Kennebecpirate Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 About 1/3 into the book and I'm realizing my movement and posture sucks worse than I thought. I have faulted on every single self test. So far the culprit is usually my lazy butt. No wonder its under developed, I seem to have never used it except to sit on. How's everyone else doing with Supple? Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm about 50 pages in and enjoying. Skipping to the hip mobility stuff today so I have something to work on over the next week or so as I move through as I know I need help there. I'm not going to be able to sit tomorrow after the ass kicking I gives my glutes with that lacrosse ball tonight.

jfreaksho Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I'm finding those spots next to my shoulder blade that are allowing my shoulders to round over. I hope my wife appreciates it when I start on her next week. Searching the world for a cure for my wanderlust. Link to comment
Gainsdalf the Whey Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 So far I know I naturally have good midline stability, probably from squatting correctly in terms of that for awhile now. I however leak torque like a bucket with a hole in it with my outwardly turned feet.

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Well, mor einfo! Apparently my good morning squat/chest collapse issue is also called stripper squat (makes it much more fun to talk about) and is due in part to not having enough external rotation torque. Straightening the feet to make it easier to generate more torque is one fix and really focusing on maintaing the torque throughout the lift is the other. Fun times!

cline Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I started working the leg torque thing a while ago. It's weird. I now torque in all lifts. I'm still working the feet thing in the squat. Not sure how I feel about it. KStarr wants us all to always stand with feet straight and a smidge of leg torque. I AM going the distance 'Cause all I wanna do is go the distance. Nobody's ever gone the distance with Creed, and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood.

jfreaksho Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I am usually very "video" oriented... but I got bored with the one video I did watch. I'll have to do more research. I've never really thought that the website did him justice. They've revamped it recently and I don't know how it is now, but I found the videos fascinating, but completely unorganized. There was no good way to go through them, and there seemed to be too many to find what I was looking for. He really knows his stuff, but the labeling and organizing of the videos wasn't that good. I think he never expected it to be that big, and didn't really organize as he went. The book is everything on the website, but organized pretty neatly. The pictures are great, the explanations are clear... We'll see how it goes over time, but so far I really like it. Searching the world for a cure for my wanderlust. Link to comment

Avalonna Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 I went to the website yesterday and searched for "shoulder", and got a long list of blog posts with many titles having nothing to do with the shoulder. I hope it gets reorganized soon! I actually had better luck going to KStar's YouTube channel and seaching for "shoulder" there. http://www.youtube.com/user/sanfranciscocrossfit/videos?query=shoulder Avalonna, level 3 Half-Elf Adventurer RangerCurrent challenge & spreadsheet • First challenge • Second challenge • Third challenge • Fourth challenge • Twitter • Tumblr Nerd Fitness: "This is the place to be healthy with others who know how to field strip a light saber and read elvish while explaining the dynamics of sub-space as it relates to a warp field." - tanktimusSTR 7 ~ DEX 2 ~ STA 6 ~ CON 8 ~ WIS 4 ~ CHA 3 Link to comment
