Thanks fellas.

In other news, I used a "Tiger Tail" last night for the first time. Gonna have to get me one of those at some point. For the time being foam roller + lacrosse ball works great but the roller is, um, kind of hard to carry around. I continue to love my gym. Cool people all around.

How does the tiger tail compare to the foam roller in terms of efficacy?

From my ten minutes or so messing with the thing, it has pluses and minuses.

Pluses: you can really control where you're applying pressure and how much pressure you're applying; it's portable
Minuses: it's awkward to reach and apply enough pressure to some places (hamstrings, for example) because of the angle you have to work with

The upshot is that it seems like a really useful tool with some limitations.

Thanks. Looks promising for travel.

For home use, do you prefer the foam roller or the tiger tail, or is each tool superior to the other for certain areas?

Foam roller superior for hamstrings, ITB, glutes and back. Tiger tail superior for quads and lower legs. Sitting or lying with the foam roller close to COG is easy, sitting or lying with it farther away is harder. Quads are probably a wash, actually, now that I think about it. But for lower legs, Tiger Tail ftw.

Today:

Practice x2 hours. Ran all drills, was throwing pretty well, ankle felt solid. Didn't scrimmage at the end until the very end when people were leaving and I just went in in sneakers and jogged. Warm body. Upshot: I'm slow as crap and out of shape but I can do this.  :)

Then

warm up
shoot hoops x10 mins
mobility

work
bench 5x185, 3x195, 5x205 -- should have gotten more but after practice... I'm not too pissed
DB row 3x10x60/ea

cool down
stretch

Soreness in quads (I think from foam rolling), hamstrings and shins/ankles/feet (I think from practice).

Testing today after work:

The good:

trap bar DL 370

The bad:

everything else. Among other things:

bench 235 -- fuck that noise that is pathetic
fucked my hip up doing sprints and it wasn't even over a measured distance, just one I can go back to later (marked on sidewalk)
couldn't jump cause no mat and forgot camera

In other words, other than the DL, which was okay, EPIC MOTHERFUCKING FAIL.

How's that for depressing, zgin? I fucking suck.

Thanks adarq. On reflecting this morning, I think I was probably a bit too hard on myself. Work was stressful yesterday and I was there late and I should have been more patient with stuff. All I really had yesterday were trap bar and bench. So I should have stuck with that and saved the other stuff for Wednesday. Hip is just tweaked: still feeling it this morning but it was loosening up and feeling better with each step on the walk to work. So that's good.

And hey, 370 is pretty nice considering I was a full-on gimp two months ago.  :)

i use a barbell (noweights) for trigger points, the weight of it alone is enough pressure. sittin down rollin it over the quads, it really goes deep.

kneelin down i roll it over the calfs, found sum deep soleus ones that i hadnt found before with that. soleus is an importnat one kuz of its role in circulating teh blood back up the body

the one tool that everyone should have is a golf ball, its good for the whole body, head to toe, especially the feet, and tension in the feet can lead all the way up the leg. its good for the piriformis, deep in ur butt, another important one kuz if thats tight it can compress the sciatic nerve causing tightness in hamstrings.


PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY xD

i hav this in pdf if any1 is interested, i can hook u up

PoPe, LBSS has posted in his log numerous times about trigger point therapy and similar self massage methods.
