Oh shit, I dont know if I would have noticed that had I not seen this comment! Brian is a cool dude.

Time stamp?

Good catch!

His new bushcraft stuff is good too if you're interested, I'd recommend try one

That’s because he will never stop learning, that’s why he’s one of the best👌🏿

Agreed, those sound cues/effects are top notch, not to mention the cybor/electronic-style data showing up

These videos are like a masterclass in coaching.

just Ego 1100 lb is insane

lol the way he reeled him in, that had me chuckling.

It's funny because it's true. 🤣

First thing I was thinking before Dave ever even said it haha.

lmao if you know anything about Dave you better expect it. He will viciously tear down your form, but is amazingly supportive when you improve.

There are 3 very solid articles on elitefts.com about BJJ right now. There are also a slew of awesome articles about MMA and combat sports in general. I highly recommend the book ConjugateU for applying conjugate training to athletes. Very easy to apply that book, but full of info!

Watch the instagram for when it is reopened

No

@@tommygifford7975 incorrect, everyone’s shin angle will be different depending on the lengths of their tibia and fibia, femur, and the length of their torso.

@@tommygifford7975 Yes

@@Wildcamp-lifestyle do you mean anthropometry? If so, then yes it does influence shin angle, but it's not the only factor. Shin angle can also be influenced by technique variables like stance width, hip internal/external rotation, hip/ankle mobility, etc. You can take nearly anyone with adequate hip mobility (regardless of their anthropometry) and get them to squat with their knees over their toes, mid-foot, or ankles by manipulating these variables. And you may want to manipulate someone's shin angle to optimize their technique for muscular strengths/weaknesses (as well as their anthropometry).

Sleeve's will make no difference on squat form

Knees out/gripping with your feet activates your hips and glutes regardless of gear

An imaginary line between the hip joint and the knee joint shall be parallel to the ground. He also mentioned that you train like this and then some weeks before competition, you switch to the competition depth and practice that.

thats true!

It's a cue. The point of a cue is not to be anatomically correct, but to get someone to perform a specific action. Dave has explained how he uses cues many times in his videos and podcasts. Taken out of context, the cues he uses may sound bad or incorrect. But the point is to get the athlete to do what he wants them to do. Did you see anyone rotating dangerously? No, and he would have corrected immediately if they had. It's literally not physically possible to rotate at the knee itself in any significant way anyways. It's a hinge joint. In order to rotate the knee, you have to rotate the hip. Which is why he chose to use that cue. Many times athletes will not understand when you tell them to externally rotate their hips, but you tell them to point their knees out and they understand. That's coaching.

6'5" here too. Put a band around both knees and 'overload' the idea of pushing your knees out
