Be Activated/RPR Follow Up: With Video

I've been using RPR for a few months now and told you I'd do a follow up a few weeks ago after I had more experience with it.   I added the RPR daily activation drills pre-training and have been having good success in terms of:

• mobililty
• belly breathing
• overall feeling better
• warming up faster

Last week I spent a few days at the APF Equipped Nationals with Marc "Spud" Bartley and he asked me if I wanted him to run through some Be Activated stuff with him. The video tells the story.   If you are curious about these techniques, I give you my experience with them in the video.   As a piece of proof, I deadlifted today. I have been puling off blocks for a while and going lower than 5" blocks has been impossible, and any weight over 225 had been causing pain before I added these drills in. Today, I pulled an easy and fast 455 off 45 pound bumpers. And, 315 off the floor. Yeah, I know, there are plenty of girls in the 165's that can pull this, but today was a milestone. I handled a weight that hasn't been in my hands for over a year from lower blocks, and pulled from the floor with no pain.   With that said, Spud asked me to shoot a video for him on my experience. I decided to share it here too.   Find me on Google-search for Total Performance Sports Malden, Mass. The Best Gym in Boston, Facebook too. Oh, yeah, follow us on Instagram too.
