Traditional Warm-ups are Nonsense

This video shows how I warm up before dunking. The principles I talk about in this video carry over to how you should warm up before doing any other activity (weight room, sprint work out, playing sports etc.)

I like your videos mate but a couple points:
1. Some people are more inhibited than others. May need more extensive warming up / different kinds of warm up to bring inhibition down
2. Sometimes there are specific things we may want to activate or loosen off before moving on, eg, maybe if my back is tight I need to get some blood in there with a cable row or back extension before moving on

What is the point of the band under your pattelar tendon?

Warm-ups really are overrated. Thanks for spreading this!

[@willratelle8027]

Yes! my biggest pet peeve as a strength and conditioning coach is having to do formal dynamic warm ups.

[@Wayf4rer]

I think there's value in it if you're ancient, but I've always felt like if you require that much of a warmup to do general strength work, you have a lot issues that need solving.

How do you structure your sport teams group warms ups?

[@willratelle8027]

A lap or 2 around the facility, then it depends what the plan is for the day. If we’re going straight into lifting, I’ll have them do a short barbell complex sometimes or even just go right into their first exercise and give them the time they need for warm up sets. If we are sprinting/jumping etc I’ll have them do some sort of small sided game for a few minutes.

@@willratelle8027 nice, how about pregame? Still short, simple, sweet?
