Yes, but I would also recommend doing some whole body warmup after the myofascial release before the weights.

In general yes, but my clients prefer it in their cool down and stretching segment after training.

In the NASM movement prep course that I took at IDEA 2012, they used the foam roller as part of the warm-up.

Hi Alison,

SMR is very effective as a warm-up, it increase blood flow and helps increase mobility. I encourage most of my clients to foam roll prior to the start of our session and then we get into a dynamic warm up.
