The, oh, okay.

Yeah.

You said it out loud.

Yeah. Well, I also feel like you can still achieve anterior pelvic tilt, but it's not as over the top if she's sitting back into all of this.

Sure. Yeah, you can. They have early, middle, late, just like everybody else does right? It's just a little bit different space. What's up? Um. You will find much easier with an arrow for sure. Yeah, right.

On the left leg, right? More?

Okay. So you've got an upright symptom and you've got a torturous, miserable, horrible, you know, like, it probably came out of like World War II. They came up with that one. So, all right. But you, but both have resolved, correct?

Yeah.

Yeah. Okay.

All right. That's cool.

Okay.

Like, look at your thumb. Try to open it up. See how hard that is? You had to move your hand. You had to open up your fingers. You literally had to open up your fingers to move your thumb into the position. Did you see it?

So if I'm comparing like, let's go left foot back, Romanian deadlift, and then like a left foot forward, right foot on the wall, single leg, RDL type deal.

So he's just trying to fight gravity. Gravity is crushing him, right? And so he's pushing up, but he's got to get into a position where he can capture some internal rotation. He doesn't have internal rotation straight down into the ground, otherwise he would stand upright. So make sure you're putting him in a position that accommodates his limitation first and then consider the muscle activity that is holding him in that position. Manually reduce that, instead of trying to push him into a position—it's not pleasant. If he's feeling hard stretches under any circumstance, that's just connective tissue that he's feeling, which means he's got muscle activity that's holding that connective tissue in a stiffer position. So if you have a limitation in traditional hip extension—that's IR—and you've got muscles that are holding that orientation of the pelvis to prevent access to that space. So again, you have to reduce that. If you can get him into a sidelying position, you can work on one hip at a time. Gravity is still working for you in regards to the pelvis position. So there's a lot of stuff you can do. And I can't give you the answer—the idea that you want to understand here is that you've got a physical shape that is the influence. Everything that you do is to chase the opposing shape.

Regarding the force plate question, interpretation of data. So I have a female basketball player that I'm working with coming back from an ACL. She's about seven months out at this point. I got her a few weeks ago when she came back to school. So I'm not really doing any plyometric stuff with her yet. I'm sure there's a lot of other stuff, but she is not ready for it.

Yeah.

Stop right there.

That was a better way of saying it.

So, okay. As soon as we get the arm essentially behind the line of the body, it all turns into orientation from that point forward.

Oh, are you talking about like do the, this, the distal and then right?

Yeah. So it's kind of like this. It's like, I'm pulling like, if you connect my, put a string between my, my, my fingers. Hi, Lewis. So it's going to pull open like that. Right. So that's the shape that you're looking at. And so to reverse the gears, you've got to go like, does that make sense?

One application I was thinking about was overhead pressing. And I know we've talked about narrow stances orienting from the top down and wide stances from the bottom up. So one of the things I've noticed as I've been going through some footage and videos that I've taken is that I noticed that when narrow-stanced individuals are pressing a heavy weight overhead, they'll tend to see a bend in the lower ribs—like at T11-T12. And you'll see the rib flare, and then pushing out, forward as they try to press. Sometimes they can keep the lower body level. Sometimes they'll anteriorly tilt the pelvis. Whereas what I've noticed in the wide-stanced individuals is they'll bend more at the hips—they'll anteriorly tilt the pelvis and they still arch, but I don't see that bend at T11-T12 as much. I see more of a leaning back kind of posture. Right. Yeah. And I was wondering if that's accurate, because they're both trying to do the same thing with their shoulders in terms of pushing the weight overhead.

It would magnify the ERs if the spine turns.

Right. Okay. So then, if I were to, you know, so if I were to dealing say with a narrow ISA, since their compression happens from the top down, then Asian from the top down. Okay.

One of the issues I have with it is that it seems like the right arm and right leg are stepping in a manner that you would not use when you actually crawl. So maybe this is just a misconception about how that movement pattern works.

Yeah.

The top foot stays on the other leg. Okay, got it. Yeah. Okay, thanks.

Yes.

Yes. You got it.

Right. Okay. So when we start thinking about middle propulsion where we're assuming that we have the necessary joint range of motion and ER space, middle propulsion is like now let's start actually pushing into the ground and then evolving that in the appropriate direction.
