Foam Rolling 101 - Advanced Foam Rolling


Foam rolling is an essential piece of every workout AND every off day when you dont go to the gym. You should be doing it everyday.
Why is Foam Rolling Important?

Excerpted from the ACS Manual (just one part of the AMD system) * Improve ROM (and subsequently execution of movement patterns) of a joint by lengthening and flattening scar tissue, removing adhesions (remodeling fascia), reducing tension / tightness and neurological inefficiencies * Use in conjunction with your static, dynamic, ballistic and PNF stretching protocols to improve muscle length, flexibility and mobility * Improved recovery and diminishing the effect of DOMS * Should be utilized along with other restorative soft-tissue therapies usually grouped as self-myofascial release (SMR): trigger point therapy (golf balls, tennis balls), trigger point therapy, active release technique (ART), the Stick

Have just performed my first SMR session on my newly arrived foam roller, thanks to smitty and the team at DieselCrew with this new video. Hurt like hell pretty much everywhere. Just rated 5 stars without a doubt. CHEERS SMITTY

[smittydiesel]

Awesome!

[angra000wns]

are those sambo shoes?

[smittydiesel]

Yes, they are, I love them.

For years I have been using a softball on my backs, hips and glutes. This is a really great video thanks for putting this up.

For those who are really sensitive, Chinese rubbing, shaking and grasping exercises usually Tui Na is the categorical name, self-massage will get the 'gun shyness' out of the muscles especially the IT band. Russian slapping works for many too, same science just different styles. The roller is the bomb and it can be used as interesting proprioceptive stressor for bodyweight training destabilization. That's gold, good on you, cheers!

Smitty, these vids you put out are fantastic and extremely helpful. I progressed from a soft white foam, to the hard black, and now PVC. Thanks!

@specializedstrength

it's a little bit more painful, but it's ok. I do it on pvc pipe also, hurts like hell.

[specializedstrength]

i bought a pvc pipe and i use that for my rolling, what do you think of the pvc pipe for rolling out?

[danmarmu]

Yes, it eventually will. If you keep doing it. If you only do it once a week though, it will never hurt less, do it once daily or every other day. Depending on soreness.

I would like to see a video on self-treatment trigger point therapy if you have familiarity with that. I find two tennis balls in a sock to be great for targeting specific adhesions and trigger points.

foam rolling the IT band hurts like HELL. Does it hurt less over time?
