Is Gua Sha legit? Why don't you have a Gua Sha tool yet? I've been Gua Sha-ing my forearms for the past hour and it feels good man.>what is gua sha?It's muscle scraping. Aka you massage your muscles like foam rolling but you scrape it for a deeper massage. It's suppose to refine your muscles by improving circulation and getting rid of scar tissue.
buy an ad faggot
>>75716351Gua sha means bull shit in Chinese
>>75716351i use one on my dick and get a temporary girth boost, like .15”
>>75716399no>>75716422i doubt it>>75716438you're lying
>>75716351>It's suppose to refine your musclesdoesn't happen>by improving circulation unless you're fat and have vascular disease, there's a very specific reason why the exact amount of blood that's going through your muscles right now is doing soalso it doesn't do this because all you're doing is either nothing if your skin isn't red, or destroying capillaries in your skin if it is red afterwards>and getting rid of scar tissue.if you believe that rubbing a little plastic blob on your skin can get rid of scar tissue, I have oceanfront property in nevada to sell you
>>75717502>you're lyingyou have a tiny penis
>>75717842you're retarded>>75717868i am average
I’ve got a side chick that’s been doing it to her face and her skin looks amazing and it’s made her jaw line and neck look better/more defined
>>75716399fpbpAdvertising meme shit only works on normalfags.
>>75718285average is tiny
>>75718349HURRR THINGS DONT WORK I DONT DO NOTHING CUZ IM A RETATRD POTATO POS DURRR
>>75716351chink shit scam
>>75718505you're fucking retarded
>>75718500Someone post the Tienamen Square copy pasta at this guy. Your things don't work because the only stuff that matters is actually lifting weights, eating protein, and getting enough sleep. Peripherals like the one you're shilling do fuck all except enrich whoever sells them.
>>75718510>>75718500>>75718285>ur retarded>posts no evidenceare you some kind of dumb jeet?gua sha has never been proven to work, there's not even any evidenceit's one step above fucking "modifying energy flows" needling shit and is as useless as cuppingwhatever you think rubbing a plastic card on your skin does, it doesn't. PRP actually helps. Just go get PRP injections you dumb fucking retard
>>75718575>no evidenceyou fucking retardhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37397163/>Scraping therapy has therapeutic effects on rats with multifidus injury by promoting muscle regeneration via regulating GLUT4/glycolytic and AMPK/mTOR/4EBP1 signaling pathways.https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32186106/>Gua Sha therapy can facilitate weightlifting ability, reduce the RPE, and inhibit muscle injury by promoting recovery from fatigue caused by normal weightlifting training. Gua Sha therapy could be an effective treatment to complement normal weightlifting training.Fucking retard
>>75719355>rat injury model>chinese RPE studyinto the garbage you go
>>75716351I don't see why what is basically a form of massage won't give any results but I am also skeptical of anything like this, it seems like a meme with negligible benefitshow does something like this improve circulation
I went to PT and they did muscle scraping on my thumb/wrist. Not some piece of shit plastic but a nice stainless steel thing. I got one to use at home for like $20.My understanding is your muscle fibers get into bundles/knots and this technique can help free them up...particularly around nerves that might be getting tweaked from the knot.My massage therapist will likely do something similar to my forearm tomorrow. It's good shit but get the little metal one I'm posting. Feels really comfy to hold and use.
>>75716351>chinkshit>legit
>>75720391>implying asians don't have better tech than the west>>75720354It's not plastic dude, it's bone or something if I'm not mistaken.. hold on.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08Z3KRFD4Yeah it's made from like buffalo horn, it's not plastic.
Mods do the needful, delete this advertising bullshit.
>>75721265>NOOOOOO YOU CAN'T TALK ABOUT FITNESS RELATED SUBJECTS THAT COST MONEY>I'M A WORTHLESS FUCKING NEET NOOOOOjust hide the thread and fuck off then
>>75718535Cringe. Stop sharing your stupid useless opinion all the time we are going to talk about things other than the basics on this board, deal with it.
>>75721296Just buy an ad
>>75721313I'm not selling anything, I just wanna talk about it. Techniques and results and such.
WTF is this bullshit?
>>75721339>what is deep muscle tissue massaging>WTF is this bullshit?too complicated for your small brain?
>>75721339Its some shit girls do for their face but anons doing it on their muscles
>>75721254Literally all the tech chinks have is stolen from other countries. They are incapable of innovation
>>75721342So its bullshit?Also, buy an ad
>>75716351Chinks just stole it from the West, as usual.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apoxyomenos
>>75721440isn't greek and roman mythology technically the east instead of the west?
>>75716351It has no discernable health benefits and can even fuck you up if you do it too much, too hard, or in the wrong places. There was a critical assessment of it in the Journal of Alternative Medicine and a book by the author of that article and it was debunked as being useful.
>>75722849link of it being detrimental? pubmed only showing positive studies.
>>75722857Alternative Medicine– A Critical Assessment of 150 Modalities by Edzard Ernst. It's not open access. Also, both gua sha and coining (similar Vietnamese practice) caused a bunch of injuries in Vietnamese communities in the 1980s in California and a bunch of people got arrested for child and elder abuse. Some uses of it even led to brain bleeds, though since you're just doing your arms and not your neck, that's probably not a concern. Pic related, gua sha related.
