    Q & A for The 16% – Knee and Ankle Bulletproofing? Really?

    We’re talking about extreme end range of motion, so I hope you have your @neurocoffee ready.

    From Rachel:

    I have a question for the Q&A, which is following the recent theme of knees.

    Recently, I’ve been seeing more people popping up in the industry highly recommending huge amounts of end-range knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion to “bulletproof” knees.

    Is there any validity in this? If so—or if not—could you provide a perspective of these movement strategies as it relates to compression gradients or within the propulsion arc?

  • Q & A for The 16% – There’s No Sagittal or Frontal Plane Movement

    Q & A for The 16% – There’s No Sagittal or Frontal Plane Movement

    Here’s a tough one for ya! Better have a strong cup of @neurocoffee ready.

    From Alex:

    Thank you for the ongoing content, it has been revelationary in terms of my thinking towards movement.

    I’d watched your upload of the 6am Coaches Conference Call from this morning (apologies with the time delay between UK and USA, it put it directly at my 14 months nap time to attend in person at the moment!!!) and it was the first time I’d personally heard you discuss in depth the concept of “there is no sagittal plane” with regards to the example you gave about the calcaneus, talus and tibia, and the cancellation of rotations.

    I’m unsure as to whether you went into any more depth within the call itself, but I’d be incredibly interested in whether you could address this fully within a Q+A and how it applies to perceived motion in both the sagittal and frontal planes.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Strategies for Limited Shoulder External and Internal Shoulder Rotation

    Q & A for The 16% – Strategies for Limited Shoulder External and Internal Shoulder Rotation

    @neurocoffee to the rescue this morning!

    Here’s a great case of a wide ISA with a lot of compressive compensatory strategy to overcome.

    From Tommy:
    I’m a wide ISA individual who through years of hard exercise and too many extension based activities got pretty deep into the compensatory patterns. I’m limited in hip & shoulder ER & IR measurements and have difficulties turning. I’ve made some good progress (special thanks to the camporini deadlift), but I’m still dealing with an inability to get dorsal rostral expansion and the muscles at my upper back/neck constantly feel engaged. I’ve tried the “Terry project” move for dorsal rostral expansion but struggle to find success there because my shoulders want to immediately hike up. Lastly, my camporini angle (between the clavicle and scapula is way less than 60 degrees). I’ve tried the manual intervention that you posted to youtube on 12/13/2019, but that causes numbness and tingling down my arm and to my fingers in little time. Curious to get your thoughts as to where this leads me. Would it be wise to focus working from the bottom-up, or try to push through with dorsal rostral specific activities?

  • Q & A for The 16% – Medial vs. Lateral Knee Pain Explained

    Q & A for The 16% – Medial vs. Lateral Knee Pain Explained

    My @neurocoffee is perfect as usual, and I have a Q&A that came from yesterday’s call with The Intensive Group about knee pain.

    Typically, with either medial or lateral knee pain we’ll see a loss of relative motion in the segments of the lower extremity. When segments move together, different aspects of the system will eventually hit constraints of the knee joint. Depending on where the greatest load occurs, that’s where you’ll see the pain arise if it does. Your goal then, is to restore the relative movements of the lower extremity. I have a series of videos for medial and lateral knee pain available here on instagram and on my YouTube channel, so check those out if you need suggestions for treatment or training.
