That's the yielding action. So the parachute is the yield on one side. So it has to expand on one side so the other side can compress and go faster. So that's how it gets ahead. And that's connective tissues that are creating that behavior. Because both sides are still going forward. It's just that one side's going forward faster. So if both sides are going forward, I have to have concentric activity on both sides, but I have concentric yielding on one side and that allows the other side to get ahead. You see it?

I think that's the biggest problem that we see right now in the field and the culture of football is that you go into a high school weight room as a freshman and it's bench, squat, clean and some sort of hinge, whether it's an RDL or deadlift, whatever it may be. But when it comes to the development of the athlete at that point, it's probably great. But if you're quarterback, maybe, maybe not, you know, based off of where you're at and your body type.

Maintaining a space to move into and producing force into the ground. So you have to have both strategies. Like under every circumstance, anybody that can move through space is creating external rotations and internal rotations. It just might not be at the joint.

I do mobs.

All right. What do you want her to do as a breathing strategy with as a breathing strategy? What do you want her to do as she's doing this high box squat in the staggered stance?

Got it. So into my mind, you would still need to also, in addition to the internal rotation, have full external rotation capabilities only because the same thing that you're saying, you need more relative motion to do something with less relative motion.

Nice. Some morning practice.

And then, the last part is basically where the thorax is compressed anteroposteriorly, and you're putting force into the ground. The last part is going to be the scapula going towards external rotation again. Yes, but you're not getting a re-expansion of the thorax, because the scapula has to be pushing the thorax forward. So you have to get expansion anteriorly. How does that work?

He's someone you wouldn't dose like an MS patient where you do a show, you're like, do as many as you possibly can until you can.

And that's what I've been doing. But now thinking about it, yeah, if I okay.

Does she sigh a lot?

No.

Yeah, that makes sense.

Okay.

Right. And that does matter. So for instance, if, and this is a really, really simple representation, when you have somebody that presents as structurally a narrow, intersternal angle individual, so they turn on a steeper helical axis, which means that they are a lousy deadlifter. They're not designed for it. But yet, if the programming says today's your RDL day, they still have to do it. And again, that's one of those mistakes. And again, maybe for a while it's okay. Maybe it's beneficial for a while, but that's why we have to monitor this. But you can't just throw a generalized program. And I think team training is one of the hardest things in the entire strength and conditioning field because of that. It's like you got one coach and maybe a couple of assistants or maybe an intern, and then you got 120 players.

That's where it gets tricky is when the bone starts.

Okay, so, if you think about like the prone or a half prone position, capture that medial knee position. Right. She'll start to superimpose some internal rotation on that. You'll probably get a reduction in the gracilis activity.

I would like for her to inhale going down and exhale going up.

You have to start with it because again, it's like as soon as you pick up the other leg, you got to squeeze it like your pelvis as a ring would compress into a tighter circle if you could look at it that way.

I just hope you will see it fine. So lie with your head towards the camera. Okay. So head towards the camera. I want to see the top of your head.

You're pushing, so you're in the pelvis, the ilium is pushing the sacral base forward from behind. In the thorax, the scapula is pushing the dorsal rostral on that side forward from behind, which would create the turn.

Well, you don't want to drive fatigue because then you lose quality. What I'm talking about is exposures. It's not like we're going to do a thousand reps today. It's like, no, we're going to do 10 and then 10 and then 10 and then 10 and then 10. So chances are you're seeing them twice a day.

So remember two things. Let's go back to the Collins manual stuff where he said, 'I'm gonna force the expansion, right?' If you force an inhale or force an exhale, you have just made a mistake because anything that is forced is going to require the increased recruitment of muscle activity that is interference to relative motion. Because that's how you play a sport. That's how you lift something heavy is you use the forced activities because you need the higher force output. Relative motion cannot be forced. So the minute you overshoot the breath, the minute you overshoot the inhale, you're really sticking them right back where they came from, which is the mistake.

Maybe. Yes. She has this kind of appearance and she looks very barrel-chested. And it appears that over the course of a session, her whole disposition changes.

No, so they're already moved, right? The pelvis already moved and then you're going to turn that hip to bring it up into your traditional measurement position. So you already moved the pelvis yourself when you brought them into position, you see it?

It's like towing. You know what I mean? You've ever seen like the overspeed with rubber bands where people do towing and they think it makes people fast. They tend to put the brakes on those circumstances. And so it tends to not be a great strategy under most circumstances. And so this way though, she can feel the impulse.

So that's how it gets ahead. And that's connective tissues that are creating that behavior. Because both sides are still going forward. It's just that one side's going forward faster. So if both sides are going forward, I have to have concentric activity on both sides, but I have concentric yielding on one side and that allows the other side to get ahead. You see it?

What do you live with that?

It kind of sucks. But think about it. It's like, what bone doesn't change shape?

Okay. So I've been using half prone since you did that demo with Drew. She definitely struggles to capture the medial knee in that. So if I would have, I try to prop her upper body up a little bit more.
