I think too many people think that Kelly should teach to the everyday person. In fact I think Kelly reaches more people by speaking to the coaches who train people. These coaches then take the info and present it to their clients/members and it has a pyramid effect. I don't think Kelly can or should dumb it down for the general public. People who want to understand will take the time to learn. Those who think it's interesting bu they get lost, share the video with your coach (or better yet, hopefully they've already seen it!) and have them explain the concepts and practical application for you. Keep up the great work KStar!
i couldn't have agreed more, most people get lost hearing this, as a trainer it has enhanced my training concepts and how and when you apply these techniques to your clients make a huge difference, compared to just watching a video that may be towards the direction you need to head but perhaps its building upon many basic concepts that you need to master before considering certain techniques
This never even crossed my mind. Your videos have helped my mobility and joint pain to no end, and I've only been watching for about a week. Awesome to see you working with the top guys in Crossfit, big fan of Rich Froning.
Thank you for posting. I've always done pushups my hands under my shoulders and my elbows flarring out to that they made a 90 degree angle from my body. Have had major shoulder pain ever since high school. This is also how I learned to do the bench press. Shoulders going out instead of back. I will be giving this a try my next workout.
Martin: Check out your hip flexors, specifically your psoas. Most likely they are tight, they attach (or originate, I forget which) on the transverse processes of your spine including low back.
Next episode on the lower back! Smoked back syndrome! It's been years from the last time about lower back issues. Ive been using KT Tape on it and rolling it like crazy but no matter what i'm doing its like instantly tight no matter what the WOD is.
How is your glute strength? I'd work on the glutes...glute bridges and then progress to hip thrusts. I'd also do a lot of core stability work such as planks and then progress to anti-extension and anti-rotation movements such as ab wheels, pal of presses...in order to re-set the core into its proper position (neutral as opposed to extended). I'd get someone to dig into my psoas too. Thats how I fixed my lower back pain over time..
I wondering how one can incorporate this into movement patterns such as a lizard crawl. I have a injured shoulder and when I attempt a lizard crawl , pain occurs in the posterior area of my shoulder. Thank you for your help.
Don't just roll out where it hurts. It probably hurts your lower back if for example you hyper extend your lumbar all the time to get around your tight hip flexors. You stretch your hamstrings (assist with hip flexion) to get that hip extension, then your low back is even tighter in relation to everything and then causing more back back. The real issue is that you need to roll out your TFL, piriformis, and quads and then you need core strength to maintain your gains. That'll be $200.
@David Bowden and @astromos thanks for the tips, I will definitely work on that stuff. And I sent you your payment of 200 lol you should get it anytime now. But that you again it really is helpful. I'm deployed so I really only have the Internet to get my information. Thank!!
It's all about that ankle flexibility. Look how far his knees can track, in flat soles. He has a degree of dorsiflexion that even good lifters usually only artificially achieve with WL shoes. But I mean what do you expect from KStar haha.
What about having beginners perform pushups with their hands on a box or bench so that they can perform both the eccentric and concentric parts of the pushup? Would that variation be potentially injurious?
Hi, have you heard about "MUSCLEader" (have a look on Google)? There you will find a smart free video demonstrating how you can develop notable muscles quickly whilst reducing excess fat at the same time. Kev and hundreds of guys with the same goal enjoyed great results utilizing this technique. It may work for you as well.
Love the post but the sound is awful. Garbled because I think you talk too fast and very echoey. The mike is remote ..maybe use a wireless mike to fix that.

This is an excellent tutorial. Starrett and his book have really saved my soldiers.
I learn some much from you Kelly S. Its unbelievable, by the way Thank You very much.
I am going to keep studying how he can talk so well, over long periods of time while keeping things flowing and interesting... Starrett is King

Thanks Kstar, Mwod just gets better and better.
Bailey once again continuing to look bigger and bigger!
Great info. This helped me realize why I'm getting shoulder pain.
Good video, this feels so much better on my shoulders.
I can't wait for the book to come out!

I'm a Chiro and they are spot on in terms of proper bio-me
chanics and form

Brilliant KS thanks brutha!
Kstar rockin the Superman colors.
Great piece of advice Kelly.
Love the dog :)
wow. thats amazing. i can feel the difference.
KStar any chance you can look at investing in a better microphone, it would make these videos a lot easier to watch :)

I hear everything completly fine.Theres nothing wrong with the audio.

Kstar, what wod did u guys do before the video??
Awesome!
proper warmup and try to maintain a 90° angle beteen your hand and forearm
To turn my hands kills my wrists; can anyone offer me tips to improve my wrist flexibility? Thanks
Get the perfect pushup
Dan has super jacked rhomboids and rear delts, but why does his back still look hunched like his chest is a bungee chord strapping his trunk shut?!
Rich froning's beard is powerful in this vid.
so elbows should never go out?
what if my wrist hurts ?
Probably had some good content but unfortunately there was bad sound quality.
Watched the whole video. No idea what he's saying. All I got was "turn your hands backwards and you'll look like Rich Froening."
I agree with your wife ;-) Great tips
My wrist are soo weak!
mental cue: tuck ur elbows?
keep the elbows close to the torso and the forearm vertical
Yup , listened again full volume, lose a lot especially when you turn away. Please fix this, Kelly. Ty.

Who says that? AHAHAHHA
"NO DICIPLINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
my wrists don't do that…
But in all seriousness no one can diagnose you over the internet that well (except kstar over skype prob) that's just what it USUALLY is.
pergutory
why?
I agree.. Add also an amphetamine-like rush speaking...and Kelly's humour.
Kstarr posts good vids but sometimes there's lots of jargon
Baileys triceps...
I wouldn't get rid of dog. I let dog hang it out .. just tell him to sit and watch .. I do that my blackie black lab..
please please please use a microphone next time!
Hi👃🌹
Strong beard on froning
I really liked your video. Let's connect more on here & maybe you'll take a peak at some of mine!! Blessings to you. - Tara

too much pointless shite was said
LuX Lime I disagree. He went over everything that SHOULD be understood. The reality is, few people grasp it. Such is the way in any profession..
tone down the yelling intimidation thing, Starrett.
why?
please please please use a microphone next time!
