Okay. So, it's not just your knee, you understand that?

Right as he's transitioning out of the load in the back and starting to come forward, that knee is going earlier than desired.

Okay. Ladies like to dance. Okay. If you want to practice weight shifting, find out what their favorite music is and dance. That way you don't have to do boring, stupid stuff, right? And they get their weight shifts in. Guys think like Tai Chi. Okay. All of this is, it's slow. It's methodical. It's rhythmic. It's weight shifts, et cetera. Right? So you do their little warmup. You do the warmup on the mat table. They do the rolling. They do some reaching. They do some, some shifty shift stuff. Right? You can do some sit to stand work. So you got your box squats, right? And then you do your lunge patterns, but the lunge patterns are dance or they're Tai Chi. Get it?

All right, man. Good to see you. Yeah.

Yeah.

Okay, so chances are, she may have all of them.

Hang on. OK. So you have moved the shoulder away from midline. You've got some upward rotation. So you're not getting full dorsal rostral expansion, but you are getting part of it. Okay, so remember that if you looked at the structure, if you look at the structure there, you've got oblique angled muscle fiber, you've got horizontal angled muscle fiber, and so you're going to affect them differently because they pull in different directions, right? And so you're actually going to create the oblique orientation of the scapula under those circumstances. So the ER down by your side and the ER up here are affecting the SCAP orientation in two different ways. Do you see the difference?

Right? Same strategy we'd use to put weight on the bar. It's just that her bar needs to be so light that it takes weight away from her. She's a cable chopper, right?

Gotcha. Thank you.

Absolutely. So it's that simple, right? So if I have a band that's trying to pull my knee out and I'm slowly descending into my split squat, I'm actually enhancing my efforts to capture more internal rotation in the bottom of that split squat, because that's where it's going to show up the most anyway. So I'm at the top of a split squat, and I'm in this ER representation with the sacrum facing away from me. As I descend into the split squat, what I should see at the bottom is a representation of internal rotation in the pelvis, right? Cool. Now, so you notice that my pelvis is facing the right as I'm leading into this split squat, right? So as I descend, the pelvis is going to face the front, and I'm going to capture this internal rotation position. So the musculature that is pulling against the band is the musculature that turns my pelvis towards the lead foot. So I'm actually enhancing my ability to capture internal rotation if I use a band in that way. Let me make a comparison for you that I've talked about in the past that will also provide you sort of like a light bulb moment, one second. I'm talking a lot this morning. Okay. If you have an offset load, like let's just say you have one kettlebell and you're doing a split squat. The band pulling the knee inward that we talked about first is like putting the weight on the same side as the lead foot. So we would call that an ipsilateral load, right? That's going to emphasize the external rotation element coming up out of the split squat. So it makes it easier for me to come up out of the split squat, harder to capture the internal rotation down. If I use a contralateral load, so I put the kettlebell in my right hand with a left foot lead in a split squat, I now made it easier for me to capture the internal rotation moment at the bottom of the split squat. So I can use an asymmetrical load. I can use a band as you describe, and I'm capturing the same elements of position at the beginning or at the end of the split squat. Does that make sense?

I'm going to stick with the connective tissue theme a little bit. So I know we talked about kind of like drop-catch variations versus like a back squat or front squat and something in terms of how like the tissues would behave less stiff versus more stiff respectively. And I think I'm just kind of confusing myself a little bit. So I guess like the way at least that's something about right now in my head, it's not making sense why they would behave less versus more stiffly. Cause the way I'm looking at it is like with that drop-in catch variation, yes, like it's unweighted for a second and then you're dropping underneath it. But from like the, if it seems like you're almost just like changing the starting point of when you begin to interact with the load.

Yeah.

Okay, so if I say that we're going to run five miles today, Andrew, you immediately have in your head, like whether you recognize it or not, you think I have a pace that would be my five mile run pace. You wouldn't run like you're running your sprints, right? You immediately know it's got to be slower than that because I got to do it a heck of a lot longer than my 100 meter sprints. Sure. If you don't give somebody a target or an end, while you might be able to focus on different elements of the process, if I'm focused on restoring movement capabilities and things like that, it's like, yeah, you might get it. But again, it's like, okay, how much effort should I put behind this? If I'm capturing the position, how many times is Andrew going to make me do this? How much effort do I put behind each repetition? And so in that case, it's always better to give them an idea. So I don't give a rat's patootie about how many reps, to be honest with you. But what you might want to do is say, OK, we're going to do a 45-second set. And what I want is I want best quality of repetitions within that time frame. Because that's all repetitions are, is a representation of duration of exposure and rate of movement. That's what those are. That provides a measure of stimulus so we can dose things a little bit and have a little bit more structure. I think that if you leave people hanging too much, it just makes them uncomfortable. But like I said, I'm not disagreeing with the premise. But we have to work with humans that are emotional. And so they don't like walking into dark hallways that they're not familiar with. Right? Yeah. Do you want to increase someone's anxiety when you're trying to recapture movement capabilities?

No, it doesn't. Where does the yielding and overcoming come from?

Yeah.

To piggyback from what Emmanuel said about the heavy walking. Those are people who are like their gravity is a lot for them. So those are like the stompers or people that boom, boom, boom, like it's T-Rex.

One thing that's a little confusing is when you say somebody who's got a wide ISA is a compressed individual because it makes me think wide ISA makes me think of a blown up individual wide.

Yeah. I love that though. That's a good approach.

Yeah, I'm definitely not going to get to that with her because I've only got one more visit before she gets the left side done. But then when she's back at school, I can kind of just talk to her like before they have her start running, it'll be just getting into the pool and practicing some of that stuff, which should be the definitely have pool.

You're always going to spend more time with your wives in these sideline positions and such, because that's where you're going to be much more successful recapturing their ability to create the AP. It doesn't mean that you can't move them. In a perfect world, if you're going to restore relative motion to a wide ISA individual, you would want them to be able to do something in Pro. That would be a great representation of somebody that has adaptability. Just might not be something that you do like right off the bat because you just don't have the shape capabilities. Like I want my wide ISA picture to be able to turn. I just know he's not going to be like a narrow guy. Like my expectation is different.

Right.

OK. So you've got an anti-orientation on the left side for sure. I think it's pretty clear, actually, based on your description. Okay, here's your concern is how is she going to initiate the ER on that left side?

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You want ER at the elbow. So if I've got a positive pistol test, that means that the radius is ER'd more than you would like it to be.

Yeah. Well, you're in a, you're in a, so you're in a later, you put it, you put your foot on the wall. Is that what you're doing?

I guess this is going to come down to how we're defining a plyometric. Yeah, it is. I don't really have her leaving the ground.

Yes.

I know.
