d. Foam roller is awesome for sorting my legs out altohugh it can get a bit emotional!

yeah i used to use a foam roller before and i wanted to cry lol

Do you use one at the gym or have your own? Looking at buying one but they seem to range from <£10 to £50+!

Rumble roller is the only way to go

I was training with a personal trainer before, and they had the roller's at the gym.

Ever since I changed the gym (PT was too expensive), there is no more roller.

Can anyone suggest some stretching exercises to improve mobility that I should do after every workout that work nicely with stronglifts?

Thanks

There are a boatload of them in the Mobility thread.

Check it out (link is in the OP of the GymRats thread) and benefit!

another workout yesterday

Squat
1x10 - 20kg warmup
1x5 - 35kg warmup
1x5 - 45kg warmup
5x5 - 52.5kg

OHP
1x10 - 20kg warmup
5x5 - 30kg

Deadlift
1x5 - 60kg warmup
1x5 - 80kg

Squats were ok
OHP was almost impossible. I really struggled on the first 4 sets. 5th one was ok for some reason.
Deadlift the warmup felt easy. But when I came to do the 80kg one it was really hard.

Managed to do everything, but don't know how long i will keep increasing before stopping (OHP and Deadlift).

back to the gym yesterday after 2 and a half weeks break (a week abroad and a week sick and still am )

The app suggested to deload by 20% to avoid soreness, but I just decided to continue normally.

Squat
1x5 - 20kg warmup
1x3 - 30kg warmup
1x3 - 40kg warmup
5x5 - 55kg

Bench Press
1x5 - 20kg warmup
1x5 - 25kg warmup
5x5 - 32.5kg

Barbell Rows
1x5 - 30kg warmup
5x5 - 42.5kg

Everything felt great and not too difficult! It's good to be back!

i was pretty sick yesterday evening, but decided to go to the gym anyway...

The power rack was taken for over 30 mins... so i've decided to skip it and only did 30 mins of running...

My legs are still very sore after monday's workout... Hopefully they will be better for tomorrow!
