| 0:00.0 | What's good, everybody? This is the Renegade Strength Show. I am J. Faroujia here to help you |
| 0:10.1 | unleash your strong self. Like we've been doing for 500 plus episodes, like I've been |
| 0:13.7 | doing since 1994 when I kicked down the door in this business to break ground, to popularize |
| 0:20.0 | underground, warehouse style gyms, to popularize unconventional training methods, to start group |
| 0:26.4 | training as we know it today. That was what I did back in the 90s. And today, many, many |
| 0:33.9 | mere, many, many, many years later, we continue the tradition of bringing you all you need to |
| 0:41.6 | know to get jacked, to get strong, to get lean, to get fast, to get healthy. And I have questions |
| 0:48.5 | from you guys today that I'm going to answer. First up, I tweaked my back in the gym today. |
| 0:51.7 | What should I do? Stretch my hamstrings and lower back? No, that is the go to for most people, |
| 0:57.6 | but you don't want to do that. Most people say, Oh, your hamstrings are tight. You got to stretch |

| 1:26.3 | hip down your knee, two minutes back up. Then do a two minute couch stretch on that side. Do that |

| 1:36.0 | to be on the side of your hip there, side of your glutes, get it in there. If you can stretch |
| 1:41.0 | your piriformis and your glutes without rounding your lower back, then do that. We'll be good to go. |
| 1:47.0 | Get a rumble roller on your calves rumble roller. A rumble roller is the foam roller that's |
| 1:52.6 | kind of knobby and spiky. You want that for your calves. Get that in the back of your knee. |
| 1:56.6 | There's a muscle called your poplidius in the back of your knee where oftentimes if your low back |
| 2:00.5 | is lit up, your calves get lit up and you're in that area in the back of your knee. Your poplidius |
