  • Q & A for The 16% – Knee and Ankle Bulletproofing? Really?

    Q & A for The 16% – Knee and Ankle Bulletproofing? Really?

    We’re talking about extreme end range of motion, so I hope you have your @neurocoffee ready.

    From Rachel:

    I have a question for the Q&A, which is following the recent theme of knees.

    Recently, I’ve been seeing more people popping up in the industry highly recommending huge amounts of end-range knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion to “bulletproof” knees.

    Is there any validity in this? If so—or if not—could you provide a perspective of these movement strategies as it relates to compression gradients or within the propulsion arc?

    Q & A for The 16% – Improving Dorsiflexion – Ankle Mobility

    Grab a @neurocoffee and here’s today’s Q & A.

    From Marcus: I’ve seen your videos where you use the foot manipulations to alter ankle and hip range of motion with great interest, but I’m a strength coach so manipulation is off the table. I have a client with limited right ankle mobility in dorsiflexion, limited hip ER on both sides L more than Right, and a history of Achilles problems but those have resolved after wearing a heel lift in his right shoe.

    Can you offer some strategy to help recapture this dorsiflexion?

    Q &A for The 16% – How to Gain Ankle Mobility – Lateral Sled Dragging

    With @neurocoffee in hand, here’s today’s (late) Q & A.

    From Eric:

    You posted a video of sled dragging for ankle mobility (posted around 5/18); can you breakdown the thought process for why this may help with ankle mobility where other strategies have failed?
