Warm-Up with Matt Chan

The CrossFit Journal -- (journal.crossfi...)
In six minutes at the start of Coach's Prep Seminar Staff training at NorCal CrossFit in San Jose, Calif., Matt Chan takes CPC Seminar Staff members including Austin Begiebing, Zach Forrest, Jason Khalipa, Austin Malleolo, Lindsey Smith, Chris Spealler, Nadia Shatila and Hollis Molloy through a dynamic warm-up.
And because Chan's leading the charge, you can expect quips and sarcastic remarks while he's getting the athletes moving.
As he puts the class through 25 jumping jacks to be performed in unison with Chan calling the tempo, he gets to the 14th rep before pointing to Malleolo and singing him a quick tune to laughs from the rest of the class: "One of these kids is not like the other."
Then there are lunges that require touching the elbow to the ankle, followed by torso rotation and pointing to the wall behind.
"It's coordination, it's coordination-it's difficult for Jason," Chan says of Khalipa, who finished second at this year's CrossFit Games. "I'm just messin' with ya, Jay, come on."
Next it's a slight bend at the waist with tight abs and side-to-side swinging of the arms like a speed skater.
"Old iron ankles, you look terrific there. Terrific," he says to Eric O'Connor, who laughs. "Worst thing I've ever seen."
Humor aside, Chan has quickly identified several mobility issues and even found a modification for Spealler, who suddenly starts struggling with push-ups.

In every videos I see, Matt Chan always look like he's a fucking nice guy. I just love the positive attitude and overall great vibe the guy has. Looks like a genuinely great person.

[@gama9980]

Whether you're a trainer, a coach, or whatever physical prep, this attitude makes an effing difference.

[@judyta8885]

He definitely is a genuinely great guy!

[@AlwaysHardHead]

Good for today too

[@alphawolfsquadrin01]

I love how it's noting but games athletes like Spealler and Khalipa plus a few recognizable HQ people.

[@ahmedsalem487]

I love how humble chris spealer is and jason is so heavy and unflexible

[@Raventhief20]

Lol, this is why Matt Chan is one of my favorites!! Would love to take some classes from him and Spealler!

[@windlord1111]

Good one. I've already passed it on to a buddy who asked about a similar stretching/warmup topic.

[@filson1358]

always warming up with you guys

[@liltcup76]

I see a lot of these guys would benefit greatly by taking a yoga class (once/twice a week) to balance that awkward brawn with more flexibility.

[@thomasblack3415]

How 2013 is it that Jason Khalipa is wearing toms while working out

[@howarja]

Seriously! I followed this while I was in my cubical and other people around me started following along!

[@gnikolov87]

Jason is hilarious :D

[@TyEdward1924]

That mustache is so creepy! I wouldn’t want to workout at his gym!

[@mikebox]

Took me 6 mins to notice the shoe's Jason is wearing.

[@misterairsoft101]

Have you seen how big he is? It's hard to be as felxible as the guys there when you're twice their size.

[@louismagerman581]

Is Kalipa doing the warm up with Espadrille ? :D Genius..

[@DavidChapa-nq9jm]

Count me in

[@DubbyDominate]

Think Jason needs a bit of flexability lol looked like he was struggling to roll his arms

[@russiantothefridge]

matt chan has a good energetic vibe. most energetic trainers are annoying.

[@ako541]

looks like "toms" but it'll probably be some reebok product !!

[@psirianni24]

What's you view on people who use static stretching prior to workouts ? I'm a fan of dynamic

[@jonescolej]

One of these Marines is not like the others. haha

[@MegaAnarchy69]

[@blakerussell6495]

Jason is so unflexible

[@ZahidKhan-me8gw]

Who is the guy on the very right at 6:07

[@SpidermansSymbiote]

This warm up looks a lot better than the one most crossfit gyms have "Your workout is my warmup" and basically making you tired before the WoD

[@fitdevwalia8298]

Nice

[@syauqejamaludin]

[@sarahb7254]
