@@ZacCupplesPT one question , I have a severe APT, when I used to workout my torso used to go in a chest high,lumbar curve , belly out posture automatically.I never like my protruding belly. Should I be in "stack" position all the time ? Will it fix my posture ?
@@hustler3577 I don't really have people focus on how they are feeling at all times because we are meant to move, not stay in any one position. The best bet is to teach yourself how to move as many different positions as possible.
@@ZacCupplesPT ok I got you. We should keep moving in different positions.But is there any routine or tips that you suggest for uncomfortable anterior pelvic tilt ? This seems to be a never ending mystery for me. 🙏🏽
There's a video that ssys we've all been breathing wrong. We have to exhale completely accompanied by the elongation or stretch of our body. Then inhalation will occur passively automatically. Normally people tend to exhale with contraction of spine and body especially when they're tried.Please tell your opinion
I found that either quadruped or hooklying, It's hard to make uniform expansion during inhale. I try to lower ribs hold still. but when I do that, It's almost impossible to breath in and my neck muscles kick in. I think this is problem why my breathing work seems no use. Any suggestion?
Sometimes the restrictions in terms of getting too much air in are common, as thorax can be restricted. But my suspicion is you are crunching in this position, especially if neck is kicking in. I would make sure your chest is parallel as you reach. If you are still getting neck, I would consider elevating your arms on an incline
Hey Big-Z, Can you tell me which position you will chose to stack someone (Wide ISA) who have tightness in gluteal muscles (external rotators and tight below trochanter muscles)? Great video, Thanks.
On fire here Zac ! Question, when curing the secondary compensation for narrow ISA in hooklying what is your cue to get proximal hamstring / glute in ? Would it be ok to put a band around the knees and cue to hold the knees out into the band resistance to bias more lateral hammies since the secondary compensation is lacking Abd/Er ?
I typically use the same cues, with manual cueing to ensure they keep the abs relaxed. You can definitely use a miniband as well. Done that also and it's useful!
@@ZacCupplesPT Definitely in my top 5 duo's ever! My list looks like this in no particular order. 1- Blackstar 2- Outkast 3- Mobb Deep 4- Method and Redman 5- EPMD What's yours fam?
@@SoulandDreams11 Phew, that is a good list, and a really tough question. Everyone asks top 5 emcees, but duos?!?!!? After careful consideration, here's where I'd go 1. Gang Starr 2. Blackstar 3. Outkast 4. Prhyme 5. Bad Meets Evil Hardest question I've been asked all day LOL.
David Hajjar Your answer makes me wanna go psycho... Like woah! Black Rob said it best lol Prhyme is great I just got into them! And bad meets evil? Sounds like you're a real Royce fan. He's a lyrical beast for sure. Hope the holidays are treating you well! Question Big Z, do you do any zoom or Skype sessions?
@@SoulandDreams11 Royce is in my Top 5, so, you'd be correct LOL. And yes I do. I offer a few different services pending on what you need, you can read more about them here: zaccupples.com/services/ If things look good and sound good, you can sign up for a session here: calendly.com/zaccupples Excited to work together. I'll make sure to set aside an extra 3 hours to talk hip hop LOL!
@@ZacCupplesPT what if they are wide isa in some endgame compensations with anterior and posterior compression? Can we proceed with sidelying in this case?
Hi Zac, very informative video but I am bit confused about the stack position. I understand that the pelvis should posteriorly tilt for an optimum stack with the diaphragm but should we maintain this stack position all the time? Because I have learned that actually an optimum and neutral position of the pelvis is slightly anteriorly tilted.
@@ZacCupplesPT This is their most popular video but they have other vids on there that go more in depth into their "decompression breathing". Also I just wanted to say I like your channel and how comprehensive it is, but as a layman just trying to get good breathing mechanics I must admit it feels way over my head and unsure on where to start. Even on the website the "101" stuff, I know you are oriented toward helping already educated professionals that have a baseline of anatomical/physical therapy knowledge, but is there any video you have, or perhaps one you could make, where you just break it down very simply and practically for us dummies the general breathing mechanics/exercises to do? Thanks for your reply, your time, and the stuff you do ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4BOTvaRaDjI.html
It's still structurally the person is either wider or narrower. Are the lines vertical or horizontal? If asymmetrical in the fashion mentioned, treat them as a narrow most likely
Hey Zac - great video. I feel perfectly aligned and 'stacked' after doing 90-90 on the wall using a balloon and various other PRI techniques, however, I seem to lose it after sitting for various periods despite making sure to get up now and then. I've read that sitting with your knees below your hips will cause your back to be put into extension, could this be the cause or do you have any other thoughts? Much appreciated.
Hey AM, I don't expect or advocate for people to be stacking at all periods of time. In fact, having some degree of anterior pelvic tilt is normal. You just need to be able to move in/out of those positions. Best thing you can do is keep challenging yourself with various moves, progress to maintaining positioning under load, and you should be rocking it!
