Donnie Thompson's Body Tempering!

[@SkylerKing]

Tempering steel is done by letting it sit in an oven at low heat, for awhile. No "hitting/hammering/mashing" is involved with tempering.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Thank you for the correction.

[@rajendra82a]

The hitting/hammering/mashing would be work hardening, as in in the mysterious Rogue process that makes a barbell jump from a F-scale rating of 2 to 6.

[@cameronmccoy5051]

I laughed a little when I heard that. Was like "wouldn't you temper your muscles in a Sauna?" Kinda obvious when you think about temperature

[@24mrich]

Great quote "makes you feel better, but not proven to have long term effects" I think some people do not understand that feeling better does not mean its making you better.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Exactly

[@henrygobblesag1815]

Very nuance topic, but one could argue either way. Placebo effect is still far better than no effect.

[@PrimeMatt]

The effects are neurological, and the method of application means double blind studies are impossible, so I doubt we'll ever see hard evidence for its efficacy. However I've used it on dozens of people, (boomstick and pain pill mostly), and there is a definite acute effect, which can lead to improved movement patterns, and therefore long term change 👍🏼

[@HalfJapMarine]

Yeah the improvement to movement patterns seems to be really undervalued. Crisp movements putting tension right where you want it will have amazing benefits long-term.

[@SteveFit]

So you’re saying i could turn into Excalibur if I body temper..im starting today!

[@TimIsABat]

Thank you for the transparency about body tempering not being evidence based and could be placebo.

[@PeakBagger999]

I use the Boomstick and PainPill on my wife and she says they work well on releasing tight tissues and alleviating soreness. Looking forward to getting the DT Tempering Roller as well.

[@dccsnare]

My friends got an x wife (130 lbs roller) and uses it on our powerlifting team. Can say 100 percent say does a good job at preventing injuries, helps recovery, and reduces imbalances. I have scoliosis and my left erector has become way bigger than my right and that thing helped take out muscle adhesions and reduced pain so much. I think I will invest in one myself one day. To be clear, body tempering is mainly for preventing injuries and if you don’t have that problem or are simply a recreational lifter it likely won’t help you.

[@alreadyfalling]

nice video, doing a good job. I have a question about the rusty metal roller you had. where did you get that from?? I have been searching for one forever!

[@c.simmons2147]

You could still probably have the bigger weights work on smaller body parts. Just get something narrow that you can stack so your arm can fit on top but still have it between the weights.

[@woodmanhu8240]

Hey Coop, I looked your home gym series and would like to get your opinion about the cable machines or cable equipment that can be attached to a power rack or so. Is that worth spending the money for a home gym especially a room that’s not too large to put everything in? And I’m talking about the cable that you can adjustment from top to the bottom not like the pull up attachment that you can only use it on the top or on the bottom. I looked on amazon and found a brand name called Valor fitness. It has a BD-7BCC system that includes power rack and cable attachments on both side. Can you give a review on it? Thank you!

[@tHatGuYdubs]

Was going through donnie's youtube channel and noticed that he has this saved in his favorites, good job coop lmao, also damn you look super young here man

[@kiusau]

Are they hollow? Could you add concrete to make it heavier?

[@rajendra82a]

I would have loved see Coop just go a little further to "temper" his wristwatch too.

[@bmstylee]

Would it help alleviate the tension I carry in my neck fat?

[@CoreBlendTraining]

Great review!

[@Robert-hf5xr]

So you stole that metal cylinder? Lol

[@zokotuckikazu3239]

You put a steel rod on someone’s body? That’s something I don’t see much.

[@TommyGun8142]

Why is the forge $400? That's ridiculous for what is effectively a lump of metal used to squash things.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Yeah, it's definitely expensive. Smaller company, so I'm sure with scale they could get it down.

[@CoreBlendTraining]

@@GarageGymReviews It's $389 and it includes shipping.

[@CoreBlendTraining]

It also replaces both your trigger point devices as well as any rollers you'd buy in the future. It is more cost effective than any alternative.

[@aleaseaubreyfrieson5106]

This makes more sense to me than foam rolling.

[@keksauraisks]

Just have your gym bros sit on you

[@DancingEagle]

It’s just massage. Why do you couch it as “having or not having” long term benefits or strength preparation? Just like massage it is a myofacial release of the muscle fibers. Essentially a deep tissue massage preformed on large swaths of muscle groups. This is what you pay massage practitioners to do with their hands. And hands are the best implement for this purpose but for lack of money and a skilled massage practitioner this is the next best thing. I was always told in massage school that people get massages because they do not stretch. So lengthening the muscle fibers and breaking up knotted muscle so more blood and oxygen can get in with more mobility and overall strength post massage or stretch ( baring you do not stretch too much for too long) is the purpose and outcome of this. I bet he has to come up with a marketing gimmick for it because claiming certain outcomes or processes relating to body manipulation can be a legal matter.

[@joshualynch3804]

with that plate loaded one...couldn't you get your forearm by just simply putting your arm on a bench? the plates would be outside the width of the pad....

[@CoreBlendTraining]

Yes you can. Also, your smaller muscles like your forearm aren't going to need 25 pound plates unless you're a professional grip athlete...

[@Nick-ih5em]

Affordable and Rogue dont go together.

[@PeakBagger999]

Nick Blevins I tend to agree, although these rollers are some of the best priced ones I’ve seen for the quality. The cast iron makes it more affordable than using stainless steel.

[@fallingleaveskungfu]

Everything old is new again. Definitely not bro science. Very similar to body conditioning and recovery told developed by the old kung fu masters; so it's there an effect? Yes. Do we know what the mechanism is yet? No.

[@coolbeans6148]

It does the same thing as a foam roller. Pointless.

[@aleaseaubreyfrieson5106]

You use more effort with a foam-roller. So, how is it the same?
