Question on foam rolling. So I know that rolling helps relieve muscle soreness, pains or tightness, can help ROM and improve blood flow. But I have been getting mixed advice on the specifics. Which of these do you stick by for foam rolling?
a) full body before every workout, along with your warmup
b) full body after every workout, together with your stretching
c) before workout, and the body parts you will be working out that day
d) after workout, on the body parts you just worked out
e) before workout, of the body parts you workout previously, (so they had time for some recovery before foam rolling)

I would personally go to b) full body after every workout. But as I always say we are different, what works for me might not be the best for you so you gotta experiment and act accordingly.

Oh wow! Interesting...
I do option (f) occasionally before workout along with warm up, as and when there are some sore muscles that haven't fully recovered yet.

In the morning at home or at home before going to the gym. Only glutes and back because those get tight for me if I don't work them regularly.
