Genetically identical twin analysis: Why is one better? [parkour twins]

[@bambisco7056]

Would be cool is you looked at Dom Tomato's ability to take such high impact drops

[@viktorp3655]

100% agree!

You really should make a vid on athletes with flat feet. The outward rotation of feet and inward rotation of knees is also caused by flat feet, but some athletes like tanner witt manage doing so amazing flips with flat feet too. So it would be really helpful if you analyse how to improve your body with flat feet

I've learned a lot from you not only for Parkour, but also for life. Being aware of posture does help against back pain when carrying around kids all day, for example!

[@TheoTanchak]

Thanks for the support Simon. Means a lot!

[@co1inn]

A video comparing athletes’ landing styles and how they absorb the impact differently in sticking a jump would be amazing!

[@3DomParkour]

Bare in mind, Dylan, aka heavy head, has been battling quite a few injuries for the past few years. Stoked to see my man's moving again but interesting analysis none the less.

[@AaronMartinProfessional]

I always appreciate the effort of open sourcing educational knowledge - especially when it relates to a practice I love. In this specific video I think there is a danger of oversimplifying complex processes like ‘parkour ability in a speed run competition’. Making inaccurate or unprovable claims can mislead practitioners into fixing problems in their own practice that aren’t problems. The term “Iatrogenesis” comes to mind - causing harm through medical diagnosis or mistreatment. From a first person experience, it looks to me like shirtless twin is simply less proficient. Catching himself at the bar set didn’t look like it had anything to do with his head position and all to do with him needing to use his hands to catch himself. Something every practitioner can relate to, when not sticking a jump on a small landing space. I think what is much more likely in the Twin 1 vs Twin 2 scenario: shirtless twin either trains this kind of speed run less, or when he trains it he doesn’t train it as efficiently. He is clearly less precise in this competition, requires way more steps and it looks like simply practicing more would get him to the same level. This is a hypothesis. And we could come up with dozens. This one I also like: shirtless twin is simply the less experienced competitor. You can see from his posture that he is more hesitant. The rounded shoulders and his hand positioning shows that he is more subconsciously prepared to brace for impact. Which can be seen in how he messes up simple step patterns and adds unnecessary steps - and he has to catch himself on the bar set to prevent himself from falling. What he needs, is a mental performance coach. Is this true? I have no clue 🤷‍♂️ But I could easily upload a KZbin video making the claim and reasoning well for it. While I love the investigative spirit, I don’t like that you don’t follow a more objective protocol. You make it sound like you’re narrating obvious truth. More accurately, you are posing a hypothesis about how deviation in posture from a norm affects performance. And because this is a scientific hypothesis in which you are trying to make an objective truth claim in order to help people move better, I would think it’s in your interest to state your assumptions as assumptions. There is a really good article online that points out some of the errors and difficulties in your reasoning, one can find when typing in Google: Theo Tanchak Critique. In it, it references another video speaking about the scientific rigor you could employ, Theo, to make more accurate videos exposes, including appropriate assessments and working directly with people instead of only taking little snippets that aren’t representative of the person’s full training spectrum. I am writing this in hopes of a dialogue and to get a better understanding of how we can find reliable methods to improve our parkour and movement skill practices. I hope to read your reply. 🤝

[@Superdazzu2]

i agree with everything

[@AaronMartinProfessional]

@@Superdazzu2 🙏👍 I’m still curious to know what Theo’s response would be, if he decides to reply.

[@SuperScraper123]

@@AaronMartinProfessional Thank you for this, you expressed everything better than I could have put it. Btw I know both of them IRL (I train with them in brisbane and talked about this video when it came out) and so this is definitely the case. Shirtless twin (Dylan Pawson) doesn't do speed comps so they're much less experienced and hesitant at the time. He also happened to have an Injury (toe I believe) that he was unware of that time. Compared to his twin (Brodie Pawson) who's a done lot more speed comps and prepares for it, and this happened to be one of Brodie's best performances. I haven't watched the critique video fully so I might be repeating things, the problem is that I don't know if Theo Tanchak has any proper medical qualifications. As you said he presents these as obvious facts and everyone else eats it up which can be extremely harmful. The Drew Taylor analysis video seems decent and is what started this channel's success but now's he just continue making more of these with decreasing quality analysis. Toby segar's catpass video was when I realised that I have to be remain skeptical because the reasoning seems a bit shakey. When you google Theo's website and check his instagram he's someoone who corrects posture but I have a feeling he's got no science/medical expertise and is spreading psuedoscientific knowledge.

[@pkfrforlife2383]

Love this series! Would be really cool if you could include some exercises on how to tackle those problems as well. It would be nice in case you catch yourself having the same problems However keep on making these, those videos are super interesting!

[@alopezdrums]

Your videos are amazing, highly interesting and super educational Theo! Keep up the great work!!!

[@Jwolfen]

you are a genius, litterally your first video got you popular.

This is officially my favorite youtube channel, thank you so much.

[@jakobb7888]

Amazing analysis! Really important and interesting stuff!

[@jonn6330]

Great video, these analyses are awesome! Body posture has come up many times; it might be interesting to explore exercises we can use to improve this to help with our movement

[@TimH86]

Awesome, thanks for sharing. Impressive to see so much difference in genetically identical people 😱 that motivates me to work on my position even more. I practiced just yesterday with correcting my technique and spine when landing. I have problems equally dividing the load between my legs even on the most stupidly small jumps as result of an old injury. I feel like its possible to get that fixed 100%. Just need to stick with the basics for a while again!

[@TimH86]

I should add, this is the first training in YEARS where I still can stand completely upright without effort after training. I used to have to strain and my spinal erectors ached like hell. Now, not so!

[@magicmeg8175]

I love your contents❤️! And could you maybe do a video on the most important muscles in Parkour and how to train them (or just one part of Parkour like Jumps)

[@bcan5512]

Wonderful knowledge, thank you for sharing

[@laurenellison7592]

This is interesting to me as I'm also an twin (identical). I'm better at indoor bouldering than my sister, and I'm really curious to know what the differences are between us to cause that!

[@hectooooor]

Why is georgepk so springy?

[@Whoisnicodemus]

It would be awesome to see you analyse some of phil doyles precisions and explain why they are so nice or analysis son of seth wang's speed runs either pure parkour speed run or his chase tag runs.

[@lucascastanheira6806]

Marcio Filipe's precision jumps are also incredible. It would be awesome if he could also analyse his technic!

[@jansim0n]

awesome analysis theo. thanks for the great content, keep going!!!!!

[@swagmoneymaxswagallday3639]

Absolutely great content man almost watched all of your videos keep it up

[@Rodknee6678]

Love the videos you’ve been putting out! Very informative and interesting

[@flaviovitelli5778]

Please make a video about Domtomato‘s impact taking: Why can he take so much impact

[@sagemvmt]

I love these videos. Everyone, especially those in PK should see these. Have you received any feedback from featured athletes about making changes you've recommended? It would be cool to see a before and after or technique changes.

[@ankryth]

Hey a Pawson twins video?! I used to train with them when i lived in Brisbane 2013-2014. Awesome haha

[@LuisAlkmim]

Maybe it's just because one trained harder than the other one for this specific type of movement...

[@AaronMartinProfessional]

Exactly. Couldn’t agree more. ❤️ I’m a bit scared for seeing this amount of positive responses to a completely hypothetical analysis that discounts the injury history and training experience of the two entirely - and makes it look like parkour skill could be broken down into simple single variables like where head position is in space. Even in one of his previous videos Theo mentions Toby’s kyphosis and following the forward head position was what is supposed to make him really good at ‘parkour skill’. 🤷‍♂️

[@francis_duarte]

Great video, could you do one on how to prevent yourself from future injury problems that would be really great and informative

[@Android480]

Gene expression could be different between them as well, for reasons we don't understand yet. They've got the same code, but not all the same bits of the code are turned on for both of them.

[@794five]

love these videos so much! so interesting

[@c.h.953]

Please do a Video on Callum Powell's back injuries.

[@Nonume]

Would like to see you comment about other acrobatics too! Like martial arts and dance!

[@Pk-bj9th]

So what are the best ways to strengthen the glutes in this context?

[@a.w.thompson4001]

"... and you can fix them." Good news. Thanks!

[@HeinoHeinzKetchup]

Great content!

[@АртурПолич-у5г]

How Tomato takes that drops???

[@tariqaziz4050]

I think the slower one is , playing it safe

[@amnieto88]

This isn't related to parkour or free running, but I did always have these questions. I had a phenomenon I found when playing fútbol (spelled like this to not confuse Americans and I'm Mexican/American) where most if not all left-handed players I played against could not use their right leg/foot (non-dominant side). It was far worse than any right-handed person could use their left foot (non-dominant side). It was such a consistent pattern that my technique for defending against left-handed/footed people was to guide them to their right because they could never do anything on that side and would always try to cut back. It was so easy and predictable. Do you know if there are any reasons for this physically? is because left-handed people grow up in a right-handed world (not sure why that would hurt their ability to use their right foot though...). I wonder if anyone else has found this to be true? I've also seen it on the pro-level tbh, not as bad since players at that level still have amazing control and technique, but the difference is obvious.

[@shrirangbondale8711]

Theo when will the dom video come out

Man though you were kinda clickbating, never will again. Parkour community needs you

[@denester1]

Do you think that both feet should always point forward? Does it apply when you are doing weighted squats as well?

[@TheoTanchak]

It's more about having feet, knees and hips pointing in the same direction.

[@codyroberts2859]

So interesting man.
