So, let's think about going all the way to the bottom. Left foot back, Campo Deva. Weight in the right hand. When you get to the bottom, that's going to give you the greatest access to internal rotation in that position. If I switch the weight and put it in the left hand, I will be coming from that position I just accessed with the weight in the right hand. Make sense?

No, I need to think about that. I'm definitely having some follow-ups on that, but not a rude interruption. That's a good sidebar.

Early.

Yeah, yeah, for sure. That's good.

Okay.

I heard that on another podcast, I think you did and I've already been able to kind of implement that in some of my sessions. It's been really helpful. So I appreciate it.

Okay, that's how you would influence the apex of that. And then you can do the same thing. You just slide your hand down. If I needed to externally rotate the lower aspect of it, I could do the same thing, but it requires a little bit more of a different orientation of the axial skeleton to create it.

You could say that. Yeah. Okay. So think of that. So his late representation is on the left side. Like he's already there. And so even though, Manuel, is this a positive or a negative hat sign? Other. So even though his hat is facing a certain direction, we can't rely on that as a representation of anything that's going on here because he's moving around on the bench. But what I want you to understand is that he is literally facing he is facing up and to the right, okay? So that's what that ER is. So the ER is not pulling him in that direction. He's actually pushing himself away from that direction. So his spine and his sacrum are oriented, so they are facing up and to the right.

Indeed. Because that's where the narrations.

Good morning. Happy Friday. I have neural coffee in hand, and it is perfect. All right. Man, busy Friday. We're going to dig straight into today's Q&A. This is with Matt. Matt asked some great foundational questions here. Matt's an accomplished strength coach. He doesn't like people on the table to do table tests. So he's looking for ways to confirm suspicions in regards to right oblique orientations of the pelvis. For those of you that are new to the game, a right oblique orientation is typically going to be your wide ISA representation. So we're going to start with our IR representation of the pelvis. And what we're going to see is we're going to see a left side elevation of that center of gravity which is going to tip everything on that right oblique axis. The big tail for you there is the loss of external rotation on the right hip relative to the left. That's going to be one of your more common findings. But we're also going to see representations of this in the gym. And so we talked Matt through a series of activities. So we actually went squat and I believe deadlift and even a bench press in these representations to give you some clues as to what you're actually looking at. We can also tell how far forward the center of gravity is based on certain aspects. And I think we mentioned the photo orientation in this case. So this is going to be a pretty decent video for a lot of people that don't spend time throwing people down on the table and doing table tests. And they're not in a rehab situation. They're more in the fitness realm. So thank you, Matt, for this question. The podcast will be up on Sunday as usual. Everybody have an outstanding weekend. I'll see you next week.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I have a question about a specific exercise and its merits or dangers. So recently, I've used a toe-elevated hinge for narrow ISAs, like putting a block between the knees to help them get nutation of the sacrum prior to some other sort of hinging activity, and that's been really good. The other day, I experimented with somebody doing a Romanian deadlift on just a toe-elevated platform because it seemed to get a favorable shape change. It was a narrow ISA individual who looked like they do well with that sort of activity. My thought process is that, okay, well, that's still relative nutation of the sacrum. You can see the shape change in those people. So I was just wondering, is that a valid activity choice for a narrow ISA individual who's trying to capture some strength within posterior lower expansion? And then are there any sort of caveats or secondary consequences, something like that?

Well, let's just say pelvis is moving, okay? Pelvis and hip. Okay. Not a lot of knee movement, 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 going to single out fascia as anything that would be more important because it's going to be included in everything because it's attached to everything. Everything's wrapped in it from bone to every organ right is contained within it. So it is an influence; it's just not terribly special.

Yeah. So can she deliver a peak IR force on the right side?

Okay.

It's the wave propagating up through the system. There you go.

Awesome. Okay. Where does the pec attach? Does it attach to the joint? To the coracoid process. Okay. That's pec minor. Okay.

And so, what is your precise definition of entropy? Because right now I'm understanding what you're saying, but my memory is that it's the inefficiency of the system. Is the fact that there's input and output that never correspond? There's always some inefficiency. Okay, okay, okay. Okay, we're talking about the same thing, cool.

Well, again, they'll be more compressed on the unaffected side.

Yeah, ankle sprain.

Why?

Sure.

It'd be the external rotation measure.

I love the head shake. I used to love my long hair. The head shake was awesome because you could feel it. I miss that.

Is it like L5? That's one.

Okay.

Yeah, just like isometric core activities.
