Episode Synopsis

Stop guessing with assessments. Start learning from the source.Free courses and the new Assessment 101 are waiting for you: http://UHP.networkThink you know how to assess a squat? Think again.In this episode, Bill Hartman and Chris dismantle the myth of “squat as pattern” and show you how to actually use squats as diagnostic behavior. The focus is on propulsion, internal rotation, and how the system expresses its real strategy.You’ll never look at a butt wink, heel lift, or shift the same way again.What You’ll LearnWhy squats are not universal patterns. They are outputs of constraintHow to read internal rotation within a squatWhy “fixing form” can remove the evidence you're looking forHow propulsion phases show up during descent and returnWhy ramps, heel lifts, and load are strategic resistanceThe difference between limitation and protective behaviorHow to connect squat behavior with table test findingsWhy “stance” language confuses what is actually happeningEpisode Timestamps 00:00 – Squatting Isn’t a Pattern 01:26 – Strategy Over Shape: Reading the Squat 03:48 – Stop Over-Coaching: Let Behavior Speak 06:13 – Observation over Correction: How to Set It Up 09:05 – Shifts, Reach, and Posterior Orientation 11:44 – Complex Movements Mirror the Table Tests 14:19 – Squatting as Phases of Propulsion 17:34 – Manipulating Propulsion with Constraints 20:34 – Strategic Resistance: Ramps, Heels, and Load 25:35 – Goblet vs Plate Reach: IR Strategies in ActionAssessment 101 is coming soon to http://UHP.networkSign up now to get early access, plus these free resources:Model 101 CourseDecision-Making CoursePropulsive Anatomy IntroWeekly Q&A calls and content archive with UHP+ membershipStart learning the UHPC Model from the source and make sense of your assessments.Stay ConnectedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bill_hartman_pt/Train with Bill: https://www.reconu.coPodcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7cJM6v5S38RLroac6BQjrdPodcast on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/reconsider-with-bill-hartman/id1662268221Website: https://billhartmanpt.com/📺 Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BillHartmanPT🔖 Hashtags#SquatAssessment #PropulsionPhases #StrategicResistance #UHPCModel #Biomechanics #InternalRotationMatters #AssessDontCorrect #MovementStrategy #StrengthCoach #HumanMovement
