If you want to optimize your training sessions and prevent injury, upper and lower body activation movements are important elements of training. The goal is to prime and activate your muscles and joints in the body in order to optimally set the foundation for the demands of your workout.
It’s important to activate these areas because it increases blood flow and nutrients to the muscles, as well as fires the brain to engage the muscles needed to optimally perform those big powerful moves such as squatting or overhead press.
