Foam Rolling For Basketball with Coach Alan Stein

[@robelberhe3163]

I did a workout and it had me sore for a good 3 days. My buddy gave me his foam roller and told me to watch this video. I felt so much better after thanks coach

[@freshprince4508]

That’s a good freind

[@yajttenneb4854]

You should make sure you also roll slowly (think 2-3 secs up and 2-3 secs down) and breathe (breathe in when going up and out when going down or vice versa) during it too I think that also helps

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Thanks for add.

[@yajttenneb4854]

Your welcome

[@freshprince4508]

This is my go to every single day, I really recommend it

[@joshuafreed8190]

I appreciate the video. Keep on grinding. My brothers and I have been using the EGT Book and it really helps. Keep up the great work Alan

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Thanks. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@srirach7543]

The achilles is such a skinny but powerful tendon very very important to loosen up😁

[@matthieu955]

My first time foam rolling I thought I was being stabbed in the legs

[@yassers2382]

im bout to do it

[@ansjiksksjsh222]

Ong it was so painful when I was doing it but now I feel amazing 😂

[@bkkchu]

Isn't it really bad to roll like that on the IT band? I saw a video by athlean-x and he said to foam roll your TFL or something like that,

[@aayanakram1017]

@@bobtod7594 Over the years, i've learned he's not the most trustworthy guy

[@geromegacrama284]

[@jahmari9723]

Is it good to foam roll before a basketball game ?

[@francismtmoraltuazon2794]

When I can that Coach. Thanks

[@DeepGameBasketball]

We would advise you to foam roll on select days as your stretching routine but everyday as your post workout stretching routine

[@kevindibassinga]

Should this be done before warming up?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

I personally like to get the muscles warmed up a bit beforehand. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@paulkim1123]

I just started foam rolling and the IT Band one hurts so bad. If I can't do the IT Band yet, what should I do?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Talk with a trainer or a therapist if you can. It's tough to give that type of specific. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@tp5367]

Put one leg on the floor it will hurt less and then after a few weeks you can proceed on the harder version it worked for me

[@charismaswagg]

@Paul Kim #1, Suck it up and realize you're smoothing out the knots in your legs!!! *JESUS SAVES*

[@supra2k8]

you don't foam roll your IT Band, go watch an AthleanX video aka Jeff Cavalier, you'll understand why and what to do, I understand I'm 2 years late, but I hope it still helps

[@tonefromyoutube]

supra2k8 i’m gonna go check it out

[@boulderbulls9741]

Great Videos EGT

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Thank you.

[@djdmdmdmd4690]

Do you recommend the grid or grid x foam roller? Which one is better?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

It all depends on the person and their body.

[@uvafan1258]

Should I foam roll when I'm really sore? Will it help?

[@chrisrandomizer6159]

UvaFan12 yes it will help. What i do is foam roll and after that i stretch really well

[@leombmonteiro]

it's better use this after or before practice/game? Great work 🏀👌💪

[@DeepGameBasketball]

It all depends on your body. Some folks roll before to loosen up and some roll afterward. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@jordanjohnson6824]

Both, but if you only want to do it once, dynamic stretch routine before game, foam roll after.

[@siggietyrone3965]

No dislikes surprisingly.

[@NBAeverything17]

Can you guys do a video on drills that strengthen the ankle?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

I'll pass that along

[@djdmdmdmd4690]

How long per muscle do you recommend?

[@djdmdmdmd4690]

Foam roll each muscle for 10 min?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Ah. Each muscle 30 secs to 2 mins usually works.

[@potassiumk7954]

Hurts so much but its for the better

[@DeepGameBasketball]

No pain no gain as they say. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@djdmdmdmd4690]

What is a substitute for an ice bath?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Contrasting bath water, compression pant, stretching and massage are the main ones.

[@djdmdmdmd4690]

What do contrast showers do?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Help stimulate blood flow

[@djdmdmdmd4690]

How tight should compression pants be?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

That you still have unrestricted full range of motion without the pants feeling loose.

[@bastianmatiasfloresmoreno6917]

My face is not the same with this kind of exercises :B

[@djdmdmdmd4690]

I love the video, but when coach Alan says it helps exit lactic acid Idont believe that happens. Lactic acid exits the body 30 minutes after working out max

[@oprahslavenegroheadass1593]

Djdmd Mdmd he has a degree and years of experience do you

[@gigagiga3000]

Should you foam roll before a workout/game?

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Give it a shot but start slowly and see how your muscles respond.

[@jordanjohnson6824]

Yes, before and after

[@mikiyaehara4285]

This feels like torture.

[@mikiyaehara4285]

But works though so can't really complain.

[@DeepGameBasketball]

Exactly. They work. Not the most fun at times but the results (if done properly) are worth it. - Joe @ TeamEGT

[@brandonrondeel6408]

Don’t foam roll the IT band or any other tendons.

[@gooqlemaps_9833]

i don’t know who tf u think i am but i am not the rock

[@lucid9330]

Bro what? 😭😭😭💀💀💀
