This is Brent coming at you with our
00:00:0300:00:08
three. In this video I'm going to give you my five simple steps on how to
00:00:0800:00:14
create a list of all of the muscles involved in any of the signs and
00:00:1400:00:17
dysfunctions that we see, during an overhead squat assessment. So the first
00:00:1700:00:20
thing you guys need to know is you have to know what optimal posture is first,
00:00:2000:00:24
before we can even determine what dysfunction look like looks like, we need
00:00:2400:00:30
to know what good looks like. Our second step is to identify the joint action
00:00:3000:00:35
that is responsible for the sign we identified in our overhead squat
00:00:3500:00:39
assessment, so you guys can go back to video 2 and look at all the signs we
00:00:3900:00:44
listed. Once we identify the joint action, we can go to step number three which is
00:00:4400:00:50
list all of the muscles responsible for that joint action. Now what we're going
00:00:5000:00:57
to assume is that steps two and three, has created a list for us of short and
00:00:5700:01:01
overactive muscles, at least we're going to presume that for now. This creates a
00:01:0100:01:06
list of short overactive structures that once we get to our corrective strategy,
00:01:0600:01:11
we're probably going to want to go ahead and tone down, make them less active and
00:01:1100:01:15
we're going to want to lengthen them somehow. In step 4 we're going to go
00:01:1500:01:20
ahead and think of the opposing joint action, so the opposing joint action is
00:01:2000:01:24
going to help us determine all the muscles that would be responsible for
00:01:2400:01:29
that opposing joint action, in which case they have been lengthened and are
00:01:2900:01:34
probably under active. Now with those muscles we probably want to increase
00:01:3400:01:39
their activity and get them integrated back into a normal movement pattern, so
00:01:3900:01:43
that we move with optimal posture. Now if I was going to take you guys through an
00:01:4300:01:51
example, so let's start with, let's say I saw excessive leaning forward which
00:01:5100:01:56
okay what joint is action is that, that's that's hip flexion. All right so if I'm
00:01:5600:01:59
thinking hip flexion, what are the muscles responsible for hip flexion you
00:01:5900:02:05
guys already know some of the muscles right, like we could say TFL, so if my TFL
00:02:0500:02:08
is involved in hip flexion and there's an excessive leaning forward, what do I
00:02:0800:02:10
want to do to that muscle? I want to tone it
00:02:1000:02:13
down, so I want to use some sort of release like technique, and I probably
00:02:1300:02:16
want to lengthen it. You guys know from watching some of those other videos
00:02:1600:02:19
something like a kneeling hip flexor stretch would work, and then we're going
00:02:1900:02:24
to go to the opposing joint action well if I have too much of this, too much hip
00:02:2400:02:29
flexion right that means I don't have enough hip extension, so somethings long
00:02:2900:02:35
and of course we have one of our big hip extensors that we all love to work but
00:02:3500:02:38
has a tendency to get under active, which is our glute max so you guys could be
00:02:3800:02:42
thinking well I'll do some glute max work, i'll do some glute max activation.
00:02:4200:02:46
You guys can look those videos up, maybe do some bridges, and then I can get them
00:02:4600:02:51
integrated in a nice big lower leg exercise like a squat to row. So once
00:02:5100:02:55
again guys I hope you guys can see how all of the rest of our videos in this
00:02:5500:03:00
series are going to start with this simple game plan right. I'm going to look
00:03:0000:03:05
at a dysfunction, I'm going to tell you guys what joint action goes with that
00:03:0500:03:10
sign, we're going to list the muscles responsible for that action which are
00:03:1000:03:15
short and overactive muscles, presumably we're going to list the opposing joint
00:03:1500:03:20
action and then of course the long muscles; and every time we do this we're
00:03:2000:03:25
going to end up creating a list of muscles that we need to address in our
00:03:2500:03:30
corrective exercise strategy. I hope that helps you guys understand the logic
00:03:3000:03:34
behind some of the stuff we do. It's not complicated, you do got to know your
00:03:3400:03:38
functional anatomy. All right you guys got to keep working n learning all of
00:03:3800:03:41
your muscles, but it's not a complicated concept and i know if you stay with me
