PRP at Home Training

by Christian Sullivan

Few Key Notes:

Training focus if going to shift from throwing and lifting big, to learning how to move well through body weight and stability movements. 

Also, we can change stimulus by adding bands/chains and changing the tempo of the movements. Another focus would be mobility.  You can make an “at home” workout very dificult by challenging the tempo and/or holding basic movements.  

It is important to continue mobility every day to maintain the “gains” that we have worked so hard for. Feel free to mix in the mobility movements into a full body lift for enhanced movement efficiency.  

I know some of these movements may be unfamiliar, but they can be found on YouTube. If you have any questions regarding working, mobility, nutrition, the mental side of things, or further explanation on a movement, feel free to reach out to me via email or text.
