WATCH:
Everyone seems to have a foam roller at home, but do they use them frequently enough?
We squat often so you should center quad roll.
We go overhead frequently so you should T-spine roll and side roll.
We pull weight from the ground all the time so you should roll out the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back.
If you can’t loosen the tension you carry you’ll always be at risk of injury. SO USE YOUR FOAM ROLLERS!

WATCH:
If you don’t possess awesome mobility in your fingers/hands/wrists/forearms/shoulders you may find that holding a barbell in the rack position leave your wrists sore and uncomfortable.
We can improve this position temporarily by keeping the hands open, bearing the bar onto the delts with the fingers preventing forward slippage.

WATCH:
Do you prefer to hang on bars with an open or closed grip?
A closed-grip activates your forearms for a stronger clasp on the bar, but because of that activation your grip gives out sooner.
An open grip is more comfortable (especially those with smaller hands), but doesn’t guarantee secure contact.
Depending on the exercise you might use one over the other!
IN-GYM WORKOUT for Wednesday 4/7/2021
10 rounds for time:
20 pushups
3 deadlifts, 60/103/145kg
Make these deadlifts heavy but doable. Double overhand until failure then you can mix your grip. Pushups don’t have to be hand-release, but it may help your pacing.
