    Here is what I do. This may help with the confusion.

    Before workout:
    1. Capsule work with band (hip, ankle, shoulders). Banded hip opener sequence.
    2. Banded dynamic stretching for stiffness (ie. banded leg straightening where you touch end of range to address stiffness in the hamstring).

    After workout (immediately afterwards and later in the evening when possible):
    1. Smashing out muscles from workout. Immediately after workout.
    2. Smash whatever feels tight and your goat. (QL, psoas, adductors, glutes, etc)

    Hope this helps.

    What’s wrong with using a lacrosse ball? Or do you want something a bit larger like a baseball?

    I started with the Adidas Powerlift 2.0, but found them too stiff for anything other than lifting. If you are just going to lift then they work great!

    I switched to the Reebok lifters shortly after and I find them much more comfortable overall and lighter than the Adidas. The lifters also have more room in the toe box which I liked. For dedicated lifting shoes like you said either should work, but I can’t tell you which one will fit your feet better. I would recommend finding stores to try on the Lifters and Powerlift and pick the one that feels best.
