String 4 or 5 of them on a length of bungee cord. Your entire back and shoulder girdle will love you for it. Can also be used on the quads and hammies and calves. I noticed that as I get older, I appreciate this stuff. The university kids can't be bothered with this stuff. They still think that they are indestructable and invincable.

Brilliant!
An idea that will be ignored by everyone under the age of thirty, but will keep the rest of us training well...
I'll make one tomorrow.
Thanks, Thomas.

I don't know how big you
I don't know how big you are, but if you're over 200 lb. and have lots of muscle mass, you might want to use softballs. 200lb. will squash the tennis balls.
Also drill a 1/4" hole in a golf ball and rig it on a heavy wire handle. Great for those hard to get areas, like the hip flexors and under the shoulder blade and pecs.
With age comes wisdom.

I'm a middleweight... about 165-170 without a great deal of muscle mass - I used to be a distance runner, so powerlifting is a big departure from that.
Tennis balls will do for me, I've got a suitable rope and just need some cheap tennis balls. I used to play a bit, and I'm not cutting up the good ones...
Thanks Thomas

foam rolling
I use a lacrosse ball and a 4 inch diameter piece of pvc pipe instead of foam roller, more aggressive. and like what was said, no one under 30 would do this, ha ha.

Just turned 43 and spend
Just turned 43 and spend about an equal time prehabing as actual training. Rolling and general myofascial work (use a foam roller, sprinter stick, knobble II, and medicine ball) makes all the difference. Limits nagging injuries big time.

haha, screw that! I'm not old until I'm past my peak. I'm still getting better, so it's onward and upward.

Wasn't Doc like 43 when he squatted the world?
deadlifts
Did some deadlifting yesterday. Used my various tennis ball creations before the session, between the sets, afterwards and during the evening ... and ... feel FINE today. Hardly any stiffness at all, and can't remember EVER feeling like that the day after a set of deads.
Worth the effort.

Mutsanah - I think Doc was 45 when he made the 1014.

You are old when you use the bar to hold you up instead of you holding the bar up.
At 50 I see no end in sight
I have been using a foam
I have been using a foam roller and a tee ball for the small areas. However, I must say that you guys are generous. I do not think anyone under 35 care about warming up or pre-hab. But, what really cracks me up is that for some reason I tend to keep a nagging injury even though I am doing the warm-up, stretching, etc. However, I guess it would be worse if I wasn't doing these things.
Getting old is good and I love it but sometimes it sucks.
