Warm-Up · RAMPPhase 1 · Kinetic priming · T-spine, hips & cuff · 6-8 min
Time__ : __
1Leg Swinghips open, shoulders stay back — feel the bow draw across the torso8 + 8
2Arm Circlessteady breathing rhythm2 × 10
3Rear Delt Flythe cuff catches what the whip releases — slow 3-s eccentrics2 × 12

Throw with the body, armor the arm — flexor-pronator work weekly, rigid block leg, stop at any medial-elbow or lumbar pinch. Scale load to your level, stop at pain, follow the BPIT Principle of Intensity and NASM/ACSM/ACE safety guidance. Educational — not medical advice.
