They hurt like crazy to use... is this right??
Initially, yes.
too painful to use personally, even though i'm sure it'd be good for certain muscle groups
Okay, what've you done with Jamie?
That's almost a useful first post! So I just need to use them more?
[i]Initially, yes. [/i]
I think they always hurt like crazy, it's just that your pain threshold increases with repeated use...
MTFU.
HTH.
btw what are you talking about? 😉
Thanks C_G... I perversely enjoy the pain!
This...
Okay, what've you done with Jamie?
What can I say? I'm a morning person.
You picked a bike yet? There are literally hundreds of events to do....
I find the pain levels vary depending on how sore/tight/tired my muscles are. My quads are usually fine, IT bands usually hurt when using it.
Learn to love the pain, you are going to need to make friends with pain for the summer 😆
*is scared* 😆
It's that kind of pain that's quite, erm, 'nice'.
Like a vigorous sports massage that you can feel doing you good, even though your eyes are watering.
Me too, in a good sort of way 8)
Btw, if its really sore on the roller, support more of your bodyweight with your hands/arms and lean a little lighter on the roller...i've got OTT with the roller before and my legs hurt loads the next day, not in a good way either!
Ahhrghh my internet... this is the fourth post attempt!
Anyway here's the Eye of the Tiger..

It's going down this weekend. Spent a week testing several. Defy 2 I am thinking. Just order some bits and pieces, pedals/pump/tubes etc, at the mo.
Back to foam rollers I might need to get mine out later. Legs kill from doing squats yesterday....
