Dr. Kelly Starrett

I have a little sweat on. I've practiced. I've touched some positions and shapes. But what I see is that in the typical training session, there's a lot of work to get done. So now I think training has become very, very dense. You know, here's this piece, here's this piece. Now I do this accessory work. I got to hit these cards.

And so the warm-up for me has been one of the last places where I can get you to explore new movements, something you saw on the internet, play around. If you came to my gym, you know, or we came to my house now, I'd be like, let's go throw the medicine ball for five minutes. And there's no wrong way, but I want you to start to explore speed. I want you to explore catching an object and going fast.

And what we haven't done – and I suspect I wouldn't say that your warm-up is the best way. I'd say it's one way to get to the thing that we want faster. And potentially you stop doing what didn't work and what didn't serve you, which I really want people to understand is that if you're not blind going through some program – I want you to say, does this serve me?

Because my experience working now 20 years with the best teams and athletes and organizations on the planet is athletes do what work and they stop doing what doesn't work. Isn't that interesting? So what I love is that you started to get under heavy loads relatively quickly in movements you had real competency and exposure with.

Yes, because what we want to do is come back to say, what's the least amount of work I can do to have the biggest adaptation And three hours in the gym doesn't fit into your life. And it doesn't fit into the typical person's life. And theoretically, you're gonna have to go do a sport. So you're gonna have to recover from this sport and this training session, right?

You were like, hey, I can't even handle this high volume. You know, it's a ding on me too. I can't handle the same high volume as my friends can. So wasting your time in quotation marks with lots of high volume sets of an empty barbell might've been useful at some point. And maybe it doesn't serve you as well now. or because you have to put so many plates on that bar.

That's a warm-up by itself, right? That's not an issue for me. So you walked a mile to load those plates.
