    As a coach myself, I think it is important to be open about your mistakes. I find myself guilty of using the "babys move awesome" rethoric, and you got me thinking about why do I say these statements. Though nothing as insane as these guys, we all must remain skeptical not just of others, but ourselves. Though I believe there is something about being an infant and moving primarily in and from the ground that promotes healthy movement, and movement restriction that develop as we rely more on chairs and supports as we age, I must admit it is a compelling hypothesis, but nothing I can actually back up. I'm a big fan of Dan John and Barbell medicine folks, and I think taking both approaches creates a great middle ground that might stop us from going too coocoo with the functional " noble savage" stuff, and too clinical and "this is the optimal way to take a shit and I won't try otherwise unless there are 50 metanalyses to prove otherwise" extremes. I'm exaggerating of course but hopefully you get the point. Thank you for the reflection.

    This guys great. I watched a collab with megsquats tutorial on power cleans. Couldn’t get that movement down before almost gave up on being able to do any Olympic lifts but watching this guy walk through the movement patterns and set up got me to huge progress.

    This is important Zack! The more info we can get out about how harmful that type of kinesiophobia-pedling is the better. 80 % of the American population does not meet the recommended guidelines for physical activity. The numbers are similar here in Denmark. It is not "wrong" movement that is hurting people it is lack of movement that is killing them.

    I remember when I first started personal training and prior to that I only trained for gaining muscle, I completely went the other way and every exercise I did was to challenge my stability. I’m at a point now where I got my programming on point and I don’t look down on any training method because done right, they all serve a purpose.

    • @LAK_770
      @LAK_770 Před 8 měsíci

      That’s not really true though, especially in the context of this video topic. Many methods, especially stability training, are virtually never a justifiably effective approach for any common athletic or fitness goal. For any given goal there are absolutely better and worse approaches, and there are some approaches that simply have no real value, like the nonsense gimmicks of these woke coaches. To say that everything has its place is just a reductive platitude that sidesteps the fact that we can just make basic critical evaluations.

    A year and a half late, but given that athletes are bigger, stronger, etc. than they ever been before, it doesn't make any sense that their training is compromising their performance. Plus, these athletes are pushing themselves to the own physical limit constantly (Rafa Nadal is a good example), so there is, of course, an increase risk of injury.
