This week’s Questions:

Could you explain what’s going in the pelvic floor when someone is doing a goblet squat in the rack with a band attatched to the J hooks so when they squat down it’s almost as if they are bouncing off of it! I’m curious on the intent behind it, when it’s appropriate, and why?

With your help to date my ‘hingey’ squat is looking more squatty (thanks!). To date I have been using light front bar squats (circa 50kg including the bar). When the SSB arrives I am looking to increasingly load my squatty squat. My understanding is that targeting a squatty squat will help improve my movement variability by helping me become less exhale biased & compressed. But I also understand that improving force production may re-enforce my compressed exhale biased axial skeleton. In light of this – using the SSQ bar is there a limit to how much I should progress the loading of a squatty squat?

Does the ability to abduct the femur = pelvic diaphragm eccentrically orienting and the pelvic outlet closing. And the ability to adduct the femur = pelvic diaphragm concentrically orienting and pelvic outlet widening. Are these useful tests to figure out where someone is limited in the propulsion arc?

What typically is the underlying driver in an individual that presents with excessive femoral IR in standing static posture and excessive bilateral “leg whip“ when running ?  Is it typically an excessive anterior orientation of the entire pelvis vs a sacral nutation with Ilial ER  ?

What tests do you use to determine if you have a compressive strategy?

-what is being compressed?

-what is the result?

Do you believe the entire human body is a literal tensegrity structure? Or are there just some elements of tensegrity within the system. Read something interesting about how the spine can’t be a literal tensegrity structure because the compression elements do not actually cross each other.

I am very fascinated with pelvic mechanics at the moment and was hoping you could offer some good resources to learn from as well.
