So women are more quad dominant, just the way our posture is and our center of gravity. So this already predisposes us to change of direction injury, soft tissue injury. That's part of the reason why we see a greater predisposition in ACL injury, because we don't have the hamstring strength to counter some of those cutting motions that causes an ACL tear.

So when we're looking at that and what we need to do is we need to put that focus away from the knee and the lunge and all that quad dominant type work, put it posterior. So you're looking at developing the glutes and the hamstrings, a lot of extension work. And we see that when women start to do that, they reduce their injury risk and they have better posture and cutting motion.

And when we're looking at things like what FIFAS put out for warm-up, it's all about warming up the posterior chain and trying to get those muscles firing as a counteract to some of those cutting motions that predispose women to ligamental tears. We also see that as we get into perimenopause, there is a definitive increase in plantar fascia issues and frozen shoulder or bursts in your shoulder.

And that has to do with the changing of the tensile strength in the ligaments as well as a weakening in the muscle contraction. So again, we're looking at what do we need to do to prevent that. We need to keep the strengthening and the faster type power-based action to create an environment that reduces injury, reduces the inflammation of the tendons, and allows better range of motion.

So when we look at men who are in their 40s, rarely do we hear about a plantar fascia issue. You look at women in their 40s, it's one of the leading issues that make them go see a physical therapist or an osteo or a chiro. It's an inherent sex difference, right? I can see you're like, you've probably experienced it.

Yeah, so frozen shoulder has to do with we have a wider shoulder girdle because our hips have widened. But if you think about all the metrics that we've taught to do push-ups, pull-ups, they're all in a grip strength or a grip width that's based on male data.

male physiology because you know if you go to do a pull-up and you're a bit wider like no more narrow so it puts a lot of strain where it shouldn't same with push-ups they're trying to teach you to be really tight and use more tricep but our shoulders as women we need to be wider so it's just that inherent that we're and we tend to like when we get our 40s we're like okay yeah i really i most of us have a challenge and we want to accomplish so it could be a push-up or pull-up or we start doing more up
