Staying Tight
I never foam roll to be as loose as possible, because this creates problems on multiple levels. Once I started to rehabilitate my back, I learned to move better, and I stopped mindlessly rolling my entire body. The result? My pain level dropped immediately, and the changes were noticeable.
The problem with this part of the fitness industry is that people have no plan with rolling. They do it just to do it, or because the local CrossFit guy says to do it and they just don’t know any better.
Instead of going this direction, the idea is to come up with a plan. 10/20/Life contains a full chapter on warming up to stiffen your core and prepare to lift heavy. You can’t just “get loose,” because when you get loose, you get weak. Don’t think of yourself as a cat. Instead, you need to consider yourself a gorilla that needs a strong-ass core. What’s required for that are the movements that serve our chosen athletic endeavors, and nothing more. Building looseness and excessive range of motion (ROM) can easily lead to injury and loss of performance."
