Although I love this, it needs to be worked up to as we feel less and less tension released.

Most guys think foam rolling should hurt.

It shouldn’t… at least not at first.

If you’re a bigger athlete with a lot of tissue, the goal isn’t to jump straight into crushing yourself with all your bodyweight. The superficial fascia and muscle layers have to adapt first. That takes time. Weeks. Sometimes months.

Start with controlled pressure. Let the tissue soften. Let the nervous system stop guarding.

Then gradually add overpressure.

That’s when the roller actually starts getting deep enough to matter for bigger bodies.

Too much pressure too early just makes you tighten up more and defeats the purpose.

Earn the pressure.

Build tolerance layer by layer, and eventually the work that used to feel impossible starts actually changing the tissue.

Patience beats brutality every time.

Did you know?

Most episodes of back discomfort are not caused by serious damage, but by reduced strength, limited mobility, and prolonged sitting. Research shows that regular movement and progressive strength training are among the most effective ways to support long-term back health.

The spine is designed to move, and it responds well to consistent, gradual loading.

That daily back crack isn't the relief that it feels like...you're actually reinforcing a hyper mobility that will worsen over time! We know it feels good, but what will make it feel better longterm is strengthening your thoracic spine and glutes to provide the stability your lower back needs.

Low back pain doesn’t always start in the low back.

Research from Shirley Sahrmann on extension-rotation syndrome shows how repeated movement patterns can overload the lumbar spine. When the hips don’t move well or the core can’t control rotation, the lower back becomes the place that takes the stress. Over time that repeated extension + rotation is what keeps people stuck in pain.

The solution isn’t endless stretching, back cracking or random core work.
It’s changing the movement pattern:

• Control rotation before adding load
• Get the hips moving so the spine doesn’t have to
• Train neutral spine under real strength work
• Stop feeding the same painful pattern every workout

Pain often isn’t a “weak back.”
It’s a back that’s doing a job the hips and trunk should be doing.

Fix the pattern → calm the pain, when you are out of pain you can train resilience. These pathetic quick fix posts will never get you longterm success.

Strong backs are built through consistent habits, not quick fixes.

Regular strength training that targets the core, hips, and posterior chain helps support spinal stability and load tolerance. Daily movement and frequent position changes reduce stiffness linked to prolonged sitting. Mobility work supports flexibility and joint health, while rotating between sitting, standing, and walking encourages balanced muscle use. Gradual progression in activity allows the spine and surrounding tissues to adapt safely over time.

Back health is about resilience, not restriction. Small, sustainable actions performed consistently create lasting support for movement and long-term function.

A friendly reminder that strengthening your glutes has more benefit than aesthetics! Strong, activated glutes take on muscular stress so your lower back doesn't need to. The result? Much less likelihood of developing back pain.

If you want to add glute engagement into your routine we recommend adding exercises like hip hinges, squats, and active pigeons!

Back discomfort doesn’t always come from lifting, it often comes from how lifting is done and how the body recovers between sessions. Recovery isn’t passive; it’s a strategic part of the process.

At RPM Physical Therapy, we help active individuals build spinal resilience through proper movement patterns, controlled loading, and recovery rhythms that support long-term strength.

Best Lifting Video I’ve seen in a Loooong Time!!

Hip hinging and sumo deadlifts aren’t just “glute exercises” or “back exercises.” They’re both.

When you hinge correctly and control your spine in a neutral position, you’re training your glutes to produce force while your spine learns to handle load safely. These don’t need to be separated.

The same exercise that grows your glutes can also protect your back.

The problem isn’t deadlifts. The problem is losing spinal control while chasing heavier weight or more muscle.

Your glutes are designed to take stress off your spine. But they can’t do their job if your spine is moving excessively under load.

Strong glutes + controlled spine = resilient back.

Don’t sacrifice your back thinking it’s the price you pay for muscle growth. Train both at the same time. That’s how you build strength that lasts.

Want to stop getting charley horses? Here's the 3 steps to solving them

1. Break up the tissue -- without this step, the next two steps won't work. In order to get that muscle to stop spasming, you need to break up those fibers and prep them to be relaxed. Use a mobility device, roller, or even ball to achieve this.

2. Get blood flow to the area -- people love to skip this step, but it's how we get the most out of step three. Calf raises are the perfect way to achieve this, just keep them slow and controlled.

3. Time to stretch -- now that the muscle is primed for a reset, it is time to stretch and lay those muscle fibers down in a better position. Use a lunge position against the wall to drive back into the calf. Switch sides every 30 seconds and try to get deeper into the stretch each time!

Worst video I’ve seen in awhile🤦🏽‍♂️

There’s been an explosion of shirtless “experts” on this app.

Somewhere along the way, big muscles became confused with big knowledge.

Just because someone is lean, vascular, and confident on camera doesn’t mean they understand pain, biomechanics, or how to actually fix a tight hip or chronic low back problem.

Muscle size is built by stressing tissue. Pain resolution is built by understanding tissue.

Those are not the same skill.

If the main draw of the video is their abs instead of their explanation, that should tell you everything you need to know.

Because real pain problems aren’t solved by copying random stretches they saw on another reel. They’re solved by identifying the actual mechanical failure in the system and restoring proper force distribution.

Not by guessing. Not by repeating buzzwords. And not by hoping you buy their template program.

Be careful who you take advice from.

A physique is proof they know how to train themselves.

It is not proof they know how to fix you.
