124: Posture, Speed Training and Athletic Asymmetry with Justin Moore | Sponsored by SimpliFaster

Today’s episode features Justin Moore, performance education coordinator at Parabolic Performance and Rehab, also working with their NFL combine athletes. Justin made his first appearance in episode 78 where he talked about how to optimize the execution of the barbell lifts according to the ideals of the postural restoration institute, making them more transferable to athletic performance, as well as hitting important muscles groups such as the abdominals and hamstring. Justin is one of the brightest young strength coaches in the field, and has a field of intelligent mentors, many of whom have also been on this podcast. Justin is a guy who has great knowledge of two things I’m really interested in, PRI and speed. It’s not often that I get to talk about sprinting in context of the ribs, thorax and diaphragm, but today, Justin and I will do just that. When it comes to technique, structure dictates function, but is also not always the roadblock we might make it out to be. Knowing PRI principles in context of sprinting is important, but it is even more important to know when to use them, and when to avoid having an athlete do corrective based work when a “workaround” is available through good coaching. For today’s episode, Justin will cover technical issues in sprinting that could be rooted within the thorax and diaphragm, asymmetry in sprinting and human movement, right and left leg differences, as well as the impingement-instability paradigm of locomotion and how that fits with what we are doing in the weightroom.
