Evil Anterior Weight Shift

Still on some Weingroff/Janda stuff.

Anterior weight shift always screws up movement patterns.

Hip Flexor Paradox:
The squat is a hip flexion movement, so why would hip extension be so important to the squat?

All right this one took me a couple of re-listens and some internet research.
So, as we stated all anterior shifts are bad ie why when we explain the squat it is always "hips back and down". If the hip is restricted in extension this causes an anterior shift. This anterior weight shift requires the hip flexors to stabilize the pelvis rather than making the core do the work. The core should be doing the work allowing the hip flexors to be mobile controllers of the mobile hip.

Like I said I had to listen to it a couple of times to understand it. Here's the link:

If you are already familiar with all the joint-by-joint approach stuff, the paradox stuff starts about 30min in.

I'm also sure this man has no mobility issues: Kendrick Ferris
