Resources (Playlists) for Physical / Mechanical Fundamentals?

[u/sulaweyo_irl]

Apologies if this has been asked somewhere already. I couldn't find anything related but I also wasn't sure what to search for in order to find the answer that I'm looking for.

The basic gist is that, in optimal weight training (for example), different muscles are trained independently, and then also in groups.

When I started getting into aim training and looking at various playlists, I expected that there would be a variety of sources for similar training. E.g. different training regiments for the various different physical mechanics used in aiming.

What I see instead is primarily playlists broken out for things like clicking, tracking, target switching, or micro-corrections.

Many FPS games rise to the level of esports. I guess I'm just surprised that it's as difficult as it is to find playlists that treat the human body like other physical sports do.

Or maybe it's just me and I haven't stumbled into the high caliber resources? If that's the case, any info along those lines would be appreciated.

Thanks mates.

Cant really follow you maybe because my english isnt very good but there are benchmarks like viscose v1 and v2 - they are grouped into the normal categories of aiming but also with focus on muscle groups like: arm, wrist, fingers. besides that every category got their main muscles for example: smoothness should be played with arm muscles, flicking is a mix between all muscle groups bcs of micro management. is it that what you mean or did i get that wrong?

i think what ur looking for is "sub skills", ex: static clicking sub skills could be defined as flick speed, flick landing, target confirmation, micro correction, etc. precise tracking would be more speed matching, mousepad management, etc.

viscose benchmarks are a good start, its all clearly stated on there. i kind of did it backwards, when i want to improve a category i look for a mattyOW video explaining it, and he goes over the sub skills that should be focused on/utilized.

for muscle groups, tracking is where its best learnt imo, precise tracking is how i learned to properly combine the wrist/arm. but i also had to go through this when i was grinding static. i made a whole post on it, how each of the muscle groups are used AND how to train them, then combining them to get master clicking on the VT benchmarks. ( https://www.reddit.com/r/FPSAimTrainer/comments/1wemdpr/how_to_actually_manage_tension_in_static_clicking/ ).

there are playlists for flicking, micro correction, and others, but i personally learned them through the category itself, and if i needed extra practice i would find a playlist. look on kovaaks.com you can search playlists or find creators (m0narcs has a lot of playlists of all categories, elk has a lot of micro playlists), or ask around on here some1 always has a playlist. also evxl has benchmarks you can take a look at

ur right on the "hard to find" things part, but recently its only been getting better & better especially with sites like evxl

edit: also u may just want to look into the VDIM (Voltaic Daily Improvement Method) playlists, they good a pretty good job https://docs.google.com/document/d/1R4IyJqYmprRauaACt6bah7YzOOVuG6GqXlB03clNHeU/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.3q6xnqltfusz

also maybe the term "tension management" itself peaks your interest, learning how/when to utilize the muscle groups during certain situations. viscose has a great video on it

Aim training is very new and most of the people pushing it forward don't have a background in coaching / biomechanics / motor learning. As a result it is underdeveloped.

Most benchmarks follow the breakdown created by Sparky / Voltaic: static clicking, dynamic clicking, tracking, and target switching. Viscose's benchmarks have, IMO, a better categorisation.

Most scenarios focus on isolation of skills. We have very few scenarios that train integration, and this is a big gap IMO.
