Hey Emily! Thank you so much for sharing. This drill seems to be perfect for movements that are more strength-based, like lifting. But forward movement seem to be using the opposite of this. If you ever watch Usain Bolt from the front/rear view, you can clearly see he is absorbing impact on the externally rotated leg and sending the energy to the other side by internal rotation. The whole knee literally goes from out to in with every single step, while lifting is from in to out. Watch Michael Jordan as well, he had the most pronounced movements patterns of this you can ever study. The thing is that this "locomotive engine" also incorporates a little bit of what seems like anterior pelvis tilt, which helps with the energy transfer from one side to the other. Most indigenous people also seem to be rocking what seems like a slight tilt. There are systems that teach this and actually learned it from watching thousands of hours of slowmotion videos of indigenous, durable athletes, kids and elderly athletes that are still going strong without many health issues. They are fairly simplifying it and I don't agree with them on everything, but this makes too much sense to be just a sales pitch. I can DM you some of their stuff, I don't want this to seem like a shameless plug for their stuff, I'm not one of them. What is your take on that? What are the rotational forces in the body while moving forward? I don't see many people address this in the movement world, most running assesments are from the side view. Their theory goes: if you use "lifting engine" for "forward locomotion", you are asking for a trouble. Cheers!
@@gregsam6744 Hey Sam. Emily didn't respond, so I'll just leave it here: it's "GOATA Movement". They have many coaches of different quality, but watch some of their slow-motion video analysis. They are VERY ACTIVE on instagram as well.
@@Ssssyyyyyyyyyy I'd be curious to hear her take too. I'm with you, all the footage they present is very persuasive but I don't think they have ALL the answers like they think they do and goata athletes still get injured and suffer pain as well. Some of the instagram accounts are bad apples too in the way they attack others which is a shame. I am currently having a lot of success with Chong Xie's system which has similarities to Dr Emily's but I want to know how it can all combine together.
Why isn't this video getting millions of views and thousands of likes? It's great!
genius stuff Dr. S! Much gratitude
A lot of information, I need to watch it more. I can see, feel, what you're talking about.
WOW! I love this instructional video! So helpful to make the most of my squat!
Your content is the best!
What a great video, thank you for sharing
Thank you Dr Emily
Very relevant and helpful topics !!! Thank you kindly.

@Sy_ what systems are you referring to?

This makes my knees externally rotate. Is it okay for my knees to be facing outwards when I'm squatting?
Shouldn't be squatting. Check out GOATA squatting
