Bigpump,
Manual resistance inversion and eversion are what you are looking for. Just have a partner do the resistance for you.

I hadn’t submitted anything new for a while, but in the last 2 days I’ve submitted 3 new articles to the boss-man (TC). Here are the titles, for those interested:
The Do’s and Don’ts of Training Clients
Powerlifting for Bodybuilders
Intermediate Madness
You’ll also be glad to hear I’ve tried to tone down my long-winded, multi-part articles into more digestible pieces. I hope you guys like them!

Frankly Mike, it’s not about being long-winded, it’s about having to wait for the rest of the infos, as your articles are so good. No sucking up involved here, I really appreciate your and Eric’s approach to movement science and ‘functional’ training. No insult intented by functional, I consider you guys to be pioneers in this way. We’ve been stuck with swiss ball, bosu ball and wobble boards a la sauce du jour for waaaayyyyyyy too much time.
Zen,
Thanks for the kind words. Some of the new stuff isn’t too heavy on the science, but helpful nonetheless.
EC and I are working on a piece now that should really help people increase their totals w/regards to the powerlifts. Once he gets done with his thesis and I get settled in Indy we’ll work on finishing it up!
Stay strong
MR
I’m only going to be on for an hour tonight (8-9 EST), but if you have questions now, drop them off and I’ll answer them this evening!
Stay strong
MR
Sorry all, got off a little late at work tonight, so I’m a little late getting here!
I’ll stick around later tonight to make up for it, ok? Shoot me some questions in the mean time!
Stay strong

Mike-
Hope all is well. In reading over the NNM series and in several other articles/posts you guys frequently mention that a lot of people have a tight TFL, ITB. You guys also mention that many people have a tight piriformis as well. What would be the posture indicators (if doing an assessment) that someone has a tight piriformis? Are there visual indicators? Since the piriformis is an external rotator of the femur, what typically causes it to become shortened/overactive?
Thanks-
Craig
Dude, WTF? How do you do that?
Do you write 95% of 3 articles, then finish them all of at once?
Do you finish them in consecutive order and submit them all at once?
Maybe write them all in 2 days??!!
Please share your secrets!
Thanks!

mike,
excessive aerobics is deleterious to anaerobic capabilities and endeavors when it’s taken to an intensity too high for too long and too frequently? aerobics in general is deleterious to anaerobic capabilities and endeavors only if energy expenditure exceeds energy intake?
Craig,
Not sure what causes it to be overactive, but the best assessment is postural: Typically, if someone has a hiked or elevated hip, that sides piriformis is tight.
Another assessment you can have them lay on their side and lift the top leg straight up (like in the Jane Fonda videos). If there’s external rotation in the first 10-20 degrees of movement, they piriformis is typically overactive.
Hope this helps!

With this round I had one kind of “en que” in my brain, just hadn’t had the time to finish it. Got the time, got it done.
The second one came to mind as I was finishing the second. You know those articles that just “happen”? This was one of them; I wrote, proofed and revised it all in about 2 days.
Third one came along the same way; all the ideas popped into my head at once. Sat down, got almost all of it done, then had to ask Shugs and CW for a few things to fill it out. Again, total writing time was about 2 days.
I guess you can say I’m “project” oriented
