  • Q & A for The 16% – Overcoming and Yielding Actions – A Demonstration

    Q & A for The 16% – Overcoming and Yielding Actions – A Demonstration

    Overcoming actions and Yielding actions of muscle are sometimes difficult to grasp because of the ingrained weakness of how we learned muscle contraction in school. While useful, the model that school provided has significant limitations. If we think differently, we can refine our understanding of how muscles can magnify pressures, allow movement to occur, and shorten/lengthen non-uniformly to produce smooth, fluid movement.

    In this video: I demonstrate on a large scale representation of how our muscles behave under certain circumstances. If you have questions, please post them below in the comments.

  • Q & A for The 16%… How to Set-up Sled Drags to Enhance Conditioning and Emphasize Inhalation and Expansion

    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 movement.

    What’s are the differences in the set-up for inhalation or expansion and exhalation or compression?

    How to implement a hip shift to enhance movement. How does sled weight affect the chosen strategy?

  • Q & A for the 16%… Rope pull with Emphasis on Thorax Expansion for Clients with a Wide ISA

    Q & A for the 16%… Rope pull with Emphasis on Thorax Expansion for Clients with a Wide ISA

    Question:
    I would like to combine the merits of Joel Jamieson style recovery workouts (i.e. say 20 mins of 130 bpm work) and exercises that promote an inhalation bias for wide ISAs to expand Anterior to Posterior thorax and promote counternutation of the pelvis. When you put exercises together like your whatsthatstrap sled pull and your rope pull what is your thought process for the positioning of the feet, pelvis and arms and anything else you consider important. I have read your previous posts but I would be lying if I said I understood it yet. Thanks again.

    Thanks for your question!

    Here’s my answer with a demonstration of how to bias the rope pull to inhalation/expansion or exhalation/compression.
