Foam rolling can really prevent ALOT of soreness, I always do it after my workout on leg day. When I don't do it, my legs are sore for almost an entire week.
My theory on why rolling one foot helps the other ankle is as follows: I have a broken right ankle, after multiple repeated injuries to my ankle post surgery, my left ankle has gotten worse and worse, as it is compensating more and more for my right side weakness and instability. Therefore, I would guess the opposite is true. As you improve one side of lower body (particularly the ankle area) you will likely improve strength, balance, and alignment thus relieving the other side of any undue stress caused by compensation.
well, i play volleyball, and we foamroll every time before practice combined with stretching... it really helps relax your muscles and I actually love it
YES, I had back problems and use this on my back, BIG DIFFERENCE. I have hardly no pain now, I do just 10 reps everyday, thats it! plus, it straightening the spine which is important. Best $24 Ive ever spent.
Worth to mention that the ONLY part of your body you SHOULDN'T foam roll is the LOWER BACK. Athlean-x has a video with the science behind this statement.
Definitely be cautious of rolling the lower back. If anyone is dealing with back pain, try targeting surrounding areas instead of directly on the lower back. Chances are the pain is caused by tightness in another area.
you read it all over the internet. i dont know exactly why, im not a physical therapist, bit it has something to to with that it has to be tight because its a stabilizer for the knee or something. Just dont ;P
Please do a video on multivitamins ! Can we get all the required vitamins and minerals through food alone ? Because I have read that the nutrients in fruits and vegetables have reduced over time.
Can you do a video on running. How to get faster and how to build endurance. And the pro and cons for if speed or endurance is better, I just want to hear some thoughts on the subject. I know both are important
Thanks for the foam roller video. I just started foam rolling in the morning before I do my isometric exercises. I'm aware there is no evidence of improve performance, but I do feel the muscles are better prepared for the isometric exercises. Do you have a video on isometric exercises?
Rolling sticks are so awesome for quick recovery because every time i finished a sprinting race during the track season i used to roll out and felt fresh and ready to go again! Once i finished a 400m that completely killed me, what sucked was that i could hardly move and had another race in a few minutes, i got my roller and rolled out, i felt great!! Like god i could do the 400 all over again lol, so yeah, im pretty sure their good for moments like those.
Was super sore this morning, did a quick full body foam roll + yoga/stretching(20 mins) and felt immediately better. Was able to go about my day. Skipped strength training tho, I’ll hit the weights tomorrow.
I know that temporarily increasing hamstring ROM by stretching or rolling just before squatting may hinder overall performance, but couldn't it also improve form in someone who's squats suffer from poor flexibility? Personally, my abysmal squat form seems to improve when I stretch or roll before I squat. I can keep my back straighter and stronger and reduce butt wink a fair amount. I don't quite know what it does to my intensity, but I hope it increases safety.
Foam rolling has been amazing for me... I've been suffering from major back pain for a few years constantly. One chiropractic alignment coupled and foam rolling techniques have almost completely eliminated my back pain and has changed my life. Your back pain might be from a different cause than mine and I would highly recommend seeing a chiropractor do decide what the problem is. For me, my hips were not in alignment and the entire right side of my body was way more tense than my left. I will always recommend this to anyone I meet.
Always roll, as static stretch, after exercise or shower/bathing. Muscle blood flow is increased and help improve flexibility. Also make sure if you static stretch, hold light to moderate stretch for a minimum of 30 seconds.
I highly recommend foam rolling. I do lots of manual labor. All warehouse work. Before I started to do it I would always have a tight painful back. Now I do it at home before I go to work and I've had no problems anymore. The worse the muscle is the more it hurts. So be aware of that. Very painful. However if you keep doing it a little bit daily the pain settles down and the muscles move better. Don't be discouraged.
it seems like soreness release might be caused by relative perception. if your leg hurts, banging your arm will make your leg hurt less maybe foam rolling streches the muscle, which would explain why it improves mobility. I'd be courious to see what foam rolling vs streches studies would show
I really enjoy the little stick roller I have, in my long distance training I used to get a lot of injuries, especially because I started very young, but after using it I've found the the rate of injury that I have gotten has decreased drastically. Like, last year I think I was only out for a few days out of the entire year and I train almost every day. A lot of it is improved form and strength I'm sure, but I credit much of this to my stick roller. As a long time distance runner, I would very much recommend it!
I have chronic exertional compartment syndrome, so I have to foam roll my calves before doing any sort of cardio, otherwise my fascia isn't loose enough to stretch to compensate for increased blood-flow. If I don't I can only run for about 1 minute at a time before the pain becomes unbearable and my calves start tingling from the pressure.
I usually foam roll a day after a body part was hit , feels great im usually sore as hell the day after and it reduces it id say by about 75-80% if you can foam roll after you hit legs you didn't train hard enough cause you should be beat.
Hey picturefit, I was asking about drinking water after gym as someone told me it is wrong to drink after gym, so can you please answer me, or better make a video about drinking water general before and during and after the gym and also during the day.
Is it more to do with a placebo effect, rubbing muscle area. For example if you knock your leg or arm, you instinctly rub the area quickly with your hand to ease the pain.
In short stretching sucks. Its painful and takes time that could be used to get a pump but foam rolling for 10 minutes before makes stretching WAY easier and less painful. Increased blood flow is always good and flexibility is improved. It is worth 10 minutes of your time a few days a week. Lacrosse balls are handy too to target smaller muscles and get out knots. I totally approve of foam rolling.
I've been watching your videos for a long time now, and you've probably done a video on this before, so I'm sorry if that is the case, but I was curious to know what the most efficient way an obese person can lose weight? For example, here are questions I ask myself. Should I cut my calories slowly or just go straight to my Caloric goal? For example, if I worked it out that I need to eat 1,600 Kcal a day to reach my goal weight, should I start from that amount or should I slowly reduce my caloric intake weekly, until I've reached my caloric goal. Should I be on Low Carb, High Carb or Carb Cycling? and should I be using Macro ratios? A lot of what I've seen seems to suggest Carb cycling to be the most efficient way to lose weight, but there seems to be a debate about Macro ratio's (if I'm saying that right), I've seen people argue that we shouldn't use Macro ratio's, instead calculate how much protein and fat I'll need based on body weight or goal weight and whatever is left I make up with carbs, while others suggest using a macro ratio like the following; HCarb Day - Carbs: 35% Protein: 45% Fat: 20% LCarb Day - Carbs: 20% Protein: 45% Fat: 35% What would be the best workout routine? For example, I understand that weight training with cardio is the best way to lose weight but should I be doing calisthenic, weights or machines? I believe I might be capable of doing the beginner calisthenics, the only thing I can't seem to do is pull ups, so I was debating whether or not to purchase free weights and start from there and work my way up. I see a lot of people online who provide great information on weight loss and workout routines but a lot of it is not focused on those struggling with obesity and more on those looking their "summer body". About me: I ended up obese because I focused more on work and less on my health, I kind of woke up one day and wondered how on earth I let this happen, I'm 29, 5ft 6" and weigh around, 240-246Lbs. I don't have the money to pay a personal trainer so I've been doing my own research, but my main worry is not doing this right and causing more harm to myself than good, I would like to be below 200Lbs before my 30th which is January 13th. Thanks for reading and sorry if I'm being a pain in the ass.
Hey PF, will you be covering any topics related to special gymwear such as 2xu that claim they can improve your performance and recovery in n out of the gym? Thanks!
Please do a video about nutrient absorption! There's so many youtubers doing crazy challenges (50000 calories challenge for example) and they stay lean! I understand that it's not their daily eating and they workout/are active but numbers don't ad up... Most of them say that the body doesn't absorb all the nutrients when so much food is consumed in a short period of time. Is it true? Thank you! Love your channel by the way ;) keep up the good work!
Is it good to do ha SUPER HARD workout of a short amount of time. Ex: I usually do 25 push ups and pull ups, 5 muscle ups, 20 dips, 50 crunches, 20 squats, and 1km of cycling(with a high pressure)(I rest 2 days a week), if I do every workout 5 or 4 times more for 2 weeks with no days off(100 push ups, pull ups, dips, squats, 20, muscle ups, 150 crunches, and 5km of cycling), what are the negative affects?
I have two old injuries on my upper back (strains) from boxing and they hurt from time to time when I wake up in the morning, not to mention a couple of relapses I had over the last 3 years. Do you think foam rolling will do any difference on that situation?
Thanks to all PF Patrons for voting for this video!
PictureFit hey picturefit does nofap have any proof in increasing testosterone and gains?
PictureFit could you pls do a video on Clenbutonal

The Health Nerd Dammit Mom, I told you not to come in here. I'm doing a video on why eggs are healthy.
The Health Nerd 😂😂
Foam rolling can really prevent ALOT of soreness, I always do it after my workout on leg day. When I don't do it, my legs are sore for almost an entire week.
Awesome!
I foam roll before every workout
After a workout don't foam roll if the the muscles are sore. It will result in slow muscle recovery
@@bsttraining343what?
@zojirushi1 Didn't he say to get the benefits you should do it after?
Haven't watched the video yet and I can tell, it's very worth it. I had a lot of experience with knee and back pain and it helped a lot.
I just wanted to say that watching your videos gave me the motivation to lose over 40 KG= almsot 100lbs of weight
Thanks picture fit !
every single time I foam roll I'm in less pain/tightness than I started with 😬 so foam roll for the win🙌🏿
Noice!
dang right

I'm just here to thank you for doing all the research that I'm too much of a lazy-ass to do myself.
it depends right?
😂

PictureFit what about rolling on IT band is it a good idea or a bad idea because I see a lot of argument about this statement
And you should NOT foamroll your IT band
Jan Rump Thank you but can you tell me the reason why?
you read it all over the internet. i dont know exactly why, im not a physical therapist, bit it has something to to with that it has to be tight because its a stabilizer for the knee or something. Just dont ;P
holy crap. Ive been subbed from when you had 10 k subs now you half almost half a million. god damn its nice to see a good channel grow
Thanks man! Glad you've stuck around for so long. Really appreciate it.
theeGAME360 I was here since 16k

Please do a video on multivitamins !
Can we get all the required vitamins and minerals through food alone ?
Because I have read that the nutrients in fruits and vegetables have reduced over time.
Look up Soylent, it's exactly what you might be looking for.
Answer: It depends
I was never this early UNTIL NOW!!!
😬😬
better mobility and improve sorness and recovery. So in long time PERFORMANCE will improve!! :)
Definitely!
Can you do a video on running. How to get faster and how to build endurance. And the pro and cons for if speed or endurance is better, I just want to hear some thoughts on the subject. I know both are important
Just go for a 5k jog my guy
Glad you are not biased and not promoting other paid brands in your videos
Thanks for the video! I've been struggling a bit with stretching properly and think this could be a nice alternative.
Thanks for the foam roller video. I just started foam rolling in the morning before I do my isometric exercises. I'm aware there is no evidence of improve performance, but I do feel the muscles are better prepared for the isometric exercises. Do you have a video on isometric exercises?

Liked the video very much. Just be careful of not use the terms "mobility" and "flexibility" cause they aren't. Keep it up man!

Nah I'm good. I only take my SMR with an A in front.
Oh boy.
Deadpool i dont get it
Conph... google asmr...
Conph watch theodd1sout on asmr he really explains it well
Zane Juilian *smacks lips*
Great Presentation, well done. Noel
Always great info! Thx PictureFit
Loved the video. Athlean-X also did a video awhile back about foam rolling, and explained the science behind it. Keep it up, guys!
I need this for my upper back after work.
I highly recommend foam rolling. I do lots of manual labor. All warehouse work. Before I started to do it I would always have a tight painful back.

I love foam rolling like I love my PictureFit 💙🙏🏽
very good. you saved me some research hours. thank you.
Can you Raw Milk v. Pasteurized and which is better? What are the benefits of raw milk an so on
Interesting. Is their a correct technique or do you just roll your leg up and down the roller?
which is better sprinting or jogging for muscle building?
IT DEPENDS!!!
I'm saying it now before he says it in the video
sonicoduh1125 Everyone knows that, but all who clicked on the video need to know what it depends on.

Can you do a video on Nausea after working out and how to avoid/maintain it? I struggle with it a lot :(
Get more fit
Nutrition and electrolytes. You may have imbalances in minerals. Or overtraining. Xx
nice video, you should make one about those multivitamins
Man they should teach how you teach in school
Mas A
teacher: today I will show u how to do 4 system equations
*on the board*
"It Depends"
I have chronic exertional compartment syndrome, so I have to foam roll my calves before doing any sort of cardio, otherwise my fascia isn't loose enough to stretch to compensate for increased blood-flow. If I don't I can only run for about 1 minute at a time before the pain becomes unbearable and my calves start tingling from the pressure.
Mobility, soreness, and recovery??? Sounds like a good thing to me! Definitely could use all of that.
Keep up the vids👍🏻 very helpful
Great job!
I know that after I started using a foam roller on my back and legs after hitting those areas I experienced a drastically lower amount of soreness.
Does one need soreness improved or reduced?
I usually foam roll a day after a body part was hit , feels great im usually sore as hell the day after and it reduces it id say by about 75-80% if you can foam roll after you hit legs you didn't train hard enough cause you should be beat.
Foam rolling is great there are no negative side effects
How often should I change my workout routine?
Hey picturefit, I was asking about drinking water after gym as someone told me it is wrong to drink after gym, so can you please answer me, or better make a video about drinking water general before and during and after the gym and also during the day.
Anyone telling you to not drink water after a hard workout is misinformed.
Thanks for informing me that.
Is it more to do with a placebo effect, rubbing muscle area. For example if you knock your leg or arm, you instinctly rub the area quickly with your hand to ease the pain.
Does this help clicking shoulder?
Bill Nye of the fitness community, instant sub.
People should really do this more to avoid trigger points from bad posture ect ect
would you make a video about how to fix rounded shoulder? it will help some of us :) thank you for your amazing content!
i use a rolling pin lol. works like a charm. my mom got it for like 4 bucks at a thrift store
Can you foam roll your back to relieve the tightness after sitting at a desk for a long time during the day? (provided no exercise is done that day)
can you do a video on whether its better to eat before or after excercise
In short stretching sucks. Its painful and takes time that could be used to get a pump but foam rolling for 10 minutes before makes stretching WAY easier and less painful. Increased blood flow is always good and flexibility is improved. It is worth 10 minutes of your time a few days a week. Lacrosse balls are handy too to target smaller muscles and get out knots.

Which is more important?
Number of steps, or how long you walk/run?

could you maybe make a video about what there is the recommend macros when bulking or cutting?
Brother your animation style is awesome please take us which software you are using? How you are making this animation?
What about gains BRO?? DOES IT HINDER IT if done after workouts
OVERALL IT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD :)
Can you do a video on cryotherapy
If you do a Anterior Pelvic Tilt video, then i'll start supporting you on Patreon!
I use the stick+roller during workouts if my body cramps up. I use it to get the blood flowing. Not sure if it actually works but i feel it helps.
Sounds like it's doing something!
GREAT vid!
Well, I have kyphosis so foam rolling my back before workout really helps for my backache.
I believe it can also help with blood flow
Hey PF, will you be covering any topics related to special gymwear such as 2xu that claim they can improve your performance and recovery in n out of the gym? Thanks!
I might cover some more out-of-the-box topics. I was thinking about addressing elevation masks.
Can you talk about thermogenic pre workout supplements ?
Please do a video about nutrient absorption! There's so many youtubers doing crazy challenges (50000 calories challenge for example) and they stay lean!

No research on the matter. Chances are those vloggers are not entirely honest about their numbers.
Best put, foam rolling won't help you squat more weight but it'll help you hit greater depth. This is a leg foam rolling example
Can you send me a Urine sample?
I... might have to pass on that.
you might have to "piss on that"
Jeff DaChef Oh my god 😂😂
Why ....
please do a video on hair combs. should i?
Should i foam roll immediately after my workout or should i wait for 10-15 minuttes
Thanks, I was really on the verge of buying a foam roller, but heard so much conflicting broscience I didn't until now
should i foam roll before or after my workout? or both?!?!
Valuable tool in the right hands..
Okay Mr. Picfit, what's your take on Insanity? i see so much speculation on it. Doesnt build muscle, just a cardio program et cetera. Thanks man.
Nothing beats a resistance training program for building muscle.
Picture Fit you're getting bigger bro! keep it up
A E S T H E T I C
Is it good to do ha SUPER HARD workout of a short amount of time.
Ex: I usually do 25 push ups and pull ups, 5 muscle ups, 20 dips, 50 crunches, 20 squats, and 1km of cycling(with a high pressure)(I rest 2 days a week), if I do every workout 5 or 4 times more for 2 weeks with no days off(100 push ups, pull ups, dips, squats, 20, muscle ups, 150 crunches, and 5km of cycling), what are the negative affects?
Question, Can gelatin make you gain weight?
Can you do a video on ACL prevention? So much out there, but somethimes im lost..
Game changer?
More like "Gain Changer"!
Ahhh, I love puns
I appreciate that one.
If you foam roll your nose will it help your ears? Please make a video on this.
I have two old injuries on my upper back (strains) from boxing and they hurt from time to time when I wake up in the morning, not to mention a couple of relapses I had over the last 3 years. Do you think foam rolling will do any difference on that situation?
How you feeling? It’s been 3 years but hope you’re good man!
Did calves resign from running ?
Hey can you make a video on warming up before the workout :)
