Hi everyone. I've followed GB on social media for years , but Tim Ferris' podcast with Coach Sommer convinced me to really start one of the stretching courses.
One of my new years resolutions was to be able to do a nice pancake. I usually need to sit on a foam roller to have a neutral spine when I practice them after a workout. So that's a movement I'd love to be able to do. However, I also have a decent butt wink when I squat and have had some lower back soreness for the past two months after adding a 20 minute row in twice a week.
My hamstrings and adductors are both tight, so I know I'd benefit from both series. However, I want to start gradually and only do one right now. My debit card thought that was a good idea, too. I was wondering which you'd recommend starting with? I'll copy my weekly workout schedule below to give you an idea about the type of activity I do, just in case it's relevant.
Thanks for your thoughts!

Tues - 20 minute row, 20-30 pull-ups
