AKA the great reset Member 4056, 5209 posts | Do any of you guys foam roll? Is it worth investing in a good one? To be honest I have rarley used one. I would be interested to hear any of your thoughts on these and if they help much with flexibilty and recovery. Cheers. | ||

Unless you're a multi million dollar athlete on the cusp of major acute muscle injury, of course. | ||

Unless you're a multi million dollar athlete on the cusp of major acute muscle injury, of course. Not sure you need to be a multi million dollar athlete to spend £20 on a foam roller or £40-50 on a rumble roller? | ||

![]() Still got a little bit of strength Member 400, 22367 posts | I don't use one Adam. I don't do half of the stuff people on here do. If I felt the need to roll around on the floor I'd probably use a rolled up Argos catalogue tightly wrapped in duct tape. | ||

If I felt the need to roll around on the floor I'd probably use a rolled up Argos catalogue tightly wrapped in duct tape. I'm the same mate. I do very little stretching or mobility if I'm being honest. I have great flexibilty but weak as pish, so perhaps should try and spend more time doing some recovery work | ||
