Weekly Update and Q & A for October 6, 2019

October 9, 2019 By Bill Leave a Comment

Weekly Update: The Padawan has been asking some great questions, so we put them on video for you to help you improve your understanding and to help you formulate your own questions.

You can watch those videos here:

Padawan Lesson: No One Learns from Success – https://youtu.be/roG_wz9T91Y

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

The Intensive VIII week begins on Monday. I’ve also selected attendees for The Intensive IX, and they have been notified. If you applied and didn’t receive an invite this time, keep trying. I can only accept 8 attendees at a time to keep it… well… Intensive.

Topics for this week’s Q & A:

  • Could you please go over the why for the technique for the suitcase carry; taking big steps and swinging the free arm. When does a person “earn standing” with resets?
  • What prereqs are necessary for a standing reset to be successful?
  • How does your interaction with a patient change as you transition them from being a rehab client to a training client?
  • Why is speed always the last thing we layer onto an activity when we’re teaching a new movement?
  • Is there an instance where we’d want to increase speed initially to aid in learning?
  • We talked about how learning anatomy out of context. But if we can potentially encounter an infinite number of situations then wouldn’t serve to better learn the principles of anatomy in school?
  •  Could you “expand” upon why the all four position, or maybe the way I was doing it (with my arms directly under my shoulder blades), would compress me in the space between the shoulder blades instead of expanding me? In quadruped, I have used the cues of “exhaling and reaching your sternum away from the floor”, then “inhale and fill that new space”. I probably get more of a “turtle shell” on my mid-back instead of where I need it. It is very hard to feel anything stretching in that upper posterior area. Can you provide any suggestions? Am I coming at it wrong and need to think of this differently?
  • Is there a correct position of the pelvis relative to the base of support that would be considered ideal for a squat?

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.
