  • Q & A for The 16% – Will Wide Infrasternal Angles Benefit from Side Plank or Inversion?

    Q & A for The 16% – Will Wide Infrasternal Angles Benefit from Side Plank or Inversion?

    Grab your @neurocoffee for this morning’s Q & A for The 16%…

    From Michael:
    I’ve heard you say that you would side plank a wide ISA. Can you go into detail about why  and what effect it has on the ribcage?  Also, can you give some side plank examples you would use? Progressions, regressions?

    From Rondel:
    I asked a question about expansion in the upper thorax [on the IFAST U Q & A], and I would like to get clarification, if possible. Let me know if I got this correct.  Wide: Face-up: what exercises specifically?  Narrow: Facedown: what exercises specifically?

    From Sasha:
    I do have a question pertaining to the shoulder going into extension being an external rotation moment, unless you are reaching across the midline. Would that fly in the face of what is commonly taught? Have an outstanding day!

  • Q & A for The 16% – Heavy Presses, Chin-ups, and Suspension Trainers to Increase Mobility?

    Q & A for The 16% – Heavy Presses, Chin-ups, and Suspension Trainers to Increase Mobility?

    Grab your @neurocoffee and have a listen to todays Q & A.

    From Thomas:
    In your Q and A from November 3rd someone wrote in who was trying to reestablish eccentric orientation. He noted he was trying not to focus on compressive exercises like deadlift and bench and was trying to focus on exercises like chin-ups and presses. You mentioned that the chin and presses were actually compressive because of their bilateral nature. Are there variations of those exercises(chins/presses) one could use to try to recapture eccentric orientation? Im guessing the examples you performed in the expanding the upper rib cage video would help someone with a wide isa reestablish eccentric orientation but was wondering what some other options could be?

    From Shyam:
    Can you talk about the  power push-up rotating handle and how one can bias shoulder IR and ER improvements? Also would this be similar  to using rings for pull-ups and how you could manipulate breathing with supination/Er and pronation/Ir to get expansion and shoulder range changes?

  • 6am Coffee for Coaches Discussion Group – billhartmanpt.com

    6am Coffee for Coaches Discussion Group – billhartmanpt.com

    We had a great group for 6am Coffee and Discussion.

    A full spectrum of knowledge and experience.

    Dr. Mike talked about the Concept 2 Challenge he did with his kids. Talk about crazy training volume!

    It seems that many of us are using this time of opportunity which I love hearing about.

    We covered some technical talk about capturing information to make it useful, infrasternal angles, and the influence of structure and looking at things through multiple filters instead of seeing singular influences. It’s about a process and probability when your work with complex humans in the realm of the unpredictable and unknowns.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Hip External rotation solution – Rib stiffness strategy – Hand to Shoulder ER/IR

    Q & A for The 16% – Hip External rotation solution – Rib stiffness strategy – Hand to Shoulder ER/IR

    I hope you made your @neurocoffee because I have 3 great Q & A’s for today.

    From Eduard:
    How do you distinguish between the genetically determined structure of being an narrow vs. wide and a body that starts for example as a wide and does tons of compressive hardcore weight and in result ends up as a narrow with excessive external obliques and now has to deal with that. 2 or even 3 layers of compensation on compensation overhelming this body. Would you still start with moving ISA first and then get the counternutation of the sakrum and the upper T spine going?

    From Brian:
    If someone exhibits a narrow ISA with an excessive lumbar lordosis and limited hip ER,  would a good strategy to improve the hip ER measures  be to work on activities to improve lower posterior thorax expansion to reduce the lordosis which is driving the anterior pelvis orientation ?

    From Matt:
    I saw your recent tricep push down video and noticed you say to push through the pinky side of your hands. I was wondering why this is, and how pressing through different parts of your hand can have different influences on the rest of the body. Is it at all similar to pressing through different aspects of your foot?
