    Q & A topics:

    -Training older clients like me… intensity is easy, recovery is hard
    -What is the infrasternal angel and what does it mean?
    -Wide ISA’s need to exhale
    -How to write a book or a blog that resonates
    -Assessments in the gym instead of on the table
    -Reforming your model -What does posture mean?
    -Why do I not talk about or use the term neutral spine.

  • Virtual Staff Training:  Overhead pressing and Neck Mechanics

    Virtual Staff Training: Overhead pressing and Neck Mechanics

    In this video:

    Dan got a group of coaches together for a staff training session on Zoom. We talked about a lot of issues, but we started off with a discussion of neck mechanics and how the lower cervical spine behaves differently. This led us to consider the influences of dorsal-rostral mechanics and how they influence not only neck range of motion but also how they influence overhead pressing.

    You can use the overhead press as a diagnostic if you know what you’re looking at.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Overcoming and Yielding Actions – A Demonstration

    Q & A for The 16% – Overcoming and Yielding Actions – A Demonstration

    Overcoming actions and Yielding actions of muscle are sometimes difficult to grasp because of the ingrained weakness of how we learned muscle contraction in school. While useful, the model that school provided has significant limitations. If we think differently, we can refine our understanding of how muscles can magnify pressures, allow movement to occur, and shorten/lengthen non-uniformly to produce smooth, fluid movement.

    In this video: I demonstrate on a large scale representation of how our muscles behave under certain circumstances. If you have questions, please post them below in the comments.

  • The Chris Knott Podcast Q & A with Bill Hartman

    The Chris Knott Podcast Q & A with Bill Hartman

    Chris Knott and I discuss the following topics:

    • Why I run The Intensives and what he and his students get from the experience

    • The learning process and why it’s so important to continue learning at any stage of your career and start to think differently

    • The ISA and why presentations impact your suitability towards exercises

    • How strength training affects your mechanics

    • My training history and how he used to train (does anyone really care… okay, maybe)

    • Why exercise prescription in postural correction is vital and why exercises should be prescribed based on assessments and not a presumption.
