Both represent an increase in entropy relative to the zero point.

And so my thought process was he kind of presented like a stroke. And I know way back we talked about they're very like compressed because that's like a strategy of theirs.

That does not allow you to fine tune the relative motions from the top down. So literally he's, he's got a three and a half foot space that he's trying to coordinate his foot position with. And if he's off by just a little bit,

Less tear. Because there's more of an ability of the tendon to pull on the capsule and shift fluid volume.

Yeah. So can I ask you a question, man? OK. So we're working with one of Ian's soccer players. And we're trying to capture an early representation. And he doesn't have full range knee bend yet, but we're going to start to do a little bit of power work with a barbell, okay? And so I'm going to send him to you and I'm going to say, hey, let's avoid any of the deep knee bending stuff, but he can bend his knee like say easily 45 degrees and we can start to work on some patterning of explosive work, okay? But again, I want an early representation. Are you going to give him a snatch from the boxes so we can limit the range of motion? Like a power snatch from the box, or are you going to give him a power clean from a box?

So when you're somebody comes in with right hip stuff and they go, 'Zach, I got a right hip thing.' And you go, 'let me measure your right hip stuff.' And so you measure the right hip stuff and then you stop right there and you don't measure anything else, right?

Yeah.

Well, what do you think it would be?

Okay.

Andrew, this is actually a big deal. I see a fair number of females that would have an issue with outlet control. This is how you have to do it. You have to teach them the sustained element first because they don't even have this high pressure strategy at all. For me to say, sit down in the box and pop off, it's very hit and miss as far as your success rate goes. But when you teach them to touch and go first and then they understand it's like, oh, this is where the high pressure is. This is how I manage this. Then it's much easier to superimpose the great stuff on top of it.

So force production?

Real quick, if she doesn't tolerate the weight bearing, which I would think that if she can do a back bend that she can probably handle the weight bearing, but if she can't handle the weight bearing, just drop her down to her side. So all fours is like a lazy bear. Okay, there's a really lazy bear position, which is if you put yourself in quadruped and just fall over to the side. Okay, that's a really lazy bear, but it's the same position. It's the same position. It's just less gravity than you had before and it gives you an opportunity to turn. So that's okay. I would start looking at that.

Let me help you. If you were walking and you landed with your left foot forward, early propulsion. Early. What direction is the sacrum facing?

Please.

I understand. I'm just using an extreme as a representation. So here's the problem that you run into with load. What does load make you do? Compensate. Well, but are you gonna let, are you just gonna- Oh, it makes you compress. Yeah, exactly. And so there's going to be an element of concert or orientation that's gonna be associated with trying to control the load. And so it could create interference. You're a PT, right? Mm-hmm. Okay. So if somebody can't access a sensation or a position on their own, what do you do? Under any circumstances?

Okay, so there's a difference between... I'm going to show you with the foot, okay? One second. Hang on. I got to try to silly thing off. There we go. So when the metatarsal is down and the heel is down and the tibia is behind the ankle and actually rotated, that is an early representation. The late representation is heel elevated with toe extended. So that would be a dorsiflexed Big toe. So these are not the same positions. This is a position where the connected tissues are in the yielding action. This is in a position where the connected tissues are in the overcoming, which means that they're stiffer here and then they can yield and absorb energy here. You need to find this position, not this one, because chances are you're already using this one. This is why you're having trouble capturing the internal rotation is because the connected tissues are trying to push you ahead. They're releasing energy and pushing you forward. You need to create the delay where everything can expand in external rotation and you create the yielding action in the connected tissues to absorb the energy first. Now you can land, you can start to superimpose your internal rotation. And once you capture your internal rotation, I imagine you're just going to be fine because now you're going to move through that, that, uh, propulsive phase, um, with good control versus trying to accelerate through it and trying to get to late as quickly as possible. Okay. So, so strategy wise, the band pulling your knee out, Right. So you can pull the knee in, keep it in line with the hip. That's going to get you this intra-rotation. It's going to get you in that medial contact with the ground. Offset load, contralateral side in your split squats. Okay. Does that help you?

So then, it's like with a regular loaded squat, because you're not really trying to drop underneath and slow it to make it come to a stop. It's almost like it's already stopped. That's why you get that super stiff behavior with it, or the most stiff behavior with it.

That's just a dose of reality to you. That's part of the job that you know, the territory, right? Yeah.

You got it. Exactly right. So you get to decide it's like, okay, am I biasing this more towards a force production kind of a thing? Then I don't want as much relative motion in the pelvis, but I might be able to create more relative motion between the femur and the pelvis, which is also useful at times.

No, you can't. Yes, you can. It's impossible.

Got it. Okay.

Yep.

Yeah, I could explain why I get more in the scapular plane versus that because that's where extra rotation is.

Yeah. All a plank is is that one static position in the middle. That one moment in time that you have to hit that right. So you're just teaching her how to create the shape. But if you make it too hard, she has to use a different shape than you want. She's no longer bracing down and in towards the ground. She's arching towards the ground. And that's why your back hurts. Most likely.

We put weight on the ground and they have a little toe that kind of tucks under and rises.

Yeah. Yeah. Most likely. Okay. You understand? Yes. Okay. Now here's your other pickle. Where else is she going to try to year?

I've been a little bit, I've had some lifts at this time. So it's come up to finals week. So I get a little time back now.

Yeah. And for that friend, I guess like a discussion you had last week or two weeks ago with him, I think it was with Zach, was about trap bar and like the impact he would have on the length of mid the propulsion and since I kind of kept that reasoning of like, oh narrow trap bar, easier, more vertical good. But I didn't realize what impact it had on the way propulsion would unfold. So since I kind of went, oh maybe it makes more sense for my narrow to do like a down and then back up on like chin ups or like step ups, you know, to have them like step down so they can bring a wave with them in and out. I guess that would be probably a smart way to do it for my friend because that would allow him to kind of start from where he knows like we know he has access to space and then give him time to like really slowly get in and out and then I also kind of limit the chances that he rests on the floor and so he's going to really stay in like that would make sense like as far as uh force component of force.

Yeah.

Yeah.
