My research on bags in training led me to this study on agility ladders

Our bodies can act like springs, if you push it down too far the moment you try to move it'll pop right up higher than you want.
It's not about playing the absolute lowest, it's about playing at THAT PLAYER'S optimal depth and body angles for maximum output!!!

Emphasizing getting OL’s butts down like this makes more players stand up out of their stances than 2 point stances do.View quoted post on X
