I am going to have to make the investment as well. I think their are full size and half size. Anyone have a recommendation on roller length - short or long?

For me the firmest - but you've got to relax and let the roller/& spikes dig in

The smaller one will do

I know this is not a source board
Looks like the black firm compact roller is preferred, for an example.

Recommendation Don't do it...it will make you cry and whimper and sweat more than lifting! Decided to stretch and roll today since y'all made me feel so guilty. Instantly remembered exactly why it might be worse than being locked in a room with eyelids stapled open and being forced to watch a teletubby marathon for 3 straight days without food. Yes it's great for us but you would think I was giving birth to a full grown whale it hurt so bad...only reminding me once again why it should be done more often. Thank you so much for the pleasurable experience...what's your address so I can send you a gift basket full of chocolate...just kidding. Seriously though thank you for the reminder to put this back in to the routine.

Yes they can hurt(all depends how tight one is, and also) the main point to focus on is relaxing and letting it work! I had difficulties in beginning - I would actually lock up b/c I wasn't relaxed making the whole process worse than it was...

Don't quit on it - obviously you may need one that wasn't soo stiff... I like the pain b/c I know it's going to help(but when you start to get used to it it's not so bad - actually refreshing) you seem very tight like myself - I use a lacrosse ball on my back and rear delts(and that's painful - also need a total reverse joint replacement)...

It can't be worse than Birth c-mon lol - just try one not as firm(like the white foam roller(but w/the spikes)

Noooooo. I haven't ever been preggies and lost my girl parts so no kiddos for me!!!

I was referring to my reaction when I dig into my extremely tight muscles. I wince.

I also use lacrosse balls for my back. That is not painful. Deep tissue massage on IT bands. when I read that Marcus was in pain rolling on this contraption I know it's gonna hurt!

I Wanted to make sure I didn't offend anyone

I was actually licking up b4 I realized to relax - it definitely can be very painful - especially at first... When your body is already screaming - and sooo tight... I'm to tight myself(gotta make DTM wkly) IT Bands and my ass will tighten until the muscle actually relaxes(from re-flexing)
