Hey MWod Mob,
Good work this last month. The Pr’s you all have been sending and posting are freakish.
Today we are talking about some shoulder positioning required for the Sumo High Pull in the upcoming Fight Gone Bad fundraiser. We’ll also cover a great low back recovery trick. And, a little hip torture.
Ps. Jason is O.G. Crossfit. He was doing bodyweight thrusters when all y’all were still doing “weight” and “cardio”.

Mr. Starrett,
You are a prince among men, a saint, bringing freedom to the masses, like Ghandi only taller.
Please don't stop what you're doing, it is an inspiration to watch someone do something they are so good at and so passionate about.
Keep it up.
PS any thoughts on carpal tunnel?
Kelly,
I'm a rower and have been a guest at SFCF and appreciated your post on rowing mobility and your previous Journal posts on "Executive Stretching." I have an extra flexible tripod for a Flip or digital camera – it's yours if you want it to help with the videos. Thanks, Marc Monplaisir
Kelly,
If there's any movement I've seen cause more shoulder problems, it's the sdhp. It seems as though this movement requires optimum precision in order to avoid shoulder impingement or any other shoulder stress due to even a fraction of deviation from exact form.
In my experience, I have seen maybe 2 people execute the movement correctly, and that was done in a slow and precise fashion for demonstration purposes only, certainly not in the middle of a wod, for example, a round of FGB; when the movement ends up looking ridiculously dangerous.
Given the fact that most people execute this movement incorrectly, leaving the shoulder in an incredibly vulnderable position, it seems this movement should simply just be avoided.
What are your thoughts?
I second the carpal tunnel/tendonitis in the wrist request! My grip sometimes feels a little weak and I think it's probably because of the lack of mobility in my fingers and wrists. Is it bad that I can't get my fingers straight (especially during pushups)?? Mmmm brisket.
Is Jason wearing a Swedish dogtag?
In line with the request for Carpal Tunnel could you do a series on common dysfunctions coaches might see in the gym? Maybe Patella Femoral Syndrome, Poor Glute Activation, Kyphotic extension, plantar fascitis, and I don't know what else. I recognize that correct form is imperative to fix these. But, I would love some guidance to reversing common problems.
Kelly,
Thank you again for having us at your facility and for the incredible hospitality. We had a GREAT time! That 600# tire is a BEAST! lol As always, we came away with some more great gems of knowledge from you. It was an honor being on MobilityWod as well. That was awesome. Thank you again for everything, Kelly. …What you are doing with this Blog is amazing. Outstanding, really.
Colin,
Man, we CAN'T WAIT to have you come check out our new place!!! Miss you, brother!
Johan_S,
Yes, Sir, it is. I'm not Swedish Mil though. It was an honorary gift from some Swedish Special Forces that I trained.
