Reconsider... Preparing to Train Wides vs Narrows with Bill Hartman | Episode #53

Podcast cover

Reconsider... with Bill Hartman

The podcast explores training methodologies, specifically addressing misconceptions around training "wides and narrows" using the ISA (Individualized Structural Assessment) approach. It emphasizes that ISA training isn't a rigid set of rules but requires understanding an individual's base of support. The discussion covers strategies for bringing individuals back within their base of support, such as moving the base of support to meet the individual where they are, rather than trying to force them back. Specific exercises like right sideline positioning and high oblique sits are analyzed for their differential impact on "wide" versus "narrow" archetypes, including adjustments to pulley positions during pulldowns to accommodate internal rotation needs. The hosts also discuss kneeling positions and marching techniques, modifying them based on archetype to optimize force production and minimize compensatory strategies.
