Cheap Foam Roller
Where's a good place to get a foam roller on the cheap? How dense do these things need to be for myofascials.

About 2.5 to 5 mg of Oxycodone taken orally should make that PVC feel like the correct density of foam depending on how tight your ITs are.Ed Zachary wrote:Hardware store.

The pvc is a tough call. It will work but it will hurt.

Depends on the myofascial tissue in question, and how much you weigh. You don't want to start the ITBs on pvc.jakeischillin wrote:Where's a good place to get a foam roller on the cheap? How dense do these things need to be for myofascials.

Re: Cheap Foam Roller
Go to your local Target and get one of these + broom/pvc inside, and you're good: http://www.racedaynutrition.com/feature ... oller.aspx
