Does anybody foam roll?
Anyone know where to get?
Any direct benefits to your training or physique for those who foamed rolled?
I used to do it track/sprinting and it was really helpful for that, but have yet to use it for bodybuilding.
I got mine from FiT Malaysia. RM150, expensive.
Alternatively, you could DIY one yourself.
http://www.newenglandoutside.com/2012/10/h...nder-15-in.html Benefits mentioned on the web:1. Correction of muscle imbalances
2. Muscle relaxation
3. Improved joint range of motion
4. Improved neuromuscular efficiency
5. Reduced soreness and improved tissue recovery
6. Suppression/reduction of trigger point sensitivity and pain
7. Decreased neuromuscular hypertonicity
8. Provide optimal length-tension relationships
9. Decrease the overall effects of stress on the human movement system
Benefits I personally experienced:Improved joint range of motion (deeper squats, improved form on deads)
Muscle relaxation (less tightness in muscles)
