Warm-Up · RAMPPhase 1 · Shoulder armor & kinetic prep · 6-8 min
Time__ : __
1Thoracic Rotationsteady breathing rhythm8 + 8
2Hip Circleships fire first, shoulders lag — feel the separation stretch6/side
3Cable External Rotation3-s eccentric on every external rotation — armor is built slow2 × 12
Phase 2 · Footwork, Deceleration & Reactivity8-10 min · full recovery between reps · react to a call, not a plan
Time__ : __
1Reactive Cut on Coach's Callsplit-step lands AS the call comes — react, don't guess5 × 10 s
2Drop Stepplant, cut, and recover 180° to the centre mark5 × 10 s
3Depth Jumpbrake in two steps max — chest over knee, hips low4 × 4/side
Phase 3 · Rotational Ballistics — Kinetic Chain10-12 min · 100% intent per throw · rest 45-60 s · both sides

4Suitcase Carryknee tracks the second toe on every wide plant2 × 20 mkg
Progression: Loading rule: unilateral first — the court is played one leg at a time. Dominant-side rotation gets HALF the volume of the non-dominant side to balance match asymmetry.
Phase 5 · Posterior Decompression & Vagal Reset4-6 min · sleeper-line shoulder traction, psoas release, breathwork

Coach notes: Log every load and every time box — next week's card asks for 2% more.

Protect the dominant shoulder — pain-free cuff work only; watch knee valgus on wide cuts; balance rotation volume both sides. Scale load to your level, stop at pain, follow the BPIT Principle of Intensity and NASM/ACSM/ACE safety guidance. Educational — not medical advice.
