Yes, I get that that's helpful.

I promise to do my best to do my duty, God in my country, and to obey the law of the pack. I can't remember the Boy Scout thingy. I was never a Boy Scout, so I can't help you there. My brother was an Eagle Scout, so he rubs that in a lot. So it's just trying to oppose the thumb. So you oppose here because you're fixing the position of the thumb. I moved towards ulnar deviation, old school thinking, okay? Ulnar deviation, okay? That should put abductor pollicis longest, okay? So that's the lengthened position, if you will, okay? And then I break the opposition, all right? So I take APL out of the equation now. So that was the limiting factor. So that actually stopped my hand from moving. Okay, so it stops my hand. If I break the opposition, I should have more room to go. Right. Yes, no, no, no. Don't do this. Don't spread your fingers apart. You're going to screw the test.

I got you.

You just say starting conditions or you would say relatively it's in an overcoming representation, right?

That would be a big deal. So you've inverted her, right? You're moving her towards an IR representation of the pelvis and the hip and the foot all at the same time. That's why you do those things, right? We got to get people to stop thinking about muscles and start thinking about the position, right? So you're trying to get her the IR. I would do this till the cows come home as much as you possibly can. You get it? Yeah. IR. IR. IR. IR. And you got to drive it top down.

How do you do that, Grace? I got pen and paper. I'm ready. Say it out loud.

Yes.

The abduction.

Yeah. Yeah.

On her left foot.

Yep.

Did you just create like a permanent expansion

In terms of sequencing, if we're going between getting pulled and then pushing ourselves into it, you could do something in between those two. Like, for example, a right arm overhead press where you turn yourself in that direction anyway. But we're overcoming on one side and maybe you can orient your hand to get a yield on the left.

Yeah. So it's like okay, the six guys that were trying to hold my Jeep up are getting crushed. They're trying to lift, but they're going to explode at the bottom because the weight's just going to crush them, right? The other four guys, who cares? They're fine. Nothing wrong there. You're asking fewer motor units to do the same amount of work that it took concentrically. And so what's going to happen to them? They're going to get busted up. And that's what happens.

So I did a quick assessment on her and she has like 20 degrees of shoulder flexion, which might be part of her issue. I was trying to work through the thought process of like those two things she was saying. Awesome.

Chances are he's going to grow up to be a great standup comedian or maybe a rock singer, but you got to get him internal rotation first because you can't hold on to the microphone as a strategy longterm.

Okay.

Yep.

Yeah, for sure. Thank you. Thank you.

Should there be a reason for everything that you do?

Makes total sense. Yeah.

Yeah. It's like the amount of time that we go through beginning of baseball season with all the guys to reteaching these is astronomical.

What end change do you want, Grace? What would you want to see?

Hello. Greetings. My question is, if you have someone with bilateral posterior low compression, you put them on the table and you're going to cross-connect both sides. And they say this is an individual with a big strength training history. Do you ever run into a problem where the effect you would need would take forever to cross-connect them, and you'd be better off doing some type of loaded activity?

See it, yeah. So would that also go for pretty much all your other exercises like the supine cross-connect and everything else? Other than that, a thousand percent, yeah. You're absolutely right. Yep. Okay. I would definitely coach that for myself and clients as well. Just always get that foot, probably take their shoes off or anything.

Okay. Give me an exercise that we're talking about so I can speak from a very clear frame of reference.

Yeah, that's good. It's good, yeah.

I had a question. The difference between a Campo deadlift and a kickstand RDL where you have the left foot forward and the right foot is back with the toe on the ground. With the first one, the kickstand RDL where the left foot is forward, that will be going from early towards mid and the Campo deadlift, they'll be going from late towards mid. Is that even different because of the balance position?

Yeah, that makes a whole lot more sense now. Thanks.

Okay, and then as I keep shifting it forward because I have to move my center of gravity so I don't fall backwards and I don't fall forwards, right? So I have to shift my center of gravity. So I'm going to move it forward and forward and forward. But the shape of the pelvis has to change as I do that. So I'm going to start to pick up more of that posterior lower activity. You see it?
