The 4-Hour Body - An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman - Timothy Ferriss
This is an unusual combination. Jon Torine, their
head strength coach, has used the FMS for that entire period of time.
The Critical Four
Initially, this chapter was going to be dedicated to the FMS. That was, until I realized that
isolating the problems with the FMS was just the rst step. Step two was prescribing the
corrective actions for each major mistake in each of the ve movements, and that would easily
take 50 pages of dense material.
So I e-mailed Gray to reduce the seemingly irreducible:
Assuming people do the screen, what are the 24 corrective exercises that you'd suggest to
best x the most common imbalances/weaknesses? If you had a gun to your head and had
to pick 24 exercises for correction across the board, what would you choose?
Gray's picks were, without hesitation, the following critical four:
Chop and lift (C&L)
Turkish get-up (TGU)
Two-arm single-leg deadlift (2SDL)
Cross-body one-arm single-leg deadlift (1SDL)
