This post on X by Rugby Guy just confirms that he’s a legit ******, and doesn’t know the first thing about training or football.

“Bain is hurting himself. What a dumbass”

The problem is context. we have no idea what the practise was like for Bain. Maybe it was an easy fundamentals day.. more mental than physical and he decided to apply it with heavier reps? Bad mouthing work ethic is for fools.
 
One of Bains super powers was always endurance... His amazing motor and ability to keep going at a high level when others would start to break down and get tired. Even when compared with other elite athletes. He never came out of games which is crazy for a DE.

Agree overtraining is real but the body's ability to take punishment and recover quickly is different for everyone. Aside from the mental toughness, Bains god given gift to train longer and harder (super big pause) than most is part of why he became so great. He is literally able to get more work in than the next guy. Not to mention he always leaned on the heavier side for a DE so it probably helps him stay at ideal weight.
 
I'm a CSCS, and I am far from a know-it-all, but Rugby Strength Coach is a pompous ******* who is full of ****. Dude has tweets criticizing positional coaches- great ones, too (I think Jason Taylor is in one) because he thinks he knows the best and only approach. Dude is an idiot. He just hasn't gotten called out enough.
He has a few with UM coaches. One in particular was our players scooping a dummy, driving through, and tackling it on the mat. He went off on that one, like the dumbass he is.

Context and social media don’t mix

Other day I posted about grass fed whey protein. Said it’s irrelevant. There’s no benefit to it to regulate whey protein

People lost their ****. Talking about grass fed beef

I was like yeah I said whey protein

Freaking out about grass fed milk

I’m like again…I said whey protein

I mean honestly it's not training much of anything for an elite player like Bain, so over working when you should be in recovery after practiSe.

Players have gotten extra work after practice since the beginning of time..Overworking is a real thing but idk how it fits here, and he can still hit recovery. I don’t think the bucs practice every day

He sure does seem to have a hard on for Miami. Well, that and dudes.
 
I could see the concern during the season, but it's still the offseason and Bain will not be heavily involved in preseason games. Repetition of movements and actions during practice is beneficial to my mind. When you get yourself into a state where muscle memory and instincts combine, you play faster and harder in games. This dude's just a dumbass with a dumbass take.

I had some conversations with "these people" aka skill acquisition coaches. They reject the idea of muscle memory and current training principles and they stoically believe that skill acquisition solely happens if we up the training difficulty. And they go about that in the most douchey, clout-chasing way possible - which is the training bubble in a nutshell. Obviously, they believe that no one wants to work with them because everyone is wrong and they "just don't get it".

Do they have a point? Somewhat. It's 1. never wrong to challenge the establishment and try to improve but 2. obviously they're right in certain degrees. You can't progress in training if you don't push the boundary.

Here's the fundamental problem: It's not a debunking of muscle memory. It's not even a debunking of current ways of training. They believe that without addressing key aspects of biology. So if someone purely does technique work just to further translate movement into a habit, or to ensure that the right technique is applied consistently under a fatigued setting, that's also muscle memory.

Being a douche on the internet only takes you so far...
