Transcripts
This is Dr. Tom Biernacki, and today I'm showing off my heavy duty massage gun review.
So the Theragun Pro is the big one.
This is the Bob and Brad D6, which is their heavy duty one.
I've used both of them.
I love this one personally.
I'm gonna to show you why.
They both have an amplitude of 16 millimeters,
so they're equal in that component.
And what happens is this one, the Bob and Brad D6 has a stall force of 85lbs.
That means if I push as hard as possible, not that I'm going to do it on my neck.
It fails at 85 pounds.
The Theragun Pro, if you lean 65 pounds into it, it will stall out.
They're both pretty loud, so 60 to 65 decibels for both.
So they're both pretty loud.
There are less loud guns.
This one is more of a deep in and out that gives you a lot of strength
that attachments.
Realistically, I always just put on one attachment.
They all kind of do the same thing, in my opinion.
I don't like using the fork thing.
I like using kind of that blunt soft and I get my lower back, my glutes, my thighs.
It works really well.
What's the weight?
This one is actually a little bit a little bit
by a couple of ounces by ten ounces heavier than the theragun.
So this one's 2lbs, 13 ounces.
The theragun is 2lbs, three ounces.
The theragun is better in a couple of different areas.
It's a little bit lighter.
It has replaceable batteries.
This thing is about half the price, though.
Your gun could be more than double the price.
This usually retail somewhere in the 200 to 300 range.
The theragun is like in the 600 range.
I'm talking about the pro one.
I've had to return a few of these because I buy it for relatives.
Great customer support.
If anything's busted at all, they will replace it for you.
I haven't necessarily had an issue with the Theragun.
I don't have a ton of those because I purchased more of these.
But it's a little stuff like a packaging issue or something.
It's not that it breaks like a weekend.
I've actually used this for like six months.
I use it pretty much like 10 minutes every day.
It's held up great.
I haven't really had a family member have an issue either.
If the Theragun was on sale, it might be a great deal.
That's actually when I bought mine.
But otherwise this is generally cheaper.
The difference is you can't really flip out the batteries.
That's majorly the issue there.
But the battery here, it uses the Usb-C charger.
It's a little bit better as far as the charging.
So I like that.
So realistically it has more attachments.
The D6, but really who cares?
I don't really switch up the modes.
They're all going to be roughly the same.
I know the Theragun has
some type of computer program stuff, but realistically I don't use that.
You're going to use it with your own hand or have somebody do it on your back.
This is more powerful.
£85 of stall force versus 65.
The Theragun Pro has a swivel head.
This kind of does as well.
So the head swivels here to see that I don't really use it.
Like who cares?
The swiveling is not that important for me.
It's really about getting the meaty areas, your thighs, your glutes.
I love this thing.
Great option.
A link down below with a code. The handles.
Listen, this heavy duty ones like the Theragun Pro in this, the handle is hard.
If you're going to use it in the car while you're driving or something.
Maybe get a lighter one.
This one's for in the morning
when you're really sore, really stiff, it really gets in there.
This is my best option.
I must have bought like 10-15 massage guns this year.
This is by far my favorite for traveling.
I have a much smaller one,
so if I'm in the car or something, I have a smaller one
because this is a little big to get underneath your hamstring or something.
If you're sitting in a chair or something and you can't really get out,
which is a lot of times
when I use it, when I'm traveling or being driven somewhere or whatever.
Options are. I love massage therapy.
These guns were great on the big, thick, meaty muscles your butts, your thighs,
your hamstrings. I use it for like 5 minutes.
Just hit up all the muscles over like a week or two.
They really loosen up.
So codes down below.
Bob and Brad D6 watch the YouTube channel as well.
Those guys are great physical therapists, you know.
Thanks for sending me this one.
Particularly even though I use my own money to purchase them in general.
So I have been buying a bunch by myself without the code.
