DM #355: You either don't have the mobility, you lack the stability, a perhaps a little bit of both.
—
Why do your knees collapse in when you land? Why do your heels come up when you squat? Why does your shoulder shrug up when you do a pull-up, or your ribs flare out when you do anything overhead? There's always a reason. Figuring out is the fun part.
—
If you don't have the mobility to perform a movement, be it a true structural issue or just something you've lost over time, you will be forced to perform that movement in a different way. There's a roadblock and you've got to go around it. Simple as that.
—
Lack the stability or strength and you'll be physically unable to fight gravity and stay in a better position. You'll collapse and compensate because you're stronger there. The nervous system just wants to feel safe.
—
So, stop guessing and take the time to figure out what's going on. Address it. Get better. Oh and if you've got a mobility issue you'd better believe you've got an underlying stability issue. Things don't just lock up for no reason. ??‍♂️
