Piriformis-SMR
Piriformis-SMR is a isolation stretching exercise using foam roll that trains the glutes.

Primary muscles: Glutes
How to do it
- Sit with your buttocks on top of a foam roll. Bend your knees, and then cross one leg so that the ankle is over the knee. This will be your starting position.
- Shift your weight to the side of the crossed leg, rolling over the buttocks until you feel tension in your upper glute. You may assist the stretch by using one hand to pull the bent knee towards your chest. Hold this position for 10-30 seconds, and then switch sides.
Track it with MyoAmigo
MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Piriformis-SMR from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Glutes volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
