I have this 30 dollar walmart foam roller 18 inches. And it is okay, but It is kind of soft, I was wondering, are there better foam rollers? What is the best one for the price? Is it the harder the better? Any foam rolling success stories?
>>36669737
get a pvc pipe.
>>36669737
I have this and it hurts, but it also works. I get quad cramps during OHP sometimes and rolling them out stops it.
I use a hard plastic boccia ball for smaller areas like glutes if I wanna really get in there.
>>36669748
Or he can just get the next level foam roller, the black one which is meant for rolling. not a fucking pvc pipe.
>>36669821
He should get the black one for 11 bucks on amazon, fuck those things you posted.
Amazon basics foam roller, under $20 and very firm

Fucking consumerist faggot, this doubles as a two use foam roller.
You use the foam, then once your pussy legs start pumping 3 plate, you'll need some more pressure, so you strip the foam.
The fact that you need to spend 30 or more dollars on a rehab to look pretty just makes me know youre one of those faggots who spends more on gym clothes and make up than your routine.
Keep repping 95 lb squats faggot

Nobody asked but for those who don't know, Heres some info. When using these shits you don't simply roll up and down, find spots that hurts, tense muscles and sit on em. Put as much if your body weight as you can bear on that one spot. Once the muscles relax move around and find a new tense spot. Every part of your body can be massaged with this thing, as long as it's not directly on a joint or bone like your shoulder blade it's fair game. You can also use a lacrosse ball to pinpoint trouble spots even better, or for your feet. Golf balls as well, but I prefer to only use a golf ball for the soles of my feet. That's how I was trained to use these damn things, and while rolling around feels nice, actually get that sports-massage-esqe thing going on by holding it in tight spots is what will really help you out
>>36669929
You should fuck off. At least give a reason why I shouldn't buy this one
>>36670013
I remember being poor and angry. It's cool.
I pay a trainer too. Does this anger you?
My right trap has been bugging me for a week and it's giving me headaches up the back of my neck.
Should I buy a foam roller or wtf do I do?
>>36670046
Yeah you have to try not to tense the muscle and let your body sink into the spot that hurts and keep breathing. It can be REALLY painful, but it will feel better afterwards. I like to "warm up" a bit by rolling back and forth at a medium speed before I start slowing down. I feel like it wakes up the area so I can find spots more easily. Maybe it's broscience, but I like doing it.
>>36670089
Foam rolling a trap is a bitch, but doable. Honestly, I'd talk someone into giving me a massage.

A ball works better for that area.
>>36670076
not OP but
>paying for a trainer
>for shit you can do on your own
it's like people like you choose to be retarded
>>36670266
Mostly I just like to get a week of sessions every few months when I want to change up my routine.
It keeps me motivated. To each their own.
Op here, so I am hearing different things. I have the blue one which is medium, white is soft and black is hard. Should I spend the 12 bucks plus shipping for the hard one? I'm a weakling and can't lift much because of injuries in my knee and my shoulder so I just want something to maybe help fix me up
>tfw no insurance
>>36670378
The weaker you are, the softer you can go. As you get more and more muscle, you'll need harder rollers to penetrate. You're probably fine.
I have a hamstring strain and cant play soccer for a few weeks. Would one of these help my recovery time?
>>36669999
cork foamroller
doesnt ever sink in since its 100% all cork, no core
>>36670076
Lol nice trolling. Seriously, though, I have no idea why anyone would use a trainer. I guess to check your form, give a spot.
>>36670440
I feel like the blue isn't enough though
>>36672080
Honestly, just for routine advice. My gym throws in a free metabolism check with it as well. it's not a bad deal, and what else am I going to spend my money on? All I do is workout, work and sleep.
After hurting my shoulder I got really bad kyphosis posture so I got one of these spine ball things. This + foam roller crunches and my spine is strong as fuck. I recommend this if anyone has posture issues.

Oh that's cool
>>36669906
Can anyone else vouch for this?
>>36672923
i can vouch for this>>36669954
>>36672260
you're not foamrolling your lower back with that thing are you?
I broke my foam roller.
It's got a crack in the plastic on one side.
Tried superglue, held for a few minutes.
Wat do?
I'm more of a DIY guy so buying a new one is my last resort.
>>36673426
BUY FUCKING THIS
>>36669954
>>36669737
I use pvc pipe with duct tape for grip. Hurts like a bitch, but feels so good
>>36673426
duct tape ftw
>>36673164
Idk where id find a cork thing, and ive had the blue one so going to a cork might injure me.
>>36673720
This is dangerous you idiot, use a actual foam roller like the one I posted up here.
>>36669906
>>36669906
>8 dollars shipping
Why is this 8 bucks shipping for an 11 dollar item?
Home Depot or Lowes sells a precut 6" x 2.5' PVC pipe for like $8. Just go to the pipe stacks there should be a pile of them.
>>36677592
Are those safe? I know they are thin, idk if that will do the trick.
Hey guys, so I have this foam roller, and a ball for tighter spots. My question to all of you enlightened ones is: How do I target my glutes without feeling a tingling sensation and a warming in my loins? Legit asking here. I cannot foam roll my booty because it tickles and makes me giggle.
>>36677927
They are probably a lot stronger than most commercial foam roller you can buy. In fact I'm pretty sure all the expensive hallow rollers are just colored PVC with padding.
>>36678537
Do any famous youtubers who are credible use them?
>>36678713
no because pvc pipes are dangerous
>he doesn't regenerate after every workout
What are you, old?
