Thanks for the advice in this thread, I've added some of these foam roller moves to my post workout plan. Also, I have (working with a PT) added sumo style DL to my workout. My PT would not "train" me in conventional DL - he was firm that my hip imbalance was too extreme to work around. However, after a lot of work on pure form and lifting light weights - I have managed to Sumo DL my body weight (185lbs.) I guess my point here is that once I checked my ego, went back to an empty oly bar, great form and practice - I found a substitute.
