$20...wow, just go to a hardware store and pick up 3' of 6'' PVC pipe for a few bucks, you may even be able to find foam.
I haven't stretched in ages, will start foam rolling post-workout though. I think stretching actually made things worse for me, my pec injury may have been caused by the fact that my shoulders are incredibly flexible, and I just got in a bad position for my pec benching one day.
we had pvc pipes in my old school.....would it be tough without foam?
and yeah i never stretched before. but ive been trying it out. i mean its mostly dynamic stretches and hip mobility work though.....but if my deadlift doesnt go up ima be mad.

I assume it'd be a lot more intense, but I've done something similar before with a steel rod and it works, just gotta go easier.
I'm still more flexible than I need to be, I used to stretch every day when I did bjj.
Do moar deadlifting!!! There was a point where all I did was rackpulls/deficits/legs every other day for a few months when I couldn't lift upperbody.
The reason foam rolling hurts and makes you 'tender' isn't because you are exhausting or working a muscle, it's from breaking down adhesions and scar tissue built up over time. You should basically roll until it feels less painful, no matter how long that takes.
As you continue foam rolling, your 'bad' spots will hurt noticeably less and you can continue as needed for maintenance of healthy tissue.

I was too lazy to load up a barbell and the hack squat machine already was loaded, I like them a lot, can focus on contracting my traps and not worry about grip.

And yeah I was gonna squat, but then I realized NOM Z is right. I need to deadlift. I'm gonna do some heavy deadlifting and gotta redeem myself.

Standing Band Crunch...Ghetto Rev Hyper
ABx4x12...BWx4x20
Good workout, did full pause on the box for all sets since I didn't feel like doing hella reps on the max set. Back is feeling good.
I always assumed that the
dots ment you where supersetting right?
And strong ass ghetto's! Where do you do yours ? I stop doing them because I needed too much assistance and wasn't feeling crap.

I do em in the smith machine, and the band crunches too. It's pretty much all the machine is good for. Been doing them to rehab my back.

Lol srs? Grab a mat...put it on the bar...do your hypers...end of story...you could even use a bar tampon.
well the matt and the pussy pad will help but that **** is still probably going to be a pain to move on. and i dont think bodyweight will be enough for long, so the weight thing is what i find the most hard

Lol na, doesn't hurt at all when I double that mat. You can always use mini bands if you don't wanna use a DB.
will a baseball bat with tape wrapped around it work for foam rolling?
