Just in case it's a bargain alert for anyone, I just picked up a copy on www.bookdepository.com for €37.90. It's €42 on .co.uk and £49.50 on Amazon UK so seems a good price.

Hanley

Incredible book. Bargain at any price. Everyone go buy it now.

thegreatiam

can I borrow yours when you are done

the drifter

I have a question...

is this book heavy reading or is it simple enough to understand for someone who wouldnt be clued up on mobility stuff....

not read the book, but Ive seen his blog so im going to guess that its fairly easy to follow. He is pretty good at getting his point across to the layman. no doubt reading it you will learn a lot of anatomy anyway.

It's got loads of pictures anyway. Which is great because I don't always understand American.

Waiting for my copy to arrive. KStar has soooooooo many videos up on youtube that I'm sure it will be easy to find a video explanation/demonstration to most of the movements listed in the book.

WHIP IT!

Glad a few people found it useful! I can't wait for mine to arrive, I decided to send it via parcel motel because I doubt it will fit through the letterbox.

Inspector Coptoor

Cheers Dylan.

Read that there.

I've always done the couch stretch against a wall, did it off the couch this evening & was very comfortable while feeling the stretch.

If I can do that for 2 x 1 min each leg per day 4 or 5 days a week id be happy.

the drifter

any ones arrive yet?

Davei141

Mine hasn't processed yet and I ordered Monday.

Molly

Ordered tuesday night. Supposed to be here today

WHIP IT!

I ordered mine from abebooks.co.uk on May 7 and it arrived on May 21... just checked and, including delivery, it cost €37.67

DylanJM

Just a bit of info for anyone ordering it off bookdepository.com. I emailed them today just to make sure every thing was ok with my order because I haven't received a dispatch email yet (I ordered on Tuesday evening). They said they were still waiting for the order to delivered to them but they should receive it in the next 24hrs and then ship it.

Inspector Coptoor

I did a few mins earlier today with the sleeve of a barbell on my quads.
Absolute hell.
Loved it.

Davei141

Mine has been dispatched.

the drifter

mine dispatched on the 22nd so hopefully today

Gordon Gekko

Just to say that the price for this has gone up on bookdepository.com and both Amazon UK and .com. I've just ordered it from Kenny's bookshop for €38 with free delivery from the US.

diegowhite

For anyone who doesn't want to wait for the hardback, it's available on iTunes also.

DylanJM

Got my dispatch email this morning.

Thephantomsmask

Mine is at the parcel motel depot, hopefully have it tomorrow

the drifter

Mines going to be next week so

Thephantomsmask

Success!

the drifter

JJayoo

My copy was shipped on the 23rd, will let you know when I get it.

the drifter

You know it's a book about stretching right? I'd never have imagined there'd be so much excitement about stretching.

Mobility also

diegowhite

...and about moving your body the right way for lifelong health (the stuff that everyone takes for granted as automatically learned when growing up), improved strength, fixing long or short term pain, analysing where form breaks down in exercises and how to resolve it and a few other things

JJayoo

Bunch of nerds all excited over a book.

What a heartless money grabbing bast@rd he is!!!

thegreatiam

working my way through this book now.
Seems to be quite an easy read for a layman.
Quick question tho, if I am reproducing the exercises on my own, especially the first chapter on spinal alignment, how can you be sure you are executing it correctly?

not a question exclusive to this book as any form or movement will be better practiced with an instructor, but if you are solo how can you work through a book like this and be sure not to do further damage?

He's on the Joe Rogan podcast next week.

I really hope you're not giving away free copies considering how much K Starr has given away for free already over the years
