    Tech Disc Accuracy

    I have one on the way in June. Tbh I'm only hoping it's accurate relative to itself. Ie I don't really care if the metrics are perfectly accurate by any stretch, just as long as they adjust properly relative to each other. Could also give a crap about the actual speed it's the nose/launch/hyzer...

    Tech disc test driven development

    No no just the opposite, I had gone back to full shoulder bruise mode and was seemingly death gripping it beyond recognition without even meaning to lol. Gripped it lighter and suddenly it was only bad and not embarrassingly abysmal 😂.

    Tech disc test driven development

    I remember shooting my first rifle at some clay's way back in the 8th grade. Back then, I had to hold on for dear life to control the recoil. Fast forward to mid-university. At this point, I'd quit running track, started lifting, but was still a ways away from my absolute peak strength. I was...

    Slingshot makes my brain hurt.

    "The Method" by Brian Weissman

    There's a couple really cool pieces of information here that remind me of a couple of things. I was listening to a lecture from a local S&C guy who is currently working a lot with football players (CFL level, if that means anything to anyone) and a couple of upcoming olympic athletics women...

    "The Method" by Brian Weissman

    @Brychanus Figured I'd just tag you instead of making a huge quote chain. Happy to contribute where I can here. With the obvious caveat that like anything, I'm only one person in the S&C world and there are going to be people more educated than me in that field, blah blah blah. That said: The...

    "The Method" by Brian Weissman

    Went through the videos last night. As a former MTG geek in high school/early college, the Pat Chapin cameo popped me pretty good. Production quality is fantastic. I also appreciate the intent to make the actual learning tool as simple as possible. (Not the language throughout the page, but the...

    "The Method" by Brian Weissman

    I was watching Bodanza's video from the last few days here (I don't know when it was released, I watched it yesterday though) where he was with his S&C coach. That coach said a line that really resonated with me. 'The muscles dictate the mechanics'. I may be paraphrasing slightly. The idea being...

    Does your rear/drive heel need to be off the ground to be "on your toes"?

    D1 heptathlete at one of the best track and field colleges in the country. That's the short answer.

    What turn the key is missing

    Haha so true. I've got a couple of those types of athletes right now in the track world turning some heads up north here, and a couple coaches from other provinces have suddenly become very interested in what we're doing. I laugh and have to tell them the kids pretty much walked in off the...

    Coaches' Corner

    Does that count as saying his name? Does me quoting you count as the second time? Because all it takes is one more requote and then mission accomplished.

    Are we just making things up with nose angle stuff now?

    Very important point. A mentor coach of mine had a very simple (simple, not easy) guide to determine when it was appropriate to make biomechanical modifications. It was a 2 answer series to the question "should I change this". Question 1: Is what the athlete is doing now going to lead to injury...

    Are we just making things up with nose angle stuff now?

    Hahahah yeah.... I felt silly even writing that disclaimer, but y'know. It's nice to be nice lmao.

    Are we just making things up with nose angle stuff now?

    I realize this may slightly derail the thread, but this is sparking an interesting convo note to me. In a lot of sports we see and hear all the time of truly elite people with "bad" form. This is usually accompanied by "How much better could this person be if they just learned to do X". I think...

    Coaches' Corner

    IPF/USAPL or the 'monolift' feds as I call em lol? (I used to be an IPF type guy up here in Canada, which, at the time was by far the majority of people competing. I'd say we were a bit ahead of the times in the trend shift to raw lifting and ditching equipment. Maybe we were all just cheap...
