Your spine already knows what to do
<p>The third and final exercise from Spinal Intelligence is deceptively simple: move from hands and knees to seated, and pay attention to what your spine is doing along the way.</p><p>That’s it. No special equipment, no particular shape to achieve.</p><p>What makes it interesting is the middle part — where you get to try rounding your back through the transition, then arching it, then finding what feels easiest. Not to judge which one is “correct,” but to notice. Is one more fluid? More awkward? Does one feel like it requires more effort?</p><p>This kind of exploration is at the heart of what Spinal Intelligence is about. Your spine isn’t a column that needs to be held in the right position. It’s a responsive system that’s constantly taking in information and adapting. When you give it variations to work with — instead of a single instruction to follow — you start to develop a more nuanced relationship with how it actually moves.</p><p>The seated moment at the end, where you simply sense where your spine is in relation to your pelvis, matters more than it might look. That’s the practice: move, then feel. Not just move and move and move.</p><p>If these three exercises have been useful, the book goes much deeper — both the exercises themselves and the reasoning behind why this approach to movement works.

The Physics of the Deadlift (And Why Your Hands Matter More Than You Think)
<p>There’s a word that gets thrown around a lot in lifting: leverage. People say it constantly, but the way it’s used often doesn’t match what’s actually happening mechanically.</p><p>So let’s slow it down.</p><p>When you pick something heavy up off the floor, you have three variables in play: your load (the bar), your pivot point (your hips and knees), and your effort (the posterior chain doing the work). The lever arm — the thing that determines how hard or easy the lift feels — is your torso. Not your hands. Your hands aren’t where your leverage lives.</p><p>But here’s the part that doesn’t get talked about enough: grip still matters enormously, just not for the reason most people think.</p><p>The way you take hold of the bar determines how well you’re anchored — to the bar, and to yourself. A grip that pulls the bar in toward you does two things at once: it moves the load closer to your pivot point (making it mechanically lighter) and it creates a line of sensory feedback that travels all the way up through your arms and into your back. That feedback is what allows your posterior chain to actually engage in the movement rather than just endure it.</p><p>This is why I re-grip every single rep. Not for strength. For reset. Each time my hands meet the bar again, I get a fresh read on where I am — and that information changes how I move.</p><p>Physics is clarifying. Once you understand what’s actually creating leverage in a lift, you stop trying to solve the wrong problem. You stop white-knuckling the bar hoping that’ll help, and you start paying attention to your torso position and hip angle — which is where the movement actually lives.</p><p>If you want to go deeper into how the nervous system and biomechanics work together in movement — including why sensation matters as much as mechanics — that’s exactly what Spinal Intelligence is built around.

Your hands can only load what your spine allows
<p>Most people think of hand balancing — or even just pressing into a surface — as a hand and shoulder problem. It isn’t. It’s a spine problem.</p><p>This two-minute wall drill will show you what I mean. You’ll start with your pinky finger edges against the wall, ribs dropped toward the floor, and then slowly draw your ribs up toward the ceiling. As you do, notice when your hands start to take weight. That moment — when the load arrives in your palms — is entirely determined by what your spine is doing, not by how hard you’re gripping or how much you’re trying.</p><p>It’s a small thing to feel, and then you can’t unfeel it.</p><p>This is useful if you sit at a desk for long hours and have lost a sense of what your thoracic spine is actually doing. It’s equally useful if you do any kind of hand balancing, yoga, or pressing work, and you’ve been trying to solve a hand or wrist problem that keeps not getting solved.</p><p>The drill is in the video below. All you need is a wall.</p><p>This is one thread in a much larger idea I explore in Spinal Intelligence — the book is out now, and you can find it on Amazon or at jennpilotti.com.</p><p>Questions or observations after you try it? Drop them in the comments — I read everything.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
