This is actually the best and most clear cut explanation of GOATA I've come across. Didn't really feel like I understood it before seeing this video, despite having watched a few hours of GOATA videos.

I love how Mark is open to understanding and learning GOATA.

Lol at Andrew changing his seating position from front chain to back chain dominance when coach pointed out how everyone's sitting in their chairs right now.

This is a game changer for me. I've heard of Goata a lot but never heard the details. Thanks so much!

Honestly all of this stuff can be applied by people simply running and jumping barefoot more often. You don’t have to actually THINK about keeping your feet straight once you practice running and jumping with good mechanics for a few sessions. But IMO even Powerlifters should be training to run and jump barefoot cuz that’s healthy human movement, and they’ll excel at their sport because of itz

These guys really need someone who can clearly articulate a point without continuous digressions and forcing this nonsensical terminology

This is just movement assessments something that was really popular about 15 years repackaged and brand nicely.

One thing I would say they may have wrong. If you’re not using your heel, you’re not using your glute. Just because people usually roll incorrectly from the heel directly into the inside ball, causing all sorts of problems doesn’t mean the heel is the problem. It’s the sequence. Instead of rolling and springing properly from heel, to outside ball, to inside ball, people are skipping the second step and leaving that outside(including of their glute) not firing as it could/should. This doesn’t just stop applying up the chain. You want to be able to take the weight of your body plus more and drive, with the outside of your foot, knee, AND glute. And if you’re wondering why people struggle so much with their knees and lower backs, the answer is neither are getting the support they need from the glutes.

Dude this shit is so revolutionary. This is saving my dreams and like they said in the podcast giving me back my birthrights. “Outsiders” change the world. Thank you guys. Thanks Mark for bringing them on 🙏

I've always said that you fix the feet and the head positioning, you could resolve 99% of musculo-skeletal issues.

I love this new information put out ....all positive new ways for longevity

I wonder what the like/dislike ratio on this will be. Too bad KZfaq removed it

Amazing, thanks for sharing!

I thought Christopher was Kelly with the hat. Keen to know his take on all this.

Isn’t the ankle a “sliding” joint similar to the wrist? I thought the shoulder and hip were the only ball and socket joints in the body?

Would be great to take the GOATA Headquaters to the next level and remove those chairs and tables. ;). start having meetings down on the floor ! With small stools helping those that can’t rest so comfortably in a GOATA resting position.

This stuff seems really important. I am also reminded of things I’ve heard from Kelly Starrett along these lines.

I agree with this philosophy, But culture has made us believe that an aligned foot is unmanly. Never move from the heel.. The athletic stance is on the balls of the feet

Really really great video!! Love the information which is so important yet ignored or unknown by most westerners. Keep it up!

Functional Patterns has been doing this for many years and everyone called Naudi "crazy, pointless, and stupid."

I’ve been walking barefoot or with minimal shoes with my feet facing more forward. It’s starting to feel good. Trying to jog/run is next.

Thanks for the breakdown I love it!

Magnificent stuff!

thank you it was very easy to follow

This makes them seem a lot less like snake oil salesman. Thanks for posting this, really helps their image.

Cut the malarkey.

So how did native people pick up large stones or objects from the ground? I’m sure people have been picking up heavy objects from the ground forever. How do native people still do it? Great educational video btw 👍🏼

I was watching a video of myself carrying my 30 lbs baby and my left ankle caved in every time left foot touched the ground. Over past years I've twisted both ankles jogging on trails and some back and knee injuries as well.

Great thing about such platforms is that we learn different opinions and can build our own. Some would want to ban misinformation, but it also sharpend our understanding. Thanks for triggering?!

-Is it something wrong with that Right hip? + I have 2 fake hips. 😞😮 Mmh ok sir 😢

They don’t seem as structured as kneesovertoes, seems a bit more old school physical therapy/football rehab

goata is the way by the simple fact that u can only activate soleus consistently thru iabh

This guy said the same thing for 30 minutes with the words shuffled around in every possible way. Just enough sense to make it almost seem like there is more to it. Smells of bs

Almost believable

Where is part 2...I need 4 hours of this...at least.

What app is this guy using for the videos?

How do we get a hold of these guys if we want to learn more? Please advise.

How about in Asia(Bali) scooter living people the feet are turned way out, is that all since scooters

I can’t imagine anyone squatting on their pointed in toes, feet close together like that.

So there is one big bone of contention here. The arch is designed to contract & relax like any muscle. I do agree with the outer 3 toes being for force absorption but to say the arch is not designed for weight bearing I think is nonsense. Especially when you tale into account the importance of big toe contact for engaging the glutes.Also the comments about second toe straight is very dogmatic, if you don’t assess the hips for ante-version or retro-version then pulling the foot in could be detrimental to someone if that does not match the persons bio-mechanics.

Noticed one of the guys stated he had a bilateral hip replacement, I have had rt knee replacement and my lt. knee is bone on bone. How safe are squats for myself and the total hip replacement person? I do have 30 yrs of powerlifting under my belt but have not lifted heavy or squatted in 15 yrs. So what I'm asking is does a total joint replacement rule out heavy movements ( squats) for us? I have been able to do fairly heavy leg presses ( 900lbs ) x5 with knees wrapped. Great informative video.

What software are they using?

Landmine and sled instead of deadlift and squat? I'm in 👌🏽

I gotta know what kind of accent that is man

Uhm, there simply is NO ball and socket joint at the ankle, an unless you are looking for ridicule, you should fix your vocabulary about well known anatomical landmarks. The Ankle joint is primarly made for plantar/dorsi flexion as it is a synovial hinge. There are pronation and supination movements that occur as well but mainly due to the articulations with the other bones that form the arch. It's incorrect to call it a ball and socket. If you want more credibility I'd call the joint what we know they are. That doesn't mean that your exercises are ineffective. There's a degree of truth that the posterior chain musculature is underserviced these days because of the way society is programmed; sitting too long, too much emphasis on footwear and not enough time walking around barefoot, etc. Exaggerating contact on surfaces that activate posterior chain muscles is not a bad idea. That's what you stumbled upon. Clean up your language and stop ridiculing others and you'll get farther ahead.

Remember when Adrian Peterson tore his ACL? Is he a WOATA?

So what about when a locomotion athlete wants to jump. You watch the highest jumping athletes and they have natural knee valgus before spiraling out with the knees and taking off. I love what they’re saying about locomotion, but they’re missing the weight room application of front chain integrity to make super humans

9:05 that's a duck waddle stance, screaming out '' I'm not efficient thus not fast thus not strong and prone to injury. '' (no disrespect to the guy, best wishes to him!)

Thanks guys for that eye open literature we should know coming from a pigeon toe guy have a great one later

Interesting stuff, but the tall dude is almost panicked in his presentation style. He's loud and fast and actuallynot explaining anything. He's draining to listen to.

Here's one guys I have all ways would walk on may tippy toes 54 years old and I've done it ever since I was a kid and I don't know why

The NY accent with bad grammar guy is $.

I question anyone promoting views on functionality when poor posture is being demonstrated.

lol you'll shill anything to make a buck won't you? Unsubbed.

shit is confusing
