I'm just trying to figure out why she can get away with it on the other side, but not on this side in terms of having.

And then it's like, so hang on, hang on. Like expecting a wide ISA individual to sit down into the bottom of a deep squat without some form of compensatory activity is a rarity. And so, again, because that is the earliest representation of that pelvic orientation. It's not that they won't be able to deep squat. It's just like, well, how are they doing it? So you see them, like they'll move their feet apart. They'll externally rotate to produce the internal rotation kind of a thing. And so the representation is a deep squat, but again, the orientation is a little bit different. And so you just have to respect the degree of structure that they're always going to be kind of biased towards that middle representation. Their external rotation ranges will be a little bit smaller. Their internal rotation range will be a little bit bigger. And so when we talk about like slowing them down kind of a thing, it's like, yeah, we're going to try to capture that early representation, but it's not going to look like like don't expect like a 70-30 external rotation to internal rotation ratio, you know, on a wide ISA guy.

They'll get the knees that come in and then somebody will blame like the quads or the back.

Okay. And it also causes a little bit of a problem up above here about right there at the knee. Right?

Well, which way did it go? That's what I'm saying, right? You know how we talk about the difference between the orientation process and a wide versus an arrow? What's the difference?

Okay. So for that to happen without a compensation, there has to be a movement that takes place in the rear foot.

radial deviation.

See it?

Okay.

Okay, and one of the things I think I have a little bit of confusion with is, we'll call it the size of the diaphragm because for a narrow, smaller diaphragm, per given unit pressure, there should be less of a quick increase in the rate of force with a smaller surface area. Per given unit pressure, like pushing on the diaphragm, there will be less of a quick increase in the rate of force or less magnitude, because there's just less surface area. Comparing that to a wide, with just a greater surface area of the diaphragm, that seems to me like just the force overall in the system might be a greater magnitude to deal with for the pelvic floor, just due to the pressurization. I mean, I understand that it's pushing back up. Is that strictly why it has less of an issue dealing with that greater magnitude? As opposed to the narrow, which the eccentric orientation allows it to fall?

You gotta be careful with the word 'better', right? There's more tibial femoral IR associated with it. The question is, do you have enough of a relationship to produce the tibial femoral IR in the other activities like your squat, your split squat, et cetera, right? It's like, yeah, you can turn the tibia inward in the seated hamstring curl, but there's no guarantee that that's what you'll use when your foot's on the ground. You always want to make sure that you're following that with stuff where your foot is on the ground and you're producing the tibial femoral IR.

Okay.

Have you ever heard me say that the setup is as important as the execution of the exercise? Yes, of course you have, right? So if we were talking about a cross connect, we're going to have the same conversation.

Again, once you descend past where you have access to internal rotation, you have to move out into an external rotation deficit space. So if you see somebody descending into a dip and they say, 'I need to use full range of motion,' it's like, 'Well, okay, full range of motion of what?' Right? So then you start to see the elbows deviate away from midline. You see the anti-orientation of the thorax as they descend into the dip.

Intentionally understanding where the interference is to promote the effective change.

Yeah, I understand. My question is, so the normal wide ISA bias is the ER position, but then you get the compression which is going to push it forward. So is it enough to curl the ISA down and in or do I need to exert a posteriorly driven force?

Don't negate it just because it's incoherent. But yeah, make sure you can. You speak multiple languages, right? Yeah, man?

And that's where you go. That's where you go towards screw home.

Yeah, I see that.

You know. And again, this is why the understanding of the sequence events of how these things occur becomes so important to us because the how matters. Because every time you see something, it's not one thing, right? We have multiple influences, right? We've got an axial position, we've got an orientation and we've got the AP superficial muscle activity that's in play here that's all creating this. Do I have any other adaptive influences? For instance, it's like, do you have a rear foot that has an adaptation and that is not going to allow that anterior orientation to resolve? Now I need to start thinking about, okay, what do I have to do to this rear foot so I don't anteriorly orient? There's not a band around the knee that's going to fix that. because that's gonna be a ground up representation that I need to affect, right?

The posterior lateral aspect of the knee.

I had to go back for more.

Well, you're going to, again, you're starting to tip outside of your base.

Maybe, I guess we'll find out.

Okay, do I need to acquire the position of interrotation or do I need to produce the force from that position?

Well, you're turning if you got a mixed grip, my friend. So you got to do that. Bad news. You can't not. Okay.

I have a hand and wrist question. Okay. So my understanding of the use of the pistol test is we're looking at the ability to externally rotate the wrist or then hand relative to the wrist.

Well, it's not that it's incorrect. It's just that if we broadly say posterior expansion, because we talk about the fact that everybody needs to expand into their posterior all the time, you know. But if you say 'I need to push your expansion behind the right ear,' is that helpful? Actually, it is under the circumstances. But my point is that you want to clarify this, because think about the starting conditions of a wide ISA versus a narrow ISA pelvis. They're not the same. So when we say posterior expansion on a narrow pelvis, are we talking about the same expansion strategy on a narrow as on a wide? Well, no, because the starting conditions were different. So when you say 'I need posterior expansion,' where do you want to get it?

All right.
