You Have Been Lied To About The "Neutral Spine" - Do This Instead For Better Form & Posture 

In this particular case, because people regurgitate information they’ve heard without critically thinking about it

@@conorharris Well I hope I'll feel less awkward deadlifting after this video, thanks!

I give up 😅😂😂😂🤷🏾‍♀️

​@@conorharrisI think its salesmen but, that might imply people were less naieve before sales. It's more complicated than that, is my point.

Thank you for everything

Much love, Dale!

I do agree in some instances it can be ideal to cue a little thoracic extension

​@@conorharris But it should be done by using those muscles not by hardly forcing any part of spine to flaxtion or extention, it should be done by training appropriate muscle so that it can become the subconscious habbit ❤.

😂 Good one!😂 But seriously, deadlift is one of the best exercises for strong back.

My mind wanders back to its habits. I'm making new ones. 5akes time but every few weeks its a little better with a new area of weakness that is exposed... don't g8ve up... the alternative Isn't any better 😂 Relax and breathe, or focus on it in a relaxed intensity. Fight or flight will see that bad things are not happening and trust will form

It’s okay if there’s a little buttwink! As long as it’s not painful or potentially related to a pain experience. I would suggest re-setting the brace a bit between reps

I would suggest thinking air flow first, not muscle imbalances. Solve that one, and everything usually falls in line. At least this was my experience. Muscles are slaves to the position bones put them in. The amount of muscle activity you get from breathing in a day is quite significant. Over 20,000 breaths. Every single day. You want to talk about breeding muscle imbalances, that activity is really the one you do the most. You couldn't go a day without it. Bad respiratory function reinforces it's own patterns and puts some muscles at a mechanical disadvantage. Simply trying to strengthen them on their own isn't changing the job demand to the muscle on a daily basis. Traditional strengthening modalities do little to re-educate the muscles on context within movements. To state that simply because a muscle isn't strong enough, it won't work enough during a given activity is overly simplistic and in my opinion incomplete. A muscle that has a better line of pull or position to do the work usually contributes more. If you're always in a state of a couple muscles in particular having a better position to contribute, those muscles typically end up getting pretty strong and the other ones that are disadvantaged are going to get weak. I always like to ask the question of "why" is something weak or overactive. In my opinion, this approach helped me "knock over more Dominos" than the over a decade of physical therapy I received for the same problems over and over again. I would recommend you go see somebody who can take a look and figure out what you need to do to address the issue. Since You're watching Connor, I would say you're already taking some good steps. This stuff is complicated. Not every equation can be reduced to simple, pretty square numbers. Not every explanation can be so simple, especially when we're talking about something is complicated as the human body; as you would lose the nuance that is truly needed in order to understand. Just fruit for thought. Hope you are well! Good luck on your journey
