In this post, Grant breaks down how he trains for his lightning footwork and incredible agility.
The way Grant moves on his feat is genuinely spectacular and in this video he not only shows the footwork drills he uses, but also explains how to get the most out of them by training intentionally, consistently, and with good form.
This is amazing for martial artists, as well as footballers and other athletes. BUT it's also important for anyone who wants to move gracefully and with poise. Agility can genuinely save your life if you're in an accident and it's one of the first things to go as we age.
What do you guys think? Do you train agility specifically?

Some topic ideas: -What are your thoughts on drinking raw eggs? -Thoughts on any and all possible applications of CONTRAST baths. Not just ice baths, not just hottubs or jacuzzi's, but alternating between the two every five minutes or so for 20 or 30 minutes. -Thoughts on any and all possible uses of foam/PVC rolling, massage guns, and inversion tables.

Two days ago, some grating at work dropped out from under me, and caught myself on a pipe before I fell all the way through. It tweaked my back a little, but otherwise I'm okay. I've resolved to get myself back into decent shape so I can avoid getting injured like that. Thanks for sticking with it as long as you have, giving schlubs like me inspiration, and enjoy your vacation. This new guy seems to know his stuff, too.

Well done dude. Great ideas and brilliant execution. (I'm 23-yrs a physical therapist and flexibility/movement teacher and pick holes in everything - this was bulletproof). Really valid point re agility loss with age, fast twitch fibres turn off first and the best way to get them back online os to overload the remaining slow twitch with weights or endurance work like this.

I love your videos and I follow your advices for a very specific goal : compensating my EDS. I went from unable to stand or walk to being an "athlete in my own category". Your content is precious for disabled or injured people and I think it's kind of a shame that it might not reach this audience. Because 1) I discovered your channel because I'm a gym rat but most of "us" aren't and won't think your badass looking videos would apply to them and 2) your content is really oriented on able-bodied amazing athletes and their high impact sport practice (even though it's often applicable for people aiming to get a healthier body). Maybe my comment isn't relevant in the sense that it would take too much work for too little people in your audience, I don't know. Just thought I would share my perspective ! Thank you for your work !!

There's a very interesting overlap here between agility and plyometric training. Based on what I know, the brunch difference seems to be the rate of force production and length of work/rest cycles, but the general motion ideas seem to be quite similar. I'm going to steal some of this to do after my plyometrics.

I'd love to get to that level, in fact I tried some movements, but my knees feel a bit weak for all that. 37 years of age, 6 foot 3 with lean/ weak legs, haven't done much sports growing up. I think I need to strengthen my knees before I try this and fall apart. Can you please make another video of getting how a beginner getting knees ready to follow these drills please. Really appreciated. 🙏

I can see how these can help cause it forces the brain to adapt to the movements that the body initially isn't used to. But once you've mastered these movements and can't get any faster (basically just speed endurance from then on) you can either progress by making the movements more complex to give your brain a new stimulus, or add a bit of weight. But I feel as if once you start making the movements too complex you might as well be doing crossfit. Then you can just apply the principles mentioned in this video to whatever movements that your sport or endeavor consists of. It's all about manipulating variables to stimulate adaptation. After a long while you seriously get a bit bored.
