We teach people how to create better movement patterns not geometry, once we get someones movement patterns right they go back to their coach to apply geometry.

Come-on Bioengine.

If I use my Right Triceps Muscle, that's Work: Physics.

If I Push Up, Down, Out, etc, that's Alignment: Geometry.

Alignment and Work = Mechanics.

When you tell someone what muscles to use...don't you tell them which direction to use them. "Here's where you start..Here's where you end"?

I think what this demonstrates is that there can be wide differences between what different people mean by the same phrase. I think that your application of the terminology is a little simplistic Daryl, which is surprising because your intimate knowledge of TGM indicates that you recognise that we use shorthand to condense complex concepts.

The movement patterns bioengine trains are much more intricate than simple muscle movements like tricep extension. They involve timing, transition of force across body parts, multiple joints and muscle groups being syncronised and working together and opposing each other in an appropriate manner, etc. But you know that already.

Nothing in bioengines training program for me involves him directing me consciously to use certain muscles in a specific direction. It involves me executing a movement - I leave it up to my body how to do that. It learns from doing those movements. And it applies those improved movement patterns when I try and hit a golf ball. The exercises do not involve me hitting a ball, many do not involve a golf club. Many do not mimic golf movements at all, at least not in an obvious way.

Put it this way, if I took a PST exercise to the course and tried to hit the ball that way it would get VERY ugly!
