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.

Couple of things:

!) What's an elbow-out DB row? Why is your elbow out?
@) Hiking FTMFW, that sounds like so much fun. At some point in my life I want to live where there are mountains that high, that easily accessible. East Coast has some nice hills and a couple of sort-of-real mountains but they're far away.
#) How are you figuring kcal?

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.

Willing to bet that if he decided to practice -- and avoided drug tests -- he could shoot for Rezazadeh's C&J record. He could definitely clean that 245 if he wanted, just based on how easily he was picking it up.

Basketball / Re: Scottie Pippen - underrated dunker

I cannot comment on how well rated he is, but those were some sick dunks, for a fool of a Took, that is.

By underrated I mean that no one talks about Scottie Pippen as a great dunker cause he never won any contests or anything. But as an in-game dunker he was a god damn menace.

And even when he was in contests, he got fucked over by the judges. Case in point, this filthy free-throw-line jam from the 1990 Slam Dunk Contest did not get a 50, while Jordan's more stylish and more famous but shorter dunk did:

That's awesome.

While we're being obnoxious about grammar and spelling, you also forgot to put a comma before "too."

Perhaps you should do the pullups, rows and pushups before the endurance test?



Yeah I meant for it to come last. Good point.

Okay, here's the plan for the next week.

Today: ankle rehab, trap bar DL, BSS, jump rope, metcon/core
Friday: rest
Saturday: ankle rehab, bench, BOR, jump rope, metcon/core; practice
Sunday: rest
Monday: test SVJ, DLRVJ, 20yd and 40yd dash, trap bar DL, bench
Tuesday: rest
Wednesday: beep test, max pullups, max inv rows in 60s, max pushups in 60s

Between now and then, I need to get my hands on a beep test (someone at my gym has it) and figure out how I'm going to time the dashes. If I can't do the beep test, I'm going to do a 2000m rowing test. Fast as possible. Either way, it will suck.
