Okay. I have a body shape and then I have a position relative to the surface. And you just have to describe your point of reference to make it clear.

It's up to you. This is your call. So if you feel like, again, you can just formulate a question or you could give the background. It doesn't matter to me. So whatever you need to express. OK.

So can we put this into the context of a split squat, for example? So obviously, I don't know. It depends on how you coach it and whatnot. Let's just say it's a front foot elevated split squat. You're trying to recapture some more eccentric orientation. If I have this right, is this going to be more of a yielding action?

You see it?

Yeah.

Start there, but make sure you're doing enough right side leading activities. And again, always with the sense that you're turning left with that right side lead. So when you talk about being in a deep squat with your left arm, with the cable forward, you're going to turn into that left side. You want to think about making space on that left posterior aspect because then you know that you're pushing back and making the turn that you need.

I was doing some pogo hops and noticed that the sensation that felt best was like feeling the top side of my ankle, I suppose that's my tibia coming forward just like compressing and the medial heel. And then I started doing hops like this. And I was like, 'Oh, that was great.' So I think you're right on the money of getting the right [representation].

You may want to do some drills in the water.

Initially it would have to be the first met head and the inside heel, but then as you start going, the left heel should start getting heavier as the right side goes forward.

Right.

Have you ever done that yourself? Yeah, it sucks. Yeah, I just was going to bring that up. That's a horrible, miserable, torturous exercise to do to people.

I'm trying to keep this on the QT. I don't want to mention it in public because it's just gets into the wrong hands. Who knows what would happen. Good morning. Happy Monday. I have no coffee in hand and it is perfect. All right, man. Coming off a huge weekend, the intensive 20 was over the weekend, so a little bit in recovery mode today to be honest with you. It's a lot of output. Some big brains in the purple room over the weekend, had a blast. So, uh, thank you to all of those who attended. You guys were great, had a great time. Quick housekeeping item: IFAS University members, we have a call today at 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. If you're not at IFAS University, go to ifasuniversity.com. Get yourself signed up, please join us for that call at 1 p.m. All right, to get into today's Q&A: this is with Jake. Jake's working with some athletes with anterior orientation of the pelvis, and so we're trying to distinguish between what our expected outcomes would be for a narrow ISA individual and a wide ISA individual. Quick note in regards to what we're referring to as an orientation. Typically what we would have is relative motion between the sacrum and the ilium. In what we have within the anti-orientation, we have everything moving together as a unit. That's why we refer to this as an orientation because it's very positional, but in this case, when we have an orientation, we don't have access to relative motions. So we need to move people into spaces where they have access to those relative motions, and that's primarily what this discussion is about because we can't approach it the exact same way nor can we expect the same outcomes. So thank you Jake for asking such a great question. Try to hang in there to the end of the video. There's a little comment in regards to a little bit of phrasing that you'll hear throughout the industry jargon that you want to try to avoid at all costs. So once again, thanks Jake. Everybody have an outstanding Monday and I'll see you tomorrow.

It's kind of like, uh, what's the evolution of man kind of a thing, you know, where he's kind of like Cro Magnon at the very beginning of it. And then by the time we get done, he's, there we go.

If they can tweak it properly and pressurize the public outlet well, then they'll kind of go up.

Yep.

Hang on, probably not tendonitis at this point, huh?

A bunny is a term. It's a twist and a forced position without relative motion. It's not a normal representation. It's a twist and a bend into, when I say bend, I'm not talking about a joint bend. I'm talking about connective tissue bend. It's an undesired adaptation.

No, you don't.

Potentially, essentially. The idea here is that we're trying to create rotation in the forearm, specifically the internal rotation, because the proximal aspect of the radius tends to get externally rotated. So I don't want to reinforce something too soon in regards to the external rotation of the proximal radius. That takes your supinated activities away, at least at the beginning. You have to capture the internal rotation first. That's why we talk about low oblique sits being really good for this, because they create the internal rotation representation at the proximal elbow. Do you see it?

So an idea of mine was to lay him on his side. He did say he's uncomfortable in that position. Can you modify that?

You get it? Did Peter write that one down? Peter, that was gold. I just gave you. I just gave you. Like I fed you.

Maybe to summarize, the thing that you've got to be careful of when you're doing something that is emphasizing a lot of the knee bend, it's like you don't want to create interference for certain segments of the performance-related activities. So you've got to make sure that you've got a knee that can change direction. You don't want to bias it in one direction. So again, the prone knee bending activities will predispose you to more tibial femoral ER. And that's where you got to be careful because you'll get a lot of people that end up with knee pain in their squatting. And that's your fault. If you program too much of that and you create that scenario. Okay. Living life can do it to them. Just FYI, it's not always your fault per se. It's just that something you need to be aware of that if you program something that they're already starting to do, you're just making it worse. So just be careful.

Okay. Take a look at the orientation and standing and see if you need to capture a late ER representation at the hip and then go back. I'm talking about a focal ER representation at the hip. Before doing it, you may need to make a change in the shape of the femur before you go after early representation.

Yes. So think about your right foot contact and where the load is relative to the right foot and where I have to go to get the load and then how do I initiate it? Would I lighten up the right foot? Yes. Now think about the endpoint of that. So let's just say that I'm aiming for the medial aspect of the right heel. And I get to the endpoint. Is that the same as the initial position? No, it's not. Do you see the difference in the two positions? Now what you have to recognize then is there's a difference in motor activity here. As I initiate, and if I am unweighting, I'm up, I'm light, my center of gravity will go up relative because I am now part of the entire cable system. Like I made the system one thing. And then as I get closer and closer to the heel, what is happening to movement?

Yeah.

So if I'm trying to create a proximal shape change in the femur, I need to put you in a position that has less relative motion available, which would be the prone representation of external rotation. Because what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to change the shape of the proximal femur from an internal rotation representation to an external rotation representation. So I put you in prone where there's less motion.

That's true. Okay. Got it. Thank you, Bill.

Those are great. Trust me, dude. Trust me. It's like, yeah, I throw internal parties on a regular basis when I get on a roll and then the rest of the time I'm just miserable and sad.

Okay, think about this. In an IR pelvis, I don't want any rotation. Do I want rotation in an IR representation into the ground through a knee? Do I want rotation?

Exactly. Okay. Got it. That clears up a few things. Thank you. Thank you, Bill.
