I have this 30 dollar walmart foam roller 18 inches. And it is okay, but It is kind of soft, I was wondering, are there better foam rollers? What is the best one for the price? Is it the harder the better? Any foam rolling success stories?

White is softest, blue is medium, black is hard.
You can get a black 18-incher (insert joke) from Amazon Basics for $11.xx

What is the best?
>>36655309
I prefer the ones with ribbing

Pvc pipe is good
I spent a fuckton on a black rumble roller
Literally took out all the knots in my shoulder, something the massage place couldn't do

I had a black foamy one like that and it ended up breaking after like 3 months. Just all tearing up. I got one of these

I dont think you know how foam rolling works
>>36655749
okay
Will a massager do as good a job if not better than a foam roller? I've been using it my last few workouts and it seems to help.

You're the dumbest person on /fit/.

Wanna say how or just gonna shitpost faggot
I had an old thin yoga mat laying around, so bought some PVC pipe and duct taped the mat around it tightly. Best foam roller Ive ever used, it's much harder than any storebought foam rollers and wont go softer over time.
The soft rollers are fine when youre just starting out, but youll soon want to upgrade to harder rollers. Eventually you mcan make do with a length of pvc pipe wrapped in grip tape. Super cheap, super hard and works great.
For massage, I just use a tennis ball, works pretty well

SO a pvc pipe with duct date over it? Why the duct tape?
>>36658921
gives it a bit more friction so it doesn't slide around
>>36658791
but they go soft after like 2 sessions

Lacrosse balls are infinitely superior.
