Why You Must Improve Your Posture & Train For Life

by Zach Even - Esh 15 Comments

Zach-Kelly-Starrett

I just had an amazing weekend in Alexandria, Va. My family and I took a short weekend trip to hang with great friends and get my learn ON. Kelly Starrett was in the house for a private seminar at Trident CrossFit, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Quatro Deuce.

Stop learning and you stop living. Period. I am gonna be attacking my learning this year like never before. The goal is to get smarter and better in order to help Underground Strength Nation & Underground Strength Gym become BIG time better as well. When I get better so do you.

The critical importance of this blog post is to get Underground Strength Nation to show some serious attention to posture during every waking minute. Your shitty posture can BIG time lead to pain and in effective movement and overall performance.

I saw a picture of my back and saw just how sloped downward my shoulders were (Anterior Depression. It's NOT so much that training hurt me, it was what I was doing during the majority of my day that was hurting me: Sitting & Poor Posture.

By the way, what are the 2 unhealthiest things I've ever done in my life?

Writing a book and opening a 2nd gym! ha ha I am aggressively working on my posture at ALL times and have completely removed sitting from my book writing time, standing desk ONLY. I suggest you do the same.

Let me explain in this video where I discuss how improving your posture is the same as training for life. HUGE thanks for the inspiration from K-Star.

Please drop your comments / questions below and also check out this opportunity to pre-order K Stars new book, 'Becoming A Supple Leopard'.

I'll have to get him to explain what that means with a surprise I have for Underground Strength Nation.

    Great vid Zach. I have been doing a lot more foam rolling and mobility work this past 12 months and notice a huge improvement.

    So do you now have 2 facilities now do you?? How do you find the balance, I’m thinking of opening another soon but it’s hard to get advice from anyone that has actually done it.

    Anyway, great stuff, keep it going 😉

      Foam rolling is one thing…. Proper positions is another!!!

      Balance?

      We shall see! ha ha’

      Having a great Coach who can take the reigns is critical. This will be a learning experience for me as well!

    I’ve recently ramped up training for the Crossfit open, and with the high intensity work and different metcons, I feel 100% better when I do the “little things” like cool down properly after and daily mobility work, no matter how small. It all matters! Thanks Coach Z!

    Lov’n the new site Zach. Nice and simple.

    I’ve been working on my posture and one thing I’ve noticed, from a vanity stand point, is that a strong posture does a lot to show off the strength and muscle you’ve built up.

    No matter how much muscle someone has they don’t look nearly as good when their posture sucks. Fix the posture and they look leaner, tighter, stronger and more confident.

      Matt! Fix that posture and suddenly those shoulders are borader, waist smaller, lats wider, traps more defined and you LOOK like you are proud of who you are!!!

    Right on target once again, Z! Posture is of vital importance!
    My wife is an OT and one thing she sees often is people who can no longer stand up straight. People need to be aware of this every day!
