Elastic resistance can be very, very helpful or it could be massive amounts of interference or it could be intentional interference from a dampening perspective. And that's one of the things that Lee's really good at is, I always tell Lee, it's like, you know more physics than most people know physics and he doesn't know any physics, but he does, right? So he did it like through pure practical application. That's how he figured out all this stuff, like literally watched hours of film and practiced and went out and he was probably on basketball courts all by himself for hours at a time. But anyway, so what I would do when you're dealing with the application of the resistance on the horizontal versus the vertical, we talk about it a lot with box squats and things like that, and Lee applies that much more on the horizontal. Right, look at that from the influence on the internal dynamics first. And that'll probably be the best way to capture what he is trying to do. So when you go into elastic resistance, it's a dampening effect. So if you were to try to accelerate into a rubber band, it's going to increase the amount of time that you spend on the ground. Okay, so the total impulse could be increased, but you're increasing the duration of the application. So normally what I would do, if I was cutting off my right foot, so I'm gonna jab into the ground with my right foot, I'm gonna change direction, right? My guts are gonna be a little bit behind me under those circumstances, right? So I land, the guts come slamming back into the right side, I turn, my body turns and starts to change direction, and then my guts swing along for the ride, okay? Slow all of that process down when you're going into the resistance. So as you pull into the cut with the rubber band, that's going to turn you faster than you normally would. So that's increasing the acceleration. And that's going to bring the guts into the cut faster. As I move against the resistance, I'm going to come out slower. Okay. All right. Again, increased duration of application and then the gut behavior is going to be slower coming out of the cut. Useful for rehabilitative circumstances. So like when you're working with all of the ACLs that you get and you're starting to reintroduce changes of direction, it may behoove you to dampen the forces. Okay.
