So a golfer in my mind would be, in most cases, better off working on a unilateral like a lighter resistance activity, so they maintain that differential.

Right.

Or if someone's sidelined, the lowest portion is going to fill.

The early hip ER drops off faster on the left in a narrow stance. It drops off faster on the right with a wide, early stance. So this is in front of the body. This is the ER measurement in front of the body. Your hip reduction measure is a late yard measure, right? So if I have an arrow on the table, first move, early hip ER drops off, but late hip ER might be magnified.

I see, because the form now is the other now.

Dead center middle propulsion. You will orient forward. Yes, you're going to orient. But what if I squeeze you front to back? What directions can you move? To the side. Sideways. What do you think a Trendelenburg is? Exactly, yes. A Trendelenburg is an ERD pelvis with anterior, posterior compressor strategy and an anterior orientation. It's a turn into the ground. It's really an attempt to push into the ground with a low pressure pelvis representation. But there's only one place that the expansion is allowed in that sideways. So that's why you move in that direction. But it's a twist inward in an attempt to push down.

Yeah.

Okay. So I'm pushing you away from the arm and then you're going to recoil back towards it.

Pulling on whatever. I like that. OK.

Okay. So where was, before you did the intervention, or you did the hook line. Where was her ER? Her ER was through the lumbar spine. I'm sorry, space, ER space. Up to the side.

Does that make sense?

All right. Lacks internal rotation. He lacks shoulder flexion at our level. We do table tests, but we try to do more like active tests, like back against the wall type. So what we've seen is just he stands already with his arm bent. His arm can't relax and go down. He's wide, very strong guy, lots of training experience. And the Tommy John, he had had surgery.

So this one's going up. This one has a delay in it. This one's going faster in this direction. This one's not going as fast in the same direction. Therefore everything goes in that direction.

Yeah, but keep in mind that you've got a connective tissue behavior going on here. So the box is going to stop the outlet wherever the box is, right? Yeah. All right. And then if you reload onto the box, you've got a yield, you've got an energy storage element there, depending on how long you leave on the box, they're getting a recoil under that circumstance as well. You superimpose the forceful exhale as they leave the box. Now you've ramped up to concentric orientation and you get even more of the energy release available to you because they're sort of stiffening the connect, or yeah, they're stiffening the connector tissues as they're coming off the box.

Uh, performance. Yeah.

That's his pelvis. That's his pelvis moving away from that space.

Uh huh.

Good morning. Happy Monday. I have neural coffee in hand and it is perfect. All right, a very busy Monday coming up. First, a little housekeeping: invitations to the intensive 20 went out last night. So if you did apply, please check your email for the invitation. If you did not receive an invitation in your email this morning, you didn't make the cut this time, but please keep applying. Many people that have actually made it to the intensive have applied on multiple occasions. It is exceptionally difficult to pick eight people from all the applications because some of them are really, really good. It comes down to a little head-to-head thingy at the end on who's going to come. So I appreciate everybody that has the interest. Please sign up on the mentorship list at the end of any blog. We're going to try to expand a little bit of the communication through that list as well. So be prepared for that. But again, intensive 20 applications or invitations went out last night. Digging into these Q&A, this was Matt. The foundation of this question has to do with a high oblique set, but the thing that I want you to recognize here is that it's a little bit deeper than that. This lends itself to understanding that for every activity that you perform, you need to have an intention. You have to have a reason for doing it. We don't want to be random with our application. You need to understand that there is a superimposition of ERs and IRs at all times, and the setup and execution of the exercise are going to matter as one or the other will be demonstrated to a greater degree depending on your intention. So again, we don't want to be random with our applications and programming. So this is a great question for those of you that are still trying to grasp how important the setup of an activity is, as well as the execution. Thank you, everybody. Have an outstanding Monday, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Not so much.

Yeah, and you would have to

There's no question about that. And it's like having hung out with you for a little bit, I understand. I understand how difficult it is to be Matt Hamilton, you know, living the life that you do on the ranch and all. So just think that through for a second. Okay, so you're going to put a big heavy barbell on you. Are you going to get tall? Are you going to get shorter? Sure. Right. Straight down into the ground, right? Okay. Cool. As you step forward, this right foot, as we were talking about, and you start to put weight down, and you come over top of the leg, but that's the general gravity moving forward over the foot. That makes sense, right? Yep. Okay. Do you think you're getting taller or do you think you're getting shorter? Sure. Yeah. Okay. And then as you pass over that leg, and you start to take the weight off again and you're pushing off that foot to shift your weight over to the other side. Do you think that leg is getting longer or shorter?

Yeah.

It's upstairs.

Yep.

So you can do the cuboid whip. Could you also, I mean, I assume you can also just apply some pressure. Tell them to breathe it out.

You can look at it that way. I would hesitate to use the relaxed term because if I'm setting someone up and let's just say I'm putting them in a hook lying activity because when they stand up they can't reduce the motor output. So I lay them on their back. So I'm capturing certain sensations that would promote a shape change and muscle activity that would allow me to access the connective tissue behaviors that I want for an early propulsive strategy. Okay, so again, it's a combination of factors. It's like, okay, I got to deal with gravity. I've got forces that are inside of me that I've got to control. I've got forces outside of me that I've got to control. If I can capture the right sensation, so that might be a foot contact, that might be a pelvis contact on the table, right? That might be the way that I inhale and exhale, like all of those things come into play to promote the desired output or behavior. So that's what we're doing is we're trying to provide the appropriate inputs to get the behavior we want. And so all we're doing is manipulating the influences. Some people can do it standing up right away. Some people can't. Some people need manual therapy to feel what we want them to feel so they create the right output.

Yeah.

So it would be categorized in traditional standards as plyometric behaviors.

Oh, you're literally going upstairs.

Thank you. Oh, good. All right. I know who it is. One second. I got it.
