  • Virtual Staff Training: Overhead pressing and Neck Mechanics

    Virtual Staff Training: Overhead pressing and Neck Mechanics

    In this video:

    Dan got a group of coaches together for a staff training session on Zoom. We talked about a lot of issues, but we started off with a discussion of neck mechanics and how the lower cervical spine behaves differently. This led us to consider the influences of dorsal-rostral mechanics and how they influence not only neck range of motion but also how they influence overhead pressing.

    You can use the overhead press as a diagnostic if you know what you’re looking at.

    The Chris Knott Podcast Q & A with Bill Hartman

    Chris Knott and I discuss the following topics:

    • Why I run The Intensives and what he and his students get from the experience

    • The learning process and why it’s so important to continue learning at any stage of your career and start to think differently

    • The ISA and why presentations impact your suitability towards exercises

    • How strength training affects your mechanics

    • My training history and how he used to train (does anyone really care… okay, maybe)

    • Why exercise prescription in postural correction is vital and why exercises should be prescribed based on assessments and not a presumption.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Exhalation Strategies for Wide Infrasternal Angle vs. Narrow Infrasternal Angle

    Q & A for The 16% – Exhalation Strategies for Wide Infrasternal Angle vs. Narrow Infrasternal Angle

    Question: Why is it that increased airway resistance in a pursed-lip exhale has a facilitatory bias towards external oblique activation, while decreased airway resistance with an open, relaxed jaw exhale biases more internal oblique activation?

    Is the difference in airway resistance even the mechanism driving the bias between the different muscle groups?

  • Q & A for The 16% – Can You Make a Narrow Infrasternal Angle into a Wide Infrasternal Angle?

    Q & A for The 16% – Can You Make a Narrow Infrasternal Angle into a Wide Infrasternal Angle?

    Question: Is it possible that a narrow ISA became wide ISA after prolonged period of compressive training(ie powerlifting)? If so, will you treat them as narrow or wide?

    Question 2: I’ll second this question, phrased differently can a narrow ISA present with a wide ISA measure and would to total shape of the rib cage be a sign of this?

    In this video: I review how physical structure determine the narrow infrasternal angle and whether training can alter this structure to turn a narrow ISA into a Wide ISA.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Wide ISA Compensations – Improving Hip Internal Rotation

    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 several ways to create expansion in the posterior aspect of the pelvis to promote increases in hip internal rotation that may benefit those with a wide infrasternal angle.
