Impulses For Arm Care?

Something to take into consideration with the impulses is if you do impulses in the same way you do, let's say, J-bands. Like, let's say you're a thrower and you do impulses in the same way that you do bands, it's going to lead to the same effect eventually that bands have.
And I don't mean like in terms of, you know, bands are obviously, they have give, impulses are quick impact. But what I mean is your body will adapt to that if you do it in the same way over and over. And this is why I don't use impulses as an arm care modality; it's not an arm care modality. It is a training tool, right? Whatever we do, we want it to be actual training, not just arm care or something that we do every day to try to get things to feel good.
We want it to actually stimulate enough to cause a level of difficulty where your body has to adapt. And so this is why it's not like I don't do impulses every single day for my guys after throwing, or I don't do one thing every single time the same way.
We need to continually change it if we want your body to have to adapt to it. And that is the principle, right? The impulse is a tool. The impulse is a modality. It is not the thing. The stimulus that we give your body is the thing.
So I would encourage you to not use impulses as just an arm care tool in the same way that you do bands or in the same way that you do whatever else that you use, like kettlebell carries, et cetera. It's not that. It is a tool that we use to actually put stimulus into your body, but we don't do it in the same way every time. And we don't do it at the same time every time or every week in a normal schedule. We want to actually challenge the survival of your body, which means that it consistently needs to change and it consistently needs to be done at a higher or a greater level to cause those adaptations
