As Sandman mentioned,the back leg can get a workput doing what it needs to.

> It has to carry the weight shift and act as a base to get rotation going/hip uncocking and it has to assist rotation.

> This clip appears to be about 90 frames per second(almost 15 frames from launch to contact as oposed to usual 5,assume 3x resolution,or 3x 30 fr/sec ?)
>
> Notice the back foot turns back in reaction to the hip starting to uncock before the front toe touches.
>
> Then the back leg rotates as resistance/blocking/rotation of the front leg gets hip turn to the max/separation to the max.
>
> This is inside location,so he has to turn very quickly/interrupt load sequence with launch sequence early.
>
> Hands stay back well,good tht,great separation.Then as the bathead swings out,the back toe reactively drags as the hips decelerate and momentum is well transferred up the chain.
>
> Nice hooking handpath,back elbow retains "L" well.

> Tom,I hurt all over anymore after a 100 cuts.My lower back ,neck,groin ,and arms are pretty consistently sore after a workout.Old age I suppose,but it seems that the smaller muscles and the ones that are hard to stretch get sore for me.
