Episode 220 of the Doc and Jock Podcast special one. For the first time in a long time Doc Danny & Coach Joe got together in the same place to talk about the snatch balance how it's the MOST important movement on the planet.

Olympic weightlifters use the snatch balance to improve their speed & strength into the bottom of the snatch. However it's probably one of the most beneficial lifts for life. If you look at the movement, the requirements of flexibility in the snatch balance are so high that if you can master the movements it what would normally be a ACL tear in sport and makes it a knee sprain. The positional strength requirement of the snatch balance translate to an elderly person who's slip in fall is just an embarrassing moment rather than it being a trip to the E.R.

On this episode we talk about how to mobilize for the snatch balance, how to scale it and then how to make it perfect once you own the movement.

E218 | Nick St. Louis of The Foot Collective Sep 18, 2017

On Episode 218 of the Doc and Jock Podcast we catch up with Nick St. Louis of the Foot Collective. The Foot Collective is a group of Canadian physical therapists on a mission to help humans reclaim strong, functional and pain free feet through foot health education.

Every human has 2 feet and most of those feet aren’t working like nature intended. Your feet form the foundation for your body – without a strong foundation we compensate and eventually run into problems. Most people Nick sees with dysfunctional (not working properly) feet don’t have foot pain. They have problems upstream – low back pain, hip imbalances, knee pain – and most of those problems are a result of a problem with their foundation. Spread the word to anyone you know and help create awareness of the importance of foot health. Telling friends and family about The Foot Collective means giving them the power to change their health and access quality information about their body for free.

E212 | Dr. Andy Galpin Aug 28, 2017

On episode 212 of the Doc and Jock Podcast we sit down with the doctor of storytelling Andy Galpin to learn how to coach with empathy. Dr. Andy Galpin is a tenured Professor in the Center for Sport Performance at CSU Fullerton. He was born and raised in beautiful Rochester, WA. In addition to being one of the world's leading muscle physiologist he also co-founded the Barbell Shrugged podcast with his buddies Doug Larson, Mike Bledsoe & Chris Moore (RIP). On Episode Andy talks about understanding how to coach with empathy. Empathy is defined as "the ability to understand and share the feelings of another," often times in the world of strength & conditioning coaches judge other coaches methods and tactics without any context to understand the method or drill. Andy's recommendation is to think of 3 instances where the seemingly "wrong" action could be right. Typically if you do that you'll end up realizing that most of the time they aren't wrong. After the education on empathy we get into a discussion on Andy's new book Unplugged which aims to teach us how to evolve from technology to upgrade your fitness, performance & consciousness.

Sal was 14 years old when he touched his first weight and from that moment he was hooked. Growing up asthmatic, frequently sick and painfully skinny, Sal saw weightlifting as a way to change his body and his self-image. In the beginning, Sal’s body responded quickly to his training but then his gains slowed and then stopped altogether. Not one to give up easily, he began reading every muscle building publication he could get his hands on to find ways to bust through his plateau. He read Arnold’s Encyclopedia of Bodybuilding, Mentzer’s Heavy Duty, Kubrick’s Dinosaur Training, and every muscle magazine he could find; Weider’s Muscle and Fitness, Flex, Iron Man and even Muscle Media 2000. Each time he read about a new technique or methodology he would test it out in the gym. At age 18 his passion for the art and science of resistance training was so consuming that he decided to make it his profession and become a personal trainer. By 19 he was managing health clubs and by 22 he owned his own gym. After 17 years as a personal trainer he has dedicated himself to bringing science and TRUTH to the fitness industry.

Rob Wilson comes from a formal education in manual therapy with 15+ years of experience as both a practitioner and teacher. He resides in Virginia Beach, VA with his wife Thomi where they own and operate CrossFit Virginia Beach. In addition to working with the Power Speed Endurance team Rob is also a member of the world renowned MobilityWod staff under the direction of Dr. Kelly Starrett. Rob’s main sport background is youth martial arts including Jeet Kune Do (the philosophies of Bruce Lee), Judo, Muay Thai, and Maphiliindo Silat and Kali. Like many coastal kids Rob grew up surfing and skating as well and developed an affinity for the ocean and Nature at an early age. Rob Wilson is a passionate teacher to the core. Throughout the course of his career as a therapist one thing became abundantly clear; it’s better to teach a person to fish. Without education athletes are left to unknowingly repeat patterns of behavior that may not be pursuant to the actual desired outcome. That is to say the best remedy is often understanding. Rob’s journey is about developing a deeper understanding of human performance to better serve those who wish to actualize their potential.

E185 | Getting Back To The Barbell After An Injury May 26, 2017

On Episode 185 of the Doc and Jock Podcast Coach Joe tackles a great question from listener Mitch Alexander about getting back into lifting after an injury. Via email, Mitch asks, I'm in the middle of a self imposed few weeks off of heavy lifting. Switched up for some HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) to give the body a chance to recover. Any suggestions on how to ease back into lifting? This is a great topic and a common one! In fact Coach Joe is managing his own case of self imposed time off and just now beginning to ramp up barbell work. There are 3 keys to managing injury in Coach Joe’s mind. 1st Be proactive. Injuries generally happen because there is an imbalance in training. Be sure to sneak in opportunities to provide contrast to training sets and reps during your prep and auxiliary work to avoid injury. 2nd Assess Your Training Habits. Regarding the Sport Weighting it is easy to fall into chronic behaviors that can promote overuse injuries. Post injury one the first things you must do is look back through your training log and figuring out what you were doing to much of and limit that behavior. The worst thing we can do post injury is not train. The best thing we can do is adjust training. As Coach Joe relays his own experience with this he discusses how he limited his barbell work but added a lot more asymmetrical loading, rotational style exercise, and worked to establishing long time under tension. All of which contrast the behaviors that led to his most recent tweak. 3rd Integrate the Barbell back into your training program with movements that promote skill and positions, not load and intensity. As Coach Joe has worked for a few weeks with the movements described above and started to gain that old feeling he is also conscious of the fact that he is slightly de-conditioned, especially as it relates to the barbell. With that in mind, instead of working at percentages he is opting at working with a linear progression and going off of feel. He is also choosing partial variations that limit load like the drop snatch. Anyone coming off of an injury in any sport can pull a takeaway or two from this conversation.

E184 | Dr. Jeffrey Durmer The Sleep Doctor May 22, 2017

Are you having issues with sleeping? Do you wake up everyday and feel like you didn't sleep at all? Is your performance struggling even though you're following your program perfectly? Do you actually know how much sleep you should be getting and why? On Episode 184 of the Doc and Jock Podcast we catch up with Doctor Jeffrey Durmer who is one of the world's leading experts on sleep and he answers pretty much every question you have about sleep. Dr. Jeffrey Durmer is a neurologist, systems neuroscientist and board certified sleep medicine physician with particular expertise in technology enabled sleep-health delivery systems. As one of the nation’s leading experts in applying the neuroscience of sleep and circadian rhythm biology to workplace fatigue and wellness programs, he has had the opportunity to work with many different industries and organizations to address the unique problems confronting these populations. His focus is to help people along their path of holistic well being by ensuring they receive the best care that science can provide. Here is a list of topics covered on the show: •The SCN (super cosmetic nucleus) and how urbanization and technology are driving everyone crazy by killing out sleep density. •Anti-inflammatory response and growth hormone production during sleep. •Circadian rhythms and how wake up times are more important than hours spent sleeping. •Having a sleep routine. •It's not about how much sleep you have, it's about how much wake you have. •How lack of sleep makes your teenager crazy. •How sleep deprivation kills your hormonal regulation and production which can cause your metabolic system to shut down, which will make you fat. •Why coach Joe tries to kill rats in his sleep. •Sleep medications: should they be used or not? •Why being a patient scientist always makes you the best patient.

E181 | How To Fix Shoulder Problems With A KB Arm Bar May 12, 2017

E181 is a great short for anyone looking to improve shoulder health. Coach Joe discusses a simple adjustment and some programming options for the kettlebell arm bar. Linked below is Coach Joe working through the Arm Bar and another clip from past guest Doug Kechijian who rekindled Coach Joe interest in this movement. The major adjustment and tip in this episode is when the bell is up and you are on your side to relax your neck and take your eyes off the bell. Doing so forces your shoulders to do the heavy lifting and stability work. Regarding programming keep it simple! As a prep peice load and reps should be light. Why would you want to fatigue the rotator cuff muscle you will need for stability sake in working sets? The short answer is you wouldn’t. Its Coach Joe’s opinion that heavy arm bars are best utilized as a post barbell session auxiliary piece or as a stand alone shoulder strength, prehab or rehab piece. Gang this moves gives you a lot of bang for your buck but remember, Coach Joe is a Jock, not a DOC so consult a PT near you who trains. If you PT doesn’t know what a barbell is he or she will probably just tell you to not use one!

E179 | How To Train At Home When You Have Kids May 05, 2017

On Episode 179 of The Doc and Jock Podcast Coach Joe sits down to share his thoughts on how be successful training at home. Having a garage gym is great. The time you don’t waste in the car alone traveling to and from the gym makes it worth having. Also, as a dad who wants his kiddos to take up training I like having my kiddos around the gym. I want them to access the gym and equipment to tinker on their own. I also like for them to see mom and dad getting after it regularly. This aspect of a garage gym is also worth its weight in kilos. A 2010 article in the Journal of International Pediatrics demonstrated that children who perceived their parents as physically active were themselves physically active That said, to successful train in your own garage set up you need to have few rules in place. 1 - Figure out a home set-up to train at home and do it in front of your kids if you have them. If you train in front of your kids the perception will make them want to be fit. 2 – Carve out a designated space. Your gym space needs to be your gym space. This needs to be the place you get work done. I am a big fan of a compartmentalized place that is just for training. We don’t even park the cars in the garage. Now, we do store some things in the garage along with the training gear but the matts are for training and that is that. If you don’t have the space to carve out your very own training place, but do get after it at home, I would suggest setting up the same way, in the same place, all the time. My wife for instance likes to do yoga in the living room with the kids. When she does this she does it in the same spot and has a routine for setting that up, but more on that later. The point is your at home training space needs to be as consistent a training place as a stand along gym as possible. This will ensure for more consistent training. 3 – Have a pre training routine. If you are going to be training at home you need to set your switch and hit the go button! Regardless of the amount of time I have to train or the type of training I am going to get into I do a few things beforehand to set the mood. My routine consists of writing down my work, informing my little ones that daddy is hitting the gym, and setting my computer up for tunes. Yes, these are really simple things. But, they also ready my mind and my kids for the training session to come. 3 – Have rules in place I mentioned above that I like to have my kids around when I hit the weights. Check out this video from a recent session and you will see my son is a few feet away as I perform a Jerk variation. Inevitably misses happen and unpredictable events take place. Never, not once, or ever is one of those events allowed to be one of my kids getting hurt. In order to keep my kids safe while I’m moving heavy loads the kiddos know, and I check to make sure they are out of danger. One rule is that when Daddy is training kiddos have to be on the other half of the garage or off the training mats. As you can see Mason understands this and stays clear. Be sure to have, and most importantly, enforce ground rules for the safety of participants and nonparticipants. 4 – It’s not your job to throw them a party Now this rule is for those of us with kiddos at home while training is going down. It may also apply to a spouse or frisky friend so be sure to still pay attention if you don’t have kiddos. I don’t go out of my way to schedule events for my kids when I train. As I mentioned before I want them around training, plus I want them to take care of their own business and be independent – which mine are. I see parents over schedule, over stimulate, and underestimate their child’s ability to fill time – all the time. If you do any of these things your kiddos will be dependent on you to get through every minute of the day and that will inevitably eat up your training time. On the other hand, don’t schedule anything. Don’t lay out extra stuff. In fact, don’t go out of your way to set up anything to keep your kids busy at all. I think you’d be surprised at how well they will fill in the gaps. I am fortunate enough to have three kids close in age. Mason is 6, Charlie is 4, and Luci is 2. These 3 play very well together because they spend a lot of time playing well together! And yes, they play with each other. When Daddy trains that is not code word for movie time. When Daddy trains that does not mean the iPads come out. Take the drawing of the New York skyline that Mason created yesterday. The only hand I had in the creation of this picture was taking the picture and providing the freedom for him to be creative. While he did this he also pulled out a few extra crayons and pieces of paper for his little sisters to create as well. The major takeaway is when Daddy trains that is his time, but it’s also the kids time! They can play, train, create, and figure out how to manage themselves quite well. That said, these are still little kids. They can’t manage themselves for hours. Give yourself a time frame so you can truly be productive. Our house is not Lord of the Flies. 60 minutes tops is what my kids get to be independent! Not to mention when they are in that state I am a door away and constantly checking in! If you don’t have a garage or home set up I would highly recommend it! I would also highly recommend coming up with a system so you can train productively. Mine is simple. I Carve out a space, I set the stage, I have some rules, and I make that time productive by making it mine. If you train at home I’d love to know what your system is. If you don’t train at home try mine and let me know what you think.

E135 | Medial Elbow Pain Dec 02, 2016

Episode 135 how to fix Medial Elbow Pain a.k.a Golfers Elbow

Resolve Elbow Pain in 2 Minutes -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQAckgAZfJI

Happy Friday from the Doc and Jock Podcast. On this edition of our Friday short Doc Danny tackles a listen question about elbow pain. Remember gang, if you want your questions answered and training issues fixed by Doc and Jock submit them in the form of an iTunes review and we will jump right on it!

Some folks reference medial elbow pain as golfer's elbow, Danny calls it Weightlifter’s elbow. The fact is that most Weightlifting variations utilize a hands down position which can potentially lead to muscle tightness if you do not proactively change up the position and/or introduce contrast. One of the best ways to help with this type of pain is simply hanging from a pull up bar in a supinated or chin up position. Let gravity do the work as you attempt to increase hold times.

The Mobility WOD voodoo also seems to really help alleviate elbow pain. Wrap the elbow, check out Danny’s video at the Athlete's’ Potential youtube page, and work through push ups, elbow circles and other simple movements.

If the pain persists you should see a pro! A lof of the tightness in the forearm and bicep that causes this sort of pain can be quickly relieved by a few dry needling sessions and/or soft tissue work. Once you are healthy and pain free start small, move slowly, and perform strict variations first. If the front rack hurts start with push ups and horizontal press variations. As the front rack gets comfy perform strict press, then the faster push presses, and lastly get after jerks! If the new and faster variation aggravates the elbow drop load or walk your progression back to the variation with no pain.

Gang, we hope this helps make your next training session enjoyable! In the meantime be sure to head over to www.docandjock.com and download out FREE 7 Day Mobilty Overhaul.

To stay ahead of the game bullet proof your trunk with our Everyday is Back Day training guide. Also, never ever forget…

If you have a body, you’re an athlete!

Managing Elbow Pain Apr 08, 2016

In E#67 Coach Joe provides a 3 prong attack, here is the general overview with some links to videos. Start at the joint: Often times we spend too much time in elbow flexion (driving, mouse..etc) and a little OG banded distraction (using a pull-up band to to create a better relationship between the joining of the humerus, ulna and radius) can clear some space up at the joint, help us move better and get rid of the pain. Check out a video from Doc Danny on how to distract your elbow here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr4SOY6ZtoM Forearm Smash: Coach Joe recommends Jill Miller’s bad ass Yoga Tune-Up ball to do some self massage and trigger point therapy work in the forearm. The basics here are get a ball, put it on a surface and get some weight on it and laterly grind through the fascial layers. If you don’t know how to smash go to http://mobilitywod.com and watch show sponsor Kelly Starrett teach you how. Check out a Jill Miller Yoga Tune Up ball here https://www.yogatuneup.com Blood Flow Restriction Training: This sounds sketchy, but by using a voodoo band with a 50% stretch + 50% overlay we cut off som circulation to the forearm and do some light wrist curls to help develop stronger muscle tissue. If you think this is outrageous then cruise over to an up coming podcast guest Johnny Owens’ web site to hear more and see how guys life Jadaveon Clowney is using it to recover from surgery. http://www.owensrecoveryscience.com Thanks again for the questions and keep them coming via the iTunes review!

Dr. Theresa Larson Discusses Her Book: Warrior Apr 06, 2016

In episode 66 Doc Danny & Coach Joe sit down with Dr. Theresa Larson to discuss her new book Warrior. She fills us in on how being a Marine Lieutenant struggling with an eating disorder helped her turn into one of the world’s most badass physical therapist. Theresa Larson was born and raised in a log cabin on the outskirts of Seattle, fostering a love of the outdoors and an active lifestyle. After losing her mother to cancer at the age of 10, Theresa developed a resilient perseverance and determination that led to a collegiate scholarship and semi-professional softball career, top awards as a fitness competition contestant, and an appointment to Lieutenant in the Marines, where she led an entire platoon while deployed in Iraq. Her service was cut short when she was voluntarily evacuated due to an ongoing struggle with bulimia nervosa. Theresa’s journey to wellness required the bravery to ask for help, to take care of herself first, and abandon the idea of “perfect”. She is now a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the founder of Movement Rx, a physical therapy and wellness company that offers support to wounded warriors and individuals with health and movement issues. She travels all over the world as a speaker for MobilityWOD and the CrossFit Movement & Mobility Trainer Course. She is a lululemon ambassador, and works with nonprofits including Team Red White & Blue, LinderKids.org, Resiliency Project, CrossRoads Adaptive Athlete Alliance, and the National Eating Disorder Association. Theresa hopes that through sharing her story, she will help inspire others to empower themselves, embrace their inner warrior and re-define and acknowledge their strength.

The Tactical Athlete and Back Pain Apr 01, 2016

Dr. Danny answers a listeners question regarding tactical athletes and pain management. The prescription in this case is a lot easier send than done. The key, according to Dr. Danny, regarding the tactical community is getting them to buy in to the maintenance program. One of the keys is using the chain of command to your advantage. Start with small leadership groups and let your ideas roll down hill. Start at the hip mobility and utilize distraction focusing on posterior, lateral, and anterior openers. The fact is within the tactical community strength will most likely not be the issue. Also, spend some time teaching them how to hip hinge focusing on spine flexion vs hip flexion - the deadlift. Picking stuff up is unavoidable. That said, teaching folks to do it right may save you a lot of time in the clinic. Lastly, Gut smashing, made popular by Jill Miller, is also key. Check out her interviews here and here. With many folks in the tactical community training and practicing a lot of sit ups for testing purposes a lot of hip flexor tightness and abdominal abnormalities and tone can arise. The final prescription is a little counter intuitive, especially in a competitive environment like the tactical community. You may want to cut down on volume. Also be sure to check out EP25 - Lower Back Fixes.

Wrist Fixes Mar 25, 2016

As a Weightlifter the front rack plays a crucial role in my own performance. Without solid positioning your clean will surely suffer, the jerk will be compromised, and training your front squat can be torture. Its also my experience that the more surface area of our hand that you can get under the bar in the front rack the better. In a perfect scenario you should be able to maintain a solid hook grip with the bar in your front rack and rep out your front squats. There are a lot of great coaches and weekend courses that teach a relaxed open palm front rack and I do believe it does have a place in training but is not optimal for supporting max loads and eventually going overhead for the jerk. It is my (Coach Joe) personal experience that most front rack issues aren't due to wrist and forearm issues. For some quick fixes that don't involve the wrist check out these two videos ( Front Rack Opener and Elbow Distraction). In fact its my experience that most mobility restriction do not take place where pain is resinating. A quick way to find out if that is the case regarding your wrist and the front rack is to perform a push up. If you can perform a proper push up pain free you most likely have the wrist mobility to hold and maintain a proper front rack. If you can not bottom out a push up pain free then yes you may need to mobilize it. If this is the case there are 3 routes you can go - probably more. The first and most simple is to stretch the wrist using a PVC pipe. Start the stretch by hold the pipe with your left hand, palm down, and the pipe parallel with the floor (if the pipe were clock hands it would resemble 9:15). From this position rotate the pipe clock wise to 6:00 pm then take you right hand and bring the pipe across your waste line. From here you can use you right hand to exaggerate the stretch on the left wrist. Search and destroy in this position for 2 minutes. Repeat with the right arm, but rotate the pipe counter clock wise. Second, Distract the wrist. You can do this with a band, as shown by Dr. Danny here. Distracting joints is always a good idea pre workout as it generally yield the highest returns in terms of increasing rage of motion. Smarter people than me, like Dr. Danny and Kelly Starret have said that accumulating 2 plus minutes on a particular joint is crucial to cause a change. I trust their brain and so should you. When people tell me distraction techniques don't work I generally ask them to show me exactly what they are doing. IN many cases they don't have enough band tension, aren't mobilizing in a position that resembles their sport, and do not spend the proper amount of time stretching. Dr. Danny covers one distraction method in the video above. I would also suggest distracting from different plank Third you can attack the wrist with the voodoo band. This would be highly recommended if your lack of mobility is also associated with pain. Its my experience the voodoo band is a great quick fix regarding pain management. I wrap my wrist with as much tension as tolerable then work through a series of push ups with my fingers pointed in 12, 3, 9 and 6 o'clock positions. I will also hold a plank and with straight arms circle my wrists with my shoulders. Once you get range back it is also important to strength the wrist. The worst feeling in the world as an athlete is to be sidelined by a bad finger or something pretty trivial like a wrist. Interestingly enough in a conversation with Cheryl Haworth she did site wrist injuries as a pretty common accordance in her own career and the repetitive nature of Weightlifting also lends itself that situation. The fact is the wrist is not a huge joint and can only bare so much of burden. With that in mind, weekly, I try and get some wrist specific strength work in. Barbell wrist curls, hand stand walks, planks,

Wrist Fixes Mar 25, 2016

As a Weightlifter the front rack plays a crucial role in my own performance. Without solid positioning your clean will surely suffer, the jerk will be compromised, and training your front squat can be torture. Its also my experience that the more surface area of our hand that you can get under the bar in the front rack the better. In a perfect scenario you should be able to maintain a solid hook grip with the bar in your front rack and rep out your front squats. There are a lot of great coaches and weekend courses that teach a relaxed open palm front rack and I do believe it does have a place in training but is not optimal for supporting max loads and eventually going overhead for the jerk. It is my (Coach Joe) personal experience that most front rack issues aren't due to wrist and forearm issues. For some quick fixes that don't involve the wrist check out these two videos ( Front Rack Opener and Elbow Distraction). In fact its my experience that most mobility restriction do not take place where pain is resinating. A quick way to find out if that is the case regarding your wrist and the front rack is to perform a push up. If you can perform a proper push up pain free you most likely have the wrist mobility to hold and maintain a proper front rack. If you can not bottom out a push up pain free then yes you may need to mobilize it. If this is the case there are 3 routes you can go - probably more. The first and most simple is to stretch the wrist using a PVC pipe. Start the stretch by hold the pipe with your left hand, palm down, and the pipe parallel with the floor (if the pipe were clock hands it would resemble 9:15). From this position rotate the pipe clock wise to 6:00 pm then take you right hand and bring the pipe across your waste line. From here you can use you right hand to exaggerate the stretch on the left wrist. Search and destroy in this position for 2 minutes. Repeat with the right arm, but rotate the pipe counter clock wise. Second, Distract the wrist. You can do this with a band, as shown by Dr. Danny here. Distracting joints is always a good idea pre workout as it generally yield the highest returns in terms of increasing rage of motion. Smarter people than me, like Dr. Danny and Kelly Starret have said that accumulating 2 plus minutes on a particular joint is crucial to cause a change. I trust their brain and so should you.

Is Squatting Everyday Good? Mar 18, 2016

Dr. Danny tackles a question left to Doc and Jock via an iTunes review. Blake asks: "I am following a strength plan around squatting with a barbell every day. What do you guys think about the bodies ability to adapt to something like this? Also, what are the biggest areas I should focus on with my mobility?" The short of it is that it depends. how much time are you willing to put into recovering between sessions, is your movement good, and what are your goals as an athlete. Regarding mobility, without managing your individual needs, hips, ankles, and thoracic spine are great place for most people to start.

[33:30] Danny gives us a template for using unilateral (this means loading 1 leg or arm..like a lunge) loaded movements to help create balance between limbs. [35:55] Your knee is bothering you relentlessly. You can’t squat, you can’t run and you couldn’t jump over a micro machine for a million dollars. How do you know if it’s time to find a practitioner or if it’s something you can self treat with a little MobilityWOD? Doc Danny tells us how to know and how to find a brilliant practitioner like himself. [38:31] Joe gets Danny’s professional opinion on crepitus…which is that weird bubble wrap thing that happens when you squat sometimes. What is it? Is it a big deal or not? [40:50] It’s not often a Doctor of Physical Therapy gets a chance for a mic drop, but at [40:50] in Episode #55 Doc Danny Mata pulls it off with a massive knowledge bomb.

Coaching the Squat and a Special Offer From Ben Greenfield Fitness Feb 19, 2016

Gang if you are interested in a FREE copy of Ben Greenfield’s Look Good Naked Longevity Plan simply head over to iTunes, review the Doc and Jock Podcast and post a screen shot of that interview to the Doc and Jock facebook page linked here! This is a 49 page resource from one of America’s most influential trainers. Most folks have to pay for this resource, not the Doc and Jock audience! Looking good naked is a review away folks! In this new segment Coach Joe answers a question about coaching athletes to squat. In many coaching circles coaches teach their athletes to drive through their heels. In Joe’s mind this is a que gone terribly wrong. The facts are that most new athletes do not have the tools to squat properly. The culprits are usually poor ankle flexion, a weak and/or underdeveloped posterior chain, and in general, poor body awareness. A quick fix in the beginning, in some cases, is to ask the athlete to drive through their heels. Joe discusses how driving through the heels should be thought of as a corrective cue, not one to promote the most optimal movement pattern possible. Joe is not alone in this line of thinking.

Coaching the Squat and a Special Offer From Ben Greenfield Fitness Feb 19, 2016

Gang if you are interested in a FREE copy of Ben Greenfield’s Look Good Naked Longevity Plan simply head over to iTunes, review the Doc and Jock Podcast and post a screen shot of that interview to the Doc and Jock facebook page linked here! This is a 49 page resource from one of America’s most influential trainers. Most folks have to pay for this resource, not the Doc and Jock audience! Looking good naked is a review away folks! In this new segment Coach Joe answers a question about coaching athletes to squat. In many coaching circles coaches teach their athletes to drive through their heels. In Joe’s mind this is a que gone terribly wrong. The facts are that most new athletes do not have the tools to squat properly. The culprits are usually poor ankle flexion, a weak and/or underdeveloped posterior chain, and in general, poor body awareness. A quick fix in the beginning, in some cases, is to ask the athlete to drive through their heels. Joe discusses how driving through the heels should be thought of as a corrective cue, not one to promote the most optimal movement pattern possible. Joe is not alone in this line of thinking. Joe discusses a conversation he had with Donnie Thompson, linked here. In the talk Donnie talks about why the cue works for many people, and also why it is not the most optimal cue to promote athleticism. Also, within the youtube clip Donnie discusses other nuggets regarding foot maintenance. Brian Mackenzie makes a similar point in a recent instagram post, linked here.

Episode at a Glance In Episode 52 the Doc (Danny Matta) and Jock (Joe Szymanek) sit down with Ben Benson, who is the owner of CrossFit Terminus, coach to Emily Bridgers and the founder of the Squat Mafia which is his competitive fitness training program. You’d probably expect this episode to be your typical interview with a high level coach a couple weeks before the Open: programming, mental preparation..etc, however it’s totally the opposite. In this episode Ben, Danny and Joe dive into some pretty deep issues: like “Where do I stand on Competitive Fitness” “Where do I stand on CrossFit” “The dogma of CrossFit” and “What the hell happened at the 2015 CrossFit Games.” If you are looking for some hot tips on how to get to regionals this isn’t going to be the podcast for you. If you are looking to get a glimpse into a very real conversation that tons of high level coaches and athletes are having within the competitive fitness community, than block out the next hour off your life and prepare to have your mind blown. Ben Benson’s Biography Website: http://crossfitterminus.com Instagram: @thebenbenson Head coach, programmer, co-owner, athlete at CrossFit Terminus. Ben Benson was a former climber, mountain biker, and outdoor adventure lover. He traveled the world with ice climbing, but eventually determined that long climbing trips didn’t fit into a normal lifestyle. He found CrossFit in 2007 and instantly became hooked, loving the idea of functional, measurable fitness that was able to be done in a short time domain. He has now coached CrossFit as a full time profession for over 7 years. Ben has also completed the CrossFit Movement and Mobility, Gymnastics, Basic Barbell, Endurance, Science of Exercise, and CrossFit Kids certification courses. Ben appreciates quality of movement and holds his clients to the highest standard. Ben likes class structure and may seem rigid at first, but if you stick with him, he has a huge heart and is always concerned with how to better his athletes through exercise and lifestyle changes. With his tattoo flare, balanced with his perfect hair, you won’t miss this one of a kind coach when you walk into the gym! In the past Ben has coached/ programmed for a Georgia State, American and World Record holding powerlifter. Ben has coached and programmed for multiple athletes during the 2015 CrossFit Games season, with a team (Team Terminus) and individual (Emily Bridgers) winning the 1st annual Atlantic region. He has been Emily’s coach for the past 5 years and together they celebrated a 6th place finish at the 2014 CrossFit Games, as well as an additional appearance at the 2015 CrossFit Games. Additionally, Ben began coaching and programming for Stacie Tovar and Becca Voigt through Regionals for their 6th and 8th CrossFit Games appearances respectively.

Nick is driven by an evidence based approach to the sport of fitness. He is interested in designing sport-specific coaching and training programs using data collection and testing assessments.

[19:01] Why and how Nick uses skin fold testing and what pinching your cheek and chin can tell you about your nutrition. [22:03] Nick’s caloric intake prescription. [24:28] Low carb and CrossFit and finding a balance between getting folks to realize the difference between not eating on rest days and eating whatever the hell they want when training is up.

Recovery Boots, Sleep, Nutrition, and Body Tempering Nov 18, 2015

Episode 38 Recovery Review Dr. Danny and Coach Joe talk recovery. Before we get to that please check out the show’s official sponsor, Mobility WOD. Mobility WOD is the home, and content hub of, NY Times bestselling author Dr. Kelly Starrett. Get your Copy of Becoming a Supple Leopard today at Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Supple-Leopard-2nd-Performance/dp/1628600837/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1438983396&sr=8-1&keywords=supple+leopard Greetings small talk and a recap of Doc and Jocks weekend at The Compound Joe and Danny are back from a weekend spent with Donnie Thompson learning about body tempering at The Compound Gym. Tempering is not for the weak and as Joe found out that, just like the barbell, you have pic tempering gear up with your legs. [9:25] Reflective and Volitional Flexion [10:58] Danny and Joe begin their discussion on recovery. Danny starts it off by talking about the need to quality sleep. You can’t work your way around shitty sleep. The key to great sleep is quality control and adhering to a routine. Joe and Danny also mention the work of Dr. Kirk Parsely who they recently interviewed about his product Sleep Cocktails. Be on the lookout for Kirks Interview to go live on http://www.sleepcocktails.com/ [15:48] Nutrition and hydration are major keys toward improving your nutrition. Past guest Emily Bridgers is dabbing with a hydration supplement from Osmo Nutrition. http://osmonutrition.com/ Joe then begins to discuss his current diet and how he believes it positively effects his road to the next workout. [19:48] Your post training routine is also critical. The key here is to continue moving to activate your recovery. A lite run, row or bike can go a long way toward alleviating soreness. [22:43] Joe asks Danny about the recovery boots. The technology is pretty much intermittent compression designed to push fluid toward the torso. [26:33] How non fatiguing muscle contractions, like those from a Marc Pro, can also be helpful toward recovery. http://marcpro.com/ [28:38] Cryo Therapy is getting a lot of backing from professional athletics. Joe and Danny discuss their experiences. [31:20] Sometimes the key to life is just enjoying life.

[19:48] Your post training routine is also critical. The key here is to continue moving to activate your recovery. A lite run, row or bike can go a long way toward alleviating soreness. [22:43] Joe asks Danny about the recovery boots. The technology is pretty much intermittent compression designed to push fluid toward the torso. [26:33] How non fatiguing muscle contractions, like those from a Marc Pro, can also be helpful toward recovery. http://marcpro.com/ [28:38] Cryo Therapy is getting a lot of backing from professional athletics. Joe and Danny discuss their experiences. [31:20] Sometimes the key to life is just enjoying life.

Anthony Almada Take 2: Testimonials are for Sunday School – Creatine Monohydrate is King, N.O. products are debunked, Magnesium and Zinc Supplementation are Cleared Up, Plant based Multivitamins are Hocus Pokus, and PED’s in CrossFit. Nov 11, 2015

Creatine Monohydrate is King, N.O. products are debunked, Magnesium and Zinc Supplementation are Cleared Up, Plant based Multivitamins are Hocus Pokus, and PED’s in CrossFit. Click here to Check out Anthony’s first show Small Talk Anthony Discusses his vendor experience at the 2015 CrossFit Games, the shoe wars between Reebok and Nike and how the increased TV coverage may be effecting live attendance. [8:35] There have been many different types of creatine to enter the market since EAS first introduced it to the sport supplement market. Anthony lays out his recommendations. As far as the research goes, creatine monohydrate is king. [15:45] Anthony provides some key advice for anyone taking supplements to find the products that work best. The key is simply being a good consumer. Simply ask the companies for the head to head independent research regarding their products. The key is getting off the message boards, avoiding bro science and reading independent comparative research. [19:00] For folks adding creatine to their regime, dosage and timing are important. Anthony clears up the difference between loading and maintenance phases and what his research has shown to be the best way to adminster creatine loading. [23:00] The key to effectively taking creatine monohydrate is dissolving it in hot water, doing so illuminates bloating and GI distress. [24:45] Anthony discusses why taking creatine as a pre workout is a complete waste of time. Creatine is not caffeine. It takes days and time to work. [26:54] Anthony continues to discuss creatine and lays out the dosage and timing recommendations that his research has shown to be best. To increase creatine transport into the muscle the key is taking it every 5-6 hours with either 75 grams of carbohydrate, or 50 grams of carbohydrate and 50 grams and protein. [31:00] Anthony discusses, actually debunks, N.O. products and their use in pre work outs. According to Anthony, most of the N.O. products on the market utilize stimulants to mimic a pump, and he is not convinced any of these products do anything to increase muscle blood flow. Anthony suggests that you go to your supplement store and ask for N.O. products that aren’t laced with stimulants – good luck getting results. [37:30] The best evidence to leverage the Nitric Oxide path is via beet root juice. Neo elite is an interesting company developing products and have interesting data regarding beets and performance. [41:10] Danny asks what Anthony’s take is regarding Magnesium and Zinc. [49:16] Multivitamins are discussed. According to Anthony they always need to be discussed in relation to the athlete’s diet. There is also no head to head independent research to show that plant based multivitamins are any better into cells than their synthetic counter parts. [57:34] VitargoS2, head to head against multi dextrose is the faster into muscles. [63:45] What are muscle biopsy studies and what are the complications. [67:25] Anthony discusses the use of PED’s in the CrossFit Games and Elite Performers in the CrossFit Community. According to Anthony up to 40% of the Elite Athletes participating at the Games, at some point in their training year, had taken some form of PED.

Cheryl Haworth – The Princess and the Platform Nov 04, 2015

Intro and small talk Cheryl Hayworth is a name any American interested in Weightlifting needs to know. She is one of, maybe only second to Tommy Kono, the most decorated American Weightlifters in the country. Competing so long and so successful she has forged some great relationships and created wonderful memories; two things I learned that she prioritizes over any metal. [3:31] Cheryl discusses how she came to develop a relationship with Texas Barbell head Coach Ursula Garza Papandrea and a clinic the two will be heading up just outside of Austin Texas. Click here for details and to purchase your spot! [7:26] We learn where Cheryl will be coaching in Hong Kong and the friends who she will rely on to help her develop as a coach. [9:46] Cheryl discusses how, although her body type may not fit the norm, why she is a well-balanced, confident and a happy person. According to Cheryl the key is a support structure and being around people that could make her laugh. [15:57] Cheryl describes a scenario where she was able to use humor to diffuse a tense situation in a competitive setting. [18:09] Adversity is something all athletes have to manage. Cheryl discusses adverse situations she was able to overcome. One concerning an athlete she was coaching and another that involved blowing her elbow out while competing. [25:15] Cheryl is asked to describe the support structure that made it possible for for her overcome a destroyed elbow to win Nationals and qualify for the Olympics. [30:00] Cheryl discusses the influence and history of her mother. Both of which contribute to Cheryl pursuing her dreams. Cheryl’s mom wanted to be a brick mason but her father wouldn’t allow it. Later in life she pursued the air force in hopes of becoming an astronaut but was also denied. That lack of opportunity pushed Cheryl’s mom to allow her daughters to pursue and experience whatever their heart desired. [33:41] Cheryl is now pursuing a coaching career of her own and discusses how her baggage as a human and athlete are currently effecting her interactions with athletes. During this part of the discussion we also find out that Cheryl was often terrible in practice. In her mind she felt that her spirit as a world class procrastinator was the culprit. She didn’t hold back during training but couldn’t tap into that same fire that the competition setting presented. [37:39] I play devil’s advocate with Cheryl and ask her if she believed the competition volume impacted the longevity of her career. [39:53] We get into training specifics and Cheryl discusses ways that she may have adapted her training as a youth and competitive Weightlifter looking back. In her opinion she was never very strong and would have also spent more time learning the power variations. This is also a portion of the conversation where we learn why Don McCauley named Cheryl the Princess and the Pea. Looking back what Cheryl would have worked on would have been stability, especially in her elbows, and body building work to support her upper body. Her lower back was always a place of weakness that she would have spent some more time training. [44:37] Cheryl describes how the short comings in her own training will impact her coaching of future athletes. As a coach Cheryl wants her athletes to be in the sport of Weightlifting for the long haul and believes coaches can get into trouble when they find a strong athlete and test the limits of their athleticism to early. [47:57] Cheryl discusses how being humble can help coaches and athletes. [49:30] The subject of divisiveness in the coaching profession is discussed. She also discusses why she choose to coach with Ed Haynes at Coastal Fitness in Hong Kong.

Donnie Thompson Discusses Determination, Rehab, Jason Peters, Body Tempering and the Tight Asses of CrossFit Oct 28, 2015

Episode 35 Donnie Thompson If you don’t know how old you are, How old would you be! Donnie Thompson joins the Doc and Jock conversation letting the world know that much of his success in powerlifting was attributed to one thing, pure determination. Donnie has humble roots in pro football, acting, and setting up a commercial gym. Donnie is also an amazing athlete, inventor and coach. As an athlete Donnie was the first powerlifter to total over 3000 pounds and he did it at 46 years old, and then walked away from the sport healthy. If you enjoy this show and want to touch base with Donnie reach out to him on the social media platforms listed below and find a way to get to Columbia SC on Nov. 7th to experience Donnie’s magic first hand during his Foot an Ankle Clinic at The Compound Gym. https://www.facebook.com/thecompoundgym/photos/pb.1409630725946113.-2207520000.1445983792./1652345028341347/?type=3&theater Currently Donnie is making waves helping to keep crossfit athletes, NFL football players, highland games athletes, and anyone with the passion and the willingness to get down to the Compound, not just stay healthy, but also get stronger. Many of his protocols can be found on his youtube channel and are a combination of good research, meticulous practice, and simply paying attention to what works and what does not. Check out his Lower back protocol here, if your back is trashed (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Mkhj0P3Nsw). Dysfunction in terms of positioning is leading to more than just bad health for the individual. We hear a lot of cueing in coaching, like drive through the heels and knees out which are a result of pour positioning, function and awareness. Donnie lets us also know that these problems are simple and easy to fix and many of these dysfunctions are rooted in bad ankles and feet. [26:00] Body Tempering, a strengthening training method developed by Donnie, utilizing heavy steel tubes to diffuse tissue, strength bones is discusses. Tempering is highly anaerobic and will either break you or make you strong. So far so good, folks are feeling good and loving the training. In this section Donnie answers an Instagram question from @BVthePT, clears up the tempering classification, and lets folks know it’s a training method that needs more health professional to experience an support. [37:00] NFL players, specifically offensive linemen, are near and dear to Donnie’s heart – he was one. Donnie discusses the recent injury to eagles offensive linemen Jason Peters, considered by many, the best offensive linemen in the league. It is Donnie’s belief that ankle taping, spatting, and a lack of know how contribute to most injuries that resemble what recently happened to Peters on Sunday night. Donnie believes that if strength coaches worked closer with trainers and doctors and addressed the flat feet that 90% of black athletes have, the lateral instability causing ankle and knee injuries would disappear in the NFL. [42:15] Donnie Lets folks know what his stance auxiliary work is. He loves kettlebells an believes the best auxiliary work should support whatever movement you are trying to strengthen. [44:30] Donnie’s Fatbell is discusses. Where the idea came from, how it was developed, why and how folks should use it, and where to get it are all discussed. Interestingly enough the idea came to Donnie in a dream. One prototype cost Donnie over $800 to make. Don’t worry gang, they won’t cost you that much. Because you are holding the Fatbell dead center it is superior to dumbbells and the kettlebell and Donnie tells you exactly why!

Front Rack Misses and Fixes Oct 13, 2015

Dr. Danny and Coach Joe Discuss Evaluating, Improving, and the Importance of a Quality Front Rack On Episode 33 of the Doc and Jock Podcast Discusses Front Rack Fixes The Front Rack is a position often utilized in CrossFit and is definitely required if you have Weightlifting ambitions. Bottom line is that if you are into barbell training the front rack is a fundamental shape, that when achieved, can be a building block to establish many quality barbell movements, including the Front Squat, Cleans, Presses, Push Presses and Jerks. Before the boys discuss fixing your front rack they talk about the recent flooding in Columbia SC where Coach Joe lives. The front rack discussion first begins with why and how folks experience poor positioning with this shape and why limited positioning with this shape can negatively affect your performance. In particular we see limitation in the ability of an athlete to get into an optimal front rack because of over development of upper body musculature, limited external rotation and flexion in the shoulder. According to Dr. Danny the two areas of focus should be the shoulder and the thoracic spine. If your T Spine is so lacking in ROM and a safe front rack cannot be achieved athletes should look to the goblet squat. To break up areas of restriction in the T-Spine it’s also a good idea to promote extension by laying on a lax ball and getting some downward pressure. Joe also brings up Donnie Thompson’s tempering to strengthen the back and a way to gain neutrality in the spine. Dr. Danny counters with a discussion about paying attention to the rib cage and diaphragm. The conversation then moves to the shoulder. In order to have a quality front rack your shoulder needs to do two things, flex (bring your arm straight up and in front of you) and externally rotate (turning your palm up). If your shoulders have both of these qualities you can not only take a wider grip with the bar, but when you receive the bar in the clean you will be able to take the load throughout the shoulder and chest, not hold the bar in your hands. The boys continue their discussion about grip width and why taking a wider grip is more optimal but why you may want hold off to save your elbows. Danny and Joe then provide insight on how to achieve more external rotation pre workout. Danny believes the best mobility drills look like the exercise you are trying to achieve. Joe then discusses using PNF as a means to gain positioning pre workout. The guys tie the conversation up with a discussion about why being able to do maintenance on yourself is so important. It’s cheaper, quicker, and you end up learning more about yourself through the struggle. Joe then enters into a conversation about why he coaches his novice athletes to work their front racks with an open palm. In Joe’s mind the benefit is forcing the athlete to utilize their legs to move the bar overhead, not the hands. Check out these videos of techniques discussed in the episode.

Diane Fu of Fu Barbell and San Francisco CrossFit Talks Weightlifting Oct 05, 2015

Episode 32 of the Doc and Jock Podcast features Diane Fu of Fu Barbell and San Francisco CrossFit Diane Fu tells all, well, she answers our questions regarding Weightlifting and business systems! Diane was exposed to Weightlifting late in life and has used that to her advantage to put together an eclectic bag of coaching tricks. As the conversation begins we dive into her early introduction to the Sport of Weightlifting, former USA Olympic Team Coach – Jim Schmitz. Interesting enough we find out how coaches back in the day used to trade tape to help their remote athletes. Diane, “Keeps her ear to the Ground” and tries to listen to any coach willing to share their voice to “make the world a better place.” She doesn’t believe there are right and wrong ways to Weightlift, just different ways. Currently Diane is hanging around with Coach Wu Chuanfu (@wuchuanfu), the Singapore Team National Coach (https://www.facebook.com/singaporeweightliftingfederation?fref=ts). Through Coach Wu Diane is diving deep into Chinese Weightlifting Concepts. Diane also comments on the positive aspects of CrossFit Weightlifting and Coach Burgener’s system. Mainly, that it has exposed a large amount of CrossFit athletes to Weightlifting Concepts. Diane also discusses the use of the lats in Weightlifting, not as an Asian thing, but as a control thing. As a coach who has had experience with many different international perspectives she describes what she believes to be the major differences, mainly that each has a slightly different idea regarding expressing power into a barbell. In the end they all just have a slightly different take toward solving the same problem. Diane considers herself the peoples coach. She loves working with athletes who want to use Weightlifting as their means to achieve fitness not necessarily compete. Given the choice, between an athlete who is strong verse one who is mobile or moves better she choose movement and mobility, because strength can be built. The conversation ends with a quick overview of the Rise Program Diane developed, along with Andrea Ager. Rise (https://www.codyapp.com/plans/rise-strength) is a guided 12 week structured approach meant for someone who has already been lifting but lacks strength, tempo and awareness in the lifts. Expect to pack some strength on those legs of yours, experience tempo or segmented lifting, and alternative movements toward developing strength. The following are links to Coaches, Establishments, and great folks mentioned in this Podcast – be sure to tell them Doc and Jock sent you!

Squat Fixes Episode 31 Oct 05, 2015

Doc and Jock Episode 31 Squat Fixes If you aren’t squatting every day you’re probably doing more harm than good. And, if your squat is perfect, you’re lying to yourself. On this episode of the Doc and Jock Podcast Dr. Danny and Coach Joe cover tips and tricks to get you on the right track to getting ATG… Ass To Grass. Before the guys tackle your squat Danny and Joe catch up on what’s new. Danny, preps for a camping trip with his son while Joe wages war on his kids rain boots. The first Squat topic of the day is valgus knee position and knees out as a cue gone wrong. Coach Joe discusses using the toes and feet as a guideline for tracking knee movement while a person squats. Jumping off of a 12 inch box has a lot of uses. Danny and Joe discuss jumping and landing as a means to increase awareness and increase stability and its use to develop a dynamic hip hinge. Its Danny’s opinion that ankle mobility is the biggest factor regarding squat depth and performance. Joe also provides a handy trick to remember and find the proper foot placement while squatting and performing general athletics and creating stability in the hip. Danny gets us back on track regarding the ankle and says that it’s a lack of dorsi flexion that forces athletes into a 3 and 9 o’clock foot position while squatting and moving. Joe asks Danny about the Achilles tendon. Is it a tendon to loosen up? Danny lets us know that by working compression and release techniques around the Achilles we can free up some space but in a general sense you will be hard pressed to increase ROM of the Achilles. Your best bet regarding the ankle is to attack the joint itself and unglue any impingements that might be locking up sliding surfaces. The boys they get into a conversation about what is causing all of this poor ankle mobility. Danny feels that there is a genetic set point regarding joint laxity. You can also trace a lot of ankle issues to folks who played a lot of jumping or high impact sports, suffered sprained ankles, and also never really healed them properly. The biggest factor in poor ankle mobility is probably sedentary behavior and footwear as factors limiting ankle performance. Joe engages Danny on corrective exercises to help strength the limiting factors causing a valgus knee position. Joe then discusses that regardless of squatting technique the a good squat is easy to recognize. Danny lets us know the rolls of the hamstrings and quads in squatting. Squat variations become the topic. Which variations are best, when should you introduce them, and when are your athletes ready to scale up.

Kelly and Juilet Starrett Discuss StandUp Kids on Episode 30 Oct 05, 2015

Episode 30 – Kelly and Juliet Starrett Discuss StandUp Kids dot org Have you ever wondered what a guy like Kelly Starrett Considers the most important thing he will ever do? Wonder no more because he answers that question and more on this podcast. On Episode 30 of the Doc and Jock Podcast Dr. Danny and Coach Joe discuss kids health with Kelly and Juliet Starrett. The Starretts are on a mission to drastically change the direction of kids health in the U.S. Their newly launched non-profit StandUp Kids is dedicated to a simple mission, Fighting for Kids health, One Desk at a Time. If you are unhappy with your kid’s spine being stuck for 8 hours a day in a chair, which the only design consideration was stacking and vacuuming, StandUp Kids is a non-profit you need to support. Partnering up with Donors Choose, the original crowd funder, StandUp Kids is on mission to make global changes to the U.S. educational system. The conversation begins with simply unplugging and engaging in non-structured play and non-exercise activity. The Starrett’s discus their recent trip to southern Oregon and the Rogue River. Hanging out in an area with no cell phone reception and without most modern conveniences they were forced to unplug and go with the flow – literally. Juliet then describes an encounter with a Hippo. Yes that kind of Hippo. After competing and winning the World White Water Championships in Africa in 1997, Juliet was attacked by an adult Hippo while taking part in a rafting trip. Amazingly enough she swam 70 yards to shore in crocodile infested water and escaped with only a small scrape – caused by the tooth of the hippo while breaking through her kayak. We quickly understand that StandUp Kids is about effecting the lifestyle of America’s youth, not simply getting kids to do more sit ups and putting a Band-Aid on a huge problem. The Starrett’s began to notice interesting orthopedic issues popping up with 1st grade kids. Anyone with pre K kids can attest to the fact that they kids run on the balls of their feet and squat pretty well. However, the Starrett’s began to notice poor movement patterns associated with a high degree of sitting. Kelly describes a light bulb moment realizing he had neglected to apply the Mobility Wod model to kids. Juliet also describes a simple calculation she performed that showed that if she stood at a desk, as opposed to sitting, she had the potential to burn an extra 90,000 calories a year! Danny asks if research from the Bogalusa Long term heart study impacted their own research or played into the discovery of stand up desks as a simple fix to a major problem. Bottom line is folks are working hard to solve the childhood obesity problem. Across the board, whether its University research or a subjective experience with 5 classrooms in San Fran, the findings are that a movement rich environment is positive for kids health. Kelly also describes some specifics about the StandUp Kids intervention. If kids are sitting there simply are not many options for kids to move. By making the simple and effective switch to a standing desk kids have more movement options to manage the learning situation, non of which include turning their backs into question marks. One of which, however, is sitting on the floor. The major point here is that sitting in a chair is not natural. Kelly challenges anyone sitting to attempt to jump, jerk, swim or deadlift with a similar posture and spinal angle.

First the gang gets into the different distances that make up Spartan Race and how folks should attack training for each event. Checkout www.active.com for local races near you. Hunter’s first recommendation for ramping up training for a race is to understand and acclimate to the distance of the race and get used to moving and hustling for that duration of time. Hunter also realized early that building strength, joint stability and his lower back through weightlifting were paramount in his early success in the Spartan series. Also, mixing running, large compound barbell movements like lunging and front squat, along with 1 to 2 AMRAP or crossfit style workouts throughout the training week are also important. The guys also spend a few minutes discussing the kettlebell. Hunter gives his point of view regarding Charles Poliquin’s recent negative comments about the kettlebell on the Time Ferris Podcast and how he believes folks can utilize the bell without negatively affecting their back. The gang shifts gears into Hunter’s project, Obstacle Dominator, his business partner Ben Greenfeild, the world of podcasting, and nutrition. Hunter also lets the guys know why he has gone vegan and how it is currently affecting his training and performance. Carbohydrate consumption,
