Yes.

Well, it needs to be specific, number one. So I have many contributors to endurance. I have many contributors to force production, right? So there are certain elements that need to be in place for the highest possible force. So some, like if we looked at fighters across the board, there are some fighters that were born to be fighters and they already have the capacity to produce a lot of force in a very short period of time. So that's a power related capability. And there are some people that are low force producers and so for those people the strategy that we would have to use is number one let's increase their ability to produce force so we have to take them into the weight room teach them how to produce force if we can teach them how to compress that force into a shorter period of time now we have increased someone's punching power. Which is force times distance per unit time. Right. And so, so again, some people need higher force production in the weight room. Some people don't. Again, this is us getting to know the athlete in question as to what their needs might be. Are they low force producers? Let's put them in the weight room. Make sure we don't slow them down. We don't want to extend the IR moment. We just want to produce the maximum force in the shortest IR moment possible. And that's where we get a much more powerful or you'll see a higher velocity punch. Then once you can do that, now I need to do it over and over and over and over again. So you can construct elements of this in the training hall in the weight room. And then you have to apply this in the specific realm where this is where they're doing rounds. This is where they're doing skill work for repetition, for enduring, to allow them to repeat it. So the way that we talk about sort of constructing the athlete is like, do they have the ability, number one, to absorb force first? Can they produce force second? Can they produce force quickly? And can they produce force quickly again and again and again? So that is the superimposition of endurance on top of all of those capabilities. So if I just worked on endurance on a low force producer, that just means that they can produce low force over and over and over again. It doesn't mean they're going to be a great fighter. If I need to increase the force production, maybe I don't spend a lot of time in the endurance phase. And now I'm working on high force production first before I teach them to do it over and over and over again. You see how you build it? Yes. What we just did is we constructed a program.

Well, so the top of the pelvis is going to, from a relative position standpoint, the top of the pelvis would be more posterior than the bottom part of the pelvis under that circumstance, right? Okay. And so where would you see this represented in a really easy way to visualize it? Do you know?

Okay, so basically what you're doing is you're creating a state of connective tissue behavior that is either similar to something that somebody might have to do as an athlete or I'm trying to get the tissue to behave in a certain way. So let's just say that I have somebody that is very, very stiff, and I wanna make them less stiff. So do I want them to bounce across the ground very quickly? Okay, so you're catching on already, you understand. It's like you're not releasing all the energy. So I'm not getting this full excursion of connective tissues. So therefore they're kind of staying in this small range of excursion that may not buy me the yielding action that I would want if I'm trying to translate somebody from a very, very stiff, like take a power lifter and try to make him into a basketball player. It won't work, but point being, you understand what I'm getting at. So what we want to do when we're thinking about variability is like, okay, what is this person going to need to be exposed to? In their sport, do I have a variable representation of different connective tissue behaviors? So I need to recognize that. And then the activities that I choose in preparing them for their sport should probably include that type of a behavior. So if they need variability, do you ever see the, there's a great, I can't think of his name now. He's a shop putter. And he's doing like a whole bunch of explosive stuff. And he does like Werner Gunther. Say it again. Werner Gunther. Yes. There you go. Thank you. He's doing a whole bunch of different. He does a jump sequence that is just ridiculous. Like he should have gotten a gold medal for just doing the jump sequence because it was so cool to see. He does like Barbell side split squats. And then he does a series of like hurdle jumps and then he just keeps going and he jumps up a whole bunch of bleachers. It's just really cool to watch a gigantic human being do this. He's like a really big dude. But that is a variable representation where like the heights are different, the demands are different. So if I jump up on a box, I don't have the full yielding action of the connective tissues. And so I keep going up and up and up. So there's a different degree of stiffness than if I'm jumping over a high hurdle, jumping over a high hurdle, because the amount of time that for the tissues to release is different. So again, that's looking at it from a performance aspect. It's like, okay, I want to influence this connective tissue so it behaves appropriately during performance. On the other end of the spectrum, if I have somebody that has a movement-based problem, like in my world in the purple room, I can use the variability to create the degree of stiffness or the degree of yielding action that they may need in a dynamic sense. So once we get to the point where they can have some element of control, now I take them out into the gym. Okay and now I can pay attention to rate. So if I need somebody that behaves a little bit stiffer, I might use some sort of preloading of the connective tissues, right? So that they yield and as they start to release, they're becoming stiffer and then I hit it again, right? And so now they have a normal representation of the energy storage and release of connective tissues that will protect them. Okay, does that make sense?

Well, they're there. That's what's driving the show, right? That's why all those strategies exist in the first place is to control the forces.

So ultimately it depends on the goal of somebody's coming in.

Yeah.

Okay. And then the reverse would be true for the narrow external angle.

Yeah. So that's, um, so I remember the last, I've asked, uh, you Colvin, um, yeah, if you're talking about twists and the bones, um, and yeah, meant like mentioned, I was with George and you mentioned, um, just like damping forces. Yep. So that's kind of what they're trying to do.

Where do you want the humerus to be to create an ER (external rotation) position on the side of the body? Where do they teach this? When they teach it correctly, what do they say? Do they say to pin your humerus to your rib cage? What do they say?

Happy Thursday. I have neuro coffee in hand and it is perfect. Good morning, everyone. Grace.

You might have superpowers that we don't know about, but I'll do it.

If I'm in middle propulsive, is my center of mass over the foot?

Yeah.

Okay, I understand your point. So you're saying the thorax is anteriorly oriented, but it's not tipped forwards.

Yeah.

Hang on. You're my last call this morning. Oh. You want to go longer?

Yeah.

Okay. So there's no such thing as a good position, right? What we're trying to do is we're trying to recapture adaptability. So we're trying to recapture the ability to change. We're not trying to, we're not seeking out a singular anything. It is virtually impossible. Okay. Even if it was possible, there is absolutely no way to measure it. It's like, it's like when we talk about the, I'm going to throw up a little bit in my mouth, the neutral spine. It's like, what a croc. You can't tell. You have no idea where the spine is. Right? You can't tell. So what we're looking for is adaptability. We're looking for changeability, the ability to move through space. And so if you chase something like that, go up. I think I can show you two pictures of the same person where they have one leg this early and one leg this late. I might be able to do this. Oh, one second. Have a good day. So let me show you one second ago. So can everybody see the leg? Give me a thumbs up. Okay. So Manuel, if you're looking at this. Where do you think this, so this is a, this is a sprinter. This is a hurdler. She's a, she's a really good hurdler, but she's like five foot nothing, a hundred nothing. And, but anyway, where do you think she is in this left limb? Do you think she's early or late? Can you see it?

And then my final question is: when I go into that deep squat left arm hold, I was playing with it and I was also at some point concentrically as I came up, bringing up a kettlebell with my right side. Is that overdoing it?

Well, I'm betting cash money that it's not that. Okay. Here's what I think. I think that your ground contact is prolonged. Okay. You're probably catching the initial position quite well if you're feeling successful at lower force outputs. Okay. As you're applying force into the ground, you're not capturing the proximal internal rotation deposition. That will allow you to push down in a more internal rotation representation. So this is going to be more drills, progressively, in the internal rotation representation pushing into the ground through a single leg. Okay. You need a better transition than going from a static activity that's approximating you close to internal rotation to actually producing the force in internal rotation. Okay. You have to learn how to shorten the ground contact time in the internal rotation representation.

No.

Awesome, okay. So staggered stance in inside of available space, which if you're at this point in the process, you're probably okay. You've probably got a pretty decent amount of space to play with. Yeah, so you're just going to go right foot forward stagger. Okay. All right. And then how do I make a turn from right to left? Like what has to happen?

What I would do is make sure that I have the ability to acquire the shape change in the foot that they would be utilizing in a change of direction. Right. Okay. Cause at what point do you think that you're actually acquiring the extreme position that you're describing with a ramp in a change of direction? Like if I go straight into a cut and straight out of a cut, like on a straight line. At what point would you acquire the foot shape that you're describing using a ramp to go sideways? Uh-oh. I stumped the new grad.

Yeah.

Yeah. I would agree that you probably got to yard the tibia because when you make an isolated adjustment at the knee, you can alleviate the symptom. Are you solving the problem? Are you solving the problem?

Got it.

Yeah.

Thank you. Go for it. OK.

I don't know. I might, but okay.
