Is foam rolling a meme?
Also I tried to roll like in the pic and it hurt like fuck. How do I know I'm not doing any damage?
not a meme
shit is legit as fuck
the more it hurts the more you needed to do it in the first place. Just prop yourself up better to lighten your load

its supposed to hurt at first, especially ur quads and hamstrings. try to relax you muscles as much as possible while doing it as if you're letting the foam roller mold your muscles like dough.
foam rolling is god. i do it every night.
>"are things I am ignorant about/too stupid to understand a meme?"

Why are half of the fucking links in the sticky including the foam rolling link dead?
How can anybody take /fit/ seriously.

You wanna know what's a meme? Asking if something is a meme.

The problem with foam rollers is that they're all the same diameter, even if there is different foam densities used to make them. If you're a skinny little girl like in your pic and weigh all of 100 pounds soaking wet, then the small cross-section of contact isn't much of a problem, but if you're a full-grown adult male, especially with higher than average lean muscle mass, then that tiny contact area means it hurts like hell, and may even be damaging you. Really they need to have larger diameter foam rollers for people who are not little cardiobunny girls, but they don't. The best you can do is prop yourself up so you reduce the overall pressure on that contact point.

>a foam roller can damage you
I'm a massive dude and this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

consider the following .jpg
Try taking a bunch of tennis balls and see if the pressure would be the same.
Now, next time you decide to post something stupid, please just don't
foam rolling doesn't do shit.

BS. It stopped feeling uncomfortable after a couple of weeks. Your muscles and nerves just need to get used to it and need to lose tension.
It helped reducing my lower back pain immensely.

No, it's a real thing that people do. It's not just something people quote on the Internet to be funny.
