  • Highlights from the final day of The Intensive X

    Highlights from the final day of The Intensive X

    On the final day of The Intensive, we Zoom (the app) in all other previous attendees to let them participate in the last day.

    This is often a review of key topics and programming strategies.

    At The Intensive X, we reviewed some concepts about the infrasternal angle and the compensatory breathing strategies as well as a discussion of how the internal pressures and volumes are manipulated to produce movement.

    This video represents just a few minutes from the last 3 hours of The Intensive X.

  • Q & A for The 16% – Using a cable fly and one arm cable pulldown to expand the rib cage

    Q & A for The 16% – Using a cable fly and one arm cable pulldown to expand the rib cage

    Question from Drew:

    With respect to a wide ISA individual focussing on Anterior-to-Posterior expansion of the thorax, I would be keen to see you execute exercises such as:

    • An eccentric focused pec fly

    • An eccentric focused pull down

    I am Interested in your set up and execution of these exercises.

    In this video: How to promote compression and expansion reciprocally to reduce the bilateral compressive strategies seen in many people with wide infrasternal angles and limited breathing excursion.

    -Low squat reciprocal cable pulldown
    -Reciprocal cable fly

  • Q & A for The 16%… Resources to Help Build Your Model

    Q & A for The 16%… Resources to Help Build Your Model

    I get a lot of questions about where you can find more information about how I developed my model of human performance.

    There are countless resources available.

    Here’s some foundational resources you may find useful. Keep in mind, this is just the beginning.

  • Q & A for the 16% – Successful Sleep – Positions, Shape Change, Breathing, and Movement

    Q & A for the 16% – Successful Sleep – Positions, Shape Change, Breathing, and Movement

    Question: Can and how can sleep positions be used to promote shapeshifting strategies? If one struggles with driving air into the upper back would sleeping on the back be less favorable because posterior expansion is blocked and scapulae are retracted, or would the resistance promote overcoming?

    In this video:

    • Does body position enhance or limit shape change?
    • Does the research support this?
    • Can I enhance my ability to create thorax expansion?
    • What positions may be best? Is sleeping on my stomach useful?
    • Bonus: How do I know how much sleep I need and if I’m getting enough?
