Yeah, you have to be really careful. You have to be really careful when you bring up stuff from like two years ago or last week because I'm really old now and my memory is not very good.

All right. Four guys step away from the car. Six guys are now trying to hold the Jeep up, but they're failing. They're still pushing up. The Jeep is slowly going down towards the ground. The four guys jump back in. Everybody lifts the car up. Four more guys jump out, still six guys trying to hold the car up, failing miserably, but it's going down slowly because they're still pushing up. You get it? So that's what lifting weights is. I have to increase the number of motor units to lift a weight because I have to go in that direction against gravity and move away from the ground. As I lower a weight, I need to actively control the velocity of the weight. I need just enough motor units to allow me to move in the other direction downward, but the other one's got to stop. Because if I maximize the number of motor units, I can stop that weight from moving; it wouldn't move. This is the fault with the terminology. Do you understand now why I say concentric orientation, eccentric orientation? Because eccentric means away from midline. That's the definition. It means away from midline. Contraction means to make smaller. Eccentric contraction doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. But if you tell me that a muscle is positioned eccentrically, I know what it's doing. If you tell me that a muscle is positioned concentrically, I know what it's doing. Do you see the difference?

In the pelvis, yeah.

You got to keep him in a small space.

Yeah, I guess that's your knee at that point that hurt somewhere.

Okay. Yes, that is correct. His knee is moving immediately when he's hitting.

Will be.

Okay.

Awesome. All right, Ben, I appreciate you. Hey, yeah, I understand. We already had the running gag of what you got in hand, right? Yeah. All right, man. All right. Great day. Thank you, Bill. You too. All right, see you. Since starting to come on these calls, just like being able to pick and choose like these like traditional exercise that I was just throwing at someone randomly. Like now she's having like a reason for them. Has been really helpful.

I don't think so. Maybe, but I'm not sure. I've watched dozens of videos, so three three and three impingements of the shoulder.

Because you've now moved into more of an IR space at 90. But you're externally rotating. How are you closing?

Okay.

It's just a matter of identifying what the potential representations are. So from a treatment standpoint, it doesn't really change anything as to how you're going to initiate it, but it does give you the comparison.

internal rotation?

Yes.

Sure.

I mean, sometimes I sprint randomly, but it's not structured.

So how do I get from the eccentric yield to a concentric yield by late propulsion? Because the public floor still has to shorten to do that.

Did you say gradation?

Wait a second. Hang on. So this moment has been recorded. So here's what I want to throw out here. You guys have probably noticed that Manuel's kind of like this stoic dude, right? He loves what he does. He's very serious about what he does, and he takes it very seriously. He just made a joke, and he smiled on video. And I now have two representations that he is capable of smiling and laughing and telling jokes. So this is awesome for me. I love this because you're usually so intense and you're serious, and I just love it when you sort of break character. That's awesome. Thank you for that.

There are two extremes. You have one that's biased towards expansion and one that's biased towards compression because those are the only two strategies that exist. The wide ISA archetype is someone that is biased towards a compressive strategy by structure. The narrow ISA archetype is someone that is biased towards an inhalation biased strategy because of their physical structure. Because the goal is to maintain position against gravity, right? So there's only two ways I can do it. I can squeeze myself and compress it to make myself rigid. So anything that tries to push me down, I push back against because I'm rigid or I'm the wacky wavy tube guy and I fill up with air and that holds me up. So the structure determines the strategy because that's the constraint. It tells me what you're capable of. Right. And so you'll just be biased in that direction. Doesn't mean you can't do both. It just means that they're not as good at it as other people. And again, I have to speak from my experience because I see the extremes. I get to see them. I don't see average people. Average people don't have problems because they don't do things. They're not good at anything. They're kind of okay at a lot of stuff. And I will tell my average story. So they live average lives. They marry an average spouse. They have two average kids. They live in an average neighborhood. They have an average house. They live to be 78 to 82 years old. They live an average life and they're very, very happy that way, but they never get hurt. They don't perform well because they're just average.

Yeah. Just to decrease that initial inertia for her.

Yeah. But I think from a transitioning standpoint, if she has access to water, you might be able to accelerate the process. Because again, she'll be able to start pushing up vertically but in a gravity-reduced scenario.

Go for it.

You see it? It's like neither. So here's what's happening. This would be standing on flat ground. And then you're going to go like that with this one. Can you appreciate the fact that if I level it, they're both going to be towards a measure of ER? Yes, I have to move away from midline to acquire the position. I have to do that. So when you push on the wall and you're doing propulsion against the wall and you capture the medial foot contacts, this is the position that you're talking about.

Just an inability to capture the proximal IR without an orientation on it, I thought.

I know exactly what I meant, Jake. So when you're tipping them up or back, you're actually turning them into spaces that are a little bit more available to them.

Yeah. But it's one of the easiest things to do. So here's your foot. This is a right foot, right? If this is a right foot, you take your left hand and you put it like right there. See that?

Because you know why? Because if I remove that joint, you know what's going to happen? You're going to move very, very quickly over your foot. But you're not going to go through internal rotation until you get to a joint that can internally rotate.

Okay. And then if, so like, if, so like to speak another language when I'm talking with like others in terms of like orientation at the elbow, if I'm doing like manual work and I'm thinking like, oh, I'm trying to capture for us like ER at that elbow.
