What’s the difference between Prep and the Custom Strength Training with ArmCare?Updated a month ago

ArmCare offers two distinct training components tailored to an athlete's needs:

1. Prep – Designed for daily use as a warm-up or active recovery routine.

  • Purpose: Activates key muscles before throwing, lifting, or practice to improve movement quality.

  • Customization: Some players will receive custom prep modifications based on reported arm pain or soreness.

  • Duration: 5 minutes or less.

  • Intensity: Lower resistance, focused on neuromuscular activation and mobility.

  • Best Use: Before activity or as light recovery work on off days.

2. Custom Strength Training – A personalized strength program based on ArmCare test results and specific arm health needs.

  • Purpose: Builds shoulder strength, endurance, and resilience to prevent injury and improve performance.

  • Customization: Adjusted based on your strength scores, progressively increasing resistance and intensity as you improve.

  • Duration: 15-20 minutes per session.

  • Intensity: Moderate to high, depending on identified weaknesses or imbalances.

  • Best Use: 2-3 times per week, depending on your training schedule and recovery needs.
