Everything the HLP clan teaches collapses the second you understand actual human movement. This video of Aaron Judge exposes every lie they’ve sold for years. Here’s the full MYTH vs TRUTH breakdown based on biomechanics, not backward pseudoscience. They say “video doesn’t lie,” yet their interpretations do because pseudoscience always comes from misunderstanding what you’re looking at. 👇 Thread: 1/ MYTH: Judge “switches” from a proximal→distal mover in training to an HLP pattern in games. TRUTH: Movement patterns don’t change. Judge moves the SAME way in throwing, sprinting, lifting, & hitting. The task changes the pattern doesn’t. 2/ MYTH: Judge creates tilt by snapping backward over the rear hip. TRUTH: Tilt = head position at foot strike. His nose is behind his bellybutton → natural tilt from posture, not a rearward snap. Average hitters MUST land more centered. Levers matter. 3/ MYTH: Depth comes from turning the barrel back behind you. TRUTH: Depth comes from the lat holding the hands while the pelvis eliminates slack. Same pattern as the throw. The BODY creates depth not a backward barrel turn. 🔍 They claim they “study swings” and “video doesn’t lie.” But they have NO understanding of how the movement BEFORE the swing shapes posture, shoulder angles, and the entire position of the body at foot down. They only see the swing never the movement that creates the swing. 4/ MYTH: Hip–shoulder separation is slow & outdated. HLP is “faster.” TRUTH: They only think separation is slow because they don’t understand what creates it. They can’t see how the pelvis gaining ground pulls the entire system together. 5/ REAL separation happens when: • pelvis gains ground • slack disappears • distal leg anticipates force • torso resists • rear lat anchors the hands • elastic energy loads THROUGH the chain This is the FASTEST pattern a human body can produce. 6/ The “slow separation” they’re critiquing is the FAKE one they teach: Land → stop → freeze → twist into a pose → restart the swing. That IS slow. Real separation is a byproduct of correct sequencing not a drill. 7/ And their claim that HLP is “superior”? Any movement specialist can see through it instantly: No pelvis lead. No proximal→distal sequencing. No force coupling. No front-side anchor. No adjustability. Just compensation. 8/ MYTH: The front leg is just where weight lands. TRUTH: The front side is the guide hand of the swing. It braces, anchors, steers, and PULLS the backside under through force coupling. This is why the back foot releases forward collision, not collapse. 9/ MYTH: “Tilt first, then turn.” TRUTH: Tilt is a downstream RESULT of: • pelvis eliminating slack • knee pulling under • torso organizing plane Tilt is never a pose. Never a snap. Never a gimmick. 10/ MYTH: Judge’s issues on high FB or outer third prove his hand path is flawed. TRUTH: It’s head position at foot strike. More backside head → more tilt → harder to match high. Less front-side weight → spin off outer third. Movement drives swing outcomes. 11/ MYTH: HLP coaches can diagnose movement. TRUTH: They only see swings. They NEVER see: • center mass • pelvis-led sequencing • lat-driven hand control • ground-force anticipation • force coupling • posture organization They study SWINGS, not MOVEMENT which is why they don’t understand anything happening before foot strike, where every elite movement pattern is actually built. 12/ FINAL TRUTH: Judge is a proximal → distal mover. Every elite hitter is. The only people confused are the ones who don’t understand human movement and interpret the swing through a METHOD instead of biomechanics. They study swings like children watching cartoons, but they do not understand the movement system that PRODUCES the swing.

The muscle group that makes men over 40 look old from behind: Rear delts. It's pretty easy to spot if this applies to you. Just stand side on in front of a mirror. You'll notice your shoulders will be rolled forward, likely your head is forward too, and your posture resembles something akin to Quasimodo. And you shouldn't be surprised. This is what happens after 25 years of pressing and desk work training the FRONT of your shoulder while the back of it did nothing. Every push you've ever done pulled your shoulders forward. Almost nothing you've done pulls them back into the socket. The fix I use (and recommend to clients too)? Seated single arm rear delt row with a high elbow and a roller squeezed between the knees. Why each piece matters: High elbow = this is what separates it from a normal row. Elbow travels out and up, in line with the rear delt fibers. Row with a tucked elbow and your lats take over. Lats are already strong. That's not the target. Seated + roller squeeze = pelvis anchored, ribs stacked, spine can't lean back to cheat the weight up. The rep comes from the shoulder, not momentum. No squeeze, and the lean-back creeps in by rep six. Single arm = most men over 40 have one shoulder blade that sits lower and works worse. Bilateral rows let the good side carry it. One arm at a time, the weak side gets found out and fixed. Cable = tension through the whole arc, including the stretched position in front of your body where the rear delt actually needs work. The rear delt pulls your arm back in line with your body. Train it and your shoulders sit where they did at 30. You'll find your shirts hang differently and you'll command a more assertive posture in board meetings and Zoom calls. Remember... User a lighter weight, high elbow and feel the back of the shoulder do the work. Most guys never have.

Since 2020, the athletes I’ve trained have earned 32 college scholarships, including some of the biggest programs in the country. One player I helped completely rework her movement went on to become the 2022 ACC Player of the Year. What makes it special is that I’m not connected to any organization, and I don’t have hundreds of athletes cycling through. My training happens in a Little League cage, no tech, no Rapsodo, no bat speed sensors. Everything I teach comes down to one thing: learning how to move from the center out. Five years ago, I realized we were training like everyone else chasing one swing method, one path and all my hitters started to look the same. I knew something was missing. That’s when I dove into movement science, retrained my own body, and discovered that real development doesn’t come from mechanics or cookie-cutter paths. I’ve never been one to settle. Today, I have a few trusted mentors across the country whom I speak with daily about movement and hitting, and I’ve spent significant time learning from them. Most parents and coaches think the next “best drill” will fix a player’s swing. What they don’t understand is that a tool starting in the hands cannot fix the swing. Real development starts from the middle out controlling center mass first. Start at the hands or barrel, and you fight the body’s natural movement. The swing doesn’t happen overnight. Consistency and true swing change come from years of learning how to move properly. When athletes get strong, develop great habits, and understand how to control their center, development skyrockets. Stay patient. Stay consistent. Prioritize movement over results. The swing is built on movement, not mechanics. Control your center, and the rest of the body follows. Adjustability, power, and consistency all start here. At the end of the day, I don’t care what a swing looks like I care how the body moves. Every athlete who trains here learns to control their center, adapt to every pitch, and build a swing that works naturally. Control your center. Control your swing. Be the best version of yourself.

A common hitting flaw that is rarely corrected and can exposes certain hitters at higher levels, is “leaking” … the player’s front side is “running away” from contact prematurely. Sometimes also called “spinning off” the ball. This means energy is escaping the swing because of a chain of events that usually begins with the incorrect action of the stride foot. Correctly engaging the stride foot into the ground, called “foot-plant,” allows the body to efficiently sequence. As a result, the swing is shorter and barrel stays in the hitting zone longer. The BIG key is we have to be able to ***control our front knee*** before starting to swing. If a hitter can control their front knee and their front side a hair longer, stay behind contact, and attack the inside of the ball, it creates more whip.…(bat speed) and improves plate coverage. You might need to watch the video a couple times, because there are various ways to stride that allow the hitter to control their front knee. It is not a one size fits all action. And hitters who have sick power and want to pull the ball intentionally might actually “leak and clear” on purpose. But players who like to stay to middle of the field, might want to see what the initial movement into foot plant looks like. **** Remember, what happens to the front foot (stride foot) AFTER contact has little consequence. Often heavy torque causes it to fly open, or roll on side of foot. That’s all ok.

Fernando Tatis Jr is hitting .242 with a 3.5° average launch angle and a career-low 20% pull rate. Everyone has ideas and analysis on how to fix Fernando Tatis Jr’s swing. It’s pretty awful and I can’t take anymore of this, I have to say something because I haven’t seen a single person give the right answer. I’ve seen multiple people talk about timing mechanisms like toe tap, stride, and leg lift in his swing mechanics that have absolutely nothing to do with his problem. That reverting to past timing mechanisms would somehow help him. THEY ARE ALL WRONG Because they’re all looking in the wrong place. This isn’t a stride problem or timing problem. It’s a tilt problem. Stride, leg lift, and toe tap are timing mechanisms. They control WHEN the hips fire not HOW the bat moves through the zone. A hitter with a Sosa leg kick and a no-stride Ichiro stance can produce identical launch angles.Timing has no lever that touches the bat at contact. What actually sets launch angle is attack angle or the vertical direction the bat is traveling at the moment it meets the ball. Swing up through the zone = ball lifts Swing flat = grounders Swing down = choppers Attack angle is the only mechanical input that matters for elevation and attack angle isn’t random. It’s a direct output of shoulder tilt. When the trail shoulder drops below the lead shoulder at contact, the entire swing axis tilts. The bat is now forced to travel upward through the zone. More tilt > steeper attack angle > higher launch angle. Period. Tatis’s attack angle tells the entire story: 2023: +12° attack angle, +1° pull-side direction/25 HRs 2024 : +10° attack angle. -2° oppo direction 21HRs in 104 games 2025: +8° attack angle, 0° direction/25 HRs, healthy 2026: +5° attack angle, −5° oppo direction His swing has flattened AND drifted away from his pull side. Both are tilt collapse. That −5° oppo attack direction is the giveaway. When you lose tilt, your bat doesn’t just flatten it also gets steered toward the opposite field, because a level swing naturally pushes the barrel away from your pull side. He’s not late. He’s not under-striding. His axis collapsed Over the last few years and it’s worse than ever this year. This explains the 20% pull air rate too. Pulling the ball in the air requires positive attack angle AND a contact point out front. (Ramon Laureanos 2025 attack Angle was +14) If you tinker with timing on a flat swing, an earlier contact point just produces a pull-side grounder. The direction changes. The launch angle does not. Let me break it down for you: Stride > Weight Shift > Hip Rotation >TILT > ATTACK ANGLE > BAT PATH > Contact > Launch Angle Stride is four steps upstream. Tilt is the gate. Attack angle is the output that actually moves the ball. So now we know what’s wrong, how do we fix him? Souza and the Padres staff need to focus on the following; 1.Restore 8–12° rear-high shoulder tilt 2.Get attack angle back to +10° to +12° with neutral or +1° pull direction 3.THEN evaluate timing tweaks 4. If someone is telling him to flatten out his swing or to let the ball travel more PLEASE STOP DOING THAT. That doesn’t work for him You cannot time your way to elevation. Fix the tilt. Attack angle returns. Pull air follows. Please watch the video to see how his swing has gotten worse and flatter. We only have bat path data starting in 2023

🚨 VIDEO FRAME ANALYSIS. WHAT THE CAMERA ACTUALLY SHOWS 🚨 This still is from ICE Agent Johnathan David Ross's own cellphone footage. It matters bc perspective matters. First. Camera angle. The phone is already canted off the driver side. That means the agent was not directly in front of the vehicle. He’s offset. Side angle. Not a head-on threat. Second. Steering input. Look at the driver’s hands. That is a classic hand-over-hand steering motion. That’s how u turn a wheel to redirect a vehicle. Not how u accelerate straight into someone. The motion is consistent with turning away, not charging forward. Third. Vehicle movement. From the camera’s perspective the vehicle is angling away from the agent, not tracking directly toward him. The front wheels are turned. The hood line shifts laterally. Physics doesn’t lie even when press releases do. Fourth. Agent positioning. Federal use-of-force training is explicit. Do not cross in front of a moving vehicle. Officers are trained to angle off. create distance. disengage. Stepping into the path of a car collapses the decision tree into lethal force. That’s called manufacturing a threat. Fifth. Policy. ICE follows DHS Use of Force Policy. It mirrors DOJ standards. Firearms are not to be discharged at moving vehicles unless deadly force is unavoidable. Officers are expected to move out of the vehicle’s path when feasible. Standing in front of a car then firing violates core training doctrine. Bottom line. The camera angle shows he wasn’t squarely in front. The driver’s hands show she was turning. The vehicle trajectory shows lateral movement away. The agent crossed in front anyway. This isn’t hindsight quarterbacking. This is video. geometry. and the policy ICE agents are trained to follow. Spin fades. Frames don’t. What's your thoughts?

The single-leg RDL ( or as some may call a hip hinge) is one of my favourite unilateral movements for building strength and control through the entire posterior chain, from your mid/lower back, to the glutes and hamstrings. Most athletes focus on just getting strong under load and while that’s important, there’s another key piece that often gets overlooked: creating length and extension through the whole body. Think about creating distance between your rear heel and the top of your head that’s where the magic happens. Here’s how I like to coach this movement: 1️⃣ RDL box-assisted with a slider — This gives your athlete a stable base to feel supported while learning to reach through that back leg. It’s a semi-passive way to build the right pattern safely. 2️⃣ Foam roller progression — Now we add a bit more difficulty. Holding a foam roller between your rear foot and same side hand forces you to stay long and connected from head to heel. 3️⃣ Banded active correction — Here, we make it active. Pressing your rear foot into the band creates that intentional extension and full-body engagement. Once your athlete has mastered these three progressions, they’re ready to load the real RDL — and you’ll notice better balance, smoother control, and a stronger hinge pattern overall. Remember: the goal isn’t just to move heavy weight, it’s to move well first. When athletes learn to own the movement, performance follows.

There is something truly remarkable about the third movement of Ludwig van Beethoven’s Piano Sonata No. 14 in C-sharp minor, Op. 27 No. 2. It is one of the most famous piano movements in the world. Yet if we try to find a simple melody that can be easily hummed, we may notice something fascinating: this movement is not built around a memorable melody in the usual sense. There is no long, gentle singing line. There is no simple theme that immediately settles into the listener’s memory. Instead, Beethoven creates a world of intense motion: notes rushing forward without rest, powerful chords filled with tension, and waves of sound constantly rising and colliding with one another. So what gives this movement such extraordinary vitality after more than two centuries? The answer does not lie in how many notes Beethoven wrote. It lies in the way he transformed the smallest elements into a tremendous source of energy. Beethoven did not write this movement merely for listeners to remember a melody. He wrote it so they could feel a force in motion. From the very first notes of the Presto agitato, Beethoven draws the listener into a world without rest. The broken chords of C-sharp minor (C♯–E–G♯) continuously move across the keyboard. Taken individually, these notes are not extraordinary. But Beethoven was not concerned with the power of each single note. He was concerned with the relationship between them. One note leads naturally to the next. One small movement creates a larger movement. A continuous stream of sound emerges, like a force that cannot be stopped. This is one of Beethoven’s greatest artistic secrets: his ability to take simple materials and transform them into an idea of immense scale. Like a small seed that grows into a great tree, a few basic notes in Beethoven’s hands can become an entire world of emotional depth. When listening to this movement, many people are first captivated by its speed. The endless rushing passages of the piano create the impression of a storm gathering strength. But speed itself is not the true source of power. If it contained only rapid notes, the music might impress us for a moment but would struggle to become a lasting masterpiece. What makes Beethoven different is that he transforms speed into an expression of will. Above, the right hand moves continuously like an unstoppable current of energy. Yet beneath it, the left hand provides strong accents, creating a sense of weight and stability. One side represents movement. The other represents gravity. One force pushes forward. The other prevents the entire structure from collapsing. It is this contrast that creates the feeling of a tremendous power under control. Not a chaotic storm. But a storm with form. One of Beethoven’s deepest principles lies in the way he uses tension. The music constantly creates the feeling that it is searching for a place to return. The harmonies are not completely settled. The changes in harmony leave the listener with a sense of anticipation: what will happen next? When will this stream of energy finally be released? Yet Beethoven does not rush toward the answer. He holds the listener in this state of expectation long enough so that when balance finally appears, it carries greater meaning. This is not only a principle of music. It reflects a profound human experience. We often recognize the value of peace more clearly after passing through turbulence. Calmness has little meaning if we have never experienced tension. Light becomes more visible when it appears after darkness. The most remarkable aspect of this movement is that Beethoven never allows emotion to destroy form. On the surface, the music is intense and forceful, but beneath it lies an extraordinarily disciplined structure. The movement follows the principles of sonata form: an idea is introduced, developed, transformed, and eventually returns in a new state. Small motifs repeatedly appear, but each return carries a different meaning. Repetition does not mean standing still. It becomes the foundation for growth. This is also a principle found throughout nature. A river remains a river, yet the water within it is always moving. A heartbeat repeats itself, yet that repetition is what sustains life. Beethoven works in the same way. He does not create greatness by constantly searching for something new. Instead, he discovers depth by developing his original ideas until they reach their fullest expression. The beauty of the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata is not only found in the music itself. It reflects a broader principle. In nature, the strongest forces are often not forces without order. A storm may have tremendous destructive power, yet it still follows the laws of the atmosphere. A mountain remains standing not because it is untouched by forces, but because its internal structure is strong enough to withstand pressure. A healthy body does not exist because nothing changes, but because millions of small processes work together within a shared order. Beethoven achieves the same thing through sound. He takes thousands of small finger movements, hundreds of relationships between notes, and transforms them into a unified structure with direction and purpose. He does not eliminate conflict. He organizes conflict. He does not weaken power. He creates a form large enough to contain it. What distinguishes great artists in the classical tradition is not only technical mastery. It is their ability to perceive the inner structure of a work. In Murray Perahia’s interpretation, listeners do not experience only the speed and intensity of the movement. They also sense the balance beneath it: the precision of rhythm, the logic of harmonic movement, and the connection between each small part and the entire architectural design. Perahia does not attempt to make Beethoven more dramatic than he already is. Instead, he allows Beethoven’s own structure to reveal its strength. Because a great performer does not stand before a work to overshadow it. They become a means through which the inner beauty of the composition can be revealed more clearly. If we were to search for a single principle that defines the greatness of this movement, perhaps it would be this: A great power, when placed within a great order, becomes beauty. Beethoven does not transform anger, tension, and conflict into something softer. He preserves their full force, but builds a structure strong enough to carry them. Therefore, what listeners experience is not merely fingers racing across the keys. They experience something deeper: a storm that still has a shape, an energy that still possesses order, and a struggle that can become beauty. That is why the third movement of the Moonlight Sonata continues to move people across generations. Because behind those powerful sounds is not only a display of technical brilliance. It is an image of a fundamental principle of life: The greatest strength is not strength without control. It is strength that discovers the perfect form of its own expression.

In the Andante movement of Mozart's Piano Concerto No. 21, the "beauty" doesn't lie in a single note, nor in a single expressive moment. It stems from how the entire musical material is organized as a continuous process of tension and resolution, where each event is both the result of what has happened and the condition for what will come next. On the surface, listeners are easily captivated by the softness of the melody, the dialogue between the piano and the orchestra, or the subtle harmonic nuances. However, this is only the phenomenal level. The deeper level lies not in "what the music is," but in "the principles by which the music operates to create the sense of inevitable movement." In Mozart's thinking, no note exists independently. Each sound always carries the aftershock of the previous note and simultaneously creates a tendency towards the next note. It is this continuous movement between tension and release that makes music no longer a series of disconnected events, but a logical flow of movement, where every detail has a reason for existing within the whole. The tension-release mechanism in life Importantly, this mechanism is not unique to music, but reflects a broader structure in human experience. In social relationships, conflict creates an imbalance between people; the process of understanding and adjustment helps restore the stability of the relationship. In biology, the body reacts to threat with a state of tension, and returns to equilibrium when the threat is removed. In psychology, the state of expectation creates mild tension, and completion brings a feeling of relief. At every level, the same pattern can be seen: an unstable state is moved towards a stable state. However, it is important not to understand music as a “simulation of life,” but rather that both music and life can be described by the same principle of organizing experience. Music: where mechanism is refined into structure In classical music, especially in Mozart's compositional thinking, the tension-release mechanism is transformed into a clearly structured language. An unstable note creates a tendency toward a stable note. A chromatic movement creates a sense of deviance from the center. An appoggiatura creates a sense of delay. A modulation to a minor key expands the instability of the entire structure. All these elements do not exist in isolation, but are organized into multi-layered tension-release cycles: microscopic in each note, mesoscopic in each phrase, and macroscopic in the entire structure of the musical movement. The key point is: Mozart did not use these mechanisms to create surprise effects, but to create the feeling that every movement is inherently necessary. This is what creates the seamless and natural flow of the music. Therefore, the beauty in Andante does not lie in a single element, nor in a single compositional technique, but in the tension-release mechanism being organized into a unified system throughout multiple levels of musical structure. At the detailed level, it is present in the relationship between notes and harmonic movement. At the intermediate level, it shapes the structure of each musical phrase. At the overall level, it governs the entire progression of the movement as a unified moving whole. Mozart did not create beauty by eliminating tension, but by organizing unstable states so that they continuously facilitate, guide, and transform into more stable states, thereby forming a dynamic balance throughout the entire musical structure. When these three levels operate simultaneously, the listener no longer perceives "artificiality," but experiences a seemingly natural and continuous flow of movement. It is in this state that the deepest aesthetic value is formed: a sense of a tight, consistent, and inevitable internal order within the sonic timeline.

The Three Hidden Layers of Beauty in Swan Lake: When the Human Body Becomes Art The wonder of classical ballet does not lie in how difficult the movements are. Its wonder lies in a paradox: The techniques that demand the greatest discipline and control appear to the audience as the most natural movements imaginable. The audience does not see the tension in the muscles. They see only beauty. In Swan Lake, three essential techniques help create this unique artistic language. They are not merely dance movements, but three ways in which the human body transcends its own limitations and becomes something more graceful. 1. Port de Bras: When the Body Finds Its Inner Flow A master calligrapher does not create a beautiful stroke with the fingers alone. Each line emerges from the coordination of the entire body: posture, wrist, arm, and even breath. The arms in ballet operate according to a similar principle. When Odette extends her arms, the movement does not simply begin with the hands. It travels through the connection of the back, shoulders, and arms before flowing all the way to the fingertips. As a result, the audience does not feel as though they are watching an arm being raised. They experience a stream of movement unfolding before them. Just as a melody is not created by a single note but by the harmonious relationship among many notes, the ballet arm is no longer perceived as separate parts. It becomes a unified line. At that moment, human hands begin to take on the shape of a swan's wings. 2. Pas de Deux: When Two People Create a Single Movement Imagine two people supporting one another as they walk across a narrow path. What allows them to move together with ease is not who is stronger. It is understanding: When to step. When to pause. When to move forward. And when to offer the support the other person needs. A ballet pas de deux works in much the same way. Siegfried is not simply lifting Odette. Nor is Odette a passive body being carried through space. Both dancers participate in a continuous dialogue through movement. The man provides stability and support. The woman actively expands her body into the surrounding space. When their coordination reaches its highest level, the technique gradually disappears from the audience's awareness. It is no longer one person lifting another. It becomes an image of trust, harmony, and mutual support. In that moment, the audience no longer focuses on the physical effort involved. They experience only a sense of lightness, as though the body itself has transcended its own weight. 3. Cambré: When Softness Is Built Upon Strength Imagine a suspension bridge stretching across a vast gap. Its stability does not come from complete rigidity. On the contrary, its curve allows it to distribute force, absorb movement, and maintain balance. If it were too rigid, it would become vulnerable to external stress. If it were too flexible, it would lose its ability to support. Its strength lies in the balance between the two: Soft, yet stable. Flexible, yet structurally sound. The ballet body functions according to the same principle. When Odette performs a cambré, the audience sees a beautiful curve. Yet behind that curve lies a highly precise system of control. The spine opens with intention. The chest continues to lift upward. The neck lengthens. The entire body maintains balance. The curve is not a collapse. It is an expansion into space. Just as a suspension bridge does not fight against force but works in harmony with it, the dancer does not struggle against the body but learns to master it. This is perhaps ballet's most beautiful paradox: To create the appearance of effortless grace, the artist must possess an extraordinary degree of inner discipline. The Source of Swan Lake's Beauty These three techniques do not exist in isolation. They resemble three stages in the elevation of the human body. Port de Bras: The body learns to become a flow. The arms are no longer merely tools for creating shapes; they become a channel through which emotion is carried. Pas de Deux: Two bodies learn to become a harmony. Strength is no longer expressed through effort, but disappears into the subtle coordination between two people. Cambré: The human being learns to find balance between softness and strength. The curve is no longer simply an external shape, but a symbol of control, harmony, and grace. Together, these three layers of beauty form a journey: From the movement of the body. To the connection between people. To the balance within the human spirit. And that may be why Swan Lake is remembered as more than simply a beautiful ballet. Behind its flawless choreography, audiences do not merely see a well-trained body. They see something deeply human: The desire to transform heaviness into lightness. To transform limitation into beauty. To transform discipline into freedom. That is the enduring vitality of classical ballet — an art form in which the body does not merely move through space, but becomes a language through which humanity reaches toward a higher harmony.

This home lunge superset isn't for the faint of heart. The burning heat in your legs will beg you to stop, but the strength and growth you'll reap make it all worth it. 4 sets of 12 forward lunges, then 12 Reverse right away. Build a lower body that stands the test of time: Lunge Form Cues Set-Up: Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips or at your sides. Alignment: Keep your chest up and shoulders back. Step: Take a big step forward, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees. Brace: Engage your core and maintain balance as your front foot lands to stabilize the movement. Push: Drive through your front heel to return to the starting position. Breathing: Inhale as you lower into the lunge, exhale as you push back up. 5 Lunge mistakes and how to avoid them 1. Taking Too Small a Step - What Happens: A short step limits the range of motion, reducing muscle activation in the glutes and quads. - Fix: Step far enough forward to allow both knees to bend at 90 degrees. 2. Rising Onto the Front Toes - What Happens: Lifting the heel shifts balance and reduces engagement of the glutes and hamstrings. - Fix: Keep your front foot flat, pressing firmly through the heel. 3. Poor Hip Alignment - What Happens: Tilting or rotating the hips reduces balance and proper muscle engagement. - Fix: Keep your hips square and aligned with your torso throughout the movement. 4. Feet Too Narrow or Wide - What Happens: Misaligned foot placement reduces stability and increases the chance of losing balance. - Fix: Keep your feet hip-width apart to maintain balance and proper alignment during the lunge. 5. Not Engaging the Core - What Happens: A weak core reduces balance and stability, increasing the risk of wobbling. - Fix: Brace your core upon landing to absorb the impact and keep your torso steady and aligned. Reverse Lunge Form Cues Set-Up: Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, hands on hips or at your sides. Alignment: Keep your chest lifted, core engaged, and shoulders back. Step: Step one leg back, lowering your hips until both knees are bent at 90 degrees. Land: Land on the top of your back foot with the toes pointed to stretch the ankle and prevent assistance from the toes. Push: Drive through your front heel to return to the starting position. Breathing: Inhale as you lower into the lunge, exhale as you push back up. 5 Reverse Lunge Mistakes and how to avoid them: 1. Using the Toes for Support on the Back Foot - What Happens: Relying on the back toes reduces the stretch in the ankle and shifts focus away from the front leg. - Fix: Land on the top of your back foot with the toes pointed to stretch the ankle and isolate the front leg fully. 2. Leaning Forward - What Happens: Leaning forward places unnecessary strain on the lower back and reduces engagement of the glutes and quads. -Fix: Keep your chest up and shoulders back to maintain an upright posture.Letting the Front Knee 3. Collapse Inward - What Happens: Knee valgus increases stress on the knee joint and reduces stability. - Fix: Ensure the front knee tracks over the middle of your foot throughout the movement. 4. Letting the Front Knee Collapse Inward - What Happens: Knee valgus increases stress on the knee joint and reduces stability. - Fix: Ensure the front knee tracks over the middle of your foot throughout the movement. 5. Pushing Off the Back Foot - What Happens: Using the back foot to assist reduces the workload on the front leg. - Fix: Focus on driving through the heel of the front foot to return to the starting position.

Learning From The Outliers This is 17 year old Dylan Block (Michael’s son) hitting 122mph club head speed and 182mph ball speed with a 3 wood. I slowed down the video so you can get a good look at what he does in transition. It is amazing. Towards the end of the backswing you can see how high he gets his hands, and how far towards vertical his left arm gets. Then we can see a beautiful sequence of events, as he slightly bends his knees, which will set him up for a very powerful mini vertical jump later, and builds lots of pressure under his lead foot. (The pressure will actually have started building under his lead foot in the later stages of the backswing). Most of you will be aware of the term “kinematic sequence” which was made popular by TPI , and this refers to the order in which different segments of the body move in the downswing. The most efficient sequences see an unwinding order of pelvis, toros, lead arm, club. In super fast players, it is also common to see them create a big big stretch between these segments. There is a big stretch across the: Pelvis and torso Torso and lead arm Lead arm and wrist There are even more, including the pelvis getting further away from the hands in a vertical fashion, further stretching the torso. There is also the rapid stretch of the quads and calves / Achilles from the rapid “mini squat” which will enable them push off the ground really hard at the right time to aid in the momentum the body can transfer to the club. Muscles can contract more forcefully when they are preceded by a quick stretch. It takes advantage of something called the “Stretch Shortening Cycle” which is a little bit like a sling shot affect. Stretch, then fire. In the golf swing, because there are SO MANY muscles and joints involved, with elite technique like this you can take advantage of many different stretch shortening cycles. This is a key reason why some players who don’t appear very big or very strong can generate such amazing speed. (Being really strong would probably be additive and help reduce injury risk) The sequence of segment unwinding in the downswing is exactly what you want, and they enhance it by creating so much stretch between the segments. Look at how many frames there is in transition before the club head starts rotating about the shaft back down towards the ball. It is very “late”. This is the opposite of what you see with many amateurs who get to the top and immediately “throw” the club head and spin the upper body open. There is then no stretch between the segments, and all the energy is wasted early. This is a great example of amazing swing mechanics, elite mobility, and probably great genetics all interacting. I can’t stress enough how impressive this speed is at 17, while looking so “effortless”. Thanks to Sasho MacKenzie and Young-Hoo Kwon for helping me understand golf biomechanics better.
