Yea, I've got the blue 'soft' roller at the moment, so wanted to trade up :cool:

I liked Freefaller's rumble roller when I used it

Isn't his the 2 foot long hard one?

LiE · 15 Jul 2013 at 11:12

I'm not sure, it took me by surprise so didn't get a good look.

Yup - it causes me to pass out sometimes

However, I've been told it hits the spot.

Was it in a dark alley and wearing a mask?

Uh.. That sounds lovely.

Looks like Rumble roller is looking promising at the moment, a pity about the price though.

are all the Mobility WOD links dead? The ones i've tried seem to be.

icecold · 17 Jul 2013 at 12:26

The ones that link directly to youtube should still work. It's pretty easy to search for what you're looking for on the new MWOD site.

For you, filter for "shoulder" and "thoracic spine".

Cheers matey.

Is MWOD Pro worth the sub or is there enough info on the free vids?

Sweet Jesus the lying on the ball thing isn't fun! I'm using a hockey ball, is that harder than a lacrosse ball or am I just being a wuss?!

Is the two balls taped together a worthwhile investment?

duvet77 · 17 Jul 2013 at 22:28

I wished it would roll away but it stayed put and caused great levels of discomfort! :mad:

duvet77 · 17 Jul 2013 at 22:42

I believe so.

Just tried it, and yep, all kinds of pain when my arm gets near my head. Ouch.

Free your scapula, free your mind.

So basically, you're putting the ball at a point between your scapula spine, and then just lifting your arm to your ear and back?

I recommend actually watching the video

And yes, it's meant to hurt.

duvet77 · 17 Jul 2013 at 23:05

I've got quite a big difference in mobility between left and right when doing these. Left arm is going nowhere near the floor or my ear.

We don't need to know about your sex live!

Just realised if you go to the end of the MWOD episode listings then they're all in order.

Just tried WOD #1 - 10 Minute Squat.

I wish you could swear on here because it's the only way to accurately describe how hard that was.

I had to hold on to the couch the whole time to stop myself from falling over backwards if I put my heels on the floor.

That's fine, in time you won't need to
