Makes for excruciating pain. The IT band feels like it's a mile long when you're rolling it. I was almost in tears by the time I finished it.
 
yessir! welcome to the club. start rolling out your quads post leg workout...that hurts a bit too, but speeds recovery.

foam rolling that hurts:
lats
IT band
peroneals
ant. tib
quads

foam rolling that feels good:
upper and mid back (snap crackle and pop)

hehe.
 
Note to anyone that does this (and any type of massage or bodywork):

Drink LOTS of water. Shouldn't have to reinforce this to bodybuilders and strength athletes, but you will probably have to drink even more than you're accustomed to. I would have to look up the exact scientific reason why, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with flushing out all of the lactic acid and other toxins that are released.
 
I usually (or used to until my friend passed away) get 2 myofacial release massages per week.

I am not sure what foam roller you are talking about or refering to, but I can't imagine it possibly being as good as the real thing.

To me, having a myofac at the hands of my friend sort of resembled going through a car wreck in super slow motion.

Can someone post a link to the foam roller?

I agree that it's not better than having it done by a skilled therapist (in fact Myofascial Release is one of the courses I'm going to take), but you can do it alone and that's the important part.
 
I used to have one of those and loved it for help in aligning my spine. I had NO IDEA where I could get one though...

I'll be ordering one soon!!!
