OK. Which hip is going faster forward?

So you're telling me that heavy sets of three and the RDL or a deadlift aren't going to do any good for a quarterback?

So as far as addressing this, I would assume starting

Like if you had her on the floor. You put her in a symmetrical prone. Just tip it a little bit.

Morning. Greetings. So I'm wondering if you can influence any bony adaptations that might happen, like any sort of bias transfer process in the lumbar, cervical, thoracic spine with PA (posterior-anterior) modes or rotational modes or something like that. I mean, we talk about don't have patients hunched over and how you can affect those. So I'm just wondering if there's any going on.

A step up is a single leg exercise. That's on a single leg. Right. You can do like a single leg deadlift if your deadlift consists of that kind of thing. There's really not a whole lot going on from a single leg standpoint as far as exercise selection is concerned. However, a cross connector exercise is representative of a single leg extension with less gravity demand. That's why you would use those things—to acquire that early representation and capture the internal rotation that comes right after it. Activities that are shorter duration, single leg stance, like marching, resemble a standing cross connector. So these types of dynamic activities tend to be a nice transition. Just to teach people to push into the floor and demonstrate control of the pelvis in space so they're not using compensatory strategies just to pick up one foot.

Where my finger is?

Yeah. Of course. Okay. I get that. All right. So he can go up to a table, get his left hand on the table, and learn how to do what we just talked about. He can use his walker and just stand there and do it. You just need to give him cues that he can understand and execute.

Okay.

Okay.

Hang on, hang on, hang on. That's not fair, okay? You made a change, you just now know what change you made. That might be favorable in certain circumstances. It just means that you didn't finish the job if relative motion is the goal.

Right. Got it. So next P breath hold would have the least amount of movement, but the impulse would be very, very high. Release it and then there's your velocity.

In what context?

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that it may be beneficial for a while, but at some point in time, it may become interference versus, and again, this becomes the monitoring process. This is how you train people, right? You don't write a 12 week program and say, you're gonna be, you know, it's like, it's back in the olden days before you guys were born. It's like, you know, 1985 Flex Magazine, you buy a 12 week program that promises you the 300 pound bench press. It's like, they can't. They don't even know. And it's like they sell a thousand of them and then like 18 guys do bench press 300 pounds and those are the ones that get their picture in the magazine.

Where would you start? Okay, so you've got internal force management and you've got external force management. Which one do you think you have to control first?

Yes.

Yeah. There you go. Problem solved. Yes, you can. Okay, okay, hang on, hang on, hang on. So let's talk about this because it falls into like a little bit of a generalized category in regards to the application of manual therapies, right? So what kind of a force are you going to be applying under almost all circumstances?

Do you think that you would want to start with the ability to hold the top of an A-march? before the heel breaks, or actually I don't really know when they marches, but I'll get to that. But do you want to start with the position and then go to the dynamic activity?

Yeah.

So I have what feels like a clarifying question, but what's that?

Extreme, extreme, extreme, extreme. Bad idea. Bad idea.

You know, stuff's not funny, but they always finish with a laugh, right?

That's not fair.

So, sometimes I've seen you do bands with a hanging weight. The band is not attached to a rack or anything—it's free flowing, but it's going over the bar where there's a kettlebell on the bar. What's going on with the guts in that application?

In the velocity in the world. Which one's going faster forward?

So from an interaction standpoint, you would want to put somebody who has that concentric bias in those stiffer tissues, you would want to... Early or late, right?

Probably internal.

You put her in a symmetrical prone. Just tip it a little bit.

PA?

So think about what you can do here that still has an element of support. So if I take a really high box and I put your foot up on the high box, you're in a single leg position, you're sort of in it. I mean, it's a two-foot contact obviously, but from a positional standpoint, you're driving the internal rotation into the ground on the down leg. So what you may do here is you have a whole world of activities that you can apply here as a transition. So you can do your chops here. You can do lifts here. You can do presses. You can take your pick. If they've got the full excursion, you can do an overhead press in this position. So you're starting to teach them how to drive internal rotation into the ground, because that's what they're going to have to do to hold their position. Otherwise, when they pick up their foot, the pelvis is going to drop, you're going to see the turns that you probably don't want to see. And so you have to train them to maintain the compressed position, if you will, in the single leg stance so they can hold position.
