Help! I'm Not Sure What Infrasternal Angle I Have!

[@Fishc27]

My xiphoid proces is almost touching my right lower rib. Guess this can be explained by me being in the left AIC pattern with the muscles pulling the ribcage in closer on the right side and expanded away from the xiphoid on the left. Maybe some structural changes if I've had it for a long time. Made it confusing for me to measure my ISA :)

Sounds like the pump handle is down. Put some air in the front, an NO ONE will mess with you :)

[@BlackMesaTrainee]

I know 2 years late, but since this is the only comment i can relate to, how are you doing now? Is the tip of the xiphoid process pointing to the right aswell?

Hi Zac, Could you please clarify few things ! 1. Relative position of Sacrum to illium at different levels of Hip Flexion. 2. Relative position of Sacrum to illium ( Both Side ) when we shift to Left/Right 3. As you said that when Left leg is forward at 20-30 degrees of Hip Flexion whe need to shift left to get ER on left, I didn't get this point, could you please clarify it 🙏 Thank You 🙏

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Hey Sahil. 1. I would watch this - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZiZiWWOqKhjn7s 2. It depends on the height of the shift. Earlier hip flexion is more ER/counternutation. Later is IR/nutation 3. ER is associated with posterior expansion. If I turn left, the pelvis moves backward. In order for the pelvis to move backward, the posterior aspect of it must expand. Hopefully that clarifies!

Thank you so much Big Z! Just out of curiosity - as we as viewer see your body type throughout the different videos - are you a wide or a narrow?

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Narrow 😉

[@prashantsoni820]

Why more left apical expansion is causing less left flexion ?

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Can't expand posteiorly left, so you can't go overhead

[@Nadiajoybari]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@ZacCupplesPT]

You’re welcome 😊

Hey i saw you have a calendly website where i can get a 1 on 1 consultation, how much does it cost?

[@ZacCupplesPT]

It depends on what you are going for, but if it's a movement consult I charge $237 per session. If you want online training + 1 initial movement consult it's $327 for 6 weeks of training. You can learn more here, would be happy to work together :) - zaccupples.com/services/

@@ZacCupplesPT reasonable price as well! Ill keep in consideration, have a great day!

Hey fam, as a wide isa, i mistakingly been squeezing a ball between my knees with hooklying, i really over did it. My problems got much worse. I might’ve added too much adductors to my stack. When i stack before a squat etc i feel pain in my adductors and they clench hard. Is there a way i can train myself out of this? Do i do stuff that closes down the ipa instead?

[@ZacCupplesPT]

Hard to say without evaluating, but may consider band around the knees and pushing out slightly

[@sagargour3534]

How did you know you are a wide isa
