I see, okay.

That's pretty fast. But it's not nearly as fast as throwing a baseball or something like that. Baseball is 9,000 degrees per second. So a punch is not a throw. The difference is in velocity, but the mechanics are very, very similar.

There you go. That was a brilliant statement.

So you're going in the right direction. But what I would say is, I would still be trying to go back on the right first. And then, because what you should see when you get to a left side line, right propulsive activity is you should pick up a lot of IR on the left side. If you don't, you're still oriented.

That's why static stretching doesn't enhance power is because of the way that you're applying the yielding action does not allow the overcome to occur quick enough.

All right. Climber's elbow, Frederick. Is that what they're calling that? Is it because of the gripping?

Yeah. He's got like 90 degrees straight leg raise on both sides.

Because everybody's different.

Good. It's the first time I've had the opportunity to chat with you so it's nice to see you, and I've been like a kid in a bakery looking at your stuff online. I can't decide what I want to explore first, so it's been quite overwhelming. That was awesome. I'll get to a question. I'm processing all this stuff in my mind and I'm having difficulty understanding the stages of propulsion in the squat because my understanding is based on what I've seen, which is that we start in late, move to middle, and then at the base of the squat we're at early. Is that correct to start with?

Yeah, that's fine. Yep.

Yeah, and then I was thinking with that as far as how does the gradient then affect the positioning of the feet so with the staggered stance and then also how it correlates with the say like a the chopping angle so in in relation to the degree of the say like burblic angle of the pelvis.

It's at the end of May. Today's May 1st. Are you sure?

So the split squat is a visual representation. That's a very easy one to see. Now, the more times you see something. So this is where experience comes into play. So let's just say you've seen a hundred split squats performed. And so your brain now takes a snapshot of a split squat and then you have a representation in your head based on those 100 split squats of what is within the safe and adequate range for you. That is your model of a split squat. And you say anything that falls within this is going to be okay. Anything outside of this is probably something I need to do. Now, let's say that you've seen 10,000 split squats. You have a much more clear picture of that representation. So at 100, it's kind of pixelated. It's a little grainy. It's not very clear. And then at 10,000, you've refined it. And so now when you take that snapshot, instead of looking at different segments or different pieces, you see this one representation and you can start to see everything in its relative position to other elements of the split squat. And so now it becomes much more refined.

Theoretically you do, only to a certain point within the constraints of your every capable. But you have to look at it from that perspective. It's like, yes, I have undeveloped potentials. That's why you have to expose yourself to a number of things. And you say, you know what? I'm kind of good at this. And therefore, because I'm good at it, I kind of like it. And then I do more of that. And then I develop these things. And so you sort of find those, those things that you're really, really good at.

Exactly. So, where you got to move them all the way back. You got to move them back to early first. Okay. So you get the yielding action back in the connective tissues themselves. Otherwise you're just going to be battling stiffness. Then what you do is you move him forward through the propulsive cycle from early to middle in a reduced load manner. So this would be a front foot elevated. So I want to tip him back to unweight the lead extremity and then teach him to translate the tibia over the foot. And that's where you're gonna get the dorsiflexion back, right? Because that's probably what he's missing is he can't dorsiflex because it hurts in the front of his ankle, right?

Yeah. And it also, I have tried in the past to use like key performance indicators for range of motion. So, you know, is this person straight leg raise? you know, is it at least 50 degrees, but you know, I'll see people who have a straight leg raise that's just like terrible and they're totally pain-free and it's totally fine. So at a certain point it's like the physiological norms almost seem like a bit arbitrary when it comes down to the individual level.

No.

Gotcha. And so she was asking me yesterday and she's very open to change things up. It's okay for her to keep doing the spin. And she said, you know, she feels some tension. I suggest that she would elevate the handlebar and maybe dial down the intensity check on a heart rate because obviously the higher she goes, the more she's going to start reaching out to her neck.

Well, you need to maintain ER within a certain range. So this is you training someone and getting to know them and you say, I need to have this much of this and this much of this. So I have had the benefit of actually doing an assessment on a world record holder in the four by four. He was on the four by 14. And if you measure his hip internal rotation, based on this discussion, you'd say, oh, he probably has a lot of internal rotation. He has almost none, okay? At the hip, where they get it is it's associated with their orientation to create the force into the ground. So again, they don't have time to demonstrate a lot of internal rotation at the hip. So if they had a lot of internal rotation at the hip, they would actually be dampening the force because again they extended the time that interrotation occurs so they want very little interrotation at the hip and they use they orient the axial skeleton so it points downward that's where interrotation occurs and so again we're talking about performance here we're not talking about We're not talking about health. We're not talking about relative motion. We're talking about high levels of performance. And so again, this is why we have to look at intro meditation differently. Everybody wants to look at it as joint excursion. And I'm talking about it. It's a down force. It is forced into the ground. It's like, how do I produce that to the best of my ability? I orient as much as I can into that position. And then I limit the excursion because again, I want that timeframe to be infinitesimally small, because the longer I'm on the ground, the slower I am.

Now we're talking about some muscles too. With shoulder impingement, compression below the level of the scapula, you have the biggest muscle there, the lat. The lat attaches to the humerus and does extension and internal rotation. Is that why you said that when you have compression, or one of the reasons why you have, if you have compression there, it's going to steal early external rotation from the scapula? It's pulling it into that.

Does that mean that one side will expand more than the other as you breathe? Potentially.

Yes, you have followers from Miami all the way down to South America. I'm translating as much as I can to Spanish, but we're doing okay.

No, it's not.

That's not true though.

Okay. I can't wait. This is like the ultimate sequel. The funny thing is Keanu Reeves is so rock and roll with John Wick. He's just killing it with the John Wick movies. And then he's going to come back as Ted and it's just going to destroy people's perspective that don't remember the Bill and Ted stuff.

Okay.

Are you saying that would focus in more toward the metatarsal heads?

So, literally, I have to use the constraint of the right foot. I have to push that side forward into the constraint so it stops. That's going to turn my, it's going to basically the pelvis is on an oblique turn. So if I push that forward, push that forward, the only way that I can go forward, stay inside my base of support is to turn into the other side. That's going to drop the right heel into the ground. So remember the foot sequence that we've talked about in the past?

What if you just made it turn it into a static activity? What if you just chose a static activity that would acquire the same thing? That would you minimize the interference of the coming out of the cut portion?

OK. Yeah, I've been trying to get a better handle on that whole thing.
