Trade Me Foam rollers

[groovy]

i bought a storm drain pipe 0.5m length for 5$.

Bit more on the painful side but you get used to it. :pfft:

Pain means it's working, right :pray:

i hope so. Whenever i usually get doms/legs feel very tight, i just use pipe roller and it hurts like hell at first and then its good as new.

I have been looking for some time, you need a long one more than a short one and they seem to start at $50, so if you can get them cheaper on trade me, go for it. Really useful piece of equipment to have in your arsenal.

Not keen on the honeycomb variety...too soft IMO

Head down to Mitre 10, get a foam pool noodle for $10 and cut to length. Put it in a vice to maintain straightness and stability and keeping your eyes level with the top of the foam skewer it with a long drill bore bit and then slide that sucker on your equipment.

seems alittle to soft, must agree. But still proving to be a handy tool. Are the other ones just a denser foam?

I got one from obie.co.nz

Really expensive but it's really hard

I've got one of those too, bought it from EliteFitness for $100 though, and I see that site sells it for $80 :cry:

Still, I wanted it then so what can ya do :pfft: Good roller, though.

foam rolling is like a new lease on life for squatting man.

buy the firmest one you can find, they eventually lose shape if you are usuing them as hard and as often as you should.

ive got a short one that fits in my gym bag, but ill soon be replacing it with a long one.

i bought a black one from fitnessworks in takapuna, only just starting to lose shape now - 8-9 months.

if you are a big tank mofo, they f*ck out quicker

^true this. Comffit and the FW ones dont seem to last round here. We are going to upgrade to PVC pipe/ One will be covered with camp bed roll foam (cut it and ados it in place) and one will be naked :twisted:

like Tinytraps VIOLATER :twisted:
