It seems that a lot of people are interested in adding Active Recovery techniques to their program, but aren’t sure what to do. Hannibal and I have put together some example movements to demonstrate some of the moves. Try to be creative and make things up. When I do AR at home, I use things like couch/chair legs, banisters, railings, door tops, etc…to suspend the band. It’s always fun to come up with new moves, and rig up something I’ve never done before. The idea is to mimic the movements that made you sore in the first place, in an effort to get blood and oxygen flowing through the muscle. As a bodybuilder, AR will not re-rip the muscle fibers and interfere with recovery, but it will speed up the recovery process. It’s important to realize that this is NOT an extra workout. The closer you grab the band to its point of suspension, the more tension will be in the band, so if it starts to become cumbersome allow more slack in the band to lighten up. I generally do lower back and ab work daily (sometimes multiple times each day), and also whatever is sore (which generally corresponds to what I worked the day before).
