Thanks for posting this.

Can you recommend any sort of good books on the subject?

[Steve Hill]

On Mechanics and Human movement or on basic engineering principals?

very nice stuff. Lots to unpack, but the lecture gave some valuable insights. Thanks for sharing this. Looking forward to part 2

Appreciate the economy of language. Would watch again, in fact, I think I need to,

in part 2, at 23:23, it sounded like you said that engaging the calf muscles (which would normally result in plantar flexion), would cause the knees to go forward. Just to be clear, you meant that the knees want to go forward, and engaging the calves may oppose that tendency, correct?

Yes.

I can't think of a one.
