Is it the way that they walk?
Is it their feet forward?
Like, what is it?
Because you can find somebody on the other end of the spectrum that does great in that way.
Sure.
And there are movement systems that have been built on improving this.
Like there's this movement, GODA, greatest of all time athletes, who their whole thing is getting people to move and walk in that way.
Now there's a few things to think about when it comes to that.
Rope flow, over time, can benefit, along with a few other things.
There's tension that a majority of the population is holding in different parts of their body that affects the way their skeleton is structured at rest.
If you hold extra tension in your glute med, your upper glutes, which a lot of people have, and you also hold a level of tension in your lower back, some people will hold some tension in aspects of their quads, it can make your skeletal structure kind of go outwards and put you in that duck foot position.
Compound that if you're someone who also loves to do a lot of resistance training in a traditional sense You're squatting and you're dead lifting with this same position So you're putting force on your body in these positions and you're not doing anything somewhat contrary to that that yield that that allows you to move Fluidly through space so you'll end up in this position, but the thing is is some people their skeleton is also kind of oriented in that type of position like there are some athletes who
Skeletally, they are in a pigeon-toed position.
Jordan was that way.
Rich Froning, the greatest crossfitter of all time, is that way.
What's his name?
Russian weightlifter Dmitry Klokov was duck-footed too.
So when people see these amazing athletes who have this duck-foot pigeon-toed, there's a sense where some people just try to figure out a way to mimic it, which isn't a bad intent.
Yeah, I mean, which isn't a bad intent.
But the thing is, is like my skeletal structure is not naturally pigeon-toed.
