Max Lang lifts and ROLLs - on his way to the Olympics!

Posted by Eefje van de Ven on May 20, 2016

To optimise his training, weight lifter Max Lang rolls out daily with BLACKROLL. Max Lang: "I mostly use the BLACKROLL PRO to release tensions in my upper legs; especially the tractus and quadriceps need much attention. For my body, I like to use the harder versions of the BLACKROLL. My back also gets a nice treatment with BLACKROLL. For this part of my body I like to roll with the BLACKROLL DuoBall on the wall, as this offers a more targeted massage. I daily roll 1-2 times, before and after training". Max is active on social media! Check out his Facebook page, or Youtube channel....
