Anatomy Movement Video

This video will help you understand anatomical movement terms. By knowing and understanding these terms, it can standardize the way we talk about movement whether it’s in an actual lift/exercise, mobility, injuries, or rehab.

  1. Hey Justin, great video. Have you or anyone else on this site had ART (Active Release Technique) done. I’ve been struggling with hip/low back issues for about 4 months now and have thought about trying it out. I seem to have hit a wall with how much I can improve it with just mobility work.

    I know someone who is ART certified (I believe she had to be a massage therapist first, but chiropractors can have an ART distinction/certification). Barring a severe injury, I refuse to believe that correct mobility work or strengthening cannot improve your situation. Can you detail the existing issue with how it happened and what you’ve tried? If you don’t want to do it on the site, then feel free to e-mail me.

  2. Klokov just put up a video of a massive Snatch that he pulled from a deficit. 2kg over Aramnau’s record.

    Wow. Fucking legit outfit too. That kind of looked like Aramnau in the background…anyone know who that was?

    How do you guys find these videos?

  3. Justin,

    I don’t know if it’s Klokov himself or just someone at the Russian Training Center but the Youtube account

    44252005

    Is the account putting up his insane vids. Maybe that’s Aramanu in the blue shirt but every video I see of him is at a different gym.

    That’s clearly Evgeny Chigishev leaning on the racked 70kg at the very end.

  4. quick mobility stretching question(s): What’s the best way to do these MWODs on Starret’s site and the ones you have posted? There are so dang many, it will make you dizzy trying to put it all together. I do the three stretches for lifters after working out, plus I may thrown in some extra mobility stuff. In the mornings, I try and do some light stretches (toe touches, side bends, hip circles, etc) then pvc/lacrosse rolling. When I have extra time, I’ll do an upper body MWOD one day (shoulders, thoracic, pecs) and lower body the next (hips, legs, calves), usually rotating the same ones. Does this look like a good set up?

    That would be one way to have a nice general approach, assuming you don’t have any glaring deficiencies that need extra attention.

  5. Awesome video – thanks. I had anatomy in high school but my motion terms were rusty. This was a big help. I shared it on Facebook with a specific eye towards all the roller derby folks I’m involved with.

    P.S. Southern Living FTW.

  6. Excellent. I bought Anatomy without a Scalpel a couple of weeks ago, and have just started writing stuff down in a note-book to try and remember it all. It’s a great book but because I’m not using these terms all day I’m actually having to study it properly to get everything.

    This video helps a lot. It’s amazing how much quicker you learn when you combine a number of methods – like video with reading and writing.

  7. Forgot this…My gym that I just got a membership to(only one I can get to and its not near me at all) doesn’t have a power rack that I can do powershrugs in theres nothing at all..it has a squat rack but no actual powerrack since theres no pins to get into the correct starting position for the shrugs whats the best alternative; just shrugs that you hold the whole time or would you recommend another whole movement?
