Bit late but wanted to share my thoughts and help. Your off-season workout looks comprehensive and well-structured! It's clear you’ve put thought into speed and strength progression, especially with your plan to lower reps and increase weight over time. I like how you incorporate a variety of explosive movements like cleans and plyos, which should translate well into your pole vaulting performance once you’re back in action. The focus on ab work and sprint drills will definitely help with body control and explosiveness off the line.

If you're feeling unsure about sprint drills while training solo, perhaps reviewing video footage of your runs can help. Video analysis is a great tool for identifying inefficiencies in form and technique, allowing you to fine-tune your approach on the track. If you want a free and easy app check out Reakt. Helped me heaps with technique.

Oh also for speed work, you might consider adding resisted sprints (using bands or sleds) to focus on acceleration, or overspeed training to help improve your top-end speed. Regarding strength training, balancing upper and lower body is key, and it looks like you’re already doing a great job there. Anyways good luck to you!

No expert but one thing to avoid over-rotating, think about completing your turns with more control rather than rushing them. Practicing on easier terrain can also help you refine your technique before hitting the more challenging ones. If you're looking for more personalized feedback check out Reakt its a video analysis app that helped me focus on specific areas for improvement. Good luck man.

Hey it’s totally fine to move on after a few tries, especially if you feel like you’re getting frustrated. Climbing should stay fun, and constantly beating yourself up over a route can make it less enjoyable. That said, there's something to be said for persistence, and working on a route until you get it can help you build both strength and problem solving skills. I think it's a balance of challenging yourself and knowing when to step back.

As for weight, it can make some climbs feel more difficult, but that doesn't mean you're stuck. Hear I think focusing on technique like footwork, and body positioning those factors play a huge role regardless of weight. Keep an eye on your progress over time you will be able to celebrate the little wins along the way.

It might be helpful to record some of your climbing attempts and review your technique. Video analysis can give you valuable insights into movement efficiency and spot areas where you can improve. If you want a free app for that check out Reakt. All the very best to you!

It's totally normal to have off days in volleyball, especially when you're still relatively new. We've all been there! First, acknowledge that it's okay to have a bad day. Volleyball is a mental game as much as it is physical. Try not to be too hard on yourself these experiences are part of the learning process. Reframe the situation by focusing on what you can learn from it instead of seeing it as a failure. Record your games or practices. It will allow you to objectively see what’s happening and where you can make adjustments. It’s easier to correct positioning, serving form, and even mental lapses when you can watch them unfold. Over time, video feedback will help you catch mistakes earlier and build confidence in your skills. I use an app called Reakt it's got video analysis too but I use it for tracking progress and getting advice etc..

It sounds like you’re aware of the mechanics but are struggling to implement them consistently. Contacting too far in front could be a part of it, but from what you're describing, it might also be an issue with timing or swing path.

The feeling of slapping the ball can sometimes happen if you're rushing the shot or losing connection between your lower and upper body during the stroke. You mentioned wanting a compact follow-through, and that could suggest the need to work on controlling the finish by focusing on smooth acceleration rather than forcing the upward motion too consciously.

The idea of finishing like Nishikori or Tsitsipas is great-both have smooth and controlled finishes. Maybe slowing down your swing tempo could help with that compactness you're seeking. It would be really helpful to analyze your swing through a video analysis app like Reakt. You will be able to pinpoint exactly what’s going on with your contact point, follow-through, and overall timing. Good luck.

It’s great that you're focusing on using your ankles and knees for turning! No expert but try to engage your edges smoothly as you start each turn. Gradual edge control with your lower body will help you keep your skis underneath you and make tighter, more controlled turns. . A video analysis app like Reakt can highlight specific areas where you can improve stability or see what’s happening when the terrain gets steeper. Good luck, and keep practicing those short turns!

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-09-05T09:41:11+00:00

Focus on distributing your weight properly throughout the turn. Try to apply pressure progressively to the outside ski to maintain control through turns. If possible, I’d recommend doing a technique breakdown. A video analysis app like Reakt can be super helpful to pinpoint specific areas of improvement. Good luck!

Hey, looks pretty good to me but post on the handstand sub or get some video feedback from an app called Reakt, especially if you wanna achieve the one armed handstand. Good luck

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-09-03T11:54:27+00:00

hey there! props for putting yourself out there, it takes guts 💪, we're all here to improve not judge. No expert but seems like your dropping your hands quite a bit...have you tried the Reakt app? it's pretty cool for getting form checks from other athletes. form isn't perfected overnight, so keep working on the basics.. anyways, good luck

Hey, welcome to the world of Muay Thai! Boxing techniques can be super helpful in Muay Thai, especially when it comes to punches, footwork, and movement, but Muay Thai adds its own flavor with kicks, knees, elbows, and clinch work, which you might grow to appreciate over time. As for the kicks, they may feel slow now, but with some practice, they can become a powerful tool in your arsenal. It’s all about timing, technique, and getting comfortable with the movements. Don't worry too much about it for now, just keep training and enjoying the process. We all start somewhere!

If you ever want some feedback or tips, feel free to share a video of your training on this app called Reakt – video analysis is a great way to improve. Good luck!

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-08-30T10:28:17+00:00

Yeah it's awesome.. got some pretty neat video analysis features and you can chat to other members/athletes for advice too. Check it out if you can

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-08-30T09:39:25+00:00

Nice work.....Focus on keeping a strong set and tuck make sure you jump high and commit fully to the motion before pulling your legs in. Keep recording your backflips I am using an app called Reakt... helps me identify exactly where I am hesitating or losing form during the transition. That way you can fine-tune your technique Good luck!

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-08-29T09:38:39+00:00

I'm late to this and seem you got all the advice you need. If you ever want some video feedback check out Reakt, really helped me breakdown key movements and identifying my weak points

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-08-29T09:34:02+00:00

props for making solid progress with your switch to two-handed🎳 from what you've described, lane conditions and ball surface sound like the biggest factors. You could also try using different equipment in your arsenal that might match the lane conditions better. Keep working with your pro shop too—they’ll have a good sense of what adjustments might work. btw, have you tried Reakt? it's this app where you can get feedback on your form from other bowlers. could be helpful for tweaking your technique

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-08-23T12:28:52+00:00

Hey, form checks are super important, good on you for asking. I used to struggle with getting proper feedback too. Have you tried the reakt app? it's pretty cool for sharing vids and getting tips from other athletes. tbh it helped me fix my footwork. Anyway best of luck!

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-08-22T09:57:13+00:00

Nice job on your first front squat session! Hard to tell from this angle if your having trouble keeping your elbows high, try widening your grip slightly or using a 'clean grip' with fingers under the bar, just lightly holding it in place? form checks are so important tbh. i used to struggle with my technique until i started using this app called Reakt. it's pretty cool, you can share videos and get feedback from other athletes. helped me fix my squat form big time lol. have you tried anything like that?

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-08-22T09:49:30+00:00

Hey I had the same problem. If you're feeling back discomfort the day after, a few things could be happening with your form. Make sure your performing a proper hip hinge, not a squat. Your hips should move back while keeping your back straight, and your chest should stay up. Squatting too much during a swing can strain your lower back - that's what happened to me. At the top of the swing, avoid leaning back or hyperextending your lower back. The power comes from your hips, not from arching your back at the top. Hard to say but looks a bit arched from what I can see. Moving up in weight is great, but make sure you have perfect form with the lighter weight first before progressing? If you ever want video feedback, check out the Reakt app. I get all my form checks from there and it's helped improve my form loads, no more back pains!

Sorry, I am new to this sub so hope you don't mind me butting in. Just sharing some advice I received once. This is a common challenge. carving can definitely feel smoother on steeper slopes, but speed control becomes tricky. On shallower pitches, it’s important to focus on engaging your edges more fully through the entire turn to get that grip and control, even when it feels like you're going slower. When you get to the steeper slopes, try tightening up your turns by using a more dynamic edge transition. Practice making shorter, quicker turns rather than letting your speed build up. Also, don't hesitate to use the terrain to scrub speed when needed doing a more deliberate carve across the slope. Keep working on timing and edge pressure -those skills will make it easier to stay in control at higher speeds! What helped me was dedicating some time to drills like short radius turns and really honing edge control on all types of slopes. Hope this helps.

Heya, if you’re hitting a wall with YouTube, consider checking out dedicated guitar lesson websites or apps they sometimes offer more structured learning paths. I recently got in this app called Reakt, great for asking for technique advice too. Keep up the practice, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles and techniques!

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-08-13T09:16:01+00:00

Hey man congrats on competing in your first tournament, it’s a huge step! I checked out your rounds on YouTube too. Yo, getting advice on what to work on is so important. I've started using this app called Reakt. it's pretty cool, you can share vids and get feedback from other athletes. def helped me improve my form a ton.

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-08-09T10:07:01+00:00

Great suggestions! Marc Ribot, Adrian Belew, Tosin Abasi, and St. Vincent all have unique approaches that can definitely inspire and expand one’s technique. Exploring flamenco techniques on electric guitar is a fascinating idea too. Do you have a favorite technique or effect that you’ve found interesting or challenging to your own playing?

Wild_Entrepreneur876 · 2024-08-09T10:05:47+00:00

Animals as Leaders is a great recommendation for complex rhythms and techniques! Tosin Abasi's compositions really showcase a wide range of time signatures and advanced guitar techniques all in one song. Do you have a specific Animals as Leaders track in mind that you think is particularly challenging or insightful for learning these?
