As a runner who is training for a marathon, these foam rollers czcams.com/users/postUgkx9XSsjzA4f84VmhBCHlyhec7XILIxennL are really good for sore and tight muscles. This one is a good size (mine is the purple, 36 inches) not too big but big enough to work and roll both my legs at the same time - I took a photo holding the roller next to me just to provide a better representation of its size. I noticed some reviewers who complained that this is, “just a foam noodle”… and yes, that’s exactly what it is. It’s a high density foam roller. It is absolutely NOT the same consistency/strength/durability/ or texture as a ‘pool noodle’ thought and I disagree entirely with those that say so. As a former collegiate athlete and marathon runner, I’m comfortably giving this roller 5 stars. It’s lightweight and durable and does just what I need it to do at a budget-friendly price. Overall, I have no complaints and am happy with it!
I've just started weightlifting and this is really helpful. My mobility for the front rack of the clean, overhead mobility for the snatch/OHS needs a LOT of work. I'll add this foam rolling to the hip, pec, shoulder, and ankle stretches/lacrosse ball exercises. Thanks for this video!
@mario porter As stated in the video and accompanying article, what you're describing is what I recommend post training or on non-training days, but not as part of a pre-workout routine. Two different things, similar in a sense to using primarily dynamic ROM work pre-workout and static stretching post-workout.
Greg Everett has a voice like Jon Benjamin (Coach McGuirk, Bobs Burgers) that makes any funny thing he says even funnier. The golden days of Robb Wolfs podcast were when Greg and Robb would just answer questions. Sorry, I didn't intend to come here and comment on all this stuff but Greg just makes me laugh!
Far be it from me to correct what works for you, but when foam rolling, the idea is to get rid of adhesions and get the golgi tendon organ to "turn off." This is done by applying pressure to the tender spots for approximately 30 seconds and then moving on to the next one, then stretching the affected areas, not by "kneading." Once you've addressed the affected areas and feel the need to knead, then do so in hopes that you might find another area in need of release, but not as an effective strategy of SMR.
I'd argue that the mechanism for foam rolling's effectiveness is not actually known - all we have are theories, and they run quite a spectrum of possibilities. My recommendation here is specific to pre-workout and experience with my weightlifters has shown this protocol to be effective. Post-training, more aggressive and specific protocols like you describe are used.
be cautious of rolling the hamstring with a straight leg as it can impact the sciatic nerve. Jill Miller recommends only rolling them in a seated position.
Question to channel owner; when doing atg squats with narrow stance and oly shoes I get a sharp pain in my upper right calf. What is this? U have any idea?
But why? My father was an Olympic lifting coach training all sorts of athletes over my entire growing up years and I don't believe they have ever done any of this kind of thing... Same with the other warm up video you posted. I'm just want to know the reasoning why this is better than the traditional barbell warm-ups I've been taught. I guess I'll be giving it a shot and seeing how things improve for me.
This is not a replacement for an actual warm-up - it's an initial phase of a complete warm-up, which for weightlifting, will nearly always include some kind of barbell movement series, whether general or strictly specific.

Thank you so much!! This has helped alot. Greetings from Sydney. 🙌

Good stuff. Thanks!
Thanks for the awesome content dude! Exactly what I was looking for. Damn, how is this the only real no bullshit rolling tutorial out there? Haha.

Great video , nice Neubauten tattoo

Great video. Quick question, should you do these exercises on both sides of your body?
Only if you don't want to walk in circles.
coolcatr he's telling you in a funny manner that you should, to keep things symmetrical
Can this workout for those training only in power lifting movements as well?
Absolutely
Question to channel owner; when doing atg squats with narrow stance and oly shoes I get a sharp pain in my upper right calf. What is this? U have any idea?
Hard to say, but if it's a sharp pain, I'd get a pro to check it out.
when i widen the stance or do flat shoes it dissapears. must be some kind of immobility some where...
thnx for reply
I’ve just started weightlifting and I’m stiff as shit. Do you advise doing this every day or couple of days even when I’m not training?
Every day
@@CatalystAthletics Difference being on off days you can roll a lot more if you feel the need correct?
@@TheSn4zzle You can roll as much as you want any day really - if you find it helpful, go to town.
