As we make our way down to the ankle we have to think beyond just dorsiflexion/plantarflexion. What we consider here is subtalar eversion that allows the foot to stay flat through relative supination at the rearfoot and pronation at the forefoot.” – Supple Leopard Camp

Also – putting your hip into max flexion/external rotation/abduction does create the most stable position but that does not mean you cannot squat ass to ankles, in fact it is the only way to squat ass to ankles while maintaining a stable/neutral spine, proper alignment in all joints and least passive tension on the body (which a loss of will cause torsion moments on the body and increased stress on joints)” Tight musculature could actually be the body protecting itself from damage to CNS, known as neural tension. The final part is the administering of a set of Mobilization Techniques after having diagnosed problem areas and selecting the correct techniques for them. It is here where the textbook nature of Becoming a Supple Leopard comes together. You need to know the theory to diagnose dysfunctional mobility or appreciate the current level of mobility and the desired level of mobility. You need to know the tools and techniques of your craft, in this case Mobility exercises and tools. Finally, you need to put together the appropriate exercises and tools to come to a treatment. These are the Mobility Prescriptions.

Part 2 discusses the theory and ideal execution of several Mobility exercises. Here we see the introduction into the actionable theory of various movement techniques ranging from Push-Ups to Muscle-Ups. The book divides a list of 26 exercises, many of which we are familiar with in Calisthenics, into 3 categories. If you want to fully appreciate this work, it will mean memorizing and practicing many of these exercises yourself. At the least, you need to know what is meant by all 26 of these techniques and know their movements. This idea of “torque” that the Supple Leopard Camp continued to refer to is in reference to Starrett’s book, where he frequently refers to the ‘Laws of Torque’ at the hip and shoulder.The Amur leopard is solitary. Nimble-footed and strong, it carries and hides unfinished kills so that they are not taken by other predators. It has been reported that some males stay with females after mating, and may even help with rearing the young. Several males sometimes follow and fight over a female. They live for 10-15 years, and in captivity up to 20 years. The Amur leopard is also known as the Far East leopard, the Manchurian leopard or the Korean leopard.

If we want to speak anatomically/biomechanically/physiologically then we know that the hip is the most congruent at 90 degrees of flexion in moderate amounts of abduction and external rotation. Since Oly lifting requires more depth (Ass to Ankles) then we have to get more external rotation and abduction to maintain this congruent (minimal passive tension) to maintain the stable spine and vertical torso.” -Supple Leopard CampPlace a lacrosse ball or small Supernova under your left hamstring, just below where it meets your butt.
