An interesting posture adjustment by The Miz this year was starting his delivery in more flexion.
By starting in a more flexed posture, he gives himself more room to operate in spinal flexion before transitioning into spinal extension later in the delivery.
Notice how long he maintains flexion before transitioning into extension. The timing of this transition is important, as it can influence when the pelvis begins to open and how rotation is organized throughout the delivery.
With his increase in velocity and command, it’s interesting to explore how this adjustment has influenced the timing and sequencing of his delivery.
A great example of how changing an athlete’s starting posture can influence how the rest of the delivery unfolds.
