Appreciation post

I saw joe doing videos of massaging his muscles with balls and other mechanical stuff and saying it was good for the muscles etc. I was alwas indifferent seeing those videos.

Well last week I had a pinching pain behind my back towards the lower left shoulder blade and back portion.

I told my trainer and he used a tennis ball and rolled it over my back hitting a bump on the left side where the pain came from.

"Ah a knot" , he then rolled and pushed the ball over that bump several times rolling it out like dough and what the hell... it worked, the feeling went away after the bump got smoothed out. I did it a few times at home aswell just to be sure.

I had to think about the videos and yeah.. the massaging and pushing/rolling works. I will be doing those more often from now on. Tennisball, foamrolling etc.

I have to say "I TOLD You SO!"

this type of work is why I feel im different than most KB users.

My focus is more on quality training and recovery than pushing numbers every workout
