Good morning. I have neural coffee in hand and it is perfect.

I just wanted to go over what should happen in normal tidal breathing and then how that can change under circumstances where someone's trying to carry a load or someone's trying to increase their oxygen flow in carbon dioxide flow out. Okay, so where do you want to start? So let's start with normal.

The posterior aspect, you said?

I have a very basic question regarding the lengthening of the right side in a narrow. So too many questions that you answered about people with the rectus strategy.

Yeah, I was just basically the first time I've been here and super nervous to ask me the question. I'm a powerlifter. And today my question is, I seem like a narrow type. I really want to increase the sumo deadlift because I want to be at the top level. So what do you think about the strategy for that, for increasing the sumo deadlift?

Morning. Really? So I have a question about basically, you're trying to bring someone back and they have a lot of abdominal scarring from prior surgeries. I assume it's negative influence.

I've always got a bunch of questions, but I'll pick one that might be of some general interest. It's a bit of a complaint that I've got because I work with a lot of clients who go and see more conventional practitioners. So I'm faced with the stretch and strength and crowd discussion on a pretty regular basis. Just to give you an example, I have a client at the moment who has a significant interior orientation. He's an older guy, probably around 50, but he can still pull 500 pounds off the ground pretty much every week. He goes to an exercise physiologist or physiotherapist and they tell him he's got weak hamstrings because he's got an interior orientation. I'm just thinking there must be something they've based this on. I never went to PT school like you guys did, so where does this come from? Where is the notion? Where are the studies? When you look at EMG studies on standing posture, hamstring activity is almost nothing. So where does this notion come from—that I can pull 200 kilos off the floor, but I can't straighten my pelvis because my hamstrings are too weak? It doesn't make any sense.

So I have a question regarding elongating bones using the late representation.

No, it's just laying on the ground, actually.

Good morning, Bill. Greetings. I've got a question for you on what I believe is a Patellar tracking issue. I've got a 30-year-old male who loves to play soccer and lifts a lot. He has about 75 degrees of external rotation in the hips bilaterally, and only about 10 degrees of internal rotation. He's very strong. His shoulders have a similar presentation or orientation, with significant external rotation. His feet are also significantly externally rotated. When he squats, he's very far out everywhere in his body. So what I'm thinking is that he doesn't have the space to move through internal rotation or... well, okay.

All right, we've got some Thanksgiving people on here.

Okay. So, I have a question about pushing right to left for an arrow. Is it fair to say that, to do this effectively, we need to bias pressure toward the first met head with an orientation of an anterior pelvic outlet, so water flows out and forward on the left.

Morning. I've been trying to dive into some cranial stuff lately and figured out that positioning. Then I had a patient come in the other day whose ears were very different in position during a head-down forward scenario. He was young and had no particular issues, but it got me wondering what happens to the vestibular apparatus and different systems with different positioning like that, and how much that would affect them.

Yeah, if no one else did, I'll fill the time. So trap bar versus a squat. So I'm thinking about one of our female teams here. If you were to line them up and pick out the narrowest and tiniest of narrows, most of them have some back pain complaint, and their program is pretty trap bar heavy. I believe I have you on record, but I won't hold you to it, that you'd almost never trap a narrow with the fear of prolonging that middle propulsive phase too much. I was just trying to think about, we can obviously squat narrows without necessarily prolonging that middle propulsive phase too much if done correctly, but I'm trying to think about truly what is the difference? Obviously I know what the trap bar is—I'm starting from the floor. With the squat, I have some tension coming down before I come up, but I was hoping you could hash that out. If I were to look at it purely from a joint angle standpoint, it probably gets someone to hit pretty similar positions. If you look from the bottom up, but I'm trying to figure out what's truly differentiating the squat and what can I manipulate to make that a more acceptable and better exercise for these narrows.

Yeah, turn. This was maybe the first time I'd seen such a blatant leftward turn.

All right, then.

When we were talking about the high obliquity, yes. And the right leg is extended in front of us. I don't know if I understood correctly, but I imagine that when you capture the position, you would want to drive the left knee a little bit forward to delay the right side a little bit to get the expansion or no.

All right. I just have a little follow-up on this knee discussion that we just had. And it's regarding the late representation of the knee. So when someone has pain on the medial side of the knee when they try to extend it, I'm just curious whether it's like too much of a twist in the tibia that makes the fluid shift in the anterior medial part that causes the pain.

I have a question about anterior orientations. I was watching one of your videos on YouTube, and one of your suggestions for them was putting them in positions that move them closer towards the end of the propulsion spectrum, like early ERN. Or late on one side, early on one side, maybe like a mountain climber or a step up. The only issue I could see with that is if they don't have the hip flexion to get into the position on one side. So what would you do in that scenario? What would be an alternative position?

Good morning, Bill. I've got a question, and it's probably a very quick one, I guess, for some people. But for me, I still find it a little bit confusing. I'm trying to reconcile in my mind when we get towards end game presentations in narrows or wides, what the phase of propulsion looks like in one side of the body compared to the other side of the body during that end. So when we end up say we're going to a wide, I say heavy over on the right oblique, push right forward. To me, when I sort of look at that, I'm thinking in my mind that we're sort of later on the left-hand side than we are on the right-hand side, being pushed from the back initially and then over onto the right. What I don't quite get is when we end up over on that right oblique—if I was to look at that in respect to like a gate cycle, I would think that my sacral orientation would be kind of leading into the early phase on the right, with the leg pointing to the left. So the axial skeleton turning to the left in a right step, for instance.

My question is regarding scoliosis representation. I was reading about it and wanted to ask what is the main factor that makes someone more prone to developing exaggerated curves because we all have them, but some are visible with the naked eye. I was wondering what factor makes them more prone to getting those curves.

Well, it sounds like you have the same answer for everything. So sorry. What's the sign? So when you have a twist in the distal tibia, like an IR twist, I'm wondering how that's represented in the sacrum. And I'm wondering if that's like some kind of like concentric muscle activity posteriorly that kind of like, I don't know, almost folds it a little bit in. That's sort of what happens.

So basically Alex asked this question a few weeks ago, and then it sort of goes with Jen's question. I lost a lot of sleep last night thinking about the foldable Mitsu. I was thinking about Jen's picture case, where there's a narrow stance, and the activities aren't working. So I'm trying to use manual intervention to shape the ribs and pelvis to initiate an actual turn on the right side. In that case, their ribs are somewhat flared or straight. I think you need to apply a helical pattern, so I stand behind them, trying to tuck the ribs back in. Once we're there, and they still appear with the right side down, but it's just multiple twists on the ribcage, I'm trying to figure out what to do next to help get some AP expansion on that right side.

Good morning. Greetings. In the same way that you can lie on the side, push on their pelvis and roll them forward and back to get AP expansion, I figured it's relatively easy if you're holding someone's foot to do something similar - just apply pressure in such a way as they move that you would get the AP expansion in the foot. I'm just not sure what it is. Perhaps you've covered this already.

So I have a series of many questions about muscle activities and connective tissue behaviors.

I have neural coffee in hand and It is perfect All right, well, obviously that wasn't me. That was Matt from Australia who is here for the Intensive 18. We just wrapped that up over the weekend. Arguably one of the most intensive intensive. We had some returning people, so it got really, really deep, really, really quickly, but it was a great time. Thank you all for being here. I truly appreciate you. Intensive 19, obviously applications are closed. We're going to be picking those here within the next couple of days. So if you did apply, please be looking in your emails. I think I put the deadline at August 4th in letting you guys know about that. Digging into today's Q&A. This is with Manuel. It's going to be a great foundational question for a lot of people because we covered a lot of ground in a relatively short period of time, basically talking about the shape change that takes place in the pelvis during the squat and the directionality of the internal and external rotations. And so if you're having trouble with understanding how we actually change shape, As you're passing through the spot, there's gonna be a great call for you. Apologies for not getting the podcast up over the weekend. It was a really long, hard intensive, but in such a good way. But energy was low, so we'll probably get that up a little bit later today for all of you there. Appreciate you all. Everybody have an outstanding Monday, and I will see you tomorrow.

So, how do sprinting or jumping in basketball connect with the gym? What kind of exercise selection do you need to improve those things? Is it like heavier weight and lower reps? Is it like more explosive type of training?

In respect to the carries, I've been trying to get my head around exactly what's taking place aside from, for instance, we're looking at a specific example, left suitcase carry. In respect to a left suitcase carry, I'm guessing that anything that is left of the midline, even if it is in the base of support, is going to promote some degree of internal rotation on the opposing side and toward internal rotation. Obviously, the further we go, we're going to promote more internal rotation on one side, but we will run the risk of a complete orientation in respect to potentially having it sort of too far outside the base of support.

No, we're going to venture into just normal PT land with low back pain.

Happy Tuesday.
