THE TWO HARD HABITS FOR GYM-GOERS EVEN FOR THE MAINTENANCE CROWD - THE GURUS 😅
It was said 👇🏿
● Pre-exercise - RAMP
● Post-exercise - Static stretches + recovery protocols
So we obey.
But nobody asks the dangerous question:
BUT WHY? 🤔
The RAMP gets rushed every single time.
2 minutes on the bike…
A few arm swings… “Come on, let’s lift!”. With the AMP part? always missing in action.
●Activation ❌
●Mobilisation ❌
●Potentiation ❌
Then comes the post-workout static stretching:
You hear “1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6…” is always rushed in a full, speaking-in-tongues tone 😂😂
BUT WHY ARE YOU HOLDING THAT STRETCH?
Because the guru said so?
Because everyone else is doing it?
Or because it actually serves a purpose for that particular session and that particular person?
That's the conversation we need.
Warm-ups, stretching, and recovery shouldn't become gym rituals where we blindly tick boxes.
They should have a reason, a target, and a context.
And yes, even if you're only training for maintenance, you still need to maintain the ability to move, perform, and recover well.
Don't just copy the protocol. Understand the purpose.
The guru gives you the WHAT.
The coach should help you understand the WHY. 🧠💪🏾
