First thing that comes to mind is matthes saying "spray the field with pump"
Here are some words from the webpage
"First use the 4Arm Strong device, then rub the spray into your forearms. 4Arm Strong Sport Spray can be used topically anywhere on the body to reduce pain and stiffness. Positive results have also been realized on the back, neck, shoulders, hips, knees, hamstrings, ankles and calves.

4Arm Sport Spray is a positively charged, ionic mineral solution infused with our proprietary blend of Magnesium oil, Arnica, essential oils and sodium bicarbonate. Designed for athletes and active adults, 4Arm Strong Sport Spray works synergistically with the human body to positively affect energy levels and muscle function for peak performance."

Has anyone tried this? Seems like snake oil to me (edit: it also reminds me of those hologram bracelets from a while back), with that said it is a steal at $29.95 for 8oz. I would be interested to hear the opinion of someone who has a formal sports medicine education and of course from my fellow Vital peeps.

Just when I was starting to warm up to the 4arm strong device along comes this nugget of bull shit.
I don't know who to be more pissed at this Quack for putting out crap that absolutely, positively, without a doubt does nothing or the clueless people that buy it?

None of the ingredients in this bottle have the ability to penetrate through the skin, if they did you would most likely need a prescription for it or have to buy it directly from a pharmacist.

Don't waist your money.

Cheers for insight (I get the feeling you may know a thing or two about sports injuries). It is pretty amazing that companies are able to make such bold claims without repercussions. I think that power balance bracelet company did end up in court for false advertising and for having no scientific evidence to back up the claims, though I doubt that will happen here (if these claims are erroneous of course). The thing with this is, someone who buys it will massage it into their arms when they have arm pump and the massage will make it feel better, they would probably get the same results by rubbing coconut or other massage oils into their arm.

I completely agree with you, though certain forms of magnesium have the ability to be applied transdermally. Although I have no idea if this is used in this product or if it would have any influence on armpump.

I don't know about this spray but after every winter break I use some sort of spray for muscle pain and that works pretty good, doesn't eliminate it, but does reduce it which makes it at least rideable.

"Reduces pain and STIFFNESS". Whatever you do guys, DO NOT rub it in and then go and take a leak. Your Johnsonville Braut will be worthless to your lady for several days! WoohooTonguePinchWhistling

After reading the thread title, I was going to make a joke about it probably being a 4arm strong product. Looks like they are already the punchline.

Anytime a product leads with "positively charged, ionic mineral", it's snake oil.

I wish this product would make it to the Shark Tank. . . Mark Cuban would eat this product alive.

I remember watching a documentary on MX from about 15 yrs ago or so where they talked about using nail polish to help prevent arm pump. Seemed like a pretty good idea at the time.

Cant remember the name of that film...

This company reminds me of the old adage "A fool and his money are soon parted"

Forearm pain while riding comes from overdeveloped flexor muscles (the ones that hold onto the bars) versus underdeveloped extensor muscles (the ones that push your fingers / thumb apart).

Getting a strong rubber band, and training very high rep finger extension will absolutely help alleviate arm pump, but for some reason everyone in the moto industry thinks you need some kind of magic fix.

When Hobo Nick saw the product released on their instagram, he drop kicked a baby bunny in a moment of rage.

I'm sure he'll have something to say about it on the Podcast this week.
