I do need to work on my posterior chain. No question it’s a weak point. So my assistance work is important here. That said, I only did what I did because I was beat — the deadlifts took a lot out of me. Plus I was bent on getting back to dragging the sled.
So all felt good. I know I’m going to be sore from this one. 🙂
I haven’t tried it, but I’ve watched the YouTube videos and I still can’t figure out…
What the hell is foam rolling supposed to be doing?
Basically, massage.
Google “self myofascial release”.
