The campo.

Yeah.

Are you saying essentially it allows like a reorientation without IR competition.

She'll have a great time. Yeah, please don't say that she walks like a cook.

You ever treat a whiplash patient?

Okay.

It's the same thing. So if I have sufficient excursion of expansion to compression, I always have a gradient. I always have a gradient that will keep me within a range.

I guess there is no scale.

Like the bow and arrow.

Yeah.

Yeah. Because if you gave him the power snatch, could he do it? Absolutely he could. Are you helping? Probably not. Right. Pushing him forward too fast. Right. Later in the program, now we can come, we can push him forward towards the power snatch variations.

So think about this: She's moving the lead leg into an early representation of propulsion. That's what a split jerk is—it's going to take the lead leg into early position to capture the position. Do you understand that? It's like a step forward. It's just a step forward. So when you step forward, which way is the sacrum facing?

And I just wanted to ask, if the narrow is falling forward and he has an inhaled skeleton and you were looking from top down and drew like a frontal plane line through the body. And then you looked at the thoracic outlet and—A what? Just like a line to have the body in the—Okay, I like that better. Thank you. I'm sorry about that. Okay. So would you say that the, the, because the posterior side is like a parachute basically on an era? Yeah.

Right. I have to create pressure there. Don't I?

Yeah. Let me ask you this. With that, he's also a guy that has a very steep back path. Does that make sense?

So when would you use that? It's like, let's not be overly complex. It's like, okay, I need to drive more internal rotation on that side. How could I possibly do that? How about I drive internal rotation into the ground through an extremity and through a hip at the same time? Because that's what you're doing. I'm promoting a shape change. I'm promoting a higher pressure strategy on the downside versus the upside. So now we can have a discussion that has some reasoning behind it versus some vague notion of core strength.

Sorry. When it tries to get IR?

What I'm doing though is I'm creating the delay that I need on that side. Okay. Yeah. It doesn't turn right away. I have to create that. Okay. You understand?

Not yet. We're not, okay. Let's go back to space time. So I'm here, okay? But what if I keep pushing myself forward? So I have to push from here now. This is already forward. And now I have to push from here and now I'm going to go between the two sticks. I'm going to push this between the two sticks. But what musculature did I need to use here to push myself forward?

If I have a guy that is sitting there with a concentrically oriented muscle and he doesn't know the difference between that representation and what it feels like to not do that, I have to give him that sensation. I have to provide it. So what you're trying to do is you're trying to create a window of opportunity so you can actually do something movement-wise that he can execute. But to do that, I have to give him the capability to do that. You're going to interact, you're going to, like I said, whatever methods people use, I don't care if it's dry needling and it works, if it's what would be considered soft tissue mobilization and it works, if it's a joint manipulation and it works, like it works because it works. But you have to be able to access movement and position to create the activity so he can then execute it himself. This is why we have those tools. When you think about like a heterarchy of treatment, if someone brands themselves a manual therapist, they tend to jump right into manual therapy. And a lot of times they can make effective changes. The amount of learning that takes place under those circumstances is limited and therefore the outcome may not last. In this circumstance, what I would say is you try to make the change with him. So he gets the sensation, then you teach him the activity that you wanted to teach him in the first place. Now he actually has access to those positions. And so he can create the position. He can feel the sensation, and then execute it much more effectively. And then you have a better outcome.

Yep, that's helpful. Thank you very much.

So when you do a table test and you get a limitation in a table test, do you know what it would represent as far as where the limitation is being produced? So we talk about superficial compression strategies and things like that, where you have concentric orientation of musculature and it creates a limitation. Do you know where those are?

This is a really simple representation. The shortest distance between two points is the straight line. If I train an athlete to access in regards to superficial musculature, so too much hypertrophy, too much force production, and they start to constrain their physical shape. When you see somebody that's very well muscled, they have really, really wide shoulders. The reason you get wider is because you're getting squeezed front to back. There's no muscles on the side that squeeze you back in. All the muscles that squeeze you are either on the front side of your body or the back side of your body. So you get squished out the sides. What happens is you go from this nice cylinder shape that turns very easily, and then you become this sort of oblong, wider side to side and narrower front to back. Well, to turn that takes more time. There's a greater distance to rotate around something that is wider than something that is narrower. That's why you'll see these prototypical quarterbacks tend to be a little bit taller, a little bit narrower, with helical angles that are a little bit more vertical, and you'll see a different type of delivery from those guys. Those are the guys that can turn. The worst thing you could do is take that away from them. Having said that, I can train them to a certain degree, increase their force production and maybe add some connected tissue stiffness that gives them a quicker release up to a point. But then going farther than that, I've just stolen their abilities again. This is how you train people: you have to find out who they are, what they're good at, and what they need. The only way to do that is to train them. You start, you do something, you see what happens.

Okay. So here's what I want you to do in the slowest possible manner. Take a step back with your left foot.

Yeah. Got it.

They look like eyeballs that are squinting, so they go down and in.

Yeah, she cannot turn to that direction. A lot of it's like pain limiting.

Yeah. It's all the way down, isn't it? You're getting warm here. You're really getting warm. You're going to be careful. If you get a massive amount of valgus rotation tomorrow, right? Like a big return and the internal rotation disappears. That's going to be your spine. Okay. Which means, which means, hang on, which means that she still has the original downward and forward compression on the spine.

I did see that. Yeah. So it goes in ways, right?

Yeah, exactly. It's like then walk and see how that feels.
