I’m not interested in building an ever growing list of movements that should be avoided. That doesn’t mean throwing yourself into positions you’re not prepared for. What it does mean is recognizing that weird positions aren’t bad positions.

They’re just undertrained and that’s an opportunity. One of my favourite things about old school physical culture is the willingness to explore different ways of getting strong. Different grips. Different ranges. Different joint angles.

Load it. Move it. Own it. If that’s not functional, what is?

Have you ever noticed that the people who make the most meaningful progress with setbacks and rehabbing injuries aren’t the ones obsessed with fixing every little problem? They’re the ones working toward something bigger.

Theres a big difference between spending your training trying to eliminate everything that’s wrong with you and getting excited about everything you could become capable of.

Give yourself goals that make even the boring, frustrating, necessary work worth doing.

DON’T disregard an exercise until you’ve drained it completely of all its value. The Elephant Walk is a perfect example of this.

5 years ago, seeing this kind of flexibility was rare. Now we’re seeing it more and more and I’m here for it. Athletes are recognizing the value of developing big ROM not just for the sake of being flexible but for the strength, control, and movement options that come with it.

The demand for this kind of training is only going to grow. Question is, how many coaches know how to deliver it? Clips borrowed from IG • yagoo.guy

It’s pretty wild to think that something I’ve built in my basement in Nova Scotia has now taken me to 7 different countries around the world. Every workshop, every conversation, and every gym that’s welcomed me has helped shape how I teach today.

Different Gyms. Different Communities. One thing they all have in common...

Seppo Räty didn't just throw javelins, he bent physics. His spine mobility was so extreme that slow-mo looked CGI. He popularized the "Seppo Snatch" - a full-bar sweep behind the back and through again. 100kg like it was warm-up weight. A true legend of range.
