Review: Buy and start becoming better - ‘All human beings should be able to perform basic maintenance on themselves.” It’s almost a call to arms, a revolution in who we are and how we treat our bodies. It shouldn’t be of course, but the idea that you can do work on your own body is one I have come to embrace. Not just lifting and building muscle but fixing your own injuries. Digging deeper into your own body, learning what is wrong with it and working through a path to fix it yourself. The idea behind this book is that everyone should be able to move well, like jungle cats. That the body was designed for optimum movement for a long time. If you can’t now that doesn’t mean you can’t in the future. Supple Leopard is the guide to better movement and performance. It can help you resolve any problem issues and how to do it yourself. Kelly Starrett is an athlete, a former high level kayaker, the owner of San Francisco Crossfit and a Doctor of Physical Therapy. The guy knows a bit about movement. He’s used his experience as an athlete and physio to turn his gym into a testing ground, a lab for physical movement and how to get better. Supple Leopard is a textbook, like a dictionary for your body. When I have a physical issue from jiu-jitsu training or lifting weights this is the first place I turn. It’s a thick, dense read that is best chipped away at or pulled out and used when needed. His message that you have control over your own health is empowering. You can sort out and resolve many of your physical problems. But it won’t be easy and it might not be quick. Kelly wants you to commit to ten minutes a day of basic maintenance. Find your weak points and work on them. Can’t squat? He’ll show you a progression how to get there and then you best be doing some squat practice everyday. Bad shoulders and can’t lift overhead? There’s plenty for that too. He talks about fundamental movement patterns and positions that we should all be able to get into. and how we should all be able to get into them. If we can’t something is wrong. So we then we should fix it. Much of what we do all day everyday goes against how our bodies evolved. Sitting down, reaching forward all day tapping at keys or swiping at phones. Wearing huge soles between us and the ground as we drink and eat poor quality food. And then we try and exercise. Is it any surprise when that doesn't go well? Starrett thinks the human body is an amazing machine that can take an obscene amount of abuse. When it breaks it can break hard but it doesn’t have to. Check out his website MobilityWOD for great free content including hundreds of videos. He’s gone on to write a book on how to run without pain, Ready to Run. And has just come out with Deskbound on how to stand up from the desk and change your life. He and wife Juliet run Stand Up Kids where they try and get standing desks in schools. To stop our kids from getting messed up like we did. They are super heroes. This is a big expensive book but if you are going to be harder to destroy it’s a must. It gives you the tools to make yourself better and more awesome. This one is a lock for the shelf.
Review: 100% Necessity for coaches, athletes, trainers, and all human beings - I was borrowing my friend's copy of the first edition of this book and that was a great book. This version is even better. I could not be happier that I bought it. As a coach and trainer, everything in this book helps me help my athletes and clients. As a gym rat and CrossFitter, this book has saved my life. This is the best fitness/movement book I have ever read. The biggest differences between the first and second editions is that in the new edition there are sections where you can look for mobilizations based on the location of your pain (which includes mobilizations for muscle groups around the area that is hurting to address the causes of your pain which are not always simply an issue with that muscle group only), and there is an improved section based on muscle group you want to mobilize. Another thing I love is that there are little icons on the side of the mobilization pages that indicate what "architypes" (basically what exercises, movements, or positions) will be helped or improved by the mobilizations. Example: some shoulder mobilizations indicate that it will help your front rack position, overhead position, external rotation, etc. This book is perfect for people who want to know more about human movement but don't have an educational background in related subjects. It is very easy to understand and has a great balance between scientific writing and casual english so you can learn without getting frustrated about not knowing crazy terms and concepts related to exercise science and kinesiology. Overall an extremely good investment for anyone even if you're not an athlete or coach and just want to help yourself get rid of pesky pain from your job or lifestyle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful print!
*by L***K on January 23, 2025*

I just bought this book. I haven't even read it yet but I had to write a review. At first glance this book is HUGE and beautiful. I did not expect it to be this thick. The illustrations are colorful and they make my brain eager and excited to read. It is chokefull of knowledge and literally looks like an encyclopedia or science book. I love it already and my nerdy self cannot wait to immerse myself in it, and then put the knowledge into practice. I found out about this book while reading 'Built from Broken' by Scott Hogan. Even he was raving about it and I found Scott's book extremely helpful, so I decided to make 'Supple Leopard' my next read. I will be back with more reviews after reading, but I am super excited about it. Update: This book is so big and chokeful of knowledge, that every time people see me reading it, they think I'm in college. One lady asked me if I was studying for finals. I should have said yes, since the book is preparing me for better form when I get old. But, I am a nerd, so, I love it. Definitely worth every penny spent on it.
