I don't know what all the hate is for. How about you just accept that I can replicate this teqnique in my own creative ways for free, and you can use the product and be happy about the purchase and use of it. My way works just as well. And yours work fine too. I just personally think it's overpriced for my liking, and I thought it was funny to claim that there is no way to get the same results other than the device. From my experience this is clearly untrue. That's my opinion on the matter. I'm fine with my dignity. Not too worried about losing it on a Internet forum about stretching.

Here is a video on fascia release using a lacross ball. These same methods can be applied on a smaller scale to the forearm using golf balls, marbles, anything solid and round and fitting to what size muscle is being rolled. If you want me to make a video myself, I gladly will for the low price of $160. And my video will be the only way to get results. Nobody else's video will work. Just mine

You should go back and read some of your first posts in this thread...and then come back and say you weren't trying to slam the 4arm strong device. You basically said it was worthless junk and you could make electrical tape and marbles work just as good.

I would still be interested in seeing a device that a " single dude " could use on his own at the track that would work as well as the 4arm strong device. Something besides electrical tape and marbles would be good.

And if you try and say a " forearm roller " works...they do NOT even come close to what this device does. I know because i owned one a few years ago and it was indeed worthless. Top and bottom rollers with adjusting spring tension on top is what i had.

I'm not trying to be a dick , but you talked a huge game and have yet to prove one single thing you have said. What i see now is a bunch of back peddling.

In my opinion priced at $160 I do think it's junk. Like I said, it's a $500 cup to drink water from. Sure it can work. But being so familiar with corrective stretching, this is just really unnessisary. And to say this is the only way to get results is also a junk statement. I don't back pedal from anything I said. But if someone had seperate values than me and $160 for something you can learn online free is worth it, then more power to them. Just like I said all along. I also think this device is extremely overpriced. I own a lot of mobility and corrective stretching tools. Those were all under $40 and do much more than this. And even some of the ones I've purchased over the years I've later discovered cheaper ways to do the same thing. So this stands out to me as being incredibly overpriced and easily done for cheap or free. So I think people are being scammed when they are told NOTHING else can have these same effects, and then charged $160 for it. Tell that to any world class trainer and check their response (other than those who are getting a cut of the cheese)

Was there something else you thought I back pedaled from? im not wanting to come off as a hater if your a customer and are offended. If you can afford this and are happy then that's great. But for those of you having forearm tightness that's can't drop $160, maybe privateers, please research myofascial release. Watch some YouTube videos and think simple when scaling down to stretching your forearm muscles. Take 30 minutes and educate yourself and then apply that to your benefit. There's so much information out there on this. Just put some effort into it. Hope that can help someone out. Lord knows not everyone can spit out cash on things like this. There's PLENTY of alternative methods. And if you can figure it out on Google, then I think you have bigger problems.

So what you're saying is you won't put up any videos or pictures of these incredible devices that you say you own? The ones where we can take to the track and use them.

All the videos including the one you posted are have already been seen and tried by most of the guys here....and still do not work worth a shit compared to the 4arm strong.

I'll ask one more time , please show some pics or videos of these awesome devices you own that all cost below $40.00. Wait.....weren't you saying you could build something better for about 5 bucks? Hows that working out for you?

It's working out great for me. I don't have time to make videos on here. But il give you this. $4 on Amazon. This will get into tissue and break it up. Put it on your tailgate, place forearm on it, apply pressure to create a pin down on your flexor muscles, pull rist back with your other arm to create tension on both ends of the muscle, slowly roll this up and down the flexor muscles until tissue softens. Keep in mind your facia breaking up will need more precise pressure as you build a tolerance, if you will. You can also use a golf ball if this is too much/not enough. Taping 2 golf balls together with electrical tape also does wonders. These methods will be painful similar to Rolfing. If it's not painful then your not on the flexor or are not applying enough pressure. Try to find the flexor a before placing these items on your forearm. There will be a sharp pain when you are right on it. Work the forearm all around it, up and down and off the sides of the flexor. Really work it out like your rolling cookie dough. That's basically what myofascial release is. Your simply rolling your muscles like a pizza crust. If you follow this you should always feel soreness afterward, and the following day. Make sure you really give it some time. Also, you don't need to do it "at the track". It should actually be done before that. To give the muscle time to rest a bit. If your building a tolerance to certain items, switch. Get creative. You always want a smaller point and harder surface. This means the weight will be applied in a smaller area causing the tissue to take a more intense load, causing it to break up even more. One good example of results: I used this ball under my feet for a few months. At the end of regular routine fascia release, I was able to walk on my gravel driveway with ease, compared to before when it hurt. That's because every rock is applying a point of pressure on the tissue. After the tissue became soft, it was soaking up the rocks with less pain, and my foot was more flexible. So try these out and really dig in. I think these objects will be far more effective in the long run over the device. It's really just not practical being stationary and only having one tip size and density. One rule of stretching is to always follow pain. This device limits movement, aside from moving it over

And this isn't a joke, marbles are amazing. It took me a while to work up to that. But when you do, they really get in there. When you can get to smaller objects, you can even work them almost under the flexor. It's painful but the results are amazing
