Question #1 In the Q & A video from below, you mention that when you get an anterior compression of the front of the pelvis, you will get a shape change that will steal IR and increase concentric orientation of the posterior musculature. I’m having trouble visualizing this orientation of the ilium and how this […]

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: […]
Q & A for The 16% – How to Improve Agility and Cutting Mechanics with Lunge Variations
Question: I would love to hear about the contralateral KB reverse lunge mimicking getting into a cut, and an ipsilateral kB reverse lunge mimicking getting out of a cut? Cutting mechanics require moving from an externally rotated and inhaled position into a cut to a more propulsive and exhaled strategy out of the cut. If […]
Q & A for The 16%… Wide Infrasternal Angle vs Narrow Infrasternal Angle Relationships
I’ve been getting a lot of similar questions that appear to be related to understanding my references to wide infrasternal angles vs. narrow infrasternal angles. When breathing is restricted such that full inhalation or full exhalation cannot be achieved, the infrasternal angle (ISA) provides guidance as to what compensatory strategy is being utilized to maintain […]
Q & A for The 16%… How to Set-up Sled Drags to Enhance Conditioning and Emphasize Inhalation and Expansion
Question: How you would set up a backward sled drag to promote an inhalation strategy in terms of position of the torso and arms? And what you would do if someone needed more compression? In this video: Two variations of the sled drag to emphasize different aspects of thorax and rib cage movement and shoulder […]
