Before you stretch

[30something]

This is something I found helpful.
NO I AM NOT SELLING ANYTHING - I JUST WANT TO HELP AS I HAVE BEEN HELPED.
Before I stretch and I after warmup I do "Self-Myofascial Release" which my chiropractor recommended to me.
It basically is a self massage that uses a foam roller or ball and your own body weight.

I find that if I do this before I stretch I am able to get a lot deeper into my stretches.

SURE!
sure, you can use rolled up towels, but self myofascial release is a good technique. for example for lowering the resting tension in your quadrizeps, which can be very beneficial if you suffer from jumpers knee

I really hate 30something.

[30something]

Thanks Dobi - it is nice to find some intelligence here...

"I hate" little punks who hide behind their monitors - hundreds of miles away and talk trash knowing that if they were face 2 face they would keep quiet or get their face beat in.

And Moderators shouldn't anyone who posts porn be banned?

You are such a jackass. Hiding behind their monitors? What in the hell do you think you are doing?

Yeah. See, we have to hide behind our monitors in order to type on teh internetz.


On a side note, it may help you with your sretching, but you will get better results by not using it and stretching without it.

But then again, if it helps you, and you do gain flexibility using it, use it.

foam rolling is not primary for stretching it's for overall tissue health. and it's a good thing.
if bet my avatar, that even juji does soft tussue work. and in this forum it seems like when juji does is, it MUST be good :wink:

[tuareg]

Yeah, i figured that out right after i went through the link, wich was after i posted haha. But yeah. I dont have similar problems, but if it helps you :good: .

[30something]

Either use the release techniques or don't - you choose.
If Juji said to use a foam roller then you would without thought.

Because most of you are on his nutz badly.

[saunders_v2]

too bad you missed my beautiful post 30something, you should have visited this thread before it got edited lolol

[TKD_Andy]

haha WIN! :trophy:

[Birch]

i just said "ooooh shit Andy" when you posted that up, knowing someone unwillingly was about to walk into it
+10 to you sir

[short gorilla]

Yeah, because we all do everything Juji tells us to. We all follow his stretching routine to the letter religiously. We all grew our hair out and curled it so we would look just like him too. How fucking dense are you? You make a lot of assinign assumptions for a 30 year old virgin.

[30something]

whoa - awful defensive aren't we "short".
your may not be on juji's nutz but as a little stubby nurses aid I'm sure you been cleaning some cleaning some old guys nutz lately

one assumption was correct - punks who hide behind their computers and talk junk...

The the whole purpose of this thread was help people with something that helped me.

Enough of wasting my precious (non-nursing aid) time with idiots like you.

[PaRaSiTe_X92]

Actually, short is one of the "real" guys. He really is all he makes himself to be...And he's scary. He's not some fat spotty nerd behind a PC screen. :wink:

[short gorilla]

Hmmmm.... okay, that makes sense. Make fun of my job. Ouch. You burned me. Except for the fact that 1) I don't do that anymore and haven't bothered to update my profile since only pricks like you actually read it, and 2) I had that job because I'm a biomedical sciences major and it looks good on a resume. But no, go ahead and make fun of me for it. I'll bet you had some shit jobs while you were in college too, if you even went. Dumbass.

And I like how you reiterate your idea of "punks who hide behind their computers and talk junk." Mostly I like that one because you are doing the same damned thing yourself, genius.

Do you even have a job? Do/did you go to college? I'll bet you still live in your mom's basement you fucking failure of a man. She probably does all your laundry for you, folds your cloths, and cooks your fucking waffles every morning "Just the way you like it."

I wasn't being defensive, I just didn't like you. Now you've directly attacked me, so I'm not only being defensive, but I hate you. I'm sure that "you could care less about what some punk on the internet thinks about you," but then again you're the 31 year old success story that's keeping this shit going.

[Skippy]

Ouchhh Short Gorilla, I think that rightfully makes you an arsonist. Good job putting him in the burn ward.

[30something]

whatever

Probably the best response I've ever gotten to a post like that.

[thaeds]

punks who hide behind their computers and talk junk...
How the fuck am I supposed to talk junk here without hiding behind my computer!

If Juji said to use a foam roller then you would without thought.

I wish I could get on his nutz unfortunately he insists on posting while hiding behind his computer. What a punk!

[Ashtar]

Chiropractise: because subluxations are too good for science.

[Graber]

Hmm Before I stretch for the Front SPlit I do worm up and also after I wake up front he bed I feel is better like this, in the past I was not doing worm up before stretching.

[TKD_Andy]

[Kimimaro]

Hmm...I can only imagine what TT would be like 10 years from now. Haha

[short gorilla]

Why the fuck did you bump this shit thread?

[Ashtar]

I just realized it was said that a foam roller is the equivilent to a rolled-up towel. It's just not.
