to navigate this fitness industry.

Who has a bigger representation of middle propulsion? Wide ISA people or narrow ISA people? Who's IR biased? Who's IR biased? Wide ISAs are more IR biased. So you can work in that middle range a lot more because they have more potential for that middle range to be represented. Whereas with something like the craziest narrow of narrows, the amount of space they have for middle propulsion is very small. That's why I always say, if somebody is really, really late and they're narrow, I go all the way back to early to capture that and then try to come back through to pick up the middle, because it's a little easier to do that. Whereas somebody that's a wide ISA bias doesn't have as big a representation of early range. So even if you try to move them back to early, you're still going to be towards their middle representation. Lateral sled drags tend to be a little better for middle representations. You see the difference?

There's an active muscle in the way.

So, no, does he have that turn?

Yeah, if you can speak both languages, because you're going to have to, when you communicate with colleagues and stuff. So if you can speak both languages, I think it gives you a lot of power.

So it's ironing this way, right?

Yeah. It's just like you're spotting a dude on a bench press, right? And then the bar is on his chest. Done. It's all the same, right? He erred in getting the bar down to his chest, but now he can't compress enough. Okay.

That would be a very low load activity, but it also requires that you're able to accomplish that position.

I know. OK. So I learned.

On the table in the gym, pick your strategy, like whatever you're. I don't want everybody to think that they got to throw people in the table, right? For you, yes. Because I know that's part of your skill set, right? Yeah. It's very useful under those circumstances. And then, so hang on a second. Um, we're talking about the tuning. I always have to mention Austin Ulrich in this.

Yes. Yes.

Yeah, so they're moving forward through space, are they not?

You're looking at a sphere. And so you have to turn the thorax so you can see the helices going through the thorax in the other representation. And now you start to see where all that space really is. So it's not a snow angel. With the helical angle, you drew a snow angel in that first representation. But if you were in a pool and I'm looking down on you in the pool and you were going like that, you're snowing. That's the space because that's four. But see, but you got to combine the two. So it goes like that. You see where the space really is?

When I say anti-orientation of the pelvis, do you know what I mean?

Because she had very limited measures in both hips.

Yeah, for sure. Because I saw it as, if I chop towards the middle of my medial heel, I was seeing it as less of a whole axial skeleton rotation. But if I would go out, I see more of a sacrum going there and the whole spine going there.

You and Manuel are both making references to a call that was like three days ago that I've totally forgotten about.

Yeah.

Okay. So even though it's not symptomatic by neurologic standards, you can still use those tests to help you determine where you have concentric orientation issues.

Yep, makes a lot of sense. Thank you.
