Right.

So, more forward means losing more internal rotation on the right.

I would have said if you'd asked me before today, start with the left foot. Put the left foot on the wall just to set up the foot, then use the right foot to push myself a little further into it.

So the principle is to apply pressure or alleviate it, right? And so we would use like say a compression or a tension, right? And we're trying to create an input that the body will respond to, right? So if I apply pressure to a hydrophilic tissue, which would be like something that it loves water, which is like everything in you loves water. Okay. If I apply pressure to that, I get a shape change. Okay. What you need to understand is where do I need the shape change? Okay. Then the question is, do I have any methods available to me without laying my hands on someone that may apply pressure or tension in the right place?

I'll be taking the summer off.

Cueing through the foot, making sure the inside edge of the foot is still maintaining contact with the wall or the box or whatever.

There we go.

And that's why it doesn't move. That's why it doesn't close. I don't care what the measurement is. I don't care what the angle is. People that are putting goniometers on thoracies are just wasting time and effort. It's not the number that matters. It's the behavior that matters. Because the behavior tells me what your bias will be. Does that help you?

Okay.

Does that make sense?

Yes.

Like... Can you show me?

Put the foot on the wall and slide it down and just make sure the heel stays down to get the same.

There you go. I'm okay with that.

You always move in the direction of expansion. OK, so for you to make a turn to the right, the left aspect of your axial skeleton has to expand and the right posterior needs to expand at the same time, otherwise you don't turn. It's not a relative motion. It wouldn't be relative motions. There's no relative motion in the golf swing, which has to happen because you've got to load the connective tissue behaviors. But to initiate the turn, you have to create the expansions. Otherwise, like I said, it's pure orientation. So here's how you can tell that somebody's orienting versus creating the relative motion turn. If you see the knee track away from midline and they roll to the outside edge of their heel, that's an orientation. Okay. Do you ever see Bobby, Bobby Jones's swing back? lousy, lousy backswing, but I don't think there was anybody better at recapturing the foot position on the way back during the downswing. It's like you watch, you watch his right foot and you go, that's crazy. Cause it looks like a, it looks like a hollow through in his, in his takeaway, right? And then he captures this, this awesome middle foot position and swing straight through it. So he just figured out a way to, you know, perfect his imperfections, if you will. Um, leachervino was very similar in that respect, but he never had a golf coach. That's probably why he swung golf club the way he did. Um, but, but no, you'll, you'll just see, you'll just see this, this kind of stuff. But, but if you can teach people to, to capture these, these earlier representation, number one, they're going to be more comfortable. Um, they're going to last longer. It's, it's, it's less energy intensive. You know, so you get the guys that drop off, you know, at the 12th hole. And then the last six holes, they're always over par. They literally run out of gas because their efficiency is so poor. You're going to improve their tissue efficiency to last a lot longer, number one. And they'll be more consistent with their swing.

No, the Lunar.

That's fine.

Okay.

Then he's gonna be alive.

Okay. Any other possibilities or is it just my coaching?

Well, I guess it sort of is stressing me out, but it's not necessarily about relationships or anything other than my relationship with my model. Okay, go ahead. I've got to write it down again. Because, like, little things like that, they're just sort of everywhere. You got to teach yourself to do that. And then identify, because then I'm going all over the place with whatever questions I want to pursue, rather than trying to answer a question. And like you've already told me, I can't multitask. So when you really go to write it out, I just didn't know from all the times that you've done it, is there an easier way to start about it? Like starting with the 10,000 foot view and then coming into certain parts? Or I don't how you go about it. Well, there's no right way. Okay, hang on. That's what I said you were gonna say.

But you're not wrong. It's just like, let's just think about this client, right? So if she was to do a reverse lunge right now, she's doing a reverse lunge with a 500 pound barbell on her shoulders, which is what we don't want, right?

After my shoulder goes back to me.

Yeah. So again, calling it bowing is not terribly helpful. We have to kind of consider what's going on here. It's actually a twist, right? And so it's just a matter of degree. So you have a knee joint in the middle, which is going to create the differential at the knee. So your tibial femoral ER, you've got distal femoral IR relative to each other because there's a joint there. But if I keep twisting the extremity into external rotation, hey, there we go, extra rotation. Remember? Is Alec on the call? There we go. Alec and Zach, there you go. So if I keep twisting the femur into ER, I'm gonna hit the constraint of the knee. And then I'm going to bring the whole leg with me. So when you think about, if we could look at this as a progressive situation, the knee is going to prevent the excessive amount of total extremity ER until that last moment, right? And then it's going to drag everything with it, but the differential is always going to be there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Like this?

Okay. So the posterior concentric anterior eccentric. So then when you look at the diaphragm as well, it's the same in the thorax or not the same.

Okay. How many marathon runners can do a triple body weight deadlift? There might be one. There might be one. Who knows? Okay. So there is not a single solution to this question. There are trade-offs. I have a finite quantity of resources available to me. So that's my genetics, that's my training, that's whatever I have available to me, that's my nutrition, that's my recovery, et cetera. Each one of those has a limit. And if I bias my behaviors in any one direction, I have to take away from something else because I do not have unlimited resources. Some people have more than others and that makes them very angry because they think that they can be anything that they want and they can't. I will never play professional basketball ever. I am not well designed for it. But I did make up for my lack of jumping ability with my lack of moves. But anyway, see, that was a joke. Very few people are going to get that. But it was a joke. Thank you, Michelle. Thank you for acknowledging. So that's the game that you're playing. So for everything that I move you in one direction to any significant degree, I will sacrifice something else. And it may not show up to a great degree at first. But if we use the extremes as the example, if we take a 280-pound bodybuilder or a 320-pound power lifter, I have now sacrificed the ability to move freely. I have sacrificed the ability to produce speed, jumping ability, whatever is in conflict with that. So there's always a trade-off. Right. What you may be able to do, there are people that can be slightly above average in a number of things. And it looks from the outside, like wow, they're great at everything. And then when you think about it, they're just, if you compare them to like the best in the world, they're not the best. So, if you use the, you're familiar with the Catholic and the Olympics, right? Okay. So there's typically gonna be like four, maybe five events out of the 10 that somebody is better at than all of the others. Because physiologically they're better, structurally they're better. And so I could have a very pedestrian, Javelin throw in the Decathlon and still win because I'm better on the like, let's just say I'm a better endurance runner. And so my 1500 meter time is great. My 400 time is good, right. But maybe I suck at 100 meters because I'm not fast enough. Or maybe I'm a good jumper, so my pole vault, my high jump, et cetera, is better. So that's kind of how they make the leap. Just FYI, in the last Olympics, my best javelin throw would have come in 12th at the Decathlon javelin. That's how average they are, because I was a pre-Lousy javelin throw.

Okay.
