  • Q & A for The 16% – Powerlifting Squat vs. Body Weight Squat

    Q & A for The 16% – Powerlifting Squat vs. Body Weight Squat

    My @neurocoffee is on another level today, so here’s today’s Q & A.

    From SanD:

    Can you please use your pelvis model to explain/compare pelvic position for stages of a reg squat v. competition back squat? Stuck trying to understand how the reg squat inhale down (sacrum counternutates, ilia spread, pelvic floor/guts drop) to yield, then exhale up to overcome (sacrum nutates, ilia narrow, etc) converts to a competition squat where you set the pelvic position for both yielding and overcoming at the top and hold it until the lift is complete. Wouldn’t inhaling at the start to get tight counternutate the sacrum which isn’t ideal for overcoming at the bottom. How do you coach that pelvis?

  • Q & A for The 16% – Understanding Upper Dorsal-Rostral Expansion – Exercise Strategy

    Q & A for The 16% – Understanding Upper Dorsal-Rostral Expansion – Exercise Strategy

    I brought my @neurocoffee into the purple room so I could use a couple models to show you some key elements associate with the upper dorsal-rostral thorax.

    I spent some time this morning on a mentorship call discussing approaches to recapture the expansion in the area of the last few upper ribs and lower cervical spine mechanics.

    I’ll cover a few elements of normal and compensatory strategies and then show you a few exercises that I use to address these limitations in the gym.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Shoulder Impingement – Why and How?

    Q & A for The 16% – Shoulder Impingement – Why and How?

    I have my @neurocoffee as usual but today’s Q&A felt like it would work better with a little help from Alfred in The Purple Room.

    From David:

    I get a lot of left shoulder pain with bench pressing. Any pressing really. I’ve followed the typical recommendations of doing ITYW exercise, face pulls, and rotator cuff strengthening with rubber bands that a PT friend recommended. I’m still having pain and now the shoulder feels stiff too. Any idea how this happens? Any solutions?

  • Q & A for The 16% – Single Leg Stance – Pelvis Mechanics

    Q & A for The 16% – Single Leg Stance – Pelvis Mechanics

    I have my @neurocoffee in hand and here’s today’s Q&A.

    From Mikheal:
    If someone is standing on one leg (left) and another leg is flexed in hip and knee 90/90 then the standing leg’s hip is excessively externaly rotated abducted and extended. Why is it and what to do with it? This one is all about delaying the propulsive phase. Here’s how you do that.

  • Q & A for The 16% – The Squat – Body Weight Squats vs. Loaded Squats

    Q & A for The 16% – The Squat – Body Weight Squats vs. Loaded Squats

    My @neurocoffee is in high gear for this morning’s Q & A.

    From Mihail:
    Could you please explain how do the mechanics change between a body weight squat and a weighted squat?

    Wow… what a great question. Lots to unpack here. Be sure to ask questions!
