Have you ever thought about which muscles control the rest of your body?

In this episode of Align podcast, Dj Murakami and I discuss how you can increase your body strength and understand your range of motion. We also talk about how important the jaw’s role is when it comes to our posture and how everything in the body is connected. We find out how we can start cultivating our own jaw to release tension in the body, maximise our global strength and find the power to change our face structure through training. 

Meet the guy who lifts stones, flips tree stumps and sprints on sand to pump up his strength. Who needs metal? DJ Murakami is a trainer and “movement libertarian” with over 15 years experience in Southern California. Dj is the owner of Human Strong Training, and the creator of Chi Torque Course, Torque Stick Course, and Predator Protocol Program.
