However, toes can be out about 30 degrees for more comfort. The placement of the feet is for your BOS (base of support). If you have toes pointed too much, you loose stability in the base. Try it yourself and you'll see. Regarding the tracking of knees, for squats I try to push my knees out away from my feet to open up the hip joint. For deadlifts, I keep my knees straight. (less)

Meh.
The first 20% of this book is just stupid and almost entirely unnecessary. I'm not exaggerating when I say it could have been condensed to two pages and the book overall would have been the better for it. To save you the trouble of reading a fifth of the book, I'll just sum it up for you. In one sentence: The way that I stand is the right way, and everyone should stand like me.
This point of view is distinctly different and separate from the sentence: I like to stand the right way. It's also...more

When I first finished this book and implemented its techniques, I had absolutely zero idea about anatomy and physiology. Now after delving into how the human body works, receiving formal training, I cannot endorse this book at all. It follows the older line of thought that it is muscle and tissue that controls everything, and that it can force change through outside influences.

Highly recommended if you are an athlete, trainer, coach, or someone with a physically strenuous job. I don't really fall into any of those categories but the book was for me too.
If you weight train, I'd call this book essential. You need to know you're performing your lifts correctly to both maximize your potential and to prevent injuries that can be exacerbated by repetitions over time. The book is full of photographs demonstrating a variety of exercises and common faults to avoid.

The absolute best reference on keeping your body pain-free while getting fit. Kelly not only knows his stuff, he makes it understandable to the layperson.

Are you tired of being told that your aches / paints / injuries / etc. will go away if you 'just do more yoga / strength work / stretch more'? Do you feel like you're just cobbling together a mix of common sense & pseudo-science & hoping for the best without any clear idea of what is *actually* causing your problems and what is *actually* likely to fix things?
If so, you might at the very least find this book interesting. Starrett's philosophy is that “All human beings should be able to p...more

I finished the book a while back but am just getting around to posting a review.
Kelly Starrett is really well known in the Crossfit community. As a Crossfit gym owner and Doctor of Physical Therapy, he has carved out a really niche of expertise as being the 'joint, form and mobility guy' of crossfit. In addition, he has posted a ton of really useful videos to youtube over the past couple years that have made him a well known name.

I kind of want to give this book four and a half stars instead of five because even though I absolutely love this book and its easily my most useful I feel it has a few flaws.
1. Starrett seems to have gone commercial completely siding with Rogue making his website something you have to pay for and this book showing a lot of product placement.

This is/was a life-changing book for me, up there with Marie Kondo’s Magic of Tidying and Essentialism. I have such a deeper understanding of body mechanics and how to go about training in order to handle loaded movements with proper alignment, grace, and power... like a leopard.
A few things I’ll be ruminating on and integrating into my exercise routines in the coming years:
- Start with focusing on the default position of an organized spine and neutral jaw

I am fascinated with the mechanics of the human body. This book was awesome! I wish I discovered this earlier in my life but I'm not dead yet! You are never to old to learn. Also, it is so important to keep moving as we get older to keep our joints lubricated, muscles and bones, strong. It is a good preventive maintenance book plus you learn great form and function.

I love to work out with my main areas being Crossfit, Olympic Weightlifting, and general weightlifting in the gym. My coach recommended this book very early on into my Crossfit journey. I thank the heavens for Kelly Starlett, his books and his website MobilityWOD. There are so many people that come into the box dealing with previous injuries, mobility issues, or are currently dealing with injuries. I've spent a lot of time observing individuals and one big difference is the amount of time people...more

Today I finished reading “Becoming a Supple Leopard” and I put it #3 on my list of books read in 2016. Kelly Starrett has taken something so simple and ubiquitous--movement--and given us a theoretical framework and practical prescriptions for how to improve how we move on a daily basis at home, at work, in the gym, and in athletic competition.
There are some daily reminders that we can all implement, like how to properly brace yourself and create torque before sitting or picking up any object, wh...more

This is less a book to read from cover to cover, and more a coffee table (or gym, more accurately) resource. I learned a lot from this book in terms of both movement and mobility, and I will return to this as a resource time and gain. I think the beginning chapters are certainly worth reading, however, and I tried to cheat the system by skipping right to the mobility bits and found myself returning to read them. I understand that the format of this new edition is much improved since the previous...more
The mobility work is useful stuff, but I'm left feeling a little bit limited since I don't have a lot of the equipment here at home (boxes, a stable pole to tie bands onto, barbells, etc.)...
The other half of the book is just silly. There's minimal references to works that would justify what is being said, and there seems to be a lot of contradictions. For instance, one of the trainers Starrett claims to be indebted to specifically says to turn the feet out at about 30 degrees when squatting --...more

I love Kelly Starrett and so I was excited when I first learned about this book. I pre-ordered it as soon as I could. I was expecting to see his helpful Mobility WODs in book form, with lots of illustrations and descriptions.
The book does have a lot of great photos and explanations, but a lot of it deals with the various Crossfit movements, like lifting and even rowing and wall ball. That's helpful stuff indeed, but I'm fortunate to have great coaches at my gym to teach me that already, and ther...more

Fundamentally, this book is an organization and systemization of the material that Kelly Starrett has posted on MobilityWOD.com. It covers his axioms of human movement, applies those axioms to teaching correct form on fundamental strength exercises, and provides a set of techniques to address mobility issues preventing you from moving correctly. There's a lot more here than just a bunch of 'stretching exercises'- it's really treating the human body as a complete system and provides a manual for...more

By the first look at the book, this is truly amazing. Loads of images, hints and explanations how to do the various exercises right. It also contains a load of information how to fix common problems like immobilities.
If you are into CrossFit this is the ultimate guide. If you want to become a better athlete, this will help you in many ways.
I am seriously blown away by the book! After reading and viewing http://www.mobilitywod.com/ my expectations were pretty high, I was not disappointed!

The last section of this book is my favorite. It has a diagram of the body that is color coded by regions. For each region there is a corresponding set of exercises to relieve pain in this part of your body. It is incredibly useful and worth every penny of the book. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the rest of the book is also a useful reference that includes a theory of exercise and lots of exercises that you can do at home.

Good writing, but not really as universal as it projects itself to be. I got hooked thanks to the anecdotes, but I'd rather do some yoga instead of what's presented here. I already saw a lot of opinions against this text, most notably from Quinn Henoch of Juggernaut, and I stand by his critique.
Regardless I learned some new stuff.

Takes a while to get through this book but it has a vast amount of knowledge that I now use each time I am at the gym weight its just doing some deadlifts or I am doing some recovery.
Every athletic should have this book.

Becoming a Supple Leopard by Dr. Kelly Starrett with Glen Cordoza isn’t a book you read, it’s an education you work through. From stabilizing and organizing your spine, to creating torque and setting your body up in such a way as to not lose said torque through inefficient movement patterns, to using your braced spine and torqued position through myriads of movements that not only relate to lifting heavy in a gym, but to everyday functional movement patterns. The book even addresses the issue of...more

Starrett is a physiotherapist who has put together a fantastic reference book. Don't be put off thinking this book is only for elite athletes. Even if you are just starting out, learning how to move your body properly is critical. This is absolutely not a book that will inspire you to get off the couch but if you are ready to exercise or are already exercising this reference book is valuable to help you learn proper form, prevent injury and maximize your exercises.

Contender for best book purchase for me in 2018! I have recently got back into serious lifting after rehabbing a pretty bad herniation in my L5 L6. This book is INCREDIBLE, and I have it out on a table in my home gym and use exercises from it daily. First half of the book is focused on posture, organizing your spine, and proper mobility for lifts (and life). Second half is exercises and mobility. Great book for someone serious about taking care of there body.

Incredible book!
Teaches proper mechanics and postures and how to do maintenance of your body.
I bought it because I went under surgery for my elbow, and I wanted it to regain my mobility. But I goes beyond that, it's a blueprint of how you should move and how to take care of your body. It's a must read!

Incredibly detailed book that demonstrates how incorrect movement patterns ruin performance and destroy the body before going to show ways in which the reader can prevent injury through specific exercises
Feb 27, 2019Bas Heetebrij rated it it was amazing
Fenomenal book with a very complete look at human movement. It is dense and technical, but the typical you want to have in paper version at arms length if you are serious about exercise and staying healthy.
Brilliant!
A clear display once again of the equivalent value of a dedicated practitioner within a scientific world.
I can not wait to get started!

For what it is, this book should have references to support what he's recommending patients. Still, I appreciate that he takes injury prevention so seriously for those doing CrossFit.
