@JPhysique I subscribe to your channel! That video was actually one of the ones that prompted me to start working on my ankle mobility.
Been doing a bunch of stuff and I think my ankle mobility is slowly but surely getting better. I'm taking a break from squats right now but I'll be sure to really get the ankle work in.

Bruh were you the same guy who injured his hip flexor and I chimed in?
Took me a month of no squats, then easing into it and just this morning I hit 225 for doubles. Build it up slow and do that "proposing on one knee" stretch, it helped me a ton.

What's a good stretch for your lower back?

Foam roll and stretch out your hamstrings which will then loosen up your back. Im a fan of sitting Indian style but one ankle on top of the other leg and then reaching forward, then I foam roll my lower back.

I thought it's not good to foam roll your lower back?

I've read that too, but sometimes I do it anyway :O
Something I've found useful for power back pain is hitting the piriformis with a lacrosse ball. It was really uncomfortable at first but it feels great now.

Yeah I heard foam rolling ain't good for your back either. Your body naturally locks its muscles around the spine whenever it's subjected to a stress like that

I mean, if somethings false then say so
I'll gladly be corrected if what I'm posting is incorrectI just know that the spine is very sensitive. Taking a foam roller to it ain't exactly the best idea. Especially for someone like me who's coming off back surgery

No, you're right. Not as much musculature in the lumbar region to protect the spine.I mean, if somethings false then say soI'll gladly be corrected if what I'm posting is incorrect
