  • Q & A for The 16% – Neck Range of Motion Testing and Training

    Q & A for The 16% – Neck Range of Motion Testing and Training

    Neck stiffness and range of motion limitations are quite common and can get magnified by various training strategies.

    Here’s a question to lead us toward a way to monitor progress even if you don’t do manual therapy as part of your practice.

    Grab a @neurocoffee and give this a watch.

    From Adrian:

    I have an athlete with a great deal of neck limitation who appears to be very compressed in the upper ribs. Are there any other good tests that can lead me toward a solution or let me know that I’m making progress short of trying to assess neck mobility directly? Does compression of the manubrium affect neck position and movement?

  • 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.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Strategies for Limited Shoulder External and Internal Shoulder Rotation

    Q & A for The 16% – Strategies for Limited Shoulder External and Internal Shoulder Rotation

    @neurocoffee to the rescue this morning!

    Here’s a great case of a wide ISA with a lot of compressive compensatory strategy to overcome.

    From Tommy:
    I’m a wide ISA individual who through years of hard exercise and too many extension based activities got pretty deep into the compensatory patterns. I’m limited in hip & shoulder ER & IR measurements and have difficulties turning. I’ve made some good progress (special thanks to the camporini deadlift), but I’m still dealing with an inability to get dorsal rostral expansion and the muscles at my upper back/neck constantly feel engaged. I’ve tried the “Terry project” move for dorsal rostral expansion but struggle to find success there because my shoulders want to immediately hike up. Lastly, my camporini angle (between the clavicle and scapula is way less than 60 degrees). I’ve tried the manual intervention that you posted to youtube on 12/13/2019, but that causes numbness and tingling down my arm and to my fingers in little time. Curious to get your thoughts as to where this leads me. Would it be wise to focus working from the bottom-up, or try to push through with dorsal rostral specific activities?

  • Q & A for The 16% – Neck Performance – for The Bench Press and Combat Athletes

    Q & A for The 16% – Neck Performance – for The Bench Press and Combat Athletes

    Here’s today’s Q&A on neck training in the bench press and for combat athletes.

    From Vikram: Could you explain why some people go into what looks like cervical flexion at the bottom of a bench press?

    From Conor:  I have an athlete that wants to train their neck because they’re a combat athlete. I was curious what your thoughts are on neck training and how you would go about it for both a wide or narrow ISA. They are fairly well progressed in their program and feeling great, but have had issues with neck tension in the past.
