Yeah, so think about this for a second. Let's use the backward roll as an example. Somebody's trying to walk on a foot that has clawed toes. That means their center of gravity is staying too far back. They're trying to lift up and over, and so they have to pull things closer together. How well do you think they're going to roll up and over that foot in a true late representation? It's not going to be very good because you're creating a massive amount of stiffness in the foot. All the connective tissues on the plantar aspect of the foot are going to be in an overcoming representation and they're going to be very stiff. People always complain about how they love it when you rub their feet because it alleviates some of that stiffness they feel while trying to walk across the ground. Now, here's what I want you to do: Land your back. Do a backward roll with a shrug and tell me how great that feels. What's going to happen is you're going to start to roll back, break your hips off the ground, and your hips are going to go right back down onto the floor because you've got the shrug and the clawed toes that are pushing you back into the ground.

Yeah. So it's never going to turn to the right under those circumstances, right?

Right.

Okay. There you go. Perfect. Okay. So what I want you to do is I want you to put weight on the medial aspect of your elbow for me. Like that. Okay. Perfect. Now, did you notice yourself drop to the inside of the elbow? You're dropping towards the midline of your hand and then you got on the backside of your trochanter. Did you notice that?

Now, I've seen you kind of play around with whether it's in standing or in hook line play around with having people explore the outer edge of the foot, come back in. Is that a typical part of your process just to have them understand how that transition between almost like the foot representation of internal and external rotation feels? Is that typically where you would go rather than just be like, here's a job?

So, if you're in the sort of cross-leg, high oblique representation and you just kick the bottom leg straight out in front of you, that's actually part of the solution that you're looking for in your description. And again, I would want to avoid the rock back on the narrow ISA under most circumstances.

It's like, but it's the point where I'm like, I look at someone and like, like recently I'm, it's kind of a rule of thumb thing where I find that for chopping activity with narrow grips, it works better to have them use a rope attachment and kind of as a general rule of thumb. No. In my response. Okay. So I'm on to something. Okay. Cool. And the bar seems to work better with wide grips.

Well, because that, because that's all the overcoming and yielding only describes connective tissue behavior. It's nothing to do with the muscles themselves. Okay. So, okay. Let me, let me, let me clarify. Wrong. Muscle, when I say muscle orientation, so that's concentric versus eccentric orientation. Okay. Describes a position of the muscle. Yes. Okay. The connective tissue behaviors either yield, they are expanding to absorb or distribute energy, or they are overcoming, which means that they are compressing where they are releasing energy. Okay, so again, that's one of the challenges is like you have to separate the two because they don't do the same thing. And a lot of people, they make an error is that they associate those connective tissue descriptors with muscle behavior and that is not the case because they have to be separate. Connective tissues don't change muscle position. That's one of the key elements in understanding this. It's like they are managing the potential and kinetic energy that we use to move through space.

One second. Very important. So, think about this. That's one of the reasons why some people get knee pain because they have a twist at the knee that stops it at the knee.

OK.

Yeah. They just go backwards, right? They're going to drag it. They're going to pretend to move backwards. Yeah. Send them to move backwards. You understand what I'm saying, right?

We're not able to create enough expansion posteriorly.

Now you're getting my attention, okay? So if you got him in prone on elbows, right?

It's okay. No, it just has to do with the direction of the glenoid more than anything else, right? So it's more of an orientation hour as opposed to the shoulder blade coming back. Yeah. So think about this for a sec, though. So to orient the glenoid into an outward direction, which would be traditional ER, you have to compress the medial border of the scapula, don't you? That's the IR representation. So it's ER orientation with the IR superimposed on it. There you go. There's your compressive strategy for IR as you orient the glenoid into ER. Do you see it?

Yeah. You're untwisting her IR. She's using an IR compensatory strategy. You understand that, right?

Sweet. Bring me back.

Ouch, okay.

Perfect.

There you go. Shorter ground contact time, but lower jump. Shorter ground contact time, higher jump. That's better storage and release, isn't it?

And so since I don't have table tests when I'm looking at lack of hip extension, I'm probably looking more like that maybe a drop in the back leg or that back hip, more of a possibly turning to that

You're going to fall backwards.

Right.

You get it?

Okay. Yeah.

I would want 90 at the hip.

Put your hands together out in front of you and reach as far as you can. Okay. So here's what I want you to do: lead the turn with the rib that's right next to the left side of the spine, not with your hands. So don't pull with your hands. Your hands are going to move, but I want you to lead with the turn of your spine, not the pull with your hands.

Okay.

Yeah.

And then you'd cue people to push through the grounded toe kind of back into that.

But your ability to get, in order if you wanted to obtain, say, a narrower grip and complete the movement, what's the pelvis of the upper body to get you to have that? Because you need the pelvis to have that relative motion for a narrow stand squat.
