  • Q & A for The 16% – How Does Your Foot Type Affect Your Squat & Deadlift

    Q & A for The 16% – How Does Your Foot Type Affect Your Squat & Deadlift

    I had a great call with a long-time family member working in high level sport.

    We covered a lot of ground including feet and some of the behaviors and capabilities of the 3 main foot types. I thought it would be useful to consider how the foot types may bias your performance in the gym, and how you can alter your training to influence your squat vs. deadlift performance. I’ll use the box squat as the exercise we can use to manipulate execution to support your training goals.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Why do you lose Hip Internal Rotation?

    Q & A for The 16% – Why do you lose Hip Internal Rotation?

    I have a question from the IFAST PT fellow, so grab your @neurocoffee for this one.

    From Austin: If somebody has limited hip IR, that would indicate anterior compression, however you have mentioned a loss of IR being due to compression below the level of the trochanter posteriorly. How do you determine whether compression is from the anterior or posterior aspect of the hip and limiting the IR? Have a great weekend! The podcast will be up Sunday.

    Attention IFAST University members: We have a Q & A on Monday.

    Check the schedule on IFAST U. #hipmobility #hipexercises #billhartmanpt

  • Q & A for The 16% – Why Your Movement Changes Won’t Stick

    Q & A for The 16% – Why Your Movement Changes Won’t Stick

    I have a great question concerning how we reason our way through the process of making changes stick with out clients. Grab your @neurocoffee for this one.

    From Marcel:

    I have been implementing your model with some good success. But there seems to be a variation in how much the changes we get “stick”.  Some clients things change really nicely and stay that way, and others it seems like a ongoing battle to maintain good movement variability.  Can you talk about what factors can influence things not “sticking” (  ie. Stress, upper airway, training load ) and how to go about working out what that client needs if it hard to maintain changes.

  • 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% – There’s No Sagittal or Frontal Plane Movement

    Q & A for The 16% – There’s No Sagittal or Frontal Plane Movement

    Here’s a tough one for ya! Better have a strong cup of @neurocoffee ready.

    From Alex:

    Thank you for the ongoing content, it has been revelationary in terms of my thinking towards movement.

    I’d watched your upload of the 6am Coaches Conference Call from this morning (apologies with the time delay between UK and USA, it put it directly at my 14 months nap time to attend in person at the moment!!!) and it was the first time I’d personally heard you discuss in depth the concept of “there is no sagittal plane” with regards to the example you gave about the calcaneus, talus and tibia, and the cancellation of rotations.

    I’m unsure as to whether you went into any more depth within the call itself, but I’d be incredibly interested in whether you could address this fully within a Q+A and how it applies to perceived motion in both the sagittal and frontal planes.
