Can anyone explain this for me?

[cephissus]

What exactly is going on in these videos?  

etc. etc.

[supernick]

idk what the fuck hes talkin bout. Must be a moron

[Natural Man]

im so tired of these nobodies who use youtube like they re gurus at something inconceivably stupid just to stand out of the crowd. Hello, you re a nobody, you have nothing new or better to propose than anything that alrdy exists. Ok you love being an attention whore we get it but at least show us something just a bit interesting.

What is he , a "warming up " , a flexing "specialist" ? This is so retarded. Im an expert at climbing stairs and im going to make youtube tutorials for mankind,  im going to sound and look very serious, very professionnal about what im about to teach you all. The ultimate, perfect technique to climb fucking stairs. Something you ve never ever seen before anywhere else!

I wont forget to wear my XXS t shirt from when i was 14 so people can see my little shitty and constantly flexed non existent biceps too. The dashboard in the background and the lame ass tattoos are just the icing on the cake.

His name is Kelly Starrett, I follow quite a bit of stuff. Even though he's a crossfit dude (and I'm against crossfit) he's also a dr. in physical therapy. He has some great idea's for mobility and flexibility. I attended a physical therapy conference last year where he was a speaker. Dude knows his shit.

Why are you against crossfit?

Why are you against crossfit?

Where to start. Randomness of programs? Injuries?

Ok. People are usually just so vague when they are trying to articulate why they don't like crossfit. On average they are dumb as shit and jump on the bandwagon, but there are legitimate reasons to dislike crossfit and not only for their ridiculous claims.

I don't know either. But I do know the guy is gay with his filthy talk about "internal rotation"...yea right..

I can't understand how he comes up with some new mobility exercise every day... do we invent new barbell exercises every day?  do we invent new stretches every day?  do we invent new rep schemes and splits every day?

he speaks like someone who is trying to confound you into accepting what he says.  why does he talk so fast and with so many strange terms?  surely the average crossfitter can't have a fucking clue what he's going on about?  maybe i could understand if he were trying to communicate with other "doctors."

[MAXX]

sounds like an idiot to me. just spewing out words he thinks sounds technical but really makes no sense at all... just like a chiropractor. quak quak. fuck off....

[Coach is Back!]

Most people who don't understand mobility, myofacial releases, activation, movement patterns, etc won't understand it. I think he makes some of the terms simplistic so they can be understood. Over the years PT has changed so much when it comes to passive movements. I think its great he's coming up with new techniques for rehab, release and movement as long as it makes sense and works.

People seem to constantly try to oversimplify the human body (think Adonis). There is so much going on in the human body, that i laugh my ass off anytime anyone tries to tell me why its so easy to understand how the body works when their is still so much we dont understand.

Agreed, but people often take advantage of this fact to sell others on their ridiculous theories.  The body is so complex that the best strategies we know for dealing with it are often quite simple.  Adonis' insistence on counting calories is a good example of this.  People who try to use all the evidence and take everything into account often end up just screwing up and wasting a huge amount of time to come up with a theory that, in reality, doesn't work any better than calories in/calories out... because they believe they understand something when really, their data is beyond insufficient, their judgment poor, etc.

Of course thats true. Its not Adonis so much as Fatpanda, who would argue that Macro's dont matter, only calories matter, which of course is bullshit. If youre not getting enough protein, or your ratios are something stupid like his were (almost all sugar), and he used Adonis arguments, that only calories matter... which would be true, it the body used each calorie from each macro the same. But it doesnt. Which fucks up many peoples theories (excuses) on why they can eat whatever they want as long as theyre under their calorie limit.

Well, this guy is trying to appeal to laymen not to other doctors. If this guy (he is a DPT) can help people with simple movements he's doing good. As for his crossfit clients, those are the people he's getting through too.

[cephissus]

What member of the laity can make any sense of what he's saying?     

I'm serious.  Can anyone here follow what this guy is babbling about?

Seems to me he's being obscure for the sake of it.

[Coach is Back!]

Where did you find his stuff?

[cephissus]

On youtube.

I've also been directed to his site here:

http://www.mobilitywod.com/

seems like he's addressing "athletes" (ie crossfitters  ) directly.

[MAXX]

some of the things he says makes about as much sense as this guy 

 

[Coach is Back!]

I give up!
