Yes.

So if you would like that, please go to askbillhartmanedgmail.com, askbillhartmanedgmail.com, put 15 minute consultation in the subject line, and we will get you set up for that call for the weekend. Again, have an outstanding weekend. I will see you all next week.

You're lying.

So here's what you just did, Kyle: you took her through a squat and determined she doesn't have normal hip range motion. Here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to put her in a position where I know she's going to have to capture, guess what, external rotation with a superimposed internal rotation on top of it. You just did a cross-connect, right? So you just did an activity that requires executing what she doesn't have. And so you may have just given it to her, right? Yes. You see it? That's why table tests are important to understand because they tell you where the limitations might be produced. If I know where they're produced and I know where that influence exists in other activities, now I can start to use other activities to address it. I don't need to put people on the table. You see it?

If you can walk backwards, go ahead and do it.

Yeah, absolutely. It's something I'll need to go back and listen to again and think about it again. But yeah, because obviously I had a little backwards there, but it does. And then being able to go back and look at this video, which I really will hate to do because I hate looking at myself on the screen.

Yeah. So which way are they going to twist the proximal tibia?

Oh, I was looking for that because yeah, this is this is the scenario.

I know this girl can [do something], but she's far over to the right. I know she can't acquire the IR position, so she can't acquire the force producing position. I think I know what the problem is, but I'm having some trouble transitioning.

Now, you need to account for every joint position. Right. Laying down is not standing up, right? Similar, but different. So you have to account for all of those as well, right? So, don't just look at the ankle and the foot and say, 'oh, it's fine' because they may be using a totally different proximal representation to allow them to demonstrate what's going on with the foot.

Try something else.

That's how I pick on people. I name things after them. Apparently, you're only allowed one exercise. You're only allowed to have one exercise named after you. After that, it's just ego, I think. So what do you think you're actually doing? So you're taking away, you're taking away.

It's compressed. So you would see this narrow ISA overhead press. You've seen the same turn, right? They're pushing the left side harder. They're going to push the left side harder forward, and you'll see the same kind of a head orientation, or they're going to kind of do that because they're compressing the left DR forward. And so you'll see their head will go this way, and their jaw kind of goes back against it like that. It's the same orientation.

All right. And make her get up using the right leg.

So let's go back to the pelvis thing for a second. First move on the right oblique. You start with the lowest center of gravity. You're going to move to a higher center of gravity. What direction is the left side going to go? Awesome. What would that look like in a bench press? You ever spot anybody on a bench press in your entire career? Yes. Okay. Take a kid, fairly new to strength training. Good size kid though. Okay. You're spotting him. He's got, let's see. I'm trying to do this in kilograms. What would it be? 66? 60, 60 kilograms, 60 kilograms. Okay. Two twenties on a bar. Yeah, there you go. See, that was a tough conversion for me because I'm an American and we avoid the metric system whenever possible. So what is his shoulder girdle representation going to look like as he's about to perform the final rep of a set where he is taking it to a high level of fatigue? He's probably going to shrug the crap out of it. Which side? The left side.

That becomes, and then you just slowly take away the pads as they start to gain capacity to change shape and then produce pressure, right? And then you just make it harder. It's just like we were talking about before. It's like, do you do things in the hardest manner to start? Is it highest velocity, fullest range of motion, the hardest activity to control? It's like, no, you don't do that. You start with whatever range of motion they can control and whatever speed they can control, et cetera. So that's all you're doing. You're just creating a constraint within the activity to make sure that they are successful.

Do that. Okay. So let's use a concrete example. All right. All right. Let's say that you've got, it's a weird clinical day and you've got back to back patients. One is the most extreme wide ISA individual you've ever seen. The second one is the most narrow ISA individual you've ever seen. Okay, you followed me so far. Both end game. They're both representing the same position of their center of gravity. Did they get through the same way?

Barbell on the back or something, and a band to pull her up kind of thing.

Okay. If you're lying on your side and you're moving very, very slowly. The sensation from the ground up is where you want to focus your attention, not the top side. Because remember, you're weighted into the ground as soon as you lie on your side, you get an anterior posterior expansion capability.

OK.

What if I, so he's like this, so he's probably like this, okay?

Okay, that's exactly how it runs.

So don't let the position that she's being measured in deceive you as to what is good.

So again, you have to understand using a concentric representation, or I'm sorry, eccentric representation in the thoracic diaphragm. Posteriorly, eccentric overcoming. Anteriorly, eccentric yielding.

So again, you can try to distribute things and be average to slightly above average or slightly below average on many things, or you shift those resources to a massive degree in one direction and you give up more of something. You can decide to a degree how much of whatever it is you're willing to give up. So there are people that train heavy, put on a lot of muscle, they're very strong based on gym standards, and they feel great. Right? So there are people that can do that. That doesn't make them great at that, but they, again, because they're above the average, it looks that way, right? And then so then everybody seems to think that that might be the solution when the reality is is like they just shifted enough resources in one direction. They took advantage of some genetic potential that allows them to represent certain things in a certain way. And but that's just playing out the process is to find out what you are capable of. And so we talk about monitoring key performance indicators. So what would we use as a measure of health in regards to MUM is like, well, do you have normal relative motions available to you? are you able to recapture your relative motions after you do something that is a very high intensity, high force, high speed, where you would typically have to give up relative motions to produce that performance, right? Some people can perform and recapture the relative motions. Some people have to give up their relative motions to reach that level of performance, right? So again, we always want to fall back on a process that allows us to make the best possible decisions based on your intentions, right? So if you want to be a world-class power lifter, you train very, very hard and very, very heavy, and then to do that to get more forceful, you may actually have to give up motion. Because any extraneous motion during a lift consumes energy for me to resist the undesired movement. So it may help me to actually give up ranges of motion at certain points in time to make the performance better. So a very long-winded answer.

She was still right-facing as she was trying to do the split squat, which is why she got the posterior knee pain. Chances are she was still feeling a little bit of the pressure in the anterior hip as she was doing the left foot lead. So you did the right foot lead that brought that side of the sacrum forward. Now you got a sacrum that can actually square to the front, and there's your solution, at least part of the solution. Because now, so let's go back to Zach's question, where he's like, oh, you know what, if I just changed the sequence, if I would have done the high-low cable thing first, then rolled, we probably would have got a better result. So what you want to do is you want to do the right-foot lead thing, bring that sequella base forward after you've done all that sideline stuff, right? And then go back and try the left-foot lead with the offset low. So basically you give her the capacity to square the sacrum to the front and then you train it with the left foot lead offset load to teach her to capture the IR representation with a sacrum that can actually face forward now.

Totally.

Gotcha. You see it as a general default, if someone is pretty far forward and not symmetrical, you're probably assuming you have to bring them back to center up towards the left.

And then the arm, let's say if it's still—if we go back to the left foot on the wall—is the intensity of my reach from my left arm to my right thigh. In this situation, it wouldn't be very aggressive because that whole left side needs to start to yield. So it's not going to be like a very aggressive reach at that point.

OK. Yeah, I can see.
