Awesome! No magic secrets here…just a great warm-up emphasizing conditioning, injury prevention, and flexibility. Bill Parisi and Martin Rooney take you through each exercise, and then you get to see a group of college football players perform the warm-up.
I found the video to be very helpful personally because I had no prior idea how to construct a thorough dynamic warm-up. Others might find it helpful solely from the standpoint of variety (there are a large number of exercises). I’ve also viewed the Parisi agility and deceleration videos…if their is a request for a review of these I’d be glad to do it.
Yes if anyone get this please let us know if its any good. I wanted to check it out but my gut instincs tell me its going to be a bunch of Seagrave type drills.
I don’t know about the video, but the book is not bad. I’m not sure if it’s the same warm-up, but it’s just a series of bodyweight drills and some activation stuff. I wouldn’t pay $50 or whatever for it.
I’m with ya. Parisi’s products are kind’ve expensive when you consider the subject matter. I think for $50 bucks you can have a half-hour conversation with Rooney himself or you could just discuss things on elitefts.com anyway. I’m releasing a new video that I’m selling for $150 bucks that is me doing all of charlie’s drills and it’s called, “Physical Preparation Training by a Cleptomaniac”. It contains stolen material and commentary!!
I used to be all into the dynamic warm up. But I never felt that I got my legs “nice and hot” and ready for sprints. I went back to a typical warm up or what Charlie calls “warm up I and II” after years of dynamic warm up. I find that warm ups I and II work better.
If anyone has ideas on mixing the two types of warm ups but still keeping it simple please post some ideas.
I’ve made similar changes. I still use some dynamic warm-up elements but I start my athletes much slower than I used to. It was impossible before for my athletes to repeat the movements I would demonstrate because they weren’t warmed up so now I have taken a lot of Charlie and Clemson’s advice and things go much more smoothly.
There are a million different combos and routines. Plain and simple, they are a bunch of exersices and drills mixed with accelerations. I find them to be too complicated and they dont get my legs hot like a warm up I and II.
For races I do WU I and II plus some starts. I like to pick a spot close to the starter that will be starting my race and get a few practice starts.
