Chia seeds. Use the link at the right, refresh until it comes up. It's a great deal. You get lots for a very low amount. It's the best deal I could find for you all, and I researched.

tough call. I have both and the trigger point roller definitely gets into the knots better. It depends on how much work you need. I think I paid $20 for the old fashioned foam version, so paying the difference on the upgrade is likely worth it.

My tip: PVC pipe from the hardware store, the widest you can find - mine is 11x50cm, not sure what that is in inches but super cheap, does a GREAT job, and you can use the Amazon GC's for something else. You can stretch a nylon sock over it to give it a little warmer, friendlier feel.

I'm with BFwillie on this one - BUY PVC PIPE! Lowe's & Home Depot carry a 4"x2' white pvc pipe for under $7. IT will hurt like a byatch for the first coupla' rolls, but once you get comfortable hitting those trigger points, nothing else will feel like it's working (unless it's a massage).

TJ, I think editing to many of Chasers posts might have done something to your way of thinking maybe?

I've heard the trigger point rollers are pretty good. Alternatively you can always use a wooden pastry roller (like I do..HA!)

I've used a wooden roller
I've used a wooden roller too, Zap. It's very painful when my hubby uses it on my legs. I think he likes inflicting pain on me that way. Hee.

Ouch. I like to be in control of the pain, but I guess whatever rocks your boat, girl... ha!Barefoot TJ said:

I have the regular black high density foam roller, which works well for me, however, if I had money to burn, I just might get a Rumble Roller. (as seen here http://www.mobilitywod.com/2011/03/episode-206365-the-couch-series.html)
I am planning to get a PVC pipe soon to add some more intensity to my "torture sessions".
