Check out the C & RG here as they begin to pull.

As you begin to watch movement, you’ll start to notice some kinesthetic commonalities that most if not all elite athletes share:

While OL blocking does look different from athlete to athlete, based upon a bunch of different variables, if you look at these clips from a pure movement perspective, you’ll see these patterns begin to emerge in everything athletes do. And there is some variance, as w/anything.

An OL athlete base blocking a tight shade, will look different from a puller, bc they dont need to put as much FTTG to set hips on their angle. They need to put themselves in position to fight pressure NOW, so toe strike, may be a midfoot strike, so they can be stronger, faster.

At the end of the day, techniques and methods can vary, but principles of movement should be your foundation, and body positioning should look similar no matter the sport.

Movement is Movement.

Ppl who are smarter than me, if I screwed any of this up, please tell me haha https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤷🏻‍♂️" title="Achselzuckender Mann (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Achselzuckender Mann (heller Hautton)">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit Freudentränen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit Freudentränen">

Also thanks @Warhogs56 for tagging me in this clip.

You should go follow him. He’s a funny guy and doesn’t afraid of anything.
