Should I get a foam roller? Y/N?

You don't need a foam roller, just some flat ground.
>>
>>34977338
You should, foam rolling helps prevent the worst quad, ham, and lower back DOMS, and most importantly: calf DOMS, they are so fucking bad for me normally, but after foam rolling I barely even get them.

foam rolling is way more useful than stretching, unless you have a specific flexibility need for some sport or something

I had pic related and it tore at the sides after a few months. Also this guy from work said he made one from pvc pipe and tape, I think the directions are in the sticky.

my squat and rdl roms increased by 30-40% thanks to stretching

>>>>34980236

I have this one >>34980308 but honestly it doesn't really matter, they all do the same thing. Just get one that you can comfortably cover the entire width of your leg with and has a decent diameter. But keep in mind that some of the ones made of actual foam will start to deform a bit after a long time of use.

Also think about getting a lacrosse ball. They're cheap and you can do the same thing as a foam roller with it only you can get into smaller spaces like the piriformis and peroneals.

Seriously quads are a bitch to stretch. I have yet to find a stretch exercise that actually gives mine the stretch they need. Foam rolling has been amazing for them.

Why don't you buy a 13" black dildo aswell and use it to stretch out your asshole, faggot.
>>
How big does it need to be? There's ones that are 12, 18, and 36 inch on amazon. Do I really need to drop $35 on the 36 inch or will I be fine with 12?
>>
>>34983274
Because I already bought one to roll my calves, silly.
