Well, so to turn, we need expansion in some way, shape, or form. So expansion would be represented by our measures of external rotation. So first and foremost, it's like number one, can you turn? So the thing that we find out through development, so you guys probably played Pee Wee Football and all that kind of stuff. And as you were growing up, you kind of figured out, it's like, oh, look at my last name. I'm designed to be a quarterback, right? So structurally, you guys are quarterbacks, whether you like it or not, you're gonna, you're born to be quarterbacks. And so, and so is everybody else that becomes a great quarterback. So they all have a design. structurally that contributes to that level of performance. So structurally you're going to have a way that you're going to turn. So from a, it's very rare that somebody that becomes a throwing athlete or a rotational athlete does not demonstrate some capacity early in their development. right? It's like, you know, somebody doesn't walk walk into a college training room and suddenly become a quarterback. They've had some measure of success. So when you're training this individual, yes, you want, I want maximum force production out of all of my athletes based on what the demands are of their sport. I want it to be maximum. However, there are other elements in regards to the performance that are necessary. So if I am a quarterback, I have to be able to turn to us to a certain degree. So what we do is we have key performance indicators that we have to follow. Extra rotation is one of them as a representation of creating the spaces that we use to access motion. And so what you might do in the training process is you monitor those measures as you're applying the training methods that increase force production. And this is how it works. This is not predictable at all. And so we actually have to go through the process, but that's, that's what training is. You go through a process, you measure things on a regular basis to make sure that, yes, my force production is going up as expected, but I'm not giving up those things that I also need to perform. And so if, and I'm going to just throw out an example. So let's just say that you're a quarterback and you walk into the training room on day one and your bench press, your barbell bench press is 225 and then you train it up to 325 but you gave up 30 degrees of shoulder rotation in the process to get it, right? Because that requires to increase force production like that requires your ability to compress more, to squeeze more. So the superficial musculature, you gain hypertrophy, you gain force production, And that is a squeeze and a squeeze is what's going to steal the turns.
