Welcome back to another episode of RX’D Radio with your Sunday hosts James Macintosh and James Thayer. Today we discuss optimizing preparation work to provide the best result during workouts. Key concepts include the importance of minimal effective volume, assessing your warm-up without overdoing it, and learning how to maximize efficiency. Explore the loadability of exercises during preparation and how to reduce redundancy, to make sure your warm-up complements, not duplicates, workout efforts. Tune-in for the importance of building self-awareness within warm-up routines as we touch on why that awareness is critical for body positioning, exercise quality, and creating gatekeeper exercises. Learn how to create a litmus test for your readiness in this episode.   Don’t miss the release of our newest educational community - The Pre-Script ™ Collective!
