Much better than listening to him waffle for 7 minutes to get 30 seconds of actual movements
Thanks for the link. Very good info
This will be purchased 100%. Kelly does waffle quite a bit haha.
“a bit”? The guy is a bro’s wet dream with his CrossFit beach bum brah talk.
I have one comment about Kelly’s method for “mobilization”: He never addresses determining if a fault is simply due to a lack of strength (such as a muscle imbalance or weak glutes). Why doesn’t he address this? Seems like a pretty critical hole.
Looks to me while reading the 50 page preview that he DOES address this strength vs mobility position when assessing faults. I’ve just started reading, but for example, I am reading the section on pushups (a weak spot for me) where he says “Coaches, athletes, and physical therapists will often relate shoulder issues to a weak rotator cuff or weak shoulders. Although this is a contributing factor, it’s not necessarily the root cause. It’s about position”
My experience validates this too. I’ve been doing some myofascial release stuff on my shoulders the last month or so and have quickly seen an apparent increase in strength (ability to do pullups, previously using 75 lbs assistance, can now do single reps unassisted). This wasn’t so much due to strength training as it was proper shoulder alignment and engagement. Still learning… but I’m definitely a believer in position/form and myofascial or trigger point release techniques!
