I foam roll now before treadmill workouts (especially if I've done squats recently), it helps VERY much. Thanks again Good stuff, a little twist on AMD, I like it.

I LOVE the idea of autoregulation and it is sooooo key. No question! The trick is to know WHEN to do WHAT. Without some form of testing, only advanced trainers (at best) can figure out which direction to go in and when. While perception can help, many times it will not lead you in the correct direction. I know we all have had days it was very hard to get to the gym, warmups were slow, but it turned into one of the best sessions ever. If you test, you can literally get a PR every session in the gym. Sure, their will be a few days when you are spent, but they will be extremely rare. Doing joint mobility drills between sets is key too. I am not as much of a fan of SMR since many people do it in pain and pain is bad for performance (in general). Rock on Mike T Nelson PhD(c) http://ExtremeHumanPerformance.com Hi there Smitty!

It has some good tips and workouts in there. I never thought to foam roll or SMR between sets might try that one out today. Thanks for the ebook. It has some good tips and workouts in there.
