I remember so many times taking some of the most powerful baseball players, the leading home run hitters, and then testing their hip internal or external rotation strength.

and it being incredibly weak like incredibly weak and you say to yourself how is that even possible because it was never actually directly trained and does it have a carryover obviously they're doing really really well in terms of their performance on the field i still think it would have a carryover to improve performance on the field but more importantly one of the players in question actually wound up having a lot of knee pain throughout his his career

and there are missed games because of knee pain, what could his career stats have looked like? They're already Hall of Fame worthy, but what could his career stats have looked like if he didn't miss all those games? So they may not have improved performance directly, but they could have kept them healthier and having other issues be avoided by doing them.

So I think that these types of smaller movements are... really revealing of what might be going on underneath. And the nice thing about those is that anybody can do them. Like it doesn't require a gym, doesn't require an elaborate setup. They're really good assessment tools for people who just want to see where they stand. Why did you bring the skeleton with you with the bow tie?

The bow tie, I mean, he came dressed even more than I did. I have my t-shirt, but this is Raymond. So X-Ray is his full name. And then Raymond became his short name. So I broke him out.

probably in 2011 or 12 and he became a fan favorite pretty quickly but i think people like the visual and for me he's not the most mobile guy he's lost his lower arm he doesn't have another arm on this side and he doesn't really move that well but what it is important is he's also lost his legs he's lost his legs i got a leg over there if we need it but the spine see for me again i focus a lot on

the ability to function in space. And rotation is probably the area of biggest deficit. It's what we lose the most. And the reason for that is because the area of the spine that's most responsible for functional rotation of the torso is going to be here in the thoracic spine. So what that is, is anybody that wants to measure on themselves, it's right at the bottom of the neck.

So what that is, is anybody that wants to measure on themselves, it's right at the bottom of the neck.

So the base of the neck, the height of the shoulders, and it runs down just to below the rib cage. So right where the rib cage ends is where the thoracic spine ends. It has so many far-reaching implications because it shares its range of motion between two different directions. So its ability to go front to back, again, he can bend forward and back. We can slump forward. We can go back, right?

You want to have ideally about 40 degrees of flexion in that area and about 25 degrees of extension through that area. And just us sitting here alone, we probably tended to get a little bit of this posture while we were getting comfortable and talking. We kind of get a little bit rounded out.

When you use up motion in this direction, and imagine what that looks like when people are on their phones or at a desk all day, you're gonna start to lose the motion into extension. You're gonna get too flexed. Well, every time you lose a degree into flexion, you actually lose a direct degree into rotation. So you're, because you're sharing that motion.
