I did & I could STILL hear it :finga:

Unsure about the exercise, have you tried it?

Can see that it would target the area but surely there are better exercises out there from the usual Nordic lowers (glute/ham raises to those who don`t know) to the bog standard rip off`s of the yoga & pilates holds that get banded around for woman.

I think I would prefer variations of a bridge and tables into swipes instead. Just a little too gimmicky for my taste. But then I am a tad biased when it comes to this kind of work.
Of course I do a similar move with the foam roller post workout, so I suppose that too could be considered gimmicky, and yes Cookie I finally bought a foam roller, and yes you are to blame :finga:

I like it, it is not earth shattering but for the money and what it does I believe it should be a part of everyone's arsenal. However, I really do not feel I am using it to its potential. Right now I am just using it on the back and neck. What else are you using it for....and keep it clean no need to go there :finga:

Cool, how long do you average for each group?

Off topic, but as a kid I used to build swords and axes out of wood and duct tape this stuff to them before putting them to the test. Drove my parents nuts and killed a few brain cells on my brothers ...strangely they held onto a couple of those works of art.

5-10 rolls on each area depending on

a) how knackered I am
b) how hammered the muscle group is
c) what DOM`s are like from previous session

Re-off topic.

Try having one of your own come in & slug you with a baseball bat around the back of the head.

The foam roller has turned out to be a better/safer option :lol:

And YES it did hurt when they did it.
