Joint Relief

[Wesley Inman]

For those of you who have serious joint pain, issues, arthritis or just aches and pains from heavy lifting...thought posting this might help some of you guys...

Wanted to give you guys a heads up on a product I have been using for just over 5 years, actually alot of us in Strongman use this product..

It's made by Absorbine Jr (I am not sponsored or affiliated with them).

It is technically for Horses, though its ingredients are all natural and safe and this stuff works wonders...

I use this on my elbows 15 minutes prior for every pressing session I do, because I have bad elbows after years of heavy lifting..This stuff allows you to work through nagging aches and pains...

It may help heal injuries too for the fact that it reduces swelling and improves circulation at the applied site...

You can get it at vet stores, feed stores, or Tractor Supply chains, or online. It's like $12 bucks for a bottle that can last you a year or more.

my dad and his friends have used this for years and swear by it.

OK, I just ordered it. Tractor Supply wouldn't do an online order on this product. Ordered it from some saddlery company: We’ll see…

Its great stuff , used it since highschool.

The Absorbine liniment liquid works very well for scrapes and cuts , athletes foot , jock itch and all kind of other stuff

Thanks for posting this.....my right elbow has flared up really bad lately. I'm gonna get some of this!

I've been using a horse liniment that elitefts sells for years now too. I'll assume it is a similar type product. Of course there is always DMSO as well. It kinda depends on the nature of the tweak/soreness in terms of how effective any of these topical solutions are/can be.

That is a good one. Another one to try is kwan loong oil.

If it's got a picture of horse or cows, it must be good.

The guy that introduced me to it was a trainer for race horses and his exact words were
"If its good enough for a million dollar race horse , its good enough for a highschool meat head"

I'll have to give this a try, thanks for the heads up.

I just read up on this, I am def going to try. I have been having some issues with my elbows lately. There was an article on espn about Tony Casillias formerly of the Dallas Cowboys said they used it all the time in the 90's. They said it made your breathe smell like onions.

horse liniment and lots of Cissus have been a god-send to my wrecked left shoulder.

I can still train heavy and hard and no pain. I STILL probably need surgery but fuck it

 

[TeknoViking]

[TeknoViking]

How does this compare to tiger balm and icy hot etc that you find in grocery stores ...

That was likely a DMSO product , you have to be careful with DMSO because its very quicly absorbed into the blood stream , that why you can often taste it when you get it on your hands.
Great stuff for joints though
