Hang with me guys.
I know that these days are long.
All right, so for the thoracic row, what I'm trying
to do is get all the protraction I have
whatever a deduction is left and then flexion, right?
So if all of you guys just do this motion,
everybody protract far as you actually can,
and then without losing any, get as much a deduction
as you can and then without losing any,
how much flexion do you have left?
Right? Most of you guys are probably in front of your mouth
or somewhere really close, right?
And so that's, that's the position what I'm going into.
So to get there, the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna
back away with this and let this pull me into the
protraction, right?
Okay. So I don't wanna have to actively push,
I can use the weight to pull me into the protraction, then
I can turn away to get the A deduction.
Cool. And then what I can do is I can sink in to get
the flexion right?
So I'm like this, which is, if I was standing the equivalent
of being like this, it's just
I'm now bent over like this, doing the motion.
Okay? So I let this protract me, I turn out this way,
my same side leg is gonna be forward.
'cause that's what's gonna help me counter the rotation.
And then I'm also gonna brace here, okay, I'm turning away
to get the A deduction sinking in here
and pulling like, so, okay,
you could do this in the functional trainer
with the two arms by simply holding the same arm
and turning away from it and doing it this way, right?
Could instead of this, could I have a bench like here
that I was pushing on and then doing this absolutely right.
All I need is something to stabilize with.
So I find the easiest way to use this one is
to just come over and use the opposite side rack.
Okay? If I had more benches
and stuff, could I set up something so
that you guys could just be here and do this and do it?
Absolutely. Do.
