Rehab Programming with Kelly Starrett

Kelly Starrett shares his template for rebuilding athletes after injury.

He uses an example of an athlete, who had his ACL repaired.

Priorities:

• Position
• Load
• Volume
• Speed

Position:

• establish good form
• work on tissue

Load:

• Basic Linear Progression
• 2+ weeks for at least 2 movements
• for example squat & deadlift 3-5 days a week
• load: 3×5 increase weight every workout 5-10 lb

Volume:

• once athletes peaks, drop down to 80% and add volume -> 5×5 with linear progression

Speed:

• jumping running , power cleans

Then challenge these different aspects with metabolic work.
