Started workout with upper body mobility warmups. First, Squats w/ my stump straps then rest of the workout was more bodybuilding pump, tension and supersets.
Ended with foam rolling - Self Myo-fascial Release (certified). Tip: at the end of your workout foam rolling helps flush waste away from your muscles and work those tight spots (trigger points). Perform the rolls slow and focus the 2-3 inch roll on the tight (painful) spots. When I feel out of whack, I roll on my back.
