[...] Being sore is the worst… but it’s also the best. I like being sore to some degree because regardless of what studies or science might say, it just makes me feel that I accomplished some good shit in the gym. It lets me know my time was well spent. But there are times where soreness can get in the way of daily activities, and that’s where The Stick steps in to help out. If you missed it, you can read my full review of the The Stick HERE. [...]

Your “big stick” review was great!! Yes, my mind went dirty when I first read the title… you wanted us all to go that way!

Anyway, I saw this at my running shoe store: http://www.roadrunnersports.com/rrs/products/HSP108/ and was thinking of getting it when I first saw it. It is not exactly what you got but your review sounds like this could be a great help. I have the foam roller but this might be good as well!

I have this persistent glute to tie into the hammie thing that plagues me all the time & maybe this will help. I have very bad feet & I know some oof it stems from that but I can’t fix the feet right now…

Thx for the very in depth review… and FJ, don’t go there after that statement!!!!

My boyfriend has a big stick!

Oh wait, that sounded wrong.

He actually owns one of these thingies, and I make fun of him for it all the time…however, he loves it, and when he’s doing an all day tournament, he carries it with him in his gym bag to use throughout the day.

I find it useful for reaching and knocking off high things.

Yeah it is kinda like ROLFing if you dig deep and hard enough. Manipulating the fascia around your muscle tissue is a no-brainer way of making sure nothing is restricting your muscular growth in the first place.

A much safer alternative than those thinking or considering site-enhancing oils. There’s no need for that shit. This + Power stretching = undeniable results.

I’m an ex-Physical Therapist…well I’m still a PT, just don’t practice any more. Point is, the Big Stick sounds a lot like self-ROLFing. ROLFing has been a controversial method of recovery and treatment for pain, but like it or not, it works.

And as a PT, I commend you for giving your recommendation only for bodybuilders and elite athletes. Like ROLFing, whiners and criers need not apply. Great review.
