Q & A for the 16% – Suitcase Carry Cues and Toe Touch for Inhalation or Exhalation Strategies
2 Questions:
Could you explain how you cue the suitcase carry? Do you want to see scap retraction and depression? And does it expand the anterior upper ribs, and compress the posterior upper ribs?
Would you expect an individual to benefit from both biasing their feet towards inhalation and exhalation? Through self-testing I have found that elevating the heel relative to the toes helps me improve my squat. This made sense to me as someone with just above 90 degrees ISA I considered myself a wide ISA that needed to bias myself towards inhalation and counter nutation of the sacrum in my training. I was, however, then surprised to find that your exercises to improve hip internal rotation where you elevate toes relative to the heel had instant results on retesting ie I could touch my toes easily on retest (inches away before intervention). In this video: Explaining how the suitcase carry improves shoulder internal rotation and what cues are best. Why you can benefit from activities biased toward both inhalation and exhalation.

Q & A for The 16% – Early, Mid, and Late Propulsion of the Gait Cycle
Question: The question I have is regarding the gait cycle and the compression arc. Would you be able to give a demonstration (using a pelvis model) of the orientation of the spine, pelvis, and femur at each stage of propulsion?
In this video: I break down the gait cycle from inside the pelvis outward to clarify segmenting early, mid, and late propulsion phases.

Q & A for The 16% – Deadlift Compensation and Pelvic Outlet Mechanics
Question: If someone is unable to move hips backward further in a deadlift, ended up rounding the lumbar spine, does it indicate an inability to further nutate sacrum and create compression at the pelvic diaphragm, or does it mean he is not eccentrically orienting enough the pelvic diaphragm to allow actions to happen?
Thank you
