Q & A for The 16% – Can You Make a Narrow Infrasternal Angle into a Wide Infrasternal Angle?
Question: Is it possible that a narrow ISA became wide ISA after prolonged period of compressive training(ie powerlifting)? If so, will you treat them as narrow or wide?
Question 2: I’ll second this question, phrased differently can a narrow ISA present with a wide ISA measure and would to total shape of the rib cage be a sign of this?
In this video: I review how physical structure determine the narrow infrasternal angle and whether training can alter this structure to turn a narrow ISA into a Wide ISA.

Q & A for The 16% – Wide ISA Compensations – Improving Hip Internal Rotation
Question: Based on your recent post on instagram about the end of the line compensatory sequence for a wide ISA, how would you begin to intervene with an individual who has the posterior compression in the upper posterior pelvis as well as the concentric orientation of lower glute max?
In this video:
I show you several ways to create expansion in the posterior aspect of the pelvis to promote increases in hip internal rotation that may benefit those with a wide infrasternal angle.

Q & A for The 16% – Increasing Shoulder External Rotation – Upper Back (Dorsal Rostral) Expansion
Question: I want to say I love your content and am so appreciative of what you’re doing to advance the field. I am wondering what Dorsal Rostral Expansion should feel like. I think I know how to do it, and I believe I can see it during certain exercises. Although I am not sure how it should feel. Any explanation would be so helpful!
In this video:
I show you two ways to target and feel expansion with inhalation into the upper back (dorsal-rostral thorax) to promote improved shoulder external rotation.

Q & A for The 16% – Is a Hip Shift Expansion or Compression?
Question: Just watched your latest propulsion video and a question struck me. Can you please explain how a hip shift is an expansion strategy?
In this video: I break down a hip shift into its two possible outcomes and show you how to acquire each one.
