Advanced pumping - aka how the pros pump

Yes for sure, I’ll share the code once I clean it up, if you have claude code tell it this

  1. yt-dlp to download video
  2. freemocap for video analysis

you need to find the right clip, then stabilise it based on the hip position, then fix the some points to see what makes sense to minimise camera movement

I think the primary thing is, what does the circular shape that our feet do tell us? Lots of good stuff on the insta comments around it, this is a nice idea:

Which leads me to something along the lines of this image

here is another clip of James Casey paddle up, really interesting how circular the back foot motion is in the low speed paddle up, really powerful pumps

also playing around with reinforcement learning to see if i can replicate anything interesting (at the moment, not really)
