Pre-Activity Prep 

Coach,

 

I was wondering what you look for when you design a PAP for a certain block of training.  Are there certain PAP criteria that needs to be met for each day or block?  Although, I have been using the components of Parisi's Dynamic Warm-Up Method, Chris Doyle's Dynamic Warm-Up for All Sports, and Magnificent Mobility to name a few, I was thinking about how efficient your various PAP look.  When looking at the Movement Prep, I feel that the most efficient, time wise, is the most advantageous. 

 

Thanks for you insight!

Re: Pre-Activity Prep 

 My first real successful PAP program I developed in my garage and when I brought it to my athletes at ASU if was a tremendous success, especially in breaking off our Block Zero athletes

This was the basic template

Movement 1 - Total Body Exercise/Posterior Chain

Movement 2 - Power Zone/Core

Movement 3 - Iso Progression Lower Body [Static]

Movement 4 - Movement Lower Body [Dynamic]

Movement 5 - Iso Progression Upper Body [Static]

Movement 6 - Movement Upper Body [Dynamic]

 

This was done as a circuit for 2-3 rotations

 

This was a great work out in itself.  I always go back to it when I start thinking too much.  I add in corrective/prehab type movements in our Preparation Progression for Tier 1 Movements.  This is usually 3-4 sets depending on starting load for Tier 1 Work Sets

 

I will grab some examples of this PAP template and post to Professional Site.

 

Sorry for the delay

 

WORDS WIN

Coach Kenn

Re: Pre-Activity Prep 

I think I have stolen almost everything I do from Coach Kenn, however my athletes go through their Pre-Activity Prep a little different. I like our athletes to do as much as possible on their feet, so our Movment 1 is always done standing and usually using the three positions of feet narrow, normal, wide. I think core work is core work, I copy Coach Kenn on this one. I like, but do not love Isometric work so in place of that we have our athletics do some sort of in place movement, something where there hands and/or feet are in a fixed position. Our dynamic movments involve our athletes picking up and putting down there limbs. I think this set up of PAP is true athlete based training as we are warming up the areas that need the most attention. My training and my athletes training have been more effective using the PAP template. I've broken down my basic template below. If anyone else using anything different I would love for other people to post their templates.

 

 

Movement 1- Total Body/Posterior Chain - but always done standing ( Mini Band Pull-Thru's, Good Mornings, RDL to Shrug)

Movement 2- Power Zone/Core - just like Coach Kenn

Movement 3- Lower Body/ Feet in Fixed Position ( Band OH Squat to Box, Bar OH Squat to Box, SL Squat to Box, Box Squat & Press)

Movement 4 - Upper Body/ Limbs in Fixed Position (Band Scap Pinch Vertical and Horizoantal, Wall Slides, Band Up-Right Row & Pull)

Movement 5 - Lower Body Dynamic (Usually some sort of Matrix: Lunge Matrix, Uncommon Lunge Matrix, Step-Up Matrix)

Movement 6- Upper Body Dynamic (Upper Body Step-Up Linear and Lateral, Med-Ball Walk-Up and Walk-Over)

Re: Pre-Activity Prep

Great points, And like how you made it your own.  One of my number 1 goals of this site and how I educated is stimulate the thought process.  Some of the things you incorporate into you PAP is what I am doing in my MMAP that coincides with my preparation sets for the Tier 1 Exercises.  This is what I call preparation progression.  More to come on that 

MMAP = movement mobility activity prep and usually will have what I consider basic correctives for that correlate to the top exercise of the day.  This was something that me and my former staff member Byran Dermondy were starting to look at while we were working together.  Bryan is the man on corrective movement!!!!!
