Time to go crazy on my lumbar, fed up with the thing now.
shouldn't be doing 410kg deadlifts then!

I have noticed during squats I get so far (just before parallel) and my lower back rounds. Any ideas on how to determine what is causing this? I don't know how to find out if it's tight hamstrings, hip mobility or something else.

Is it possible for you to get a vid of the side and back? Oh and some of you squatting too 
It could be anything from tight hamstrings, to poor lumbar control, poor ab control, bad stance, poor knee control or poor ankle mobility.
Which of these? Vids required.

Best ways to stretch the trap? Particularly the high part of the trap that goes to the neck and down?

Are these Rumble Rollers actually worth price vs a normal firm roller?
£40 seems quite dear for what it is!
Caporegime
Yes. While the firm rollers are good, the rumble ones can get in deeper due to the ridges etc.

Got my extra firm rumble roller few days ago, the pain! But it does work. (never used a roller before)
A rumble roller is next on my list of toys to get.
I just got two lacrosse balls to make a peanut, for some thoracic smashing. They feel a lot nicer to use than the hockey ball i've been using.
The hockey ball did the trick for the 'lie on ball, lift arm over head' thing though. The mobility in my left arm as improved a decent amount in the last few weeks.

postage at rogue fitness was starting to mount up when ordering from there i mean $10 to post 2 sets of bands jumps up to $20 just to add a couple of lacrosse balls, then jumps up a huge amount to $60+ when you add a rumble roller.
so i decided just to order the floss bands and x bands from rogue fitness and now everything else from amazon because postage is free from amazon and you can only get those bands from rogue fitness.
on amazon it costs the same to buy 6 lacrosse balls as it does 2, so gonna just get 6.
im gonna leave the rumble roller for now, i have a normal foam roller, which will do until i have money to throw at a decent rumble roller, their are cheap ones available at $15 but they are hollow with a cheap plastic tube in the middle which will crack under any real stress.
£85 ish for:
the book
set of 5 resistance bands 10-150 lbs
massage ball sock
6 lacrosse balls
compared to the uk it's like £45 just for the book, so a great deal there imo. i know you can just download the book in pdf form for free (piracy) but i want a hard copy. plus the pdf is very low quality picture wise, etc.

just get one of these

it's honestly not worth the time or hassle for me to send you them. i will either keep them or give some away to friend's and family who would use them, or to nephew's and nieces to play with.
