Okay.

Back to front.

Let's do this. Give me a specific context and let's talk our way through and see if we can figure this out.

There are no backwards mechanics. Just take it off the table. There's no backwards. So if there's no backwards, I need strategies that slow me down. That's what we're talking about. So let me give you a for instance. Let's use the pelvis as an example. So in an early propulsive representation of the pelvis, which is extra rotation, inhaled representation, the sacrum moves backwards on the ilium. That creates a delay because it is an expansive representation. So it's expanding in the opposite direction that you are moving. And it slows that side down so the pelvis can continue to move forward. Because the reason that I always say propulsion is because propulsion is going forward. We're propelling ourselves forward. So you just need a shape. There's a shape that would promote the expansion that would create the delay. So in the pelvis, it's the counter-neutation of the sacrum moving backwards on the ilium. Which is a connective tissue expansion. Doesn't change the orientation of the pelvis.

Yeah, the second.

I have started taking students recently on their full-time rotations. As we go over different things, I write it down so they have it to reference later on. I definitely have found that really helpful in terms of cementing my understanding of things by writing.

It's a good way to think about it. Obviously, grab the left pocket.

Awesome. Thank you.

It's AP, right? It gets compressed AP. Strange, isn't it? Think about it. Anterior, posterior compression? Does that sound familiar?

Let's say we're talking about and go back to your fly example, go back to your flight.

OK.

Okay, so let's do this. What if we put her in a position where it's easier for her to get the outlet to go up? Now she doesn't have to rely on the superficial strategy. And she can just breathe normally or yeah. Well, you decide. See, this is where you become the great coach. And you say, OK, let me put you here. Just start breathing in whatever manner you think is appropriate. You say just start and then you change and then you tweak and then you change. So let's just say you got her like slightly inverted. You got her hips up a little bit higher than her shoulders. She's pushing through her arms, right? So our arms are overhead. So kind of the similar thing we were talking about a minute ago, right? You got her in that kind of a position. That's a squat, right? That's a variation of a squat, but it's upside down, right? So you're teaching her to push the outlet up, right? To concentrically orient her anterior outlet. And then maybe you can look her back up and get the same result. But at least you started her in a position where gravity was less of an issue. So she doesn't have to go back to the very beginning of this question. It's like, then she doesn't have to over recruit the superficial strategy for compression. Compression is important, yes. But I don't want somebody that squeezes the Bejesus out of themselves and then the outlet goes downward and you stuck them to the ground.

Yes. All of my students get a notebook. And I make them write it like with a pen and paper. Retention is better. Don't let them type into a computer.

Right, and then you fix that because you slowed the left side down and the right side's going to be able to go ahead. So now I can flip flop it.

Welcome, sir. That was good.

It is strange.

But let's formulate a question out of this. What problem are you trying to solve? We'll do this with the dumbbell fly thing. So this is with weight in your hands, correct?

So you just need a shape. There's a shape that would promote the expansion that would create the delay. So in the pelvis, it's the counter-neutation of the sacrum moving backwards on the ilium. Yes, which is a connective tissue expansion. Okay. Doesn't change the orientation of the pelvis. It just slows it down.

And she can just breathe normally or yeah.

They'll hate me.

Got it. Yeah. That's very helpful.

It always seems to go in that direction too. Like if you ever see MRIs of people with spinal stenosis in the lumbar spine, it tends to be an AP compression. I don't think I've ever seen one that was narrowed laterally. Do you think spinal stenosis is a bony shape change associated with a muscular strategy?

Yes, but I'm more trying to understand principles here. I really don't care for I couldn't care more for flies.

Right.

Well, you decide. See, this is where you become the great coach. And you say, 'Okay, let me put you here.' Just start breathing in whatever manner you think is appropriate. You say just start and then you change and then you tweak and then you change, right? So let's say you've got her slightly inverted. You've got her hips up a little bit higher than her shoulders. She's pushing through her arms, right? So her arms are overhead. So kind of the similar thing we were talking about a minute ago, right? You've got her in that kind of a position. That's a squat, right? That's a squat. It's a variation of a squat, but it's upside down, right? So you're teaching her to push the outlet up, right? To concentrically orient her anterior outlet. And then maybe you can look her back up and get the same result. But at least you started her in a position where gravity was less of an issue. So she doesn't have to go back to the very beginning of this question. It's like, then she doesn't have to over recruit the superficial strategy for compression. Compression is important, yes. But I don't want somebody that squeezes the Bejesus out of themselves and then the outlet goes downward and you stuck them to the ground.

Is that the Frederick Scott notebook? No, it's like retention is just better. So all the intensive people that are coming in June, they get a notebook because there's no manual. Yeah, they have to write.

Kyle's question about the delay strategy. Kyle goes, 'Oh, wait a minute. That's like the parachute on the dragster that I've never seen because I'm an American, but I don't know what drag racing is.' Sorry, Kyle. I'm just picking on you now.

I would say that.

It's understood, but we at least have a context so we can use it.

It just slows it down.
