Question: Hi there, Bill!! This is Fabrizio from Italy. Hope you are fine. I would like to know what happens when you exhale on the way down of a “squatty squat” (goblet or Zercher plus heel wedge for example). Are you actually biasing an expansion/inhaled exercise variation towards a more compressed strategy in this case?? Is a pure vertical displacement on the way down still likely to happen or will the exhale make it harder for the sacrum to counternutate?? (doesn’t in fact the exhale entail sacrum nutation??)
Thank you, Bill. Please keep up the great work!!
Greetings from Italy. -Fabrizio
In this video: I explain how to avoid the compensatory breathing strategy associated with superficial muscle compression that can limit movement. I also explain how you move from inhalation/external rotation to exhalation/internal rotation and back to inhalation/external rotation as you squat. Please pardon the lack of eye contact as I was working off of two cameras.
