I have two great questions for today’s Q & A. Jason’s question: I recently saw a client with a 90 degree ISA that did not move at all. Additionally, he had: – Limited shoulder and hip and IR and ER – Limited shoulder and hip flexion – No true hip hyperextension – Lordotic posture Given […]
Wide ISA
Highlights from My Q & A with Strength Faction
https://billhartmanpt.com/ https://infastonline.com/ @strengthfaction Q & A topics: -Training older clients like me… intensity is easy, recovery is hard -What is the infrasternal angel and what does it mean? -Wide ISA’s need to exhale -How to write a book or a blog that resonates -Assessments in the gym instead of on the table -Reforming your model […]
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? #infrasternalangle #breathingexercises #billhartmanpt […]
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 […]
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 […]
