The Tweet is a short video, and the link leads to pictures.  There seems to be more work on the grass (conditioning?) than I ever remember and the strength training is much different than my younger days at the gym.

First time round Wellman introduced elements of yoga and the non-martial arts (tai-chi specifically). I suspect his return will see shifts towards more flexibility, bodyweight, resistance and high intensity work to complement traditional lifting more in line with developing trends in other sports. It will be worth watching.

It appears that some of the strength training also focuses on joint stability.  In the olden days (when I learned about weight and strength training), it was all about isolating the muscle or muscle group you were working on.  The things I see, put the various joints in play, which should improve stability
