No overhead lifting. When squatting do not let the knees go past the toes. Keep
spine neutral. Draw in to activate TA. And on and on and on, bla, bla bla. Don’t
fall into this trap, these are all rules made to be broken. They are all based
on false assumptions. They will work if you live, work and play in phone booth.
As humans and athletes we do not. We live in a proprioceptively demanding
gravity enriched environment. As humans we are specialists at solving movement
problems and self-organizing our movements to fit the demands of the activity.
In preparation for work and play in this gravity enriched environment select
exercises and training methods that promote connections and reinforce linking
and synching. Great athletes are just geniuses at solving intricate movement
problems. As coaches we need to give the athlete the latitude to create, move and solve those problems.
