I'm giving you an option that's gonna give you the same results in the exercise that you're seeking.

That's why you're doing the exercise without the possibility of having the bad outcome come from it.

The body is like a mirror image.

The hip is like the shoulder, right?

The ankle is the wrist.

The foot is the hand.

The knee is the elbow.

They're two hinge joints.

They function that way.

Well, with the shoulder, you've got that mobility that comes from having all that freedom of motion, but the stability is lacking.

Well, the same thing with the hip.

You've got mobility, but if you don't fully stabilize it by training all of the muscles of the hip, and if you don't strengthen the external rotation of the hip,

then you're gonna have issues.

It's not biomechanically gonna work the same way.

If you think of the body as a series of bands pulling in different directions at different levels of tension, you're being pulled into one direction or the other just by the balance of tension from one weak area to one dominantly tight area.

And you need to make sure that you can sort of balance this out in order to eliminate some of the adaptations and compensations that happen.

When you grip a bar, whether it be through a curl or whether it be... And this is mostly pulling exercises because the tendency for the bar is going to be to fall out of your hand, not like with a pushing exercise where it's kind of you're pushing your hand into the bar.

So on a bench press, say.

That bar can drift

just by gravity doing its thing or fatigue of the hand grip strength can start to drift further away towards the distal digits, right?
