in this episode of the Bear Performance Podcast.

So the single most effective analogy I've found

that helps people understand it. So if you look at your hand in your form,

you're a jacked guy, you can see your forearm.

If you wiggle and move your fingers, you see all kinds of, like,

bend them and like fully bend the knuckles.

And like, so you see all kinds of stuff, and even if you don't move the wrist,

you can see all kinds of muscle engaging in the forearm.

Now, if you don't move the fingers at all, how do you engage your muscle?

You really can't.

Exactly. Now, if you didn't move that at all, it would get stiff

because it's holding onto position.

The big movers are all in the forearm.

It is the exact same thing for your feet,

to your lower leg and your calves.

If you can't move your toes, then the end position of these tendons

that has a muscle belly in the calf does not get moved.

And then because of that, it doesn't get the,

you don't get this pulling, this pushing and pulling as the,

the toe and as the actual foot and tendon would stretch

in response to moving, running.

Welcome back to another powerful episode of the podcast.
