  • Q & A for The 16% – Understanding Models and Compressive Strategies that Limit Movement

    Q & A for The 16% – Understanding Models and Compressive Strategies that Limit Movement

    Grab your @neurocoffee for today’s Q&A.

    From Rachel:
    I’m having a hard time conceptualizing anterior/posterior compression. If an individual shows a posterior to anterior compressive strategy, they will lose ER of appendages. In my mind, if someone is compressing posteriorly, wouldn’t muscles (say, glute max, piriformis, traps) be concentrically oriented, wouldn’t this lead to gains of ER?

  • Q & A for the 16% – TFL Tightness Solution – Kettlebell Supine Arm Bar Video Explained

    Q & A for the 16% – TFL Tightness Solution – Kettlebell Supine Arm Bar Video Explained

    I have my @neurocoffee in hand. Here’s today’s Q&A.

    From John:
    I hope things are going well for you up there in Indianapolis. It’s rare a issue that I see but if you could cover what to do for a Left TFL that will not reduce tone, resisting comfortable loading patterns and driving anterior hip pain(burning). I’ve had three patients in a year with this issue and all of the hip extension and guided adduction I program doesn’t seem to connect.

    From Marcos:
    In the kettlebell arm-bar exercise you posted on insta 4.15, you advised externally rotating the shoulder on the inhale and internally rotating the shoulder on the exhale. This makes sense because those shoulder positions align with the breathing cycle. Could you discuss why we want to sequence the breathing pattern this way instead of staying at end range of shoulder internal/external rotation and breathing while in a static hold?

    Q & A for The 16% – Best Apps for Mind Mapping Models – Quarantine Wide ISA Training

    Grab your @neurocoffee and dig into today’s Q&A.

    From Charlie:
    I wanted to say thanks for putting out so much awesome content lately. You really are a gift to this field. I was thinking about you the other day in regards to your videos on drawing out your model and organizing things as you have done with note cards, etc. Although I certainly appreciate your analog approach, for those of us that gravitate towards more digital organization systems, I thought I would share two mind mapping platforms that I have found helpful: XMind and Mindomo. I have used both, but seem to be gravitating more towards Mindomo. You can create a topic, add subtopics, input articles, links, etc. At any rate, I thought those resources might be helpful for you our your students/padawans who need a way to map out their model.

    From Reggie:
    I appreciate all the great content you’ve been posting lately. My question is a “quarantine edition” one given that I’m looking for helpful wide ISA moves that can be done at home with limited equipment (dumbbell pairs ranging from 2-10 lbs; one 25 lb dumbbell; one 25 lb kettlebell; pads/books; weighted bands). I’m specifically looking for useful moves for the lower posterior thorax region, and then for the upper thorax. It seems that helpful moves involve unilateral movement with some rotational forces at play. I can see how this is done with a landmine press, or with a cable machine at a gym. With or without free weights, however? I’m struggling a bit here and would love to get your input.
