There will always be people who have different opinions to yours - that’s fine. What perhaps is not so is when they fail to understand the context or don’t back up their thoughts with their opinions.
Their opinions should ideally be based on their successes (in this case on what this channel is all about - jumping and sprinting) and/or sports science (as it relates to jumping and sprinting).
One recent comment on weights and specific exercise transfer did this - but perhaps did not look into the overall context.
As the comments were referencing a 15sec short it makes the comments a little removed from what I actually believe i.e. my philosophy on training and weights transfer. There are plenty of longer form videos which hopefully really explain my philosophy/thoughts.
The odd thing though was when I entered into dialogue with the person critiquing and making their argument my perspective was actually very close to their's!
No bad feelings to the commenter but maybe looking at a longer form video on the channel on how I see weight training's relationship to sprinting and jumping may have presented a different consideration.

Video Time-line:
0.00min: Intro
0.32min: Direct Transfer
Weights and jumping and sprinting - does it transfer?
1.03min: Generational activity transfer
If jumping off a full run-up is a 1st generation activity where does weight training sit?
1.21min: Why you should weight train(!)
1.37: Non-obvious Transfer
Eg Potentiation
1.48min: How to potentiate using weights
2.23min: latent transfer
2.34: Specific criticism of some of my exercises: Step-back lunge; Power step-up
3.05min: Context -my thoughts on weight training, jumping and sprinting.
(Please note here that even in this video I cannot get everything across)
Discussion using Bondarchuk and his thoughts on his Transfer of Training ….
He did not see a high correlation with certain weight training exercises when it comes to the jumping events. He did see a high correlation with plyometric type activities
It’s odd as many coaches do actually share quite similar views to mine -Jeremy Fischer and Dan Pfaff, for example.
I include a clip of Jeremy talking about weights
4.25min: Thoughts on more direct transfer…
Goran Obradovic perhaps echoes the belief that others have about weights and their contribution to improving power and speed. I’m not in quite the same camp …
4.35min: I put across what I think works
It’s based on what I found to work over 15 years of coaching.
I wouldn’t say what I do in my videos if what I do did not work. The idea is to give you ideas and thoughts on how to train jumpers and sprinters based on actual experience.
If what you do works then stick with it - but don’t be totally closed to new ideas and making changes
5.26: Entitlement to opinion as I started these notes with
5.59min: Further thoughts on limited weights transfer
7.32min: Summing Up
8.17min: Antepes - the training that thinks it’s a spike
