[QUOTE="7thFloorRA, post: 515818, member: 3717"] There are 3 points that intrigue me in that mess. 1. Myofascial release. The Yankees about 10 years ago had a new strength program and their stretching was based on this concept and they basically each brought a foam roller out to the field and stretched........half the team pulled their hammies and he was fired during the season. I do not like this personally for stretching the hamstring. I like it for helping to relax muscles or trigger points that are firing when they shouldn't be. 2. Off season unsupervised workouts at personal "facilities". The players need to believe 100 percent in what the Packers are doing and what they are giving them to do in the off season. This is a year round plan and doing different things at home will screw with the overall plan. 3. Quad to Hamstring ratio. Recently front squating has become trendy and it hits the quads more than the hamstrings when compared to a back squat. If you have too much quad and not enough hamstring it messes up the natural balance. I think this might be the culprit. Full body exercises are very popular as well but I think they too tend to hit the quads a bit more. Keep building those hammies so they can stay in the proper ratio. [/QUOTE]
