Question: You’ve mentioned that different portions of the shoulder flexion are related to expansion of different parts of the ribcage. Is there a hip flexion arc that expands different parts of the body? Or is this concept only in shoulder flexion?
In this video:
I offer a look at how hip flexion mirrors shoulder flexion in regard to its position toward inhalation/external rotation and exhalation/internal rotation.
In the Q & A video from below, you mention that when you get an anterior compression of the front of the pelvis, you will get a shape change that will steal IR and increase concentric orientation of the posterior musculature. I’m having trouble visualizing this orientation of the ilium and how this would increase compensatory concentric orientation of posterior musculature.
Question #2
Why would someone who has an extremely narrow ISA present with excessive hip IR, and very limited hip ER ?? This person exhibits an excessive lumbar lordosis, is a fantastic squatter, and can rest in the squat position for long periods of time. They also exhibit very pronounced bilateral leg whip when running. Should we not expect to see the opposite measures, very limited hip IR, not Limited ER is this situation ??
In this video, I explain how the pelvis may change shape to result in a loss of hip internal rotation. I also show how a relative change for a narrow infrasternal angle coupled with an anterior orientation of the pelvis will result in extreme hip internal rotation.
My question is about best practices when it comes to learning. From your teachings and others, I have come to see that humans are complex adaptive systems made up of a multitude of many systems interacting. Not only must we know the whole, but it pays to understand the sum of its parts, in this way it’s best to take a pluralistic approach to training individuals.
When we look at the formal way most education systems tackle the complexity of the human system, it is that of a reductionist approach where the systems are broken down into their parts, studied, “learnt”, and then move onto the next system, without much thought of how it interacts with the system as a whole. For the most part, it is a practice of rote memorisation without any context to ground it to the individual.
From reading Make It Stick, I understand that it is best to practice interleaving and varied practice (to name but a few) but how do you decide where and what to study with such a complex subject? I often find myself getting overwhelmed with all there is and all I want to learn that it almost becomes impossible to start.
I know you have developed your system to help make things simple for your practice and I was wondering if you had any advice when it came to what would be best for foundational knowledge that anyone who wished to understand and train people should know.

How to organize your learning. There is not one way but feel free to use mine.
Mindmap – Identify what you know, what is related, what questions do you have?
Resources – ask Dr. Google, read, tab, underline, etc.
Notecard – create a resource card so you know where you got a piece of information. Number the resource. Create a notecard with information you find useful or important (include the resource number).
Categorize – organize notecards by topic, project, or any other systematic approach.
Update your mindmaps on a regular basis to identify new gaps in understanding. Write about or teach what you think you know.
This provides embedded testing to keep your learning fresh and progressive.
