LEARN HOW TO HACK HUMAN MOVEMENT

Join the movement that has reached millions of athletes and coaches; learn how to perform basic maintenance on your body, unlock your human potential, live pain free…and become a Supple Leopard.

Improve your athletic performance, extend your athletic career, treat body stiffness and achy joints, and rehabilitate injuries—all without having to seek out a coach, doctor, chiropractor, physical therapist, or masseur. In Becoming a Supple Leopard, Kelly Starrett—founder of MobilityWod.com—shares his revolutionary approach to mobility and maintenance of the human body and teaches you how to hack your own human movement, allowing you to live a healthy, happier, more fulfilling life.

Performance is what drives the human animal, but the human animal can be brought to an abrupt halt by dysfunctional movement patterns. Oftentimes, the factors that impede performance are invisible to not only the untrained eye, but also the majority of athletes and coaches. Becoming a Supple Leopard, makes the invisible visible. In this one of a kind training manual, Starrett maps out a detailed system comprised of more than two hundred techniques and illuminates common movement errors that cause injury and rob you of speed, power, endurance, and strength. Whether you are a professional athlete, a weekend warrior, or simply someone wanting to live healthy and free from restrictions, Becoming a Supple Leopard, will teach you how to maintain your body and harness your genetic potential.

Learn How to:
    prevent and rehabilitate common athletic injuries
    overhaul your movement habits
    quickly identify, diagnose, and fix inefficient movement patterns
    problem solve for pain and dysfunction in austere environments with little equipment
    fix poor mechanics that rob power, bleed force, and dump torque
    unlock reservoirs of athletic capacity you didn't know you had
    identify and fix poor movement patterns in children
    reverse the aging process
    develop strategies that restore function to your joints and tissues
    accelerate recovery after training sessions and competition

    improve your quality of life through regained work capacity.
    run faster, jump higher, and throw farther

About the Author

Coach Kelly Starrett received his Doctor of Physical Therapy in 2007 from Samuel Merritt College in Oakland, California. He currently runs his own physical therapy practice at San Francisco CrossFit—one of the first 50 CrossFit affiliates—and focuses on performance-based Orthopedic Sports Medicine with an emphasis on returning athletes to elite level sport and performance. His clients see exceptional results from his progressive blend of manual physical therapy and strength training. Since 2009, Kelly has been traveling the country teaching his "Movement, Mobility & Maintenance Course" in an effort to spread his message that good mobility and proper movement are the keys to good performance and that all humans should be able to perform this basic maintenance on themselves.

Kelly's clients have included Olympic gold-medalists, Tour de France cyclists, world-class extreme skiers and X-Games medalists, dancers with Smuin, San Francisco, and Sacramento Ballet Companies, military personnel, and competitive age-division athletes.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Much Good May 10 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
TL;DR Make a better decision, buy this book.

This book can really be broken down into two complementary but distinct sections; it is an amazing guide to optimal positions during fundamental movements like the squat, deadlift, bench press, and more advanced olympic lift movements, and the second half is a guide to fixing the mobility problems keeping you from getting into those optimal positions. Regardless of your sport, the mobility and positioning guidance in here will make you better.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Epitome of Awesome May 2 2013
Format:Hardcover
I pre-ordered this book long before the actual release date, and having been waiting anxiously ever since. As a big fan of the MobilityWOD my expectations were high, and when I finally got my hands on "Becoming a Supple Leopard" I was anything but dissapointed.

Kelly Starrett's Mobility Project has had an incredible impact on both my own training and how I train my clients, and this book represents the sum of that project, concise and organized for easy reference and understanding. (Plus, the design of the book is awesome.)

I highly recommend "Becoming a Supple Leopard" as a MUST HAVE item in any athlete or trainer's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best solution for your mobility needs April 28 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've pre-ordered the book, thinking it would be a secondary resource on top of my other crossfit related litterature. However, it turns out this is THE book to own when doing/teaching crossfit, as it walks you through the good the bad and the ugly about movements. Definitely a must-have for the average crossfitter.

Oh and Kstar's a genious!
