Yes, I use it regularly for lower back and legs. I do a lot of olympic lifting (cleans and most variants of full deep squats) and the foam roll helps a lot to loosen up tight spots in the muscles.

Some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foam_rolling

Cross fitters aren't smart enough to foam roll.

My gym has only a soft one with a smooth surface. Would love to try a hard roller with a rough surface (no homo that is)

I have several in my home gym, culminating with my favorite: a 3 foot piece of 4" sch40 PVC pipe. It cost $4 down at Home Depot.

I also have a $60 one that I got from EliteFTS with knobs all over it (no homo). I rarely use it.

Because it's way more painful? I assume it's great to loosen the shoulder blades?
Elite has great products, but shipping rates to Europe are ridiculous.
