Foam Roller on legs

I have foam rolled. With regular sessions, I felt better for it. I really should get back to it.

I use a foam roller and lacrosse balls for helping relieve tension in various muscles. I like to roll my back and legs like they are dough before lifting (for only a minute or two) because it feels good. I get lots of "pops" out of my lower back doing this, and it seems that my legs feel better during my squat warmup doing this.

I do the same on my low back, only with a baseball. the foam roller/baseball combo is just a cheap version of deep tissue massage. i have previous injuries in my low back that make it soooo tight (probably scar tissue) and the pressure feels nice almost like im gonna have an orgasm

I like to warm up with the foam roller on top of a Bosu ball. Having to balance while doing it strengthens my fine muscles and, of course, muscle confusion. It's functional. If I have time I'll knock out a few sets of light curls in the squat rack to warm up fully.
