Cool. Thank you. I'm going to take 30 seconds to show you how universal this principle is. OK. Music. OK. That's my thing. I sing. And I wrote a song. And I can't play the music that underlies the song, but I can sing the melody. I gave the melody to my friend, who is an amazing musician. And he said, 'Oh, I got it.' He just heard the song and knew what to play underneath it. And I said, 'How did you know?' He said, 'There's only so many options that are available.' And he said, 'You just know what to play because I can't play outside of these options, right? Or it doesn't fit.' Same thing. You only have so many options available. And so you're going to use those options in combination with the context of the activity. It's the same. This is a universal principle. As long as you understand the constraints, there are only so many options available. You do not have unlimited constraints. The archetypes represent constraints. There's only so many behaviors that each archetype has available to them. They only have so many strategies available to them. That's the value. That's the value. Because if you see everybody as the same, or you don't see the similarities, then you get lost because you think that everybody's different to a certain degree. There's no question about that. Like we get this broad range, but if we can categorize them, then that becomes helpful because then we understand what the constraints mean and then we understand what the limited options are. And then that guides us in process. You'll still be wrong, but you'll be right more often. That's the goal, right? Okay. Do you have a light bulb moment there, Cameron?

Because again, their middle representation is a bigger space of time.

Yep.

And this would be a scenario where they actually don't have hip internal rotation available, right?

Okay. What's the largest coin that you have in your pocket, so to speak?

Yeah, so you prop up their booty a little bit, and that drops the knee down to the surface, allowing them to start applying some internal rotation (IR) into the ground in that external rotation (ER) position. So even in people with this extreme ER representation, you can manipulate the activity to actually capture some IR, if it's available. Does that make sense?

Okay. And then turn towards that side, which would put a late on the right and an early on the left, which means that I'm driving IR from the top down on the right, bottom up on the left.

Nor should it be under the circumstance because it would become interference at some point. Like if you want to squat heavy, you better not be able to move very much because all of that extraneous movement contributes to energy output that I have to control. So as I lose movement, as I lift heavy things, I actually become more efficient in the lift because I can produce more force per unit of movement because I don't have to control so much. Now when the goal changes, because it's later on, you realize that, okay, even superheroes need to back off after a while, and you want to reacquire stuff. What's going to be the time investment to change the structural constraints that you can change to get them to do the things that you want to do? Obviously, you're influencing the fast-changing stuff effectively based on your description, which is good. But to change a structural constraint, now you got to start thinking like, oh, what's your time investment? What's the longest workout? Like when you were at your best as a powerlifter, what's the longest workout you did?

Okay. Now where you have space to move. Okay. And where you have less weight is where you're going to end up going.

Okay, yeah, so that makes sense to me for that movement. I was coming into it thinking more of like, say, a squat or a deadlift in the way the dale uses it, but it saves you from the jerk.

All right.

If I'm trying to create the turn?

Because the right hip is ahead of the left and you're trying to capture internal rotation on the left side—the left forearm and wrist.

Right. Okay. All right. Thank you, Bill. Yeah, it makes sense. I'm going to do that.

Yep.

In regards to their center of gravity, that means that they are pushed forward on that right side.

So do you see the same thing that I know? You don't. You see something that simple. It's like your perspective, your true visual perspective is different from mine, even though we're looking at the same thing. Therefore our appreciation of what it is is going to be different. And then take all of your persona, like every element of your persona being totally different from mine. Now combine everything and say, oh, do you think you can get the same outcome? It doesn't mean you won't be successful in your outcome, just means that, and we can actually end up in the same place, but we're going to have two different paths to get there, right? And that's what's uncomfortable for people. Because again, they, okay, is it your goal? And I don't think this is the case. That's why I'm going to say this. Is it your goal to be mediocre in what you're doing? No. Okay. So if you're going to follow a path that someone has already taken, how do you stand out? I guess you have to do it differently. So, okay, so there's a line of people and they're all walking on a path. All right. And the guy that's leading, okay. And so they're creating the path. So the guy that's leading is the one that has to literally move all the stuff out of the way and cut the brush away and pat the ground down for the next guy. Who's special there? The guy that's leading because he's doing all the work. He's saying, this is the way that we're gonna go. Everybody goes, okay, I'll just follow you, right? And so like, you know, if you're fifth or sixth in line, it's like you're not doing anything. You're not adding value, right? You see what I'm getting at? Yes. Yeah. It's like stories are great. They can inspire people to do great things. They really can. But you can't use that as a map because your map is different from mine.

No specific problem. Let's just hope for a discussion and some information.

It's both feet.

It's not about that. It's not about that. Do what you just did.

OK. Yeah. So now you have to understand the premise of where ER and IR really are. OK? So one is up and one is down. ER is up and IR is down.

So if I tilt my glenoid upward, right, the humerus has to turn with it, right? And then the bar's pulling down and I'm pulling up. I got to have a little bit of bend in the elbow, right? Because if my arm was straight, it would pull my scapula down, no second pull. You see it?

And again, the fact that you're cleaning all this stuff up, you're on the right track. You're on the right track. But think about the destruction that's associated with the femur fracture number one. I mean, that's a toughie. I had a jumper 18 years ago that fractured her femur. She was actually on track to go to the Olympics. She was a long jumper, and she fractured her femur and then that ended her career but point being it's like it's a nasty injury. People don't appreciate the fact of how difficult this is but now think about the interplay at the knee where you have all this musculature that's trying to twist the femur and they put a rod in the femur. So you have an alteration of the normal behavior of the bone itself you have true deficits in muscle force producing capability that you have to address. So that's going to influence her ability to produce IR. So this is like a little bit of a fitness problem, not just pure mechanics now. You're going to have to produce some muscle mass so you have the force producing capabilities because she's substituting for that to a degree. I don't know how much of that would be that influence. But like I said, you're on track with your mechanics. You're doing exactly what you need to do for the mechanics. So I'm not worried about that. Just make sure that you're covering all bases. Like you might need a little bit of muscle mass here.

Yeah, but with both cases, you would need to increase space in the pelvis to do the movement without the compensation.

And then at the point of max P, everything is the same. Fair? It looks like this until it looks like that. So ERIR happening at the same time. So here's the step. Ready? So here's the step. My foot lands, everything starts to get super imposed. And then I hit max P and then they don't move. And then they go back the other way. It's like a collision of ERs and IRs that slam together because at the point of max P, I need the least amount of movement possible. So I have to squeeze. So everything does this. It interdigitates, it squeezes, and then it releases and expands in the other direction. OK. OK. So not quite what I was saying. I understand your representation. The thing you have to understand is that there's certain areas that need to have a much stronger representation of yielding because that's the greater area where I can store and release energy. So where would we look? Well, we start to look at like an Achilles tendon or we start to look at like a Patellar tendon. It's like those are designed for energy storage and release to a greater degree than some of the broader, flatter, shorter, connective tissues. It's not that they don't yield and distribute the force, but think about where they start to distribute the force. The shorter ones, the flatter ones are the ones that are translating this force into stiffer structures. Patellar tendon. Big rubber band Achilles tendon big rubber band the glute max attachment to the ilium tendons really small really broad, why would it do that because it's got to distribute the force into the pelvis. Okay. Which is also expanding and compressing, right? How do you, how do I get this, this big hunk of bone to bend and twist? Well, if I put a little teeny tendon on it, I'll get one little spot that'll, that'll constantly get pulled on ASIS. And it looks like an ASIS. If I, if I attach a bunch of stuff there that pulls on that one spot, it gets pointy, right? But if I'm trying to create this distributed wave of energy that's got to go through this, I need a very broad, small attachment to distribute that into that structure. You see how this interplay is working? It's like some of the stuff is going to lock together, hold a position so nothing moves, so that all the movement goes into the big rubber bands where I store and release more energy. But see, that's why we have problems too. That's why you get patellar tendon pain or you get an Achilles pain. because I'm not distributing the stresses the way I normally should. I'm asking them to do perhaps multiple jobs. Or I'm saying, yeah, I can't create the compression at max P anymore because the position is not allowing that to happen.

All right.

Yes. OK. So like I said, your thought process is totally correct. But don't think that you're screwing people up. They're just giving you information as to how hard an activity is, which helps you make decisions in the gym.

What does that mean in regards to, when you say clean it up, is the intention is it, we're preparing them for force production, we're primarily focused on restoring relative motion because you're gonna have a reduction of relative motions if the intention is to increase force production, right? And so under that circumstance, you might've been doing something that's very useful in regards to restoring relative motions, maybe not.

Oh, at his ankle. Sorry. Like he, I've tried my CI has me like stretch him passively and we get him to 90, but like, I'm just going with, yeah. So I'm trying to capture some relative motion, get some pronation. But I'm at a, trying to work with my CI, that's a whole different thing, but I'm trying to capture these positions at the ankle. But I'm at this wall where like I physically can't get him past 90. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm sure there is. Sub-scap.
