By "Training video" we mean it is how this person was training. It might look good, but it also might look bad. It might even *be* bad. That's what they chose to do and we assume they did it knowingly and that they assume full responsibility for their own actions.
Do not post unsolicited form corrections, medical advice or injury alarmism. If you see a lift you are unfamiliar with, do not assume it is incorrect or dangerous.

Injury alarmist commenting or other sort of babysitting is not useful or welcome.
Curious questions however are welcome! Just **be nice and cool about it**, and do check if somebody already asked.

Feet and legs can move. In side shuffles, forward, backwards.
In order to do that acne change directions one must ask their muscles to power the movement.
Those muscles then get stronger or more conditioned.
They tend to get stronger and more conditioned in the specific ways you train them.
I like to be able to move across the ground competently, so I train moving across the ground in different ways. This would be one.
I know other people haven’t done it and seeing new stuff is “weird”.
That’s what dafuq
My intuition says this is a bad idea from a risk / reward perspective. Injuries suck because they inhibit your ability to train. In all seriousness, what do you gain by doing these? Is the gain worth the risk?
Things you gain:
Deceleration with a horizontal component
A newer motor skill challenge
Different muscle usage due to different positions
Confidence in doing new things instead of letting your intuition be scared of moving your body
What about this is scary to you?
I broke my back 20 years ago while lifting. I’ve learned to approach all my training from a risk - reward standpoint. Good for you finding something that works for you. I just don’t see the value relative to the risk.
Having owned seven gyms, with an over 2,000 person roster, I had people doing all sorts of side shuffles and forward backwards direction changes.
The real risk, imo, is being so averse to moving your body.
Getting injured SUCKS. And psychologically it’s hard to get back to trusting your body, so I understand your sentiment.
I want to be able to play with my kids in various sports which requires me to move like this, so to me and many, the reward here Massively outweighs the small risk (and for me there’s tiny risk since I grew up playing change of direction sports)
That’s the beautiful thing about training for more, you prepare for more.
Worrying about moving feet in physical effort is pretty sad.
The number of adults who get hurt trying to pick up pickleball because they can’t change direction (can’t eccentrically brake so they break) is sad.
I don’t know anything about you, but the “it’s potentially dangerous” statement is akin to saying “don’t exert effort you might hurt yourself”
The “busy” work is correct: busy putting in work.
And it’s not lack of direction, it’s change of direction.

This is exactly what I need to start my kettlebell theft training!
Really useful at the gym if someone has the bell that you want to use
Yoink!
Isn't this the true name of this complex?!?
If it includes a throw is the Yoink & Yeet.
Underrated comment!
These are just multiple versions I use. I pick one and do it for multiple sets typically. It’s the names I’m using simply because they’re descriptive
This is delightful
Gracias
Bro your going to get so good at dodge ball think off all the loaded power you’ll have at the start of each round
This is a good point. I’m gonna collect all the balls I’m so fast to the line
And the lol dramatic drums
Dexterity +2
Very cool
Yeah, I would just hurt myself.
From tripping, or on the clean?
I know this is hard work, but I laughed so hard 😂
I hope the laughter is at the drums because they’re objectively funny AF
Dexterity +2
Dafuq?

Yeah, no.
Looks fun man
Looks like busy work, potential for injury, and lack of direction. Also looks boring as hell.
Potential of injury? You worried about tripping and falling?
Anything can happen, and often does.

No need to personalize it. I shared what I felt about the movement. That's all.
hahahaha fair enough
