It’s been a few months, what’s up now? Are you still messing around with this stuff?
I just watched a video with Cal Dietz and Mark Bell. I dug around on my inner calf, just below my knee and it made my feet and ankles feel great. Way faster and easier than getting on the roller.
I’m kinda interested now. Have you been using this stuff?
I use it on myself every now and then, only when I know I have a specific “neurologic issue” (as RPR call it) and need to reset it quickly, like between sets. I don’t do the whole daily routine thing as they recommend.
I don’t use RPR with many clients, as it can be fairly tricky to get buy in, and I especially don’t do the full reset gamete. If I do use RPR with them, I’ll use it like I do on myself, for specific issues I need to address quickly.
For example, if me or someone I’m working with is doing sprints, but doesn’t get enough hip drive, I might use a psoas reset.
I do use the diaphragm reset a lot though, as it seems like 80% of the RPR benefits come from having that one covered, and a lot of clients I see respond very well to it.
Would I recommend you do it? I would if it were slightly cheaper, but it is still a useful system. Additionally, the information will probably get leaked for free over the coming years. That said, I do not use it with the frequency and volume that it was intended.
One other thing that may be a non-factor, the RPR instructors are all super smart and have a lot to share. I got Mike T Nelson whose an absolute physiology savant.
Finally, in terms of fitting things into my model, I’m definitely leaning more to using PRI/respiration mechanics as the base of my model, followed by FRC. RPR has a weird place in there, only applied when I think it’s specifically indicated.
