Haha I never heard of the term 'grok squat' before but i sure have heard of asian squat. i am part asian after all lol. and when I went to viet everyone squat like that in the streets.
Haha exactly. You can tell the mobility of ANYONE just by telling to get into that position. Most children can do it just fine.
your hilarious
Just want to say I've been doing this limber 11 for the past 3 days and it has helped a lot. Thanks for the post.
I did it today, it's not bad at all. Gonna try it again tomorrow.
quickness in movement??
Short, explosive movements that target the primary movers of a movement are used to activate the nervous system before lifting. Like using lunge jumps or box jumps before squatting. But you want to keep the volume very low to avoid fatigue. Something like 3 sets of 2 and sufficient rest between sets. This is something you would do after a warm up and before your primary lift. Plyo-push ups would be a good one for a pushing day.
Link to the upper body routine?
Thanks. I do that now anyways minus the pec stretch. Looks like a static stretch.
Yea too much static for preworkout. The lower body one is very dynamic.
sure, its not a stretch you wanna do in public haha
This pic makes me laugh every time
i do it myself along with my hanging and grok squat ha
This is one of the main movements I used when I developed upper cross syndrome when I worked at a bank. Works very well alongside other things if you have that syndrome.

Some of his stuff is helpful, but I've never been wowed by anything he's taught. I'm a much bigger fan of Donnie Thompson, especially since he understands the grind better having been a long time competitor.
Have you read Anoop's thoughts on him?
I have not. Link?

I am really confused by this! So is this saying that posture is not important, the way you sit is not important and there is no need to stretch or do anything for mobility? So what is he suggesting to do as the alternative?
Yeah it's good to build some time to recover around heavy mobility work. I won't do too much deep stretching / rumble roller action before squat day, but afterwards yes.
There's a phrase that has zero meaning and needs to die. How many people do you know that have zero issues when it comes to their squat? I have literally never met a person that doesn't have some daily mobility restriction when it comes to their squat.
You got it backwards. He is saying the biomechanical model of pain is outdated. The biopsychosocial model is the current one. The issue he feels is that people rely too heavily on the biomechanical and totally ignore the other
No, not at all. That is not what he is saying. What he is saying is that people like kstar are putting too much emphasis on the biomechanical aspect and linking it directly to pain and that pain is much much more complicated than that.
yes no i know this , but this model is very complex and too many factors.. i study pharmasie and the healthcare one puts the feelings of the pasient before the welbeing of the pasient.. its stupid and much like most models its unpractical
That has nothing to do with what he is talking about
It's not that the pain is all in your head per se, and it certainly isn't helpful to tell someone in pain that it's all in your head nor do I think that's what the article suggested one does.
