Weekly Update and Q & A for October 20, 2019

October 21, 2019 By Bill Leave a Comment

Weekly Update:

Time was limited because of The Intensive VIII wrapping up last weekend, but I’m back with a new Q & A this week!

Here’s the last Q & A if you missed it

Here’s the video showing a manual approach to increasing knee flexion

I’ve also been busy on Instagram for The 16% and posted a few IGTV segments, so check those out.

Topics for this week’s Q & A:

  • In your model are the terms compressed and expanded used mutually exclusive or are they used in combination to describe strategies at different segments? Or does it depend if discussing “normal” vs compensatory strategies?
  • Could you discuss ideal / non compensatory foot position, and its relationship to inhalation and exhalation in different phases of gait and how, or if, we can potentially change compensatory foot mechanics with more proximal structures?
  • Is there a good resource for the lay person on what sinovial fluid is, and how the body utilizes it? Great video on knee flexion, I’m just wondering how my body could make such a mistake on where to store the fluid that would cause such discomfort.
  • Thoughts on psychedelics laying new road maps for altering neurotransmitters most commonly taken routes, similarly allowing us to alter our relationship with gravity and atmospheric pressure to reinstate a preferred posture?
  • Who or what are the 16%?
  • What are your thoughts on training barefoot and when, if, and how it could be practical?
  • What books or publications would you recommend that would aid in a deeper understanding of disordered breathing patterns/rib cage compensatory strategies and their effect on distal mechanics, and gait mechanics and how it relates to early to late propulsion?
  • Would you give your thoughts on strategies to improve the front rack position for FS/cleans as it relates to the ER/IR/ER arc? Do you think it would be more effective to train this position specifically, or utilize shoulder above and below it where you are more biased into ER to begin with and drive it from there?
  • What’s the best place to learn from you!?? Products, courses, just keep listening?
  • Bill can you discuss the position of the spine when you are trying to bias movements towards IR or ER. Should we be putting the spine into some extension as well? Are we just trying to keep the cylinder stacked? Does the IR/ER ideas refer to just the limbs?

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.

Success! We are now accepting mentorship applications. Please see the link on the professional mentorship page.
