Cause normally what I'm saying is over to the right.

Yeah.

Yeah. So it's going to look like that. Yeah. Cause that's the right oblique, isn't it?

Could they possibly get there at the same way?

OK, wonderful.

Okay. So if I push the left shoulder forward, I started on my side. We're going to talk about the thorax. So you're weighted on your right side. You push the left scapula forward. That's a later representation on the upside now, correct? If I'm doing it very slowly, and maintaining the expansion into the ground on the right side, that's going to create the delay strategy because it's not moving as fast as the top. As I move back to the starting position, if I emphasize the ground contact from the ground up, don't pull the left side back. Because if I pull the left side back, I'm just doing a refrigerator roll and I'm going to face straight up. What I have to do is maintain the pressure into the ground, the expansion into the ground, and slowly bring the expansion back from the ground upward. Because if I pull, the minute I try to pull the scapula back, that's retraction, that's AP compression, that's scapular elevation, that's ER orientation. You have to look at where the pressures are, you have to look at where the expansion is, because it's the shape that you're trying to acquire.

Yeah. Because, again, it's kind of like we were talking about compensatory strategies. If you understand the sequence of events that got you there, then you can reverse engineer the sequence of events to get out of it.

So you start there. So now I'm going to do a PNF diagonal. There's my late. There's my early. There's my late. You see it. Then I take the arm and start to superimpose the arm motion on the other side, driving early and late representations from right side to left side, all going into his hand. So if he can support himself through the shoulder, maybe you've got to support the elbow initially to give him that sensation of compression through that side, because he's got to be able to compress here. He's got to learn how to feel the compression through the extremity from proximal to distal. Okay. And then he'll get that.

I wanted to ask you about the breathing you explained regarding cueing breathing during positional drills or floor-based rehab exercises. As I understand it after your talk on Monday, I cannot see a scenario where I would cue a long, prolonged exhale because that would result in superficial compression of the musculature. If my goal is relative motion—which is typically when I have someone on a table and am trying to capture the experience—I cannot see when I would use that approach.

Yep.

Okay. We just did.

Where are you right now?

Right. So, and you can use your split squat as your representation of that.

And I'm not. So, how do I begin to transition that? I just explained that?

It would be more helpful if I was still with her, but so is this a situation in which she's medially rotated side to side? Okay. Would it be a situation in which actually now keep going?

Yes, of course I do. When you've got the left foot on the wall, cue them to drive the right knee harder. When you've got the right foot on the wall, cue them to drive the right elbow harder. I can remember that. Awesome. When I say, and then... It's a very small adjustment. It's a very small adjustment, but it will prevent, so sometimes when, and again, a lot of it has to do with how you set this thing up to make sure that they're not driving, because they will try to drive late propulsion on the left side when the left foot's on the wall, right? That's what they're gonna try to do. Right. Okay. If I drive the right knee just a little bit harder, even if they're using a compensatory strategy to get there, the compensatory strategy turns them to the left. As long as I capture my left foot cues, as long as I capture the left foot cues, I can't, it'll stop them from orienting.

Yeah, and I was thinking of a comment Manuel made about what would be a way to combine the effects of the elastic and the weight releases. So I was thinking, could you do like a chop with a band that kind of pushes you into a cut, then you release the band and push out of it? Would that be where you would get the acceleration and kind of get that yield into the side that you're cutting into, and then be able to come out of that? You're doing a chop, which is an unweighting activity. Or not a chop, but just have a band at a diagonal behind you so you get that pulling you into it. Correct.

Right.

Okay.

Yeah.

That's direct access to me and Mike Robertson. We talk about this all the time. I'm on calls like twice a month with that. Plus we're going to be shooting a bunch of video tomorrow that we're going to be posting. So you'll have access to all those. And then you're in a Facebook group with a whole bunch of other people that are on IFast too, and you get to ask questions every day if you want.

that are internally rotating the distal tibia.

Because we brought him up. What he had done was a bunch of scapular muscle exercises in an effort to actually fix his posture. What it did is it created the compression that drove him downward. So again, we just had to reverse gear. We did a lot of rib cage mobilization. We did a lot of breathing to start to create the anterior expansion, which allowed him the capacity to release the anterior superficial musculature and allowed him to become more upright. Then we worked the dorsal rostral expansion.

All right. So let's think about this. Is she swayed forward a little bit on that left side? So she swayed forward. She's got a flat DR.

Part of my question was, hang on, sorry. So the goal is to eliminate those possibilities. Like literally, could I just drop somebody onto their feet regardless of archetype and capture everything and everything to go well? Absolutely. Absolutely. So I'm not really disagreeing with you here. But what I want you to see is that from a sequencing standpoint, how you get from point A to point B is an issue. And it may be not every time.

Yeah.

Like if I saw somebody that was just compressed on the left and forward, they would be kind of side bending on that left side, getting pushed down and forward. And then, but if they get to the right, I think you're on point with that. Yeah. I mean, you just, you see it. Yeah, he's gonna be on the edge of the toe. And I see that when I see lifters who are narrow and push forward and left when they have extension they have that same kind of foot orientation there.

And then we'll go back.

Yeah. Okay.

No, they can't get there.
