which groups are the best for warming the Front Rack Position for Front squats? Are people still applying these methods today after three years? you know people have short term memory and constantly change.

@@ramblr5900 shoulders, lats, supra, and neck I found to be pretty helpful

[@Hunter_lemon]

This actually helps. What he says sound ridiculous, but definitely giving me sort of instant relief on my back

A lot of commenters have no idea who Cal Dietz is. The guy has forgotten more about strength training than all of their knowledge combined.

This was crazy, I was sweating and I was thinking it was brighter and then he said on the video. Crazy

[@Health.and.Frischness]

Been using RPR for about a month now and LOVE the results. A creaky left knee that always hurts until extensively warmed up is now good to go with 3-5 seconds in between sets. A bum left glute which led to hip pain so bad I thought I was looking at surgery at 42 feels STRONG after a few sets. All of this is interesting and beneficial to anyone who takes it seriously and applies it. I'm curious to re-read Anatomy Trains and see if I can make more sense if it all. Thank you Mark and Cal for recording and sharing!!

[@ronaldcapeaujr4124]

Which of these do you use for knee and hip ??

[@ronaldcapeaujr4124]

And glute ??

[@NoNeckNoProbz]

I'm really curious, if you just fire up your SNS because you're putting yourself in pain?

[@Health.and.Frischness]

@@NoNeckNoProbz I've wondered the same thing. I'd love to see some studies on that. For what it's worth, 2 years later I'll still use rpr from time to time, and it does seem to provide a near instant sense of "release" in certain areas for me, but I've found more benefit in terms of creaky/tight joints with training for full ROM.

[@07.buddhi]

Hi! Did you manage to find something interesting in Anatomy trains? Any correlations? 🙌🏻

What kind of dark magic is this? This provided immediate relief from the breathing restrictions and shoulder/back pain that I have been experiencing for several months/years.

[@mydavegabicycle]

This is based on something called Chapman's Reflexes, aka Neurolymphatic Points discovered by an Osteopath. Originally was used to treat more systemic conditions (organs and stuff) but a Chiro named Goodhart realized it had more direct effect on Muscle Activation. And here we are. There may be overlap with some Acupuncture but from my understanding, it wasn't based on it originally. Independent invention.

This is also my first time here and I am not a skeptic at all. Looks like a rapid Military method if you can say that online even here. I've been using this RMM for quite a while it is quite actually useful to Jiu Jitsu Jutsu yes very Brazilian with elbow and rotator cuff inverted also third is wrist and can throw in hand sapinate-sapinated as well. But lying down, excellent to Chest Press even.

And LMAO at all the people shitting on the supraspinatus... He's not saying that's where it's located. That's the whole point of RPR. How did you get that far in the video without freaking out and saying "YOUR GLUTES AREN'T ON THE BASE OF YOUR SKULL!" Give something a chance before you shit on it.

Dear Mark Bell. I have been watching alot of your old videos with silent Mike. I miss those days. We miss those days. Watching them makes me happy and is motivating. This chest rubbing shit makes me want to take a nap. I understand moving to the future and a new self is great. Please please please, one video of you, Mike, maybe even that short chubby bearded guy lifting and being Strong.
