Track mostly good, 50m was shit though. Squats, at the end of 1st set I mucked up / struggled replacing the weights on the pins and had to do more than just placing them there. I must have slightly strained my lats around T8-11, I didn’t notice it at first but did during / after the second set so decided to stop. It was more a dull tightening than anything else and I don’t think it is really that bad. I did some RDLs to give it a bit of a stretch and they were fine. Noticed a decided lack of ROM on stretches and rested on the floor with ice packs for 30 minutes after that. As I have said I really don’t think it is a major and should be back to normal in a few days.

as expected my back is recovering very quickly. Was quite stiff first thing but once I got up and about got better. I expect it will be good as gold in a few days.

biked at 7.30am and weights at 5.30pm. Have been using my ‘standard’ foam roller 3 times pw and used my new Thera Roll http://www.aokhealth.com/xq/ASP/ProductID.1385/qx/product.htm for the first time after bike ride. …WOW!!! I didn’t whimper like a girl the whole time. :o
I seen this in pics and the net, would you say It’s a good foam roll? How would you rate it compared to the regular round one?
Do you also have the Ball with Spikes? http://www.aokhealth.com/xq/ASP/CategoryID.160/qx/category.htm
The ball i have is made from Hard Plastic, and not foam - too hard to use the 1st few times, but after your muscles settle a bit, it works nice. I recon the Foam would be much better.
Definitely worth the $40 or for it (including postage from Aus).
Compared to a regular roller? Hmm well you know that first time you used a roller and went ouch that hurts (well I did :p) I would say this is about 1.5 X that and I use my regular roller 3 times pw.
No don’t have the ball with spikes.
