Parents and coaches of youth athletes... Before worrying about sport specific lessons, a speed training coach or an organized strength and conditioning program take a quick assessment and figure out...can my young athlete do these things: Can you skip in a straight line and in multiple directions? Can you backpedal? Can you crawl 20 yds under control with hips low? Can you crab hold for 30 sec? Can you hop forward/back and side to side on both without putting the other foot down? Can you hang from a bar for more than 30 sec? Can you balance on one leg for 30 sec? Can you stand on one leg and touch the ground without falling over? Can you jump and land without collapsing? Can you take 10 big steps forward (a lunge) with falling over? Can you front shoulder roll, cartwheel, or somersault? All these are simply basic movements that set the foundation to be able to learn more complex athletic/sports specific skills. Youth athletes should be exposed to basic movements early and often and ultimately mastered before attempting to move on to high performance training. #LTAD

Over the last 20 years, there has been a push in youth sports to spend any and all available practice time on developing specific sport skills at the expense of developing all-around athleticism. You would think that, with all this specialized practice in one sport, we would be seeing a generation of superstars. In fact, it’s just the opposite: Injury and burnout rates are at an all-time high. I have seen young athletes as young as 8-9 years old competing at a regional and national level for their perspective sports, and yet they cant do basic things like : 1. Balance on one leg 2. Complete an honest pushup 3. Never learned to fall correctly. Amazingly these skills don't require special training. Proper general movement training can go a long way toward helping improve overall athleticism. Movement sessions for children should be fun, engaging, challenging, and most importantly, semi-organized. Between school and sports, children spend their entire day in an organized setting being constantly told what to do. A good training program will let young athletes develop their own style of movement to be able to solve movement problems in their own unique way. Children develop this movement sense by practicing, exploring movement, and trying things out. #LTAD Thanksgiving sale on youth athletic development material. DM for details.

You can be a great team with resources that rank in the middle of your conference. You can take a job and have success at a school in which the administration has higher expectations than they give you resources. The reality is, it is difficult to get any head coaching position, especially for those looking for their first. First time head coaches usually aren’t getting max resourced jobs in high school, college, or in the pros. The resource excuse is often a crutch for coaches: “We didn’t beat them because they have more.” “How are we suppose to win with our facilities?” “We travel in vans. They travel charter; they are more well-rested and prepared.” When deciding whether to apply for, go through the hiring process, and ultimately, making the decision to accept a new position, coaches should ask themselves three questions: 1. “Is my new administration open-minded to finding creative solutions to bridging the resource gaps so we can provide the best experience for our student-athletes?” -Creating revenue: My current athletic director David Spafford has taught me a lot about revenue creation in athletics. There are a lot of ways to bridge the budget gap including fundraising, corporate sponsorships, ticket sales, facility rentals, camps, and much more. The possibilities are endless. If you are looking at a position where the allocated resources aren’t where they need to be to compete then ask yourself if you’re the right person to help create revenue. You’ll see a job where the previous 10 years yielded multiple coaches and no success. Then one coach comes in and turns everything around without a change to the allocated resources. Chances are, the new coach is a better fit for the job than prior coaches. They usually arrive with a bag full of creative solutions and positive energy to move the program forward. If you don’t have budget money for post-workout nutrition for your student-athletes then go raise money. If you need a new weight room then go talk to corporate sponsors around the community about giving X amount of dollars annually for the next 10 years. Get an architectural rendering. Go out and show the community what is needed, why it benefits them and others. Remember, actual coaching is a small percentage of the job. Building a program is so much more. 2. “What do I need as a coach for success, what are my non-negotiables, and does this position provide them so I can help the school, program, and student-athletes achieve success?” -Every coach needs talented players, but it’s more than that. Style of play is really important for each coach. Does the job you’re considering allow you to work with and develop the type of athlete you need to be successful. Some coaches are flexible in working with different leadership styles, many are not. Can you handle an athletic director who micro-manages or who can and will blow up on you? Do you prefer a more hands-off AD? What kind of boss do you need and does the job provide it? Make a list of 3-5 non-negotiables. Does the job have them? If they don’t then you already know your answer. The job has to line up with your core values. 3. “Can we compete towards the top third of the conference if I am the head coach at this job?” -The quality of every job is ultimately on a sliding scale based on how good the conference is. Maybe the job you are considering is poorly-resourced but it’s also in a weak conference. This is the type of job you should consider taking. The jobs you need to avoid are the worst jobs within the best leagues. You can take and find success in a low-resourced positions if the league is just ok. However, there is minimal pathway to success if you’re in the best league and at an under-resourced school. If you do catch lighting in a bottle, there won’t be sustainability with this set up.

85-87 T88 MPH (HS Junior) ➡️ 92-94 T95.5 MPH (HS Senior) 🤯⁠ ⁠ An athlete update from Performance Coach Paul Hall Jr. 🔥⁠ ⁠ Tread Athlete Ryan Press came to us a little under a year and a half ago sitting 85-87 mph, topping 88, and weighing in at 155 lbs. Fast forward to now, and he's sitting 92-94, topping 95.5mph.⁠ ⁠ Overall, Ryan's foundation was there. However, the goal was to improve his total development in terms of strength, nutrition, and mechanics.⁠ ⁠ Weight Room 🏋️⁠ ’22-23 ➡️ ‘24⁠ DB Bench: 55lb ➡️ 80lb⁠ Back Squat: 250lb ➡️ 300lb ⁠ Deadlift:310lb ➡️ 370lb⁠ DB Row: 70 ➡️ 90 ⁠ ⁠ Body Weight (+20lbs): ⁠ ’22-23: 155 lbs⁠ ’24: 175 lbs ⁠ ⁠ Mechanics⁠ ⁠ Ryan had an aggressive coil coming into peak leg lift, which was causing some downstream issues with his ability to rotationally load his back leg and maintain direction. This coil was also presenting as excessive torso counter rotation at foot strike, forcing an aggressive pull towards his glove side and negatively impacting both velocity and command at times.⁠ ⁠ The change was utilizing a more controlled lift, thinking "knee to glove-side pec." Through a variety of med ball work and plyo drills, the goal was to help him rotate downhill in a more north-to-south vs east-to-west plane of rotation. This helped improve command, led to harder secondary pitches, and increased the output substantially on the heater. ⁠ ⁠ Ryan, now a Senior in HS, ranks as one of the top prep arms in Canada. ⁠ ⁠ Well worthy of a look for the upcoming Draft. 🚀⁠ ⁠ #TreadFam⁠

Really nice visual on what a week should cover from a strength, power & speed POV. Sprint every week, maybe twice. One massive issue in Gaelic Games now is too much weightlifting and bodybuilding. So you have lads walking around 5-8kg above the weight their top speed is and it also limits the amount of repeat runs they can make. This issue is about to explode into an even greater one. Mindless when play a sport (Gaelic Football) that next year could ask in some players 15-30% more running than last season!! We are heading for an injury epidemic like no other if teams don’t prepare properly going forward. Some of the stuff I’m hearing from Senior Club and Inter County teams around the country already is mind bending stupidity. One leading “manager” (in inverted commas ‘cos hardly deserves the title) has completely ignored the protests of the S&C Coach in the demands of training and running said manager wants to do. Supposedly the highest level of the game. Paid professional ignored. Don’t think this isn’t common. We have to get to the needed KM’s, sprints, High speed runs and all that. But if we do it overweight and too fast we are absolutely going to break down. It’s physics folks, and some of these geniuses don’t believe in it. Credit: Hansen Athletics

🚨New science DEBATE released on HIGH CARB vs KETO: What the new Tim Noakes vs Louise Burke debate actually shows 👇 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition just released it big debate between two of the biggest names in exercise performance asking one loaded question: does a low-carbohydrate diet impair endurance performance? On one side is Louise Burke, one of the most influential sports nutrition researchers in the world. Her argument: yes, low carb can impair performance? She is not saying every athlete must eat high-carb all the time. She is saying performance depends on the event, intensity, environment, training status, sex, and the athlete in front of you. Her biggest physiological point is fuel economy. Near an athlete’s oxidative ceiling (i.e., elite race pace), she argues that carbohydrate produces more usable energy per liter of oxygen than fat. So even if keto adaptation dramatically raises fat oxidation, that does not automatically mean better speed or power. Now I am skeptical of this point, since we have conducted Randomized Controlled Trails in both runners and ironman competitors and showed that athletes at 86% of their VO2max can utilize fat as the predominant fuel while on a very low carb diet and STILL maintain performance. On the other side, Tim Noakes argues: low carb does not necessarily impair performance when athletes are adapted long enough. He points out that many “keto hurts performance” studies are short, often under four weeks, and that several randomized trials lasting four to six weeks report similar performance between high-carb and low-carb groups. He also reframes fatigue. Instead of saying muscle glycogen is always the main limiter, he argues that during prolonged exercise, maintaining blood glucose, the small glucose pool is the most important. In our trial, 10 grams of carbohydrate per hour improved prolonged cycling performance after both diets. Noakes and Burke also did something really special: they developed a CONSENSUS article where they explored key points of AGREEMENT and DISAGREEMENT for future research. This is the coolest part and in my opinion was one of the verty unique aspect of these three studies My take is this: It is not "team high carb" versus "team keto." The weight of the evidence demonstrates that 1) BOTH high and low carb diets can work, and that 2) Carbohydrates during prolonged exercise are valuable...but 3) How this is applied depends on the individual athlete. What's your take?

“Manchester United cut corners…and so they get punished. And they deserve to get punished…” Roy Keane is adamant. His old side can be great in-possession, with the ball at their feet - they can have this all they want, with abundance. But winning requires the dirty work out-of-possession. And that dirty work must be delivered with detail intact. The small movements to close down space. The aggressive last step into the challenge. The desire to get to the ball first. “We’re in control. We’re in charge. This is our pitch. This is our game.” It’s skill wrapped in attitude… Winning in high performance sport is often unpleasant. It’s little moments of theft, it’s unabashed selfishness…it’s even a modicum of violence (in context). Now, that’s not running around like a headless chicken…but it is doing everything with high levels of certainty and aggression…to completion. It’s like (but not the same as) those who are ambitious in the workplace. Just as those in high performance sport have to attack the game…so you have to attack the business. No, you’re not crunching anyone in a 50/50…but you have to make damned sure you’re getting the detail right in a pitch for new business. There’s no room for cutting corners…otherwise your prospective client will punish you by going elsewhere. Attack the game…attack the business…attack the detail… Roy Keane only knows one identity. From head to feet and from feet to head his identity was to do what was required to win. To attack. To steal. To aggressively and assertively rule the pitch. That’s football…that’s sport…and that’s so often business…

It’s like (but not the same as) those who are ambitious in the workplace. Just as those in high performance sport have to attack the game…so you have to attack the business. No, you’re not crunching anyone in a 50/50…but you have to make damned sure you’re getting the detail right in a pitch for new business. There’s no room for cutting corners…otherwise your prospective client will punish you by going elsewhere. Attack the game…attack the business…attack the detail… Roy Keane only knows one identity. From head to feet and from feet to head his identity was to do what was required to win. To attack. To steal. To aggressively and assertively rule the pitch. That’s football…that’s sport…and that’s so often business…

Most $TAO holders staking right now are trusting the wrong validators. Not because they are careless. Because nobody explained what the numbers on the Validators page actually mean. There is a tool inside Taostats that shows you exactly which validators are genuinely working and which ones are collecting your emissions without contributing anything to the network. It is free. It is live. And almost nobody is using it correctly. Here is exactly how to read it. Step 1: Understand what Dominance actually measures. Dominance is not popularity. It is not a ranking of which validator is best. It describes a validator's Stake Weight as a percentage of all validator stake weights combined across the network. Stake Weight is calculated as: root stake multiplied by 0.18, plus all alpha staked across subnets converted into TAO. Root stake is deliberately discounted at 18 percent of its face value. Alpha stake carries the full weight. This means a validator with deep subnet-level staking is structurally more powerful than one sitting purely on root, even if their raw TAO numbers look similar on the surface. When you see a validator with rising Dominance over time, it is not just getting more popular. It is getting more alpha stake directed toward it across active subnets. That is a meaningful signal about where serious capital is moving inside the network. Step 2: Check the Take percentage before you delegate anything. Take is the percentage of emissions the validator keeps for itself. Everything above that number flows to you as a nominator. A validator with a 18 percent Take keeps 18 percent of the emissions their position generates and distributes the remainder to stakeholders. A validator with a 50 percent Take is keeping half of what your stake earns. Most people never look at this number before delegating. It is the first number you should check. A high Take is not automatically a red flag if the validator is genuinely performing well and contributing to the network. But a high Take combined with low VTrust in their subnet performance page is the exact combination that should make you move your stake immediately. Step 3: Open the Validator Performance page and find the VTrust score. This is the number most holders never see. VTrust measures how closely a validator's weight assignments align with the honest stake-weighted majority across the network inside each subnet they operate in. Validators are responsible for evaluating miner output and assigning scores. Those scores go into Yuma Consensus and determine which miners earn emissions. A validator doing genuine evaluation work will have weights that align closely with the honest consensus. High VTrust. Consistent emissions. Reliable nominator returns. A validator that is weight copying, meaning they are simply copying the Yuma consensus scores back onto themselves rather than doing real evaluation, will show a flagged return on Taostats. Their nom/24hr/1k TAO score appears in red. This is Taostats telling you directly: this validator is extracting value from the network without contributing to it. When you stake to a weight copying validator, you are funding a free rider. Step 4: Watch the 24hr Nominator Change column. This number moves fast and it tells you something before any other signal does. A validator losing nominators over consecutive days is a validator that informed stakers are quietly leaving. A validator gaining nominators rapidly while their VTrust is healthy is a validator attracting attention for the right reasons. The 24hr column is the on-chain version of sentiment before sentiment becomes a narrative on social media. Step 5: Check Active subnets alongside Total Weight. Active tells you the number of subnets where the validator has a parent or child hotkey running. A validator with high Total Weight but low Active subnets is concentrated. They are running a specific strategy in specific markets. A validator with broad Active coverage across many subnets is building a wider surface area for emissions and is more exposed to the overall network performance rather than any single subnet cycle. Neither is inherently better. But knowing which type of validator you are delegating to tells you what you are actually betting on when you stake. Step 6: Check the Weight Change column over time. Total Weight is a snapshot. Weight Change is momentum. A validator with stable or growing Total Weight over consecutive days is attracting net new stake consistently. A validator with declining Weight Change is losing stake faster than it is gaining it. Most people look at the current number. The people positioning correctly are watching which direction the number is moving and how fast. The difference between a good validator and a dangerous one is not obvious from the outside. It is not the name. It is not the size. It is the VTrust score, the Take percentage, the nominator trend, and whether Taostats is showing their return in red or not. Every one of those signals is sitting on the Validators page right now. Free. Live. Updated every block. The investors who read the data layer before the narrative layer will not need to explain their staking decisions later. Open Taostats tonight. You will want to find this post when you do.

New short course: Vibe Coding 101 with Replit! Learn to build and host applications with an AI agent in this course, built in partnership with Replit ⠕ and taught by its President Michele Catasta and Head of Developer Relations . Coding agents are changing how we write code. "Vibe coding" refers to a growing practice where you might barely look at the generated code, and instead focus on the architecture and features of your application. However, contrary to popular belief, effectively coding this way isn't done by just prompting, accepting all recommendations, and hoping for the best. It requires structuring your work, refining your prompts, and having a systematic process that lead to a more efficient and effective workflow. I code frequently using LLMs, and asking an LLM to do everything in one shot usually does not work. I'll typically take a problem, partition it into manageable modules, spend time creating prompts to specify each module, and use the model to produce the code one module at a time, and test/debug each module before moving on. A process like this is making me and many other developers faster and more efficient. In this video-only course, you’ll learn how to use Replit’s cloud environment--with an integrated code editor, package manager, and deployment tools--to build and deploy web applications. Along the way, you’ll learn strategies for working effectively with agents and improve your development skills. In detail, you’ll: - Understand principles of agentic code development such as being precise, giving agents one task at a time, making prompts specific, keeping projects tidy, starting with fresh sessions for each new feature, and how to approach debugging. - Learn how to get started with Replit, and key skills for vibe coding: Thinking, using frameworks, checkpoints, debugging, and providing context. - Create a product requirement document (PRD) and wireframe for your agent to build a prototype of a website performance analyzer. - See how to use an agent to make your prototype more visually appealing, and deploy it application others to access . - Learn to build a head-to-head national park ranking app, from a sample dataset, with voting capabilities and persistent data storage, and refine further ask the assistant to recap and explain what it built to find room for improvement and reinforce your learning. By the end of this course, you’ll have a solid foundation in building with coding agents, and a process you can use to keep vibe coding effectively. Please sign up here:

Coaches— As I started receiving offers last fall, I made the decision to enjoy the journey and trust His timing. My plan was to wait until the end of this summer before making a commitment so I could focus on my training and junior season. It’s been an amazing journey, and my recruitment remains OPEN. This summer I’ll be competing across the country against some of the best while continuing to learn about programs and build relationships with coaches as I search for the best fit both on and off the field. I am a middle infielder/utility player who takes pride in my work ethic, preparation, and development. My goal is to be one of the hardest workers on any team, compete at a high level, and help a program win. If you feel like I can help your program, I’d love to connect. I plan to make my decision later this summer.

The video shows the trials of the VT-1-1, a turretless tank with 2 x 105 mm guns, firing on the move at the Putlos training ground in 1976. The casemate (turretless) tank, designed for combat while moving, was introduced in Germany in the mid-1970s as a twin-gun casemate tank (the Soviet term for a "turretless tank"). For practical firing tests in the "target pass" mode, two prototypes were built in the mid-1970s. The first prototype, VT 1-1, was armed with two 105 mm guns, while the second, VT 1-2, was equipped with two 120 mm smoothbore guns. Additionally, the VT 1-2 featured a functioning autoloader behind one of the guns, with a firing rate of 10 rounds per minute. The vehicles were developed as part of the KPz 3 or Leopard 3 project. In both prototypes, the main guns were semi-fixed (with aiming and stabilization only in elevation). The chassis solutions were derived from the KPz 70 (MBT 70) program, with the running gear shortened by one road wheel (five road wheels per side). The vehicles weighed 36.8 and 43.5 tons, respectively, with a chassis rotation speed of 60 degrees per second. To achieve high maneuverability on rough terrain, 12-cylinder diesel engines from the MB 873 series with enhanced power were used, equipped with four turbochargers: 2000 hp for VT 1-1 and 2200 hp for VT 1-2. This provided an impressive power-to-weight ratio of 54 and 50 hp/ton, respectively, with acceleration to 55 km/h in 11 seconds, though only in a temporary "turbo" mode, as the standard power was 1600 hp. The accuracy of firing with two guns was unmatched by single-gun tanks, as confirmed by the tests. However, due to the novel combat approach, this revolutionary tank concept was rejected by the customer after trials in favor of the conventionally designed Leopard 2. In essence, although the project was developed as the Leopard 3, a tank for the future, it was, in reality, a parallel project and a potential competitor to the Leopard 2. Achieving the firepower, protection, and mobility of the Leopard 3 within reasonable weight limits was impossible with a conventional layout. At the same time, a significant tactical drawback of the casemate concept (including twin-gun casemate vehicles) is the linkage between the direction of fire and the direction of movement, which in many cases could complicate unit and formation control (according to German experts in the 1970s). Moreover, the VT 1-1 and VT 1-2 can hardly be considered balanced vehicles—they could have been simpler. The vehicles' mobility was exaggerated, with the main engine, transmission, auxiliary engine, batteries, and other systems occupying two-thirds of the vehicle's length. Pros and Cons of VT 1-1 and VT 1-2: Considering the key challenges, the twin-gun casemate concept can be evaluated as follows: Pros: Compact design due to a small internal volume. Two guns provide high firepower and hit probability. Cons: The weight advantage of the casemate design is largely offset by the integration of a second gun. Fire control alone results in high complexity, leading to increased maintenance costs and overall expenses. In 1975/76, five Gefechtsfeldversuchträger (GVT, combat test platforms) were developed and built for further mobility and concept trials. These were smaller than the VT 1-1 and VT 1-2, weighing 30 tons. The GVT 01-05 were equipped only with mock-up guns and laser firing simulators (TALLISSI) and telemetry systems, built using chassis components from the Leopard 1. The GVTs were used at the IABG facility in Lichtenau and the tank training school in Munster to test the twin-gun turretless tank concept in realistic exercise conditions, which is why five vehicles were built. However, the Leopard 2 was already in production, and tank crews showed little enthusiasm for this unconventional vehicle requiring a new approach.

Before high carbohydrate fueling, I finished every race totally wrecked. Even in my best races, I’d cross the finish line desperate to stop. As an athlete, I had no idea how anyone could go farther than 50k. With high carb, I had a new realization: what I thought was an endurance limitation was just a fueling limitation. 100 milers feel easier than some trail 30ks I used to do. But knowing the science of high carb and actually slurping down tons of gels in a race setting are two different things. Episode 10 is all about a practice race at the Cheyenne Mountain 50k where the main goal was to get over 125 grams of carbs per hour (500+ calories) in an urgent, high-performance setting (I got to 135 grams per hour, which was a prelude to 150 grams per hour at my 50 miler 2 weeks later). It’s a super fun video by amazing director Cody Bare and presented by The Feed 🧡 Watch here and subscribe: What does high carb look like for everyone? It doesn’t have to be complicated! When you are pushing harder, start with a 40 gram of carb gel every 30 min plus electrolyte drink for hydration, dialed into your sweat needs. I think that anyone can learn to take a 40 gram gel every 30 min, and that alone will do more for endurance performance than almost every training intervention (except easy running and strides, of course 😂). You deserve high carb. In hard events, it improves adaptation AND health outcomes. Don’t listen to anyone preaching to you about health risks or fat adaptation like it’s 2010. The science has moved past that. Fuel the work you are doing. I just wish I could go back to 2010 and show my younger self this video of the end of a 50k. Oh how different the next 13 years could have been! That’s why I come to you with this message now: Give yourself the gift of higher carb, and higher carb will give you the gift of exploring new horizons. Carbs are for everyone 🧡💚💜

I originally did these as duck walks with a dip belt, loading pin, and handle with Odd Haugen in the early 2000s for strongman. Back when strongman conditioning looked less like a fitness influencer salsa routine and more like a couple pissed off ranch bulls fighting over the last hay bale at the county auction. Now I use them primarily as prehab for my ankles and feet. Funny enough, they relieved my ankle soreness better than almost anything else I tried. I personally just do one ugly nonstop set. Sometimes up to 5 minutes straight. Looks like a wounded gorilla dragging a feed trough through wet cement. Works unbelievably well. Later I used lighter versions with general fitness clients in Santa Barbara and Nashville. I even used them training bikini competitors at Metroflex. Then football players. Baseball players. Big strongman mutants. I still use them for both performance and rehab. Why they hit different: Wide stance + marching shifts stress hard into the feet and ankle complex, glutes, adductors, and outer hips. The hanging loading pin forces stabilization the whole time. No smooth machine groove. No fancy bearings. No uptown country club feel. Just you, gravity, and consequences. The loading pin changes everything. The weight hangs straight down and drags you forward into the balls of the feet. That lights up the foot intrinsics, ankles, calves, hip stabilizers, and core anti rotation. It feels more like manual labor than exercise. More raw. More athletic. Less “fitness machine.” The movement also has a semi unilateral feel to it without the balance demands or joint stress of true single leg work. Easy learning curve. Massive carryover. I actually have a very nice belt squat machine. Originally the loading pin setup was out of necessity because I had no other option. Now it’s 100% my preference. Like choosing gas station barbecue over some tiny downtown steakhouse charging you $94 to leave hungry. Now I use them constantly for ankle resilience, conditioning, GPP, posterior chain work, and big athletes that need conditioning without getting beat up from running. One of the best high school strength coaches in the country, Coach Thomas Fahey Coach Fahey , shared a potentiation protocol with me using these. Coach Fahey has pushed these much heavier than I have and gotten incredible results with athletes. I have not personally run this exact protocol yet, but it was too interesting not to share. 2 minutes continuous marching at roughly 3 steps per second. Then immediately: 4–8 max height jumps. When jump height plateaus or drops off: Add a plate and repeat. If jumps improve again: Add another plate. Repeat for rounds 3, 4, 5… Constant tension. Short ROM. Low soreness. Very economical. You can load these brutally heavy without getting beat to pieces. I’ve also used these as conditioning intervals on machine belt squats while carrying sandbags. But the loading pin version still feels different. More foot. More ankle. More hip stabilization. More real world carryover. Best part? You can go brutally heavy safely. I personally have not pushed the limits on these yet. Coach Fahey has pushed them much harder with great results. I still think there’s another level there most people have not tapped into. Who else has messed with these?

I originally did these as duck walks with a dip belt, loading pin, and handle with Odd Haugen in the early 2000s for strongman. Back when strongman conditioning looked less like a fitness influencer salsa routine and more like a couple pissed off ranch bulls fighting over the last hay bale at the county auction. Now I use them primarily as prehab for my ankles and feet. Funny enough, they relieved my ankle soreness better than almost anything else I tried. I personally just do one ugly nonstop set. Sometimes up to 5 minutes straight. Looks like a wounded gorilla dragging a feed trough through wet cement. Works unbelievably well. Later I used lighter versions with general fitness clients in Santa Barbara and Nashville. I even used them training bikini competitors at Metroflex. Then football players. Baseball players. Big strongman mutants. I still use them for both performance and rehab. Why they hit different: Wide stance + marching shifts stress hard into the feet and ankle complex, glutes, adductors, and outer hips. The hanging loading pin forces stabilization the whole time. No smooth machine groove. No fancy bearings. No uptown country club feel. Just you, gravity, and consequences. The loading pin changes everything. The weight hangs straight down and drags you forward into the balls of the feet. That lights up the foot intrinsics, ankles, calves, hip stabilizers, and core anti rotation. It feels more like manual labor than exercise. More raw. More athletic. Less “fitness machine.” The movement also has a semi unilateral feel to it without the balance demands or joint stress of true single leg work. Easy learning curve. Massive carryover. I actually have a very nice belt squat machine. Originally the loading pin setup was out of necessity because I had no other option. Now it’s 100% my preference. Like choosing gas station barbecue over some tiny downtown steakhouse charging you $94 to leave hungry. Now I use them constantly for ankle resilience, conditioning, GPP, posterior chain work, and big athletes that need conditioning without getting beat up from running. One of the best high school strength coaches in the country, Coach Thomas Fahey Coach Fahey , shared a potentiation protocol with me using these. Coach Fahey has pushed these much heavier than I have and gotten incredible results with athletes. I have not personally run this exact protocol yet, but it was too interesting not to share. 2 minutes continuous marching at roughly 3 steps per second. Then immediately: 4–8 max height jumps. When jump height plateaus or drops off: Add a plate and repeat. If jumps improve again: Add another plate. Repeat for rounds 3, 4, 5… Constant tension. Short ROM. Low soreness. Very economical. You can load these brutally heavy without getting beat to pieces. I’ve also used these as conditioning intervals on machine belt squats while carrying sandbags. But the loading pin version still feels different. More foot. More ankle. More hip stabilization. More real world carryover. Best part? You can go brutally heavy safely. I personally have not pushed the limits on these yet. Coach Fahey has pushed them much harder with great results. I still think there’s another level there most people have not tapped into.

🦘🇦🇺My take on Ange Postecoglou. If you disagree, that's fine. Freedom of speech, your opinion might be listened to or not. Mine is, I know by who. That's what I care about. 🌏Postecoglou has coached every age group at national / international level on 3 continents. That's inspirational and commands respect, if he was to be found out, as he said, he'd have been a long time ago like these former pros who cry because they get a U19 team relegated (ask me the names). 🤓From a footballing standpoint, he's not making up theoretical shit like all these nerds jumping up on the Pro License barely coaching a team; and scrambling to figure out the reality of the sport/people in Phase 2, 3 doing the polar opposite to what they told everyone they'd do. 🧠The football Postecoglou sets up has room for decision making within a structure which is an extraordinary achievement from a coaching standpoint, and what every coach in the world should aspire to do. Ajax or Netherlands 1974, Nantes 1995, Rijkaard's Barcelona, Wenger's Arsenal. If you like "good football" , this is good football. If you want to win, pay more and get the best players. The correlation is right there. 🔁There's rotations everywhere (think triangles who tilt, carrier and two options short/long), and players have 2-3 options everytime. The right balance between combinations into feet and third man runs (third man runs are vital - and often forgotten when nerds coach teams and have a control kink) 🫡For that, you need a club culture of empowered players caring about the common good ; and also good enough to act selflessly to what the game demands (and actually execute it). ⚖️The challenge is that bang average off the mill pros do what they're told, can't do most things. And ones who can't do play the solo card - football is an individual sport masquerading as a team sport. 👀I can confidently second guess that the hesitation in collective movement suggest they're thinking in real time and not going "by the book" (which is microwave coaching). 👥How often Postecoglou talks about culture, turning up together for a meal before games. Old school, but actually grounded. This isn't a startup or UberEats. 🧘‍♂️There's a handful of adults coaching Premier League teams. Slot maybe, Howe, Emery, Frank, Glasner, Moyes, McKenna who value the holistic composition of performance: squad chemistry, work ethic, managing people and treating them as adults. Coincidence or not, I rate all of them. Coincidence, they all overperfom with the resources they have. 🚩Defensively, the idea to hold a high line can make sense on the occasion. Most of you don't work in football. People who do know the biggest paradox in the modern age is that lot of players are outstanding to think smart and execute fast in high pressure situations; yet are out of their depth when they have time and space to think. 🫣Chelsea 11v9 took half an hour to break down 9 fuckers on halfway line, and people know how badly it reflected on one of the worst assemblage of players ever seen pound for pound. And that's not Postecoglou's team. Then again, listen to who you want. I've done it too. 9v11 winning 5-2 from 2-1 down at National level whilst the other team was spamming diagonals out of play. 🚑The injury crisis is worrying, but it's also a vicious circle. Majority of clubs nowadays sign players to replace injured players. If you get one or two key players injured by the extreme random demands of the game (facing a Haaland, Jackson etc... stretches your CBs to the limit - Van de Ven got muscular in game injury like Rodri got injured like Fofana got injured). 🚁💰I don't think the training methods are in question; not should they be questioned more than Pep or Maresca's who can actually afford to get replacement brought in (and still get injuries) - and never get questioned. Spurs play Gray at CB. Chelsea can afford to call Chaloback, or City sign another 40 million a piece CB. 🕳️Spurs lost Kane and finished 5th, like nothing happened. That's outstanding. 📼⛳️Training clip: possession box to create the moment to change gear and find a striker dropping off the front. What happens then is a "wave" 3v2, with decision making. Drive diagonally, straight pass for diagonal runs. Affordances (what players perceive they can play) and match realism. See the cut off corners to guarantee runs going towards goal. Can't be more modern, evidence based, empowering, enjoyable and football realistic. 🏟️🎞️Game footage: look how they're using each pass as a timeline to allow a third man popping up in space. Good reaction on turnover. See another triangle being created, with players selflessly filling in the tips of the triangle even rotating. Matar Sarr gets sucked into the space, puts an outstanding goalmouth delivery with presence and bodies in the box - especially at the far post. Brennan who everyone called a flop. Tremendous, organic (= player led) output. What you can do = the team's outlook. ⚽️I'm talking football there, not theory, not pattern playbook, not fiscal optimisation. 📊Spurs are working on relative budget. Don't budget CL football. Spend 40% turnover on wages, when Chelsea's etc... are 70% or Leicester 120%. 🏇💉It's like the only clean horse in a race when others are stuffed with red bull, cocaine and creatine. And some of you Peaky Blinders are looking everywhere - even if you saw the episode where they stuff the horse to make it win.
