warmup

  1. How do YOU warm up?

    As the heading says! Cardio equipment? Bands? Dynamic stretching? Specific movements? Rollers? I'm just interested in forms of warm ups! For me, it's dynamic stretching and band work. Have a good weekend!
  2. Can you FEEL when your muscles are stimulated enuff?

    Yeah, like the title says, we want to rock up to the gym and train with sufficient intensity to provide a stimulus for muscle growth. Now the scoop of WPI post workout shake question is.. Can you feel when this actually happens?? Look at it this way. There is A) a point whereby the muscles...
