Padawan Lesson:  Propulsion Concepts Applied to Cutting and Baseball Pitching

November 1, 2019 By Bill Leave a Comment

We’ve been reviewing pressure and volume shifts throughout the pelvis that influence the pelvic diaphragm shape, position, and movement.

In this video, we move up to the thorax to address the thorax movement, shape change, and airflow mechanics that occur with cutting to the side and a baseball throw.

Just as we talk about propulsion, concentric and eccentric muscle orientation, and overcoming or yielding contractions in the pelvis, these same concepts apply to the thorax.

Near the end of the video, we provide a visual representation of the thorax shape to help you understand the result of the conversation.

If you have questions, please go to my instagram account and post them on the weekly Q & A request or email me at askbillhartman@gmail.com.

You have to earn your way into the 16%. To do so, we must think differently. Fitness training is young and indecisive. Rehab is stagnating. Strength & Conditioning is being stifled by tradition and confusion. It's time to do the work necessary to improve or join the average.

Success! We are now accepting mentorship applications. Please see the link on the professional mentorship page.
