Hi Conor! Thank you for constantly providing such useful content. Is there any chance you could share a playlist with exercises addressed in this video?

Amazing content Connor, thank you. Can i ask how are you breathing on the Chest supported row / single leg stance landmine row / single arm row with the hand into the wall ? are we always thinking about exhale on the concentric ?

Hey Connor. I really love your content. Your content has helped me a lot. I couldn't find the exercise link in the description. Would you be able to add it in the description or in the comments. Thanks in Advance.

This is amazing. I'm not even a 1/3rd of a way done with it. This is BY FAR the best explanation I've seen of these concepts from anyone. I plan on taking your course as soon as I can. My only question so far Conor is why does the supine humeral IR assessment affect posterior T5-T7? If the serratus, lower traps, and ER's begin to concentrically orientate above 60 degrees, why would this assessment theoretically work then since the humerus is in 90 degrees of abduction? I've noticed some people like Zac Cupples and Katie St Claire have begun to use the old Apley scratch test (apparently for humeral IR because I believe it prevents "stealing" from abduction and flexion ROM) and standing humeral extension test with hand kept on hip (which I believe is an attempt to see if excessive flexion, IR, and abduction are present). What do you think of this and do you still do the supine humeral IR (PRI-like) test? Thanks Conor - keep up the solid work.

Appreciate the kind words! I am using the IR test here because I find the Apley's is simply too difficult for someone to take off of the internet and implement themselves without guidance. So I picked the test that is "good enough" and people can implement without issues. As for the reasoning, I explain it in more detail in the shoulder assessment video, but I do agree that it has its limitations.

Hey Conor, thanks for doing these long presentations, they are great. I've got a clarification question. I'm on the far end of the spectrum that you were talking about here: 140 lbs 6ft tall male ultramarathon runner, really supinated right foot, flat back, and forward head posture. You said that these people are lacking anterior expansion and their sacrums are counternutated. How do you see this presentation as it relates to PRI specific lens? Would you say that these people need more right apical expansion than left posterior mediastinum? Would you be less concerned about rounding backs and tucking pelvis's posteriorly during non-manual techniques/PRI centric gym exercises since the anterior chest is perhaps the more pressing concern?

Hey Tyler! Really appreciate hearing you enjoy them. That is indeed the common presentation for those types of individuals. In PRI terms, those athletes are usually PECs who need bilateral anterior expansion to restore humeral IR. I would do things like the all-four breathing and the exercises to promote anterior expansion at first, unless they presented with additional compensations. Then I would address any underlying asymmetries.

Are we meant to be executing these exercises such as the cable chest press, cable one hand pull down, etc on both sides or only the one side?

This reminds me of an Osteopathic approach…:). I’m surprised you’re not an Osteopath!! The interconnection between pelvis and rib cage is not practiced in clinical settings, gym settings, personal training, etc as much as it should be.

Can you use bands in place of cables?

Conor I am intrigued in the 12 week body restoration webinar but want to know if it works for me time wise is there anybody I can speak too pls thanks

You had mentioned that we don’t want pec with a reach at 90 degrees…does that change if you are performing a low reach? Naturally I feel the pecs come on when I reach in the downwards direction.

If it’s a low intensity exercise or one of the warm-up drills, yes we don’t want pec. But if it’s a upper push with load, it’s inevitable. If you feel pecs while reaching down you’re probably better off starting with a reach around 100-110 degrees to eccentrically orient the pecs.

Connor at 10:53 regarding trunk rotation left posterior, right anterior expansion can you compare that with page 55 of PRI integration for fitness and movement?

@@conorharris p.55 in manual stated above pertains to movement and position of the thorax in the transverse plane. For right rotation: right half of the ribcage ER and the left half IR. There is also a slight coupling of the vertebrae and ribs into left side flexion. Airflow: Left side achieves ZOA, facilitating right apical anterior lateral expansion, with left posterior mediastinum expansion. I'm not sure since it's been a month but I am thinking perhaps @ 10:53 it states the opposite. Part of the reasoning may be where the above is true a right turn causes vertebra to rotate left causing compression and you may have been referring to a right thoracic turn strictly without a left side bend. Thanks for the reply.

In hooklying low reach exercise, your reach is at very low angle and feet are elevated - can you explain?

@conorharris

We elevate the feet on a book to bias slightly more hip flexion to promote relatively more IR, but as I mentioned in another comment, it's an easier position to help those with hamstring awareness. Also, the low reach helps bias as much posterior expansion as possible without forcing people into a higher reach where they might not have the shoulder flexion to go that high without compensation at first. I usually start people with low reaches and work up from there.

The low reaching angle and the humerus spends some time in extension during that movement which brings the scap closer to the spine in adduction. So air can't expand posteriorly as well. That means it is more biased to going forward

if Hooking position favors ER then why there is hooklying exercise in your APT book under posteriorly compressed pelvis section? Isn't those guys are already in ER ?

The hooklying position is simply an easier position to find proximal hamstrings in. Also, we elevate the feet on a book to bias slightly more hip flexion to promote relatively more IR, but ultimately we chose that because we can't be there to coach people through these exercises and a 90/90 can be challenging for people with missing hip flexion and/or poor awareness of hamstrings.
