■ The reason you can’t seem to get stronger or add more muscle is rarely that you’re not training hard enough. More than likely it’s that your form is breaking down when the weight gets heavy. The solution? Use balls to improve your mobility. We like the specially designed mobility balls from Acumobility (acumobility.com), but lacrosse or tennis balls work, too, to help open up every muscle group. For example, here’s how to use them if your bench press is stuck, according to orthopedic acupuncturist and Acumobility CEO Brad Cox.
How to Do It
1. Place the balls on the floor so they fit on each side of your spine.
2. Grasp a light kettle bell with both hands and lie on your back, resting against the balls so they dig into your back, 8cm below your shoulder blades. Bend your knees 90 degrees. Hold the kettlebell above your chest.
