Are you learning this all in school? Or other sources? What books do you read? YouTube channels? Instagram *horror*?

Most of my biomechanics learning comes from Bill Hartman and those who were mentored by him. Sources include:
- Bill Hartman
- Alex Effer
- Matt Domney
- Kyle Dobbs
- Erik Huddlestone
- Justin Moore
- Dr Pat Davidson
- Dr Michelle Boland
- Zac Cupples
- Mike Robertson
- Angus Bradley
In addition, I learn a lot about speed mechanics and programming from
- Frans Bosch
- Joel Smith
- Cal Dietz
- Chris Korfist
- Dan Fichter
- Joel Jamieson
- David Grey
- Kassem Hansen
- Gary Ward
- Grant Fowler
- Charlie Francis
- Derek Hansen
A big chunk of the new stuff I’ve learned came from Alex Effer’s mentorship program. This gave me a very thorough understanding of Bill’s model (which discusses movement through the lenses on respiration, gait and the motion of the viscera). Once that foundation was in place, I mostly learn new things through podcasts and IG. I read when I can, but time eludes me.
My favourite podcasts are:
- Joel Smith’s Just Fly Performance Podcast
- Mike Robertson’s Physical Preparation Podcast
- Angus Bradley’s Hyperperformance Podcast
Books I have read recently that I do recommend highly are:
- A Coach’s Guide to Optimising Movement by Pat Davidson
- Strength is Specific by Chris Beardsle

Just Fly in particular is awesome. It features lots of somewhat unconventional topics and a massive variety of speakers. Lately the guests have all been about LTAD and fundamental athletic skills, but there are loads of topic about neurology, the foot, alternative biomechanical models and way, way more. By far it’s my favourite podcast

First episode I get to hear a climbing anecdote <3.
I’ve mulled this over in the past, namely that climbing could be the one sport where
the difference between the elite and everyone else has the largest
discrepancy. This thought started when I watched that documentary of
Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell speed climbing El Capitan where they’d
overtake the same teams over and over again even as they were
practicing.
From the episode I learned Alex Honnold free-soloed Half-dome in 2012, and he did
that in 1hr and 22m. It’s not a climb that everyone can do, but those
that do tend to do so in about a day and a half. They actually end up
sleeping in portaledges. That’s insane. It’d be like running a
4-minute mile in 37 seconds (according to the speaker). Completely bonkers.

I know just enough about climbing to know that Alex Honnold is an absolute freak of nature. CLimbing half dome in 82 minutes is almost surreal, it’s so impressive
