Okay.

They have a whole bunch of like knobby things and round things and long cylinder things. They have, I'm waiting for the foam roller to come out that has like the nails on it, you know, like a bed of nails. I'm waiting for that to come out. It's like, so we have some of these things at our disposal. The question is, do you understand where this needs to be applied? And do you understand, the lack of a better term, dosage to get the response that you want? And do you understand what you're trying to affect?

The whole summer. I'm not going to be there.

Oh, okay.

Lean back and take a step backwards.

Okay, so I'll be famous now. Yeah, you're gonna be like you're gonna be the go-to guy down in Texas. Did that help you though as well?

The lateral.

So I don't even call it a kyphosis anymore because I think I don't like the term because it's vague. Somewhere on my Instagram, there is a thing called the Terry Project.

Okay, I got you. Uh-huh.

If they can get it in the reduced load environment, theoretically, they have the potential to access it even with the new graph versus if they can't get it, then maybe they were right. Yeah. That makes sense.

What are you gonna do when it doesn't work, Alex?

Bobby Jones had a 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 his right foot and you go, that's crazy, because it looks like a hollow through in his takeaway, right? And then he captures this awesome middle foot position and swings straight through it. So he just figured out a way to perfect his imperfections. Leachervino was very similar in that respect, but he never had a golf coach; that's probably why he swung the golf club the way he did. But if you can teach people to capture these earlier representations, number one, they're going to be more comfortable. They're going to last longer. It's less energy intensive. You know, so you get the guys that drop off 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.

That's all good. I don't need my name on it.

I was asking if there was a transitional segment at the T1 junction.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, definitely. You get it? Yeah, yeah, 100%. So how would that represent in, I was just trying to think about how that might represent in something like a bench press. So if we could see like a leg, let's say he's externally rotating his limbs further out on one side to try and acquire a position where he can get medial foot contact. I don't know whether that would be a valid view, if you know something to look at. And I'm trying to figure out what might be happening in the upper body in respect to that.

Okay.

Yes, please.

Well again, it's like how much can you de-load her? And then again when does it just become kind of ridiculous to how much you have to unload her? So let's think about this for a second. So Alex if we were going to do a squat so let's take Lalo's suggestion because it's a really good one.

Yeah.

Well, yeah, I was going to say you're going to be proximal. You're going to be driving a lot of ER. But you still have to get IR into the ground, which is why you'll see the, you'll see, so instead of having two twists, so twist femur, twist. I have one big extremity with one big round twist, right? That's essentially what's happening. Always understanding that there's still a little differential at the knee. You still have to address that. You still have to address the knee. But if I'm looking at this from, you know, more expanded view, you have to address the proximal ER element of this first.

in that position using the unaffected side. A right arm reach? Maybe.

Correct. He has to, because again, he's not using relative motion through the hip to position his foot down. He's using relative motion in the spine, right? So it's above that. So the pelvis is one piece and it is, like he does this to get the left side down. He does that to get the right side down. So he runs like that.

Well, definitely. Yeah.

Okay. But could you say that the anterior part of the diaphragm is then more descended or ascended?

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. Okay. 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. Okay. I will never play professional basketball ever. I am not well designed for it. Okay. 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. Right. And it looks, 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, um, 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.

No. Yeah.

Yeah, eventually, so here's Grace's representation of a perfect split squat. Here's what the client just did: first rep, first set, next set, next set, next set, next set. So eventually it's gonna be this close. So this is your representation, here's what they just did. Now you gotta go, 'You know what? We gotta tighten this up.' You're really close, we gotta tighten this up. Like you're this close. Now you can be very particular because they've accumulated all this understanding up to this point. They have sensations, they have language that they now understand. And so when you're there, now you gotta get tight with them. You see the difference? Let people make mistakes. How do you learn something? Do you learn best by struggling a little bit? Like trying to hold two ideas in your head like you did on Monday. Or if somebody says, 'Here, Grace, I'm going to feed you the answer.' Okay. Here you go. There's another answer for you. Here's another answer. Even though you don't know how or why it's right. Here you go, Grace. I'm going to feed you. Or is it better for you to figure out how to close that gap because you get all this information and you get a way to organize it in your head?

Yeah. See, it's not so hard. So you look at the client, and you say, 'Oh, he's standing in his kitchen, and he's pushing his hips forward, and then he shifted them in one direction or the other.' And it's like, 'How far forward did he go?' And then your measures will start to drop off. And you go, 'Wow, I'm really losing this. He's got to be so far forward in this direction.' And it's like, 'Which one is the biggest impact? That would be the biggest limiting factor.' And it's like, 'Oh, if he's way over that way, and he's way forward.' So I've got a guy that if I was doing traditional tests, and he's got like five degrees of hip abduction, and he's got no early flexion, he's got lousy straight leg raise, right? He's way over to the right. So which one is the greater limitation? It's like, 'I'm going to bring you back to center first, then move you back and then I can roll you onto your left side.'

Yes.
