Here is the set list: What is FAI (femoracetabular impingement)? How does FAI occur if bones do not touch? What treatments are recommended for FAI? What is the purpose of a warm-up? Should you change someone’s prep routine before competition? What reasons would warrant a change in prep routine? What is EMG? Are EMG studies useful? If/when should we put stock into EMG?

Why Are You Spending Time On A Warm-Up?

Note from Zac: Do you gloss over the warm-up? Do you think a warm-up simply serves to get the heart rate going before you get to the meat and potatoes? If you are simply swinging around your arms while holding plates before you bench press, then you and your clients are sadly missing out on an opportunity to learn important movement concepts and prepare the body in a manner that will maximize the session at hand. There is no one better to speak about making the warm-up one of the most important components of a training session than Michelle Boland aka Coach Bo. In this post, Michelle serves up major knowledge on the three components of a warm-up, and provides an insane amount of practical application. Prepare to build warm-ups like never before. Enjoy.
