TOO STIFF and HARD
This foam roller advertises to be 'firm' but in reality it is extremely hard. I would not advise anyone getting this foam roller as their first time foam rolling experience. You might need to work your way up to this firmness. I have been using a  foam roller for the past five years and have not encountered a foam roller as stiff and hard as this one. Even the ones with ridges and bumps are more gentle on your back. But if you are looking for a foam roller that is VERY firm, stiff, and hard then this product is for you.<br /><br />Another problem is that the foam roller is smaller than expected, I am a relatively small person (my waist is 26 inches) and this foam roller is not wide enough to roll my lower back at once. This poses more as a problem because of the stiffness of the roller. You are then permanently trying to find the best position, which doesn't leave you with the best experience.
