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

Hardware store.

Get a 3 or 4 foot piece of 3 or 4 inch pvc.

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.

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.

Waterboarding would be more fun.

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

Check the hole diameter, some are wider than others.
