The Warm-Up Hack That Unlocks More Speed, Power & Performance


Listen Later

Are you training hard but still leaving power and speed on the table?

In this episode of The Movement Driven Podcast, Dr. Greg breaks down Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) — a science-backed training strategy that can instantly unlock more strength, speed, and explosive performance.

Whether you're a golfer looking to add yards off the tee in St. Johns or a runner hitting the trails in Jacksonville, your warm-up could be the missing link between where you are and where you want to be.

Dr. Greg explains in simple terms why priming your nervous system with heavy lifting before explosive movements leads to bigger power outputs — and why static stretching before a power workout may actually be working against you.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • What Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) actually is — in plain language
  • Why your nervous system matters more than stretching before a power-focused workout
  • The exact protocol: how heavy to lift, how long to rest, and which movements to pair
  • How PAP applies to golfers, runners, CrossFitters, and active adults 30+
  • Why rebuilding strength before layering in power is critical after injury
  • How to ask yourself the right question before every workout: Are you warming up to feel loose — or warming up to perform?

Whether you're a weekend warrior, a competitive athlete, or an active adult who wants to keep up with life's demands, this episode gives you the tools to train smarter — not just harder.

🎧 Listen now and rethink your warm-up.
