Take a day and do a whole bunch of different carries and then give yourself some sort of self-assessment or reevaluation in regards to how you respond to those activities. You will find that you will be favorably responding to certain types, and there will be other types of activities that actually may steal some of your movement capabilities. So those will be the activities that you would want to stay away from if the goal is to restore maximum variability or to actually enhance your ability to do certain things. So if I can create a better compressive strategy under certain circumstances, my force production goes up. So maybe I actually help my bench press by doing a certain type of carry or maybe I improve my ability to deep squat or reach overhead by restoring some eccentric capabilities. So again, keep in mind that this goes in both directions, depending on whether I'm trying to reinforce something good in regards to performance or whether I'm trying to restore something for a more favorable movement-based outcome.

All right, brother, what can I do for you, young man?

So just so we're clear, we don't turn this into a symmetrical representation until it needs to be a symmetrical representation, which is from that parallel point to impact. Even then, it wouldn't be symmetrical if you're like a narrow ISA kind of guy. And you've seen that a million times where you'll see the guys kind of over one leg as their impact. And you see the other guys that are kind of square to the ball when they're at impact.

So you put her in a side split squat, you gave her the right strategy and she was okay. Yes. Okay. So at high speed. So it's a velocity based problem, right? Yes. Okay. So. As long as she can capture it, awesome. She's capturing it against gravity, awesome. So your progression is the exposure to the forces that she has to capture the internal rotation within. So the problem is not the ability to access the position. The problem is to be able to access the position in real time at speed in context.

OK. You want to do that?

Yeah.

Okay, so how many exercises can you come up with that are in that shape? Like change the positions, change the angles. Literally, take your end position, take your end position. Okay? Can you appreciate that you're pushing the right side into the left side and then the left side is holding you back?

I wonder, you know, when someone is in mid-stance, they are not hiking the pelvis—it is going down. The pelvis is going down. So how do you explain this in the eyes of your model, in the view of your model? First, what happened that caused it? And how would you advise to fix it when it happens on one side or the left side?

Okay. How much abdominal activity would you want in that circumstance?

So we said that, would it be wise to restrict the rib flare in the other side? For example, like if the rectus strategy is on the right, very strong, restricting the lower ribs in the left, not allowing them to flare, would this help to open to

I'm going after early on the first try.

It's all right. I don't know those are pet peeveers. It is. It is.

Okay.

All right, that's better.

Lay is going to push you off of it.

Okay.

So just like if I wanted to say it like simply and attribute to one thing, the connective tissue behavior aspect is the big differentiator of why the narrow stance does that a little bit more effectively.

Don't try not to confuse that. As far as the bend, what direction do you think it's going?

I know.

If I would do the same pull down, I would also get some expansion on the right backside because of the position of the humerus at the very beginning of the pull.

I did.

Okay.

Got it. You just cleared up the question.

Yeah, I was just wondering because the spine is turned that way, that the IR on the right would not be as magnified because this.

That kind of a thing. Gotcha.

It's like, okay, where can you put them? Like what sideline in this situation? And I'm going to use my hands to create the gradient at that point to start to shut off that lateral aspect of the rib cage.

Early. So what does an early foot look like? I mean, a plantar-flexed, first ray, sort of Taylor position. Let me grab the foot. So yeah. See the groove made to put your thumb right there? You've ever done a cuboid on a foot? Same position.

Okay. So if I put this concept into practice, when I see someone whose center of gravity is shifted way forward and I lie them down, they will reduce motor output, right? Potentially. Potentially.

Depending on where you're looking. Yes. I mean, if you looked at the outlet position, that would be a really good representation of the outlet position.

Are you familiar with that?
