I mean, it would be medial right now.

Okay, that makes sense.

You might have to. Yeah. Sure. You might need a little top-down shape change to allow that change to occur, right?

Well, thank you.

What moves the most in a Campari deadlift?

Yeah, you have that concern with all of the connective tissues though. It's like, let's not give fascia more value than it deserves, right? I mean, it's important. It's very helpful. Like I said, fascia is this giant suit of sensors. It's filled with sensory information that tells your brain where you are in space. So it's useful and very necessary. It does adapt, but all the connective tissues are going to adapt under those circumstances. And so it's like, we're not gonna single out fascia as anything that would be more important because it's gonna be included in everything because it's attached to everything, right? Everything's wrapped in it from bone to every organ right is contained within it. Yeah, so it is an influence, it's just not terribly special.

It's for driving IR from the top down. It's exactly what it's for. Unless you're Dr. House, what side do you put the cane on? The opposite side. So can she deliver a peak IR force on the right side?

She's got a 500 pound barbell on her shoulders, boss.

So I guess where I'm lost is where does a wave come in there, Bill?

When I say other side, I mean front, I'm sorry to be clear. If I push you from the back, what's the front going to eventually do? Go forward. Okay. Push back. Okay. What pushes back? Compression. No. What? What? Give me a muscle name that pushes back.

Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

So that, okay. So he had the biggest issues with like his pinky and his ring finger, right?

Yeah.

Okay, so a small supraspinatus tear. So let's just say it's half a centimeter, okay? And then you have somebody that comes in and they go, I have a two centimeter tear. Who has the best shoulder elevation of the two?

Cool.

I'm not sure I understand where you're going with that.

Does he do the thing?

What would be the next femur superior to that?

So he's trying to drive force down into the ground. Because his orientation is going to pull him away from the medial foot contact. So what he's got to do is he's got to translate some measure of mass over the inside edge of the foot to drive internal rotation into the ground so he can translate himself forward in the swing, right? OK. So this is a strength. You know where he's doing it. He's probably doing it at L5S1. Most likely is that where he's sort of driving that because of the knee orientation. So chances are you're getting in. So he's trying to get the sacrum instead of facing away from the pitcher, he's got to get a sacrum that faces towards the pitcher so we can move in that direction. And so you're seeing the knee move immediately, but chances are, if you can get a view of him from behind as he is swinging the bat, I would be looking like right at L5S1 if I were you and see what you're seeing there because chances are that's where you're gonna see this orientation where he's gonna be driving the, he's gonna be driving anti-orientation of the right side of the pelvis forward and left and down medial. So it's gonna try to be the internal rotation moment, if you will. So the IR, is not coming from the hip, obviously. It is going to be coming from the L5S1. So it's the pelvic orientation. Therefore, the knee is just following what the pelvis is doing. I would also make sure that you've got a foot that can capture the middle propulsive representation. Because if he can't do that, then you have an interference. And that might be, again, be why he's using this strategy because it does move his center of mass medial to the right foot and allows him to create that downward force.

Okay, cool. Yeah, that helps a lot.

Planks, side planks, power off, just like any generic core strengthening exercises.

Awesome. Thank you very much.

The sequel position is different. Yes, I meant like that. Let's say they have their left foot on the wall. We're trying to get that initial, early propulsive foot stance and pressure on the inside of the foot. I think this has been answered, but I wanted to clarify. As they bring the right leg forward to the midline, we reach with the left elbow to that right thigh, keeping it below about 60 degrees. I started answering myself, but I just want to confirm if I was right after all the questions. This is helping because they're in supine, so their sacrum is already facing forward—more like in a neutral position. I thought I understood it.

I think I understand what you're asking. So let's just kind of talk through in sequence.

Yeah, but like a more moderate version of that.

Yes, sir. Yeah, it makes sense as far as where you're talking about. Why the whole foot versus just the heel?

Okay, so you've just differentiated which one would produce a stiffer response in regards to the connective tissues. Same exercise, time-based response, right? Shorter time, faster rate, stiffer tissues. Longer time, slower rate, more yield.

Yeah, no kidding because you're training high schoolers and you can't even get them to pay attention to that.

Yes, that makes sense. So if the left foot is in front and you're doing your kickstand deadlift, that will be a little bit more compressive and propulsive. And then because you're pushing back, you can create more of a yielding strategy on the left side.

For example, walking forward isn't the only way to walk, right? You can also walk backwards, right?
