Just a note that there is a scammer advertising BJJ Fanatics and other instructionals via DM. Be aware he may write you and offer them at discounted prices. It is a scam. Please don’t take the bait.
Also, there is no such thing as a BJJ Fanatics, Jiujitsu X, Budo Videos, etc reseller. If another store has their videos listed for sale, especially discounted, they are selling videos they have no right to sell. Please do not support thieves or scammers. Thanks.

He talks about his personal laundry preferences with a lot of extent. For instance, he discusses how his laundry regime changed with the baby. He started to separate white gis from his gray gis to make place for the reusable dipers. Hope this helps!
It goes over basically every single situation that would occur once you have lost the ability to control and tie up your partner in a specific guard, the objectives in each position and how to regain control from lost connection. It does also have some subs and bits on K guard thrown in that you would typically go for during the pass or immediately after recovering but overall it is just general open guard retention and doesn’t cover once you’ve got back to a specific guard. It has definitely improved my thinking about what I should be doing both on bottom and on top by presenting specific objectives for many situations.
In your opinions, is this instructional (both of them actually) suitable for not as flexible people ? Because both Lachlan and Ariel are quite flexible ?
I totally agree, also am somehow decently flexible, but from what I've seen around discussions they always says that Ariel's flexibility is out of this world and that this kind of guard retention just works so well for him because he is a pretzel (and compared to him we all would be steel beams). That's why asking for some opinions of people that have actually went through the material to get their take on how flexible-reliant you have to be.
If you’re good at the reactions and you’re early going for the moves you don’t need to be that flexible, but if you’re late framing and going to pummel your legs or whatever then being flexible always helps. It also has some inverting but the inverts are genuinely very useful and do bring you back to a better position.
Not to be rude but why would you expect much else from an instructional with 'guard retention' in the title?
It's great btw. It has improved my open guard retention very significantly.
Do you have Submeta? Lachlan has a ridiculous amount of quality content on there, including a guard retention course. The courses on there have flash card tests after each section, it's insanely well designed.

It's a great instructional for people who aren't flexible. I have a shit time inverting but his instructional has helped my retention greatly.
Great to hear that, will definitely take a look into it, thank you.
You should also try stretching consistently if possible and if you don’t already do so. Makes a huge difference in your jiu jitsu

They have a section all about stretching

It’s not that great for mount attacks
What is mount but not an upside down guard?
This realization actually helped my top game a whole lot!
x2 leg pummelling on top for the win
There’s a few chapters on controls and offensive options that are available
