Rumble Roller

I got the black one (extra firm...yes je suis stupid). Will report back from the ninth circle of hell when it arrives
 
Same, I got the black extra firm one too! Was going to go blue then I took a teaspoon of cement and thought bugger it, I'll regret it otherwise. I got decent layers of fat on my butt and thighs so only extra firm will get right in. I think the winning point for me is that "it resembles a masseuse's thumbs working into your muscles" ahhhhh the best feeling!

We'll see how tough you ladies with you're black rumble rollers are soon

Put it this way. On a foam roller, I can do hammies til the cows come home. I upgraded to pvc pipe and that was adequate for a bit. I used my mates extra hard rumble roller and I'd say I could do about 10 rolls or so on the hammies. On my blue rumble roller, I still use the other leg to put extra pressure down to get a good massage.
 
Yeah these are good, I am bringing some of these bad boys in. Great product for self-trigger point therapy
 
Challenge accepted JZ!!!

But hang on ... I need layers of fat?
I think "bone saw" may be all too accurate in my case

umm yeah some fat on you will help with this!

Oh and I mentioned it in CCM's thread but I really find a medicine ball to be the ultimate for glutes especially. I still can't get the right angle on the rumble roller.

I'll have to take a pic of the "accessories" I keep in the corner of my lounge room for self rehab. LOL
 
I was looking at these for glutes and all those other little areas

Foam roller does nothing for my hamstrings, even with the other leg on top, tennis ball does OK. I love the deep penetration into the muscles, best feeling of relief!
 


oh shiite... *looks desperately for a cushion as toosh buffer*

funny, I keep my rehab stuff in a corner of the lounge too ...
 
Just buy one Mick! I only heard of these things yesterday now pshycing myself the pain! Oh the pain!
 
I've tried foam rollers only. I have a question for those who've tried both foam and rumble rollers.

For someone who has never tried either type, would you recommend they jump straight into the rumble roller or get used to the foam roller first?

I know the foam roller can be pretty full on when you first try it, so just concerned that a first-timer might get completely turned off when first trying the rumble roller.
 

might be worth getting used to using a foam roller first for the basics.
You can use the rumble roller somewhat differently because of the notches in it. But it's more intense, for sure.

Can't wait to rumble!! Sounds like I need a 50s gang and a flick knife!
 
I'm ready to rumble!!!
I'm ordering the mini rumbler to take to nationals in my suit case. Will be good to have at work too, people already think I crazy for sitting on a tennisball at my desk! Lol
