Science science science. Picked up a decent massage gun for $40. Feels good and relaxes my muscles. Worth it.

Just see it for what it is, a temporary relieve of muscle soreness. It's not a long term fix for anything, but my back feels relieved after using it on my Gluteus Medius.

what is long term?

90% of adults endure lower back pain at some point in their lives. 95% of this back pain goes away without doing anything. Pain killers, massage therapy, movement as much as you can,... Are all things that help during this episode of pain. If you are part of the 5%, a doctor is needed. A VERY good information channel for back pain amongst many other things is: Barbell Medicine. KZbin, podcast, website, check them out. They provide all the science and studies with it. No 'trust me bro' there.

Been using one off and on for a couple of years and I agree with you, I can't feel that it does anything.

Mine helps tremendously when I’m sore or tense. I love using it at the base/back off my head. Instant stress/tension release

I've found that it works best post-exercise for me. Really helps decrease soreness significantly. If I had to do it pre-exercise, for me it helps if I do it 2 hrs before

It works on the principles of myofascial release. If you have issues in your fascia due to imbalances, trauma only then will you find it worth it. Pretty useless comparing it against sleep and nutrition for a proper recovery

You didn't mention that it just feels good when using it :) Like a real massage.

@humanbeing2420 8 ай бұрын

It feels good, but it doesn't feel like a real massage, for obvious reasons.

Don't waste your time on this video, because it DOES WORK for some people! Just buy it and try it. Much cheaper than going places wasting money. And it won't cost more than equivalent of 2 such visits.

Very good video! I love the quality of the video, the audio and the editing, and how you combine the background music with your voice to create the atmosphere. Also, you show scientific studies to support what you are saying. Keep it up!

Thanks, will do!

Idk if its a placebo effect. But for me, when i massage before and after, it greatly reduces how sore i get. Iv tested it a few times and the pain is greatly reduced. Especially in my legs.

Where's your book summary, Jack?

I broke my neck and I have problems with my lower back and the tops of my legs. I use a massage gun and it relieves most of the pain. They really work and I swear by mine.

Brilliant, glad to hear that it's so beneficial for you!

Cold exposure decreases muscle growth (source Rennesaince Periodization)

@JackClose 4 ай бұрын

In the first 4 hours after training there’s some evidence for decreased hypertrophy with cold exposure but not after 4 hours

Loved the vid, I was thinking about getting one in the future but I’ll stick to my foam roller😅

Thanks Tre! I don’t blame you, they’re very expensive given they’re not really backed by science

Surely anything that manipulates the muscle is good

Did you really just steal corporis video lol? You talked about all the same studies, from the calf study to the rhabdo case. Thanks for wasting my time.

@humanbeing2420 8 ай бұрын

He probably discussed the same studies as Corporis because they are the only ones that exist. There are no others to talk about. These products are quite new so there's not a large body of research on them. And if you pay attention to both videos it's clear that they're substantively different from each other. Think for a minute or two before you accuse someone of theft.
