The Stick

[Barrett]

Does anyone own one of these. If so how does it compare to a foam roller??? Would you suggest a runner to get this is they seem tight and sore alot???

harder, bendier, and works better for digging in, it's like the equivalent of a tennis ball/lacrosse ball for your back.

there's actually some vid I saw explaining the difference somewhat. along the lines of: the foam roller is like a shot gun, the stick is like a sniper rifle.

I never could do pushups/chinups until I got one, and started working on my forearms. Learned about it at the 07 Summit. Don't use it a lot now, but it is well worth the small area it takes up in the closet.

Definetly worth the investment.

I have one. It's a good middle-ground tool to use along with a foam roller and tennis/lacrosse balls. Personally, I found the original version a little too pliable, so depending on how rough you want to get, you may want the stiff version.
