This week’s Q & A questions answered:
- Would love to hear you muse on heel/forefoot striking for distance running as it pertains to early/late propulsion. I.e. heel striking is typically labeled as “bad”, but seems to be a reasonable strategy to ensure we capture appropriate orientation of the hammy and pelvis. Midfoot striking seems to be “good”, but may lead to an overly concentric “push dominant” strategy.
- What would I want to check/work on for R) handed pitchers that have a problem with missing the plate up and In or those that have a tendency to cut the ball glove side? Would this change as a lefty?
- The pronation of glove hand let’s the front thorax compress, allowing the backside trunk to expand and rotate (in righty’s)? Also, how would you train optimal delay in pronation of back foot to keep as much of the stored energy as possible?
- Does Narrow IPA mean a narrow ISA? Or how is the IPA measured?
- Thank you for all the information you’ve been posting lately. I spent most of my of 20’s and 30’s training and competing in various strength sports. Now I’ve done a complete 180 and have been focusing on becoming the best golfer I can be. As someone with a wide ISA I think I understand that I need to focus on reestablishing eccentric orientation. Do you recommend doing this with exercises that can be loaded significantly like squats, presses, and chins while avoiding compressive exercises like deadlifts and bench press or should I focus more on low intensity reset type exercises?
- I saw on Instagram some has asked about footstrike in distance running. Can you talk about how the model and propulsive phases apply to sprinting?
- Do you have a info on a breathing pattern for Squats & Deadlifts (Sumo) – I’ve been dealing with SIJ instability for about a year now

You have to earn your way into the 16%. To do so, we must think differently. Fitness training is young and indecisive. Rehab is stagnating. Strength & Conditioning is being stifled by tradition and confusion. It's time to do the work necessary to improve or join the average.
