    • Balance as an element of return to play

    • Decision-making and mental models

  • Q & A for The 16% – What Causes the Hip Shift in Your Squat – Left or Right?

    Q & A for The 16% – What Causes the Hip Shift in Your Squat – Left or Right?

    Want to know why your hips shift to the left or to the right when you back squat?

    Grab your @neurocoffee.

    From Domen (and others!):
    Would you be so kind to elaborate a bit more on two different squat variations you posted on the Instagram. The ones a person can use if there is a hip shift during the squat. This should get you started. After you watch this, watch the solution videos to the right hips shift or the left hip shift in your squat

  • Q & A for The 16% – Will Wide Infrasternal Angles Benefit from Side Plank or Inversion?

    Q & A for The 16% – Will Wide Infrasternal Angles Benefit from Side Plank or Inversion?

    Grab your @neurocoffee for this morning’s Q & A for The 16%…

    From Michael:
    I’ve heard you say that you would side plank a wide ISA. Can you go into detail about why  and what effect it has on the ribcage?  Also, can you give some side plank examples you would use? Progressions, regressions?

    From Rondel:
    I asked a question about expansion in the upper thorax [on the IFAST U Q & A], and I would like to get clarification, if possible. Let me know if I got this correct.  Wide: Face-up: what exercises specifically?  Narrow: Facedown: what exercises specifically?

    From Sasha:
    I do have a question pertaining to the shoulder going into extension being an external rotation moment, unless you are reaching across the midline. Would that fly in the face of what is commonly taught? Have an outstanding day!

  • Q & A for The 16% – Heavy Presses, Chin-ups, and Suspension Trainers to Increase Mobility?

    Q & A for The 16% – Heavy Presses, Chin-ups, and Suspension Trainers to Increase Mobility?

    Grab your @neurocoffee and have a listen to todays Q & A.

    From Thomas:
    In your Q and A from November 3rd someone wrote in who was trying to reestablish eccentric orientation. He noted he was trying not to focus on compressive exercises like deadlift and bench and was trying to focus on exercises like chin-ups and presses. You mentioned that the chin and presses were actually compressive because of their bilateral nature. Are there variations of those exercises(chins/presses) one could use to try to recapture eccentric orientation? Im guessing the examples you performed in the expanding the upper rib cage video would help someone with a wide isa reestablish eccentric orientation but was wondering what some other options could be?

    From Shyam:
    Can you talk about the  power push-up rotating handle and how one can bias shoulder IR and ER improvements? Also would this be similar  to using rings for pull-ups and how you could manipulate breathing with supination/Er and pronation/Ir to get expansion and shoulder range changes?
