so let's open it up let's take a look inside so the first thing we've got is

when we release new videos and of course i would love if you could give me a like on this video
if you like it now if someone who works out a lot there are days where my body is very sore and so
because i'm in this for the long game and i don't want to just beat my body down and get injured i
want to make sure that with what i'm doing that i am properly recovered right i want to be able to
take care of myself and so between stretching between foam rolling between active recovery
and everything else that allows my body to get healthier using a massage gun was something that
i was interested in and so what i want to do in this video is really quickly just break down the
science of massage guns and kind of where we're at in terms of how it helps with recovery and then
i'd also like to talk about this specific massage gun the fly by gun in my experience now i've had
this for a while and as you can tell my cats enjoy ripping up boxes but we've got everything on here
that we need so real quick let's talk about just the studies behind massage therapy behind how
these guns can potentially help us recover so there's been a lot of different studies in terms
of how massage specifically from another human can benefit the body but there actually have been some
studies on the gun and really what i can say is that it's a little bit inconclusive about what
actually happens from gun massage so there have been a good amount of studies one that stood out
to me was one where they took 45 non-athletic females and i think that's important because
they are people who probably haven't worked out as much so when they work out they're going to
be a little more taxed and they compare those who receive massage therapy through vibrational
therapy which would be something like the gun and those who didn't and so they found a couple
things so number one muscle soreness after the workouts was reported to be significantly less in
the people that use the vibrational therapy along with that over the course of 48 to 72 hours there
is a significant difference in range of motion the people who use vibrational therapy actually had a
higher range of motion along with that there was an increase in something called creatine
kinase which i had to look into and it looks like it's an enzyme that helps repair muscle tissue so
in that sense it does help you build muscle it does help you recover more and then as far as
strength so the specific study i looked at there was no significant difference in strength there
were however a few studies that kind of had opposite ends of the spectrum so some showed
that strength actually decreased while some showed it increased so that's kind of the point where
there's a little bit of disconnect but i will touch on that in a second because i think that's
important but overall in that study what they found is that the people who use the vibrational
therapy actually had a reduction of pain and a reduction of doms which is delayed onset muscle
soreness which is just muscle soreness and so on top of that if you think about it if
you're getting something hit with a massage with a gun anything like that you're also most likely
going to increase blood flow to that area and so that's another benefit even that blood flow
potentially could help you recover faster but in terms of the confusion of whether this decreases
strength or increases strength one thing i will say is i don't care if i can lift 50 less pounds
if my body is healthier if i'm at less likely of a risk of injury and so i'd rather have
something that allows me to recover more to be more flexible more mobile more healthy
than to not have those benefits be able to lift a ton of weight but then end up injuring myself
and setting myself back right so if we look at this big picture from these studies my belief
is something like this works and from personal experience it works right it feels really really
good now i want to get into this specific gun so my experience with using this massage gun
i'll use it both after i've done workouts so if i have a chest day i'll use it on my chest
and then i'll also have it if let's say i hit my legs really really hard and i'm crazy sore the
next day i'll use it the day after when i'm experiencing that soreness and whether it's
placebo whether it actually works i'll find that when i use it if i'm sore i experience a lot of
pain in a very very good way but after i'm done massaging those body parts i feel less sore i
feel more relaxed and overall my body just feels healthier so that being said i want to get into
the specific gun so if we look at the price of the flyby on amazon right now it's listed for about 70
now that's kind of a cause of concern because the theragun which is the brand name in this space is
250. and so you look at that and you could look at it from the perspective of that's an awesome deal
you're saving money but you could also look at it from the perspective of you know what's wrong
with this why is it so cheap what's different is it just going to break on me and so personally
i've been using this for over a year now you know i haven't been doing it every single day
i will say that but i have been using it pretty consistently and i've had no issues whatsoever
and so let's break this down and then i'll kind of all wrap it up together so if we look at the box
the front we've got three impact modes we've got four plus hours of charge and six massage heads
we'll go into that in a second if we turn it around we see it's designed for professionals
made for everybody if we have pain multi-speed functionality relieves minor aches and pains
from muscle cramps spasms and knots and if you're experiencing chronic pain it's a fast natural way
to alleviate muscle tension from chronic ailments for fitness we could also use it as a warm-up to
decrease warm-up time and activate muscles for better performance and it's funny because they
actually misspelled performance so that kind of tells me it's not as high of a quality but again
if it works who cares and then for fitness recovery use post-workout for fast full body
recovery to reduce muscle tightness and soreness and then for wellness to feel better decrease
stress enhance body awareness and vitality i can actually agree with that right if you're hitting
these muscles you're going to decrease stretch it's kind of a meditative movement that you're
doing a meditative exercise that's going to help you feel better and then live better
increase range of motion and improve posture and then they have these cool little visuals so they
have the air cooling van they have three impact modes with a battery led display lightweight grip
silent tech industrial motor and six multi-use attachments so let's open it up let's take a
look inside so the first thing we've got is this gun now it's very very sleek right very sleek it's
smooth it's lightweight it's not super super heavy i mean it does have some weight to it but it's not
something where it's like weighed down probably weighs less than a handgun if not around the same
weight along with that we've got if we look at the bottom we turn the switch on the color of the led
is going to tell you the color of the charge so as i'm recording this we have a orange charge which
means it's kind of getting close to being dead but we still got some life in it and then if you
turn it around on the back you can actually see there's five dots and two out of those five dots
are lit up so this is kind of the area of the percentage of battery and so it's pretty cool
right you can turn it on and just see okay how soon until i need to charge it again because it is
not something that you replace the batteries you just have to plug it in which is also a huge plus
and then if we come over we see if we press the button to turn it on we've got three different
settings now if you look at the lights first right one setting lights one light up second lights the
second up third lights the third up and then if we turn it around and you can even hear it too like
if we look at this you can see the different speeds and you can hear the different power
levels so another pro there is it's pretty quiet you know i i haven't used any other
guns but i've heard that some of them can be very loud and let's say you're laying in
bed at night and you have someone next to you and you don't want to keep them awake
you don't want something that has this loud industrial motor right you want something
that's a little bit more silent and so this is a great volume honestly
like yeah there's a little bit of sound there but does it matter if it's just you know it's
it's not enough to be out there it's not enough to turn heads when you turn this thing on that is the
gun then we come over to the different attachments now we got six attachments here to be quite honest
the only two i use are these two balls so we have the bigger one and then we have the one that is a
little bit smaller and for me those work fine we do have this hook type attachment so this one is
you know probably to just dig in and get in there and maybe even get into places where
there's a crevice or something like that you like your hip or your shoulder or anything like that
the second one we've got is kind of this flat head it kind of looks like a screwdriver to be honest
and again this could probably just help you get in there a little bit deeper
third one's a flat one so this is just for covering more of a surface area i guess and
then the sixth one is this point now this one's probably going to be the most painful but also
the one that allows you to get the most in there and so super super interesting but again i just
stick to the two i feel like it's pretty pretty self-explanatory you don't need really anything
else but i guess if you're looking for something a little more intense that's the opportunity for you
and then finally we have the charger so what's really cool about this it's a very simple charger
just plug it into the wall plug it into the actual gun itself and then you are on your way
to charging and charge time doesn't take that long and again once you charge it the battery
life lasts longer than four hours usually and then you know so far without from what i've experienced
it doesn't diminish like i haven't charged this for maybe a month or two at this point
and it's again still on two out of five out of the battery so that's really the gun if i were to
break it down to a couple of pros and cons so pros we've got a great battery life we've got different
levels of impact so you can lower or raise the strength we've got different massage heads for
different types it's not too loud it's a pretty good volume it's been super durable so far for
me like it's worked out great the only con here is really you know if we're looking at the potential
that it costs less that it might be lower quality but again from personal experience this isn't
something i've had to work through i believe the company has a pretty good return policy too and
warranty so if you do run into any issues pretty quickly you can you know get that return get that
replaced but overall i think it's an awesome gun it's an awesome addition to any routine and again
while you're sitting at your computer while you're relaxing on the couch watching tv while you're
doing really anything that's just relaxing you can just take this gun and massage yourself now
so that's all i got for you guys i'm curious in the comments if you could leave me what's your
