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 […]

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 […]
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 […]

Recapturing Hip Internal Rotation with a Half-Kneeling Cable Press
When you understand the relationships of position, compression, and expansion of the axial skeleton, you can use any number of supplementary exercises to support your movement goals. Many times, rehab exercises are not necessary to recapture hip range of motion that we lose in association with heavy strength training. Supplementary exercises like half-kneeling activities can […]
