this is where i became more aware of the forward-backward axis.
so in bendover there is a certain tendency to move the butt buttward as one allows one's lumbar spine to flex and one's pelvis to rotate topside forward. when one tries to limit that buttwardness the low back muscles are more isolated. i noticed that in company of sword, isolated the low back enough that i got a cramp back there that lasted a week.

silent walking, head inclination
today's never-thought-that-befores:
1. was suddenly magically able to put my front foot back flat and decelerated more than before & became able to diminish the noise production of the feet on the hardwood floor by a lot. the second time i did it it seemed that the quads have become conditioned enough to accommodate the deceleration, probably also that i had head-back-pelvis nicely in line.
its also an increased level of back-thereness of the head. there is comfort & safety back-there. today i seem extra-special more in the safe zone.
2. head turns, diagonals: there is the linear version with the chin-ear axis stays at 0, and there is the rotational version where the chin rotates toward the direction the head is turned. Different results.
