Foam rolling rolls out the fascia that envelops all your muscles.
Move on to trigger point relapse after a while. Basically you find the real knotted area, work it hard, then press on the tenderest part and hold for 10 secs. Repeat a few times. Makes a savage difference.

What would you use for this? A tennis ball?
I’d say Physio/therapists have lost a bit of business since foam rollers have become mainstream products.

I just use a foam roller. But I have 2, one is the regular blue ones and another one with hard indentations in it. They can really get the sore spots, it’s a thinner layer of foam around a PVC pipe. I also have a spikes ball and a hard ball. A sliothar would do find, although the balls don’t work on every area. Great for backs and calves and quads. Not good for hammys and Glutes.

Anything that hurts them cunts is no harm. They have being lying to people for years. We just lost a lad to a re-occurrence of a knee injury. I got the strength program a Physio gave him. He just kept doing it for 4 months, he was not ready for football at all. Poor exercise selection, no progression. They are great of the first stage of recovery but useless after that.
The shit they get people to come back weekly for as well is criminal.
going to embark on all merciful Tabata session in the gym in japan tomorrow morning to fend off the jetlag… hopefully a prowler will be available, after which ill do sprints and backwards running with pressups to finish
If you can do anything afterwards then it ain’t Tabata
High Intensity Interval Training or HITT rather than Tabata

thinly veiled I am aged 31-35
No prowler in our place but our S&C coach got us to carry the squat rack across our shoulders, walk for 20 metres, drop it, drop for 10 press up claps and do that 5 times.
The primate savagery within a lad would really come to the fore when your under that yoke.
great age to be

it really sorts fellas out
I usually make a run at it similar to the crouch, hold , engage sequence that rugby footballers do and then charge with my head down and eyes closed roaring as i push it over the broken asphalt. there seem to be 2 techniques, one is to push it with arms straight, i prefer to get my head in between the bars, bend the arms and drive off the front leg and the shoulders, one time i fell over tho when i was turning the yoke, that’s brutal altogether, ferocious twisting on the lower back,

What kind of squat rack is it? Do you mean squat bar?

that’s a shopping trolley
Worth picking up a running parachute - only £7.89 on amazon
No loss really, but sleds are better. The parachutes used to cost a load, but a few studies found them far less effectual than sleds an even downhill and uphill running. Hence drop in price, they can’t get rid of them.
No, its a heavy duty rack.
Stand in under it. Carry it across your shoulders and walk across the room.
Abuse any cunt that looks sideways at you as the sweat pumps out of you.
Kevin what about prp? Pioneering or propaganda?
Just purchased a foam roller recently to try and assist with a tight hamstring. Any suggestions on good sites/guides to get more info on how best to use?
Lie on your stomach, legs out straight behind you. Place the roller across your hamstrings. Don’t move for 30 minutes or so.
