Are you tired of being told that your aches / paints / injuries / etc. will go away if you "just do more yoga / strength work / stretch more"? Do you feel like you're just cobbling together a mix of common sense & pseudo-science & hoping for the best without any clear idea of what is *actually* causing your problems and what is *actually* likely to fix things? I've been doing what I call easy yoga for years with little change. I've always been inflexible and figured that's just how it was. After doing some of Kelly's MWODs, I noticed some improved flexibility. Kelly believes we can all improve our mobility, and I am on board. To solve this problem, Starret introduces rubber bands and many other gadgets to mobilize the joints and other fun stuff, not only the muscles. I might be awfully conservative here, but the book failed to convince me that gadgets and better to prevent injuries than moving with your body weight. I'm afraid that Starrett is so inventive in his techniques as a sort of way to leave his personal imprint on the fitness world. It seems to me that the people who are hyper-focused on injury-prevention are those who always get injured. Joint circles: Joint circles involve performing slow, controlled movements through a full range of motion, which can help improve joint mobility.
There is one issue that I wish had been covered in the book but remain the Achilles heel of K-Star, in my opinion. There is not a systematic outline and approach to screen athletes on intake of a fitness program, nor a physical therapy client. To evaluate movement there is not a standard protocol of starting with specific movement, and then progressing. What I would like to see next is a strategic stance on an evaluation that is recommended for all active individuals, along with a more specific intake evaluation for CrossFit gyms. That would allow for a systematic program to have trainers more effectively utilize K-Star’s method. Becoming a supple leopard is essential for anyone who wants to improve their mobility, reduce their risk of injury, and live a better quality of life. By following the steps outlined in this article, you can start your journey towards optimal movement and mobility. Properly perform strength and conditioning movements like the squat, bench press, pushup, deadlift, clean, and snatch If you’re training hard, don’t roll at the gym. Use the gym for your gym time. Instead, when you get home, when you’re watching TV in the evening, pull out the roller, pull out the ball, and roll on it.If you don't want to be a hunched over, pain-ridden person when you get older, this book matters to you. The main problems I had with this book popped up in the first section. It's fine throughout the introduction, but then it comes to a 4-step diagram on how to assume neutral-braced-spinal position, which is the very first thing the book teaches you other than "the gym is your lab". The first step is okay, but then the second step tells you to align your pelvis and ribcage by pulling the lower ribs down. Now, I know pretty well what that last thing feels like, but I had and still have no clue whether I was overdoing it or not. There is a thing called the two-hand rule a bit later on, but that was no help either as it doesn't work if your starting position isn't correct. You should be able to take a full breath on any tissue that you're working on. If you're getting a massage and can't take a full breath, that person's going too deep. If rolling on a roller takes your breath away, you're going too deep. Maybe the roller's too hard or you're using too much pressure. PDF / EPUB File Name: Becoming_a_Supple_Leopard_-_Kelly_Starrett.pdf, Becoming_a_Supple_Leopard_-_Kelly_Starrett.epub I was enthusiastic about the premise of the book, namely to be like a leopard, that's always ready for action, and doesn't stretch for warm-up or keep its mobility. However, the second half of the book is dedicated in hundreds of ways to use weird gadgets to "mobilize" your joints and muscles without stretching. It seems like we've come full-circle, haven't we?
Our bodies don't come with instruction manuals, and no one teaches us how to move through life while playing sports, bearing loads or just sitting and standing. Yet we only get one body and it has to last our whole lives through.

Set sensible assumptions for you and praise your advancement en route. Recall that little, predictable activities can prompt huge changes after some time. Tools and Exercises for Becoming a Supple Leopard The use of the word "torque" is annoying, as is saying "mobilize" rather than "stretch and foam roll" as if it's an entirely different thing.The chapters are comprehensive and include detailed guidance on squats, deadlifts, benchpress and overhead press. They also include the more advanced "Olympic lifts" such as power cleans, and snatch.
