    Foam Roll

    Hello,

    I'm a new member to this site and I happened to stumble upon the article on the foam roll. I just wanted to add that the foam roll has been my best friend for 7 years now!!! I HIGHLY recommend it as well. Back squatting, cleans and snatches are the major exercises in my training. At times, my I-T bands get extremely tight and it is difficult to attempt even a body weight squat. I've found that rolling on the foam roll after training sessions keeps my I-T band loose and ready to go. I'm sure to do it on days that I squat. It can be extremely painful if you are really tight, but go easy, give it some time and it will loosen up. I roll for a minute or so on one leg, switch to the other and then repeat 2 more times. I also spend a lot of time stretching. Best bet is to keep everything healthy and functioning properly (yah, in a perfect world, right). As a seasoned, world-class athlete, I've learned that we do have more control over our bodies than we think. So do what I do - take the time to listen to your body what you can do to head off anything that might keep you from doing what is important – TRAINING!! Tight I-T bands happen to be the thorn in my side. Thank goodness for the foam roll.

    Are you talking about a dinner roll made out of foam?
    Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
    not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
    and drag down the features of age,
    no folds or creases from unkempt wear
    eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
    no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
    but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

    I love the foam roller. After physical therapy for a sublexed knee cap I have never stopped using mine.

    You should get out more, people make better friends than a piece of styrofoam.

    Actually, that may not be entirely true, foam rolls will rarely annoy you and never want to talk about stuff.

    I s'pose if you drew a face on the styrofoam and called him foamy it may be a pretty sweet friend.

    This post was specifically typed in non-block text so that Todd would read it.

    I hope you like it Todd.

    I put a lot of work into it.
