Product Description

Gray Cook Athletic Body in Balance – Updating Athletic Body in Balance – Gray Cook Performance Pyramid

In this talk, Gray Cook discusses the important points he made in the book Athletic Body in Balance, and follows that with what changes or additions he’d make if he were to re-write the book now, 10 years later.

“What I want to do on the 10-year anniversary of Athletic Body in Balance is tell you what’s happened since I wrote the book, and if I were to re-write it today, what additions I would make. You might also wonder what deletions I might make.

“Let’s first do a recap, starting with the title, Athletic Body in Balance. Every philosophy that stood the test of time preaches balance. Some preach it from a standpoint of moderation. Some preach it from a standpoint of perspective and are continually adjusting the different forces in the environment that are shaping and developing you each day. To this day, I go around
the world preaching a red flag strategy.

“The entire secret sauce in my career and in my influence is because I haven’t been pulled into the hypothetical debates of “Is this better than this?” in a situation where there’s a red flag or a horrendous imbalance. ~Gray Cook

  1. Matt

    I’ve often wondered how relevant Athletic Body in Balance is now, seeing as it was pre-Movement. This lecture answers that, giving a great perspective on Gray’s work and its development. It is well written with some great insights and some extras that aren’t in either of his other works. It’s like he’s at the gym with you in person, giving an idea on his training/ movement philosophy. Highly recommended.
