If You Can't Crawl You Can't Conquer
If You Can't Crawl, You Probably Can't Stay Injury-Free Either....
As many of you in the #HitFitFam know I am a HUGE fan of Primal Fitness. So Any movement that is named after an ‘animal’ I am all for it!
➡️ KOHAN’s LAW:
‘Any Inability to Crawl, is an automatic Red Flag 🚩/Sign For Pain and Performance Problems...’
When this occurs we want to RE-Learn To Crawl: 👇👇👇
So This week I am breaking down our rebuilding progressions in a step by step process for relearning the crawl patterns to protect the shoulders, hips and lower back, while gaining the ability to move like a human again.
Key Coaching Points:
• Stabilize the shoulders, core and hips and maintain this posture throughout the movement.
• Keep a pronated hand position with your palm facing the floor
• Replace the hand directly under your shoulder and reset before repeating
• 3 Sets of 10 Reps per Side – Non-Alternating
Key Coaching Points:
• Lock in your shoulders by externally rotating your hands into the ground
• Drive your leg straight back into hip extension and circle your hip around
• 3 Sets of 10 Reps per Side – Non-Alternatin
Key Coaching Points:
• Bring your arm into flexion first, then drive your leg back into extension
• Replace the hand position followed by the knee position
• 3 Sets of 5 Reps per Side – Non-Alternating
KeyCoaching Points:
• Only change from above is now you are moving arm and leg simultaneously
• 3 Sets of 10 Reps per Side – Non-Alternating
Key Coaching Points:
• Focus on the basics, keeping a neutral spine and moving smoothly through all steps
• Never sacrifice form for speed or duration, this is about training controlled & fluid movement patterns
Just because you may not be a beginner doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go back to your foundations and tune it up from time to time. Your ‘Foundational’ work is the most important aspect of your training if you expect to continue making gains in your training program.
See, there are certain movement skills that human beings should be able to do because they are HUMAN. Crawling is absolutely one of them!
Unfortunately, by the looks of the average adult it’s safe to say they have picked up so many bad postural habits that they have detrained their movement systems And in return, the muscular imbalances have gotten out of hand. So they probably have enough trouble getting up and down from the floor, let alone crawling on it.
If you've lost the ability to crawl, that's a major red flag sign for pain and performance problems to creep up on you in the near future. And when it does creep up on you it is going to hit you like a ton of bricks.
But don't just jump into an entire workout worth of bear crawling just because you are getting frustrated with how awkward and uncoordinated it feels.
Rebuilding a movement pattern must be calculated. It must be systemized. And it must be simple
Remember, before you can move like an athlete, you must be able to move like a human being
