  • Q & A for The 16% – How Does Your Foot Type Affect Your Squat & Deadlift

    Q & A for The 16% – How Does Your Foot Type Affect Your Squat & Deadlift

    I had a great call with a long-time family member working in high level sport.

    We covered a lot of ground including feet and some of the behaviors and capabilities of the 3 main foot types. I thought it would be useful to consider how the foot types may bias your performance in the gym, and how you can alter your training to influence your squat vs. deadlift performance. I’ll use the box squat as the exercise we can use to manipulate execution to support your training goals.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Why do you lose Hip Internal Rotation?

    Q & A for The 16% – Why do you lose Hip Internal Rotation?

    I have a question from the IFAST PT fellow, so grab your @neurocoffee for this one.

    From Austin: If somebody has limited hip IR, that would indicate anterior compression, however you have mentioned a loss of IR being due to compression below the level of the trochanter posteriorly. How do you determine whether compression is from the anterior or posterior aspect of the hip and limiting the IR? Have a great weekend! The podcast will be up Sunday.

    Attention IFAST University members: We have a Q & A on Monday.

    Coffee ‘n’ Coaches Conference Call – 7-9-20

    Happy Chips ’n’ Salsa Day! (Thursday!)

    Wow! We had a great Coffee ’n’ Coaches Conference Call this morning.

    As always, I had my @neurocoffee in hand!

    We covered a lot of ground from rehab issues like how to talk about pain to identifying the source of stiff big toe limitations all the way to performance training and transferring abilities to agility.

    :28 How to avoid personifying someone’s pain

    6:42 Commonalities between managing pain and weight loss

    10:38 Considerations and influences on outcomes

    11:23  Big toe limitations and pelvis orientation as an influence

    We could have kept talking for a couple hours with the way things were going.

    Here’s some useful highlights.

    Have a great day! Enjoy your chips ’n’ salsa. I will certainly be enjoying mine tonight!
