Get your @neurocoffee. Here’s today’s Q & A. From Zhang: I noticed on my female clients, mostly narrow ISA, that a lot of them have anterior pelvis orientation (lordotic lumbar spine, limited hip extension, butt back during squats). One way I use to promote posterior pelvis orientation is by using a heel ramp and cueing […]

Q & A for The 16% – What Happens in a Deep Squat: Mechanics and Cues for Breathing
From Zhang: What are the actions of musculature above the level of the trochanter, such as upper glute max and piriformis, at the bottom of a deep squat when hips are flexed above 120 degrees? Do these muscles still contribute to the internal rotation of the femurs in a deep squat, or do they change […]
Q & A for The 16% – How and Why? – Heels-Elevated Squat
Question: My questions are in regard to your video: Q & A for The 16% – Heels-Elevated Squat – Hip ER to Hip IR to Hip ER 1) Is the reason for pushing through the medial heel on the ascent to promote pronation (exhalation strategy)? 2) During the ascent, would there be any benefit to […]
Q & A for The 16% – Heels-Elevated Squat – Hip ER to Hip IR to Hip ER
Question: Hi there, Bill!! This is Fabrizio from Italy. Hope you are fine. I would like to know what happens when you exhale on the way down of a “squatty squat” (goblet or Zercher plus heel wedge for example). Are you actually biasing an expansion/inhaled exercise variation towards a more compressed strategy in this case?? […]
Q & A for The 16% – Wide ISA Compensations – Improving Hip Internal Rotation
Question: Based on your recent post on instagram about the end of the line compensatory sequence for a wide ISA, how would you begin to intervene with an individual who has the posterior compression in the upper posterior pelvis as well as the concentric orientation of lower glute max? In this video: I show you […]
