View Full Version : Cryogel.
Well I don't know how many have heard of this stuff(apart from Bengdogg) but its pretty good at helping with DOMS and strains and stuff,nor does it stink like deep heat.
Heres a link www.cryogel.tv for the info about it.
This guy sells it over in the UK http://www.totalaggressionfightgear.com/
The owner of the site above is sending me out some samples to pass out to my friends.As I have no friends I'll offer you lot some instead :016: (Actually the guys I train already use it as and when needed)
Drop me a PM if you want some and I'll put some in post to you in a coupla days when samples arrive.Thought that someone here might want to use/try it as you guys n girls are always biatching about DOMS etc! :023:
Available here too http://www.sports-select.co.uk/

www.sports-select.co.uk also sells this....
Aye we have taken on what is considered to be the "best" formula as it has had good reviews.
Here Cryogel (http://www.supplement-select.co.uk/product/asp/ProdID/1594/af/page.htm)
Yeah gonna get some off ya Matt if the sample Tone's sending me is any good. Prob order a foam roller at the same time, I trust Alex and have sourced ones of the preferable density/hardness for SMR use? Prob a stupid question but would be nice to know.

Yes, these are the long, 6" rollers, perfect for SMR work, only the hardest will need to graduate to something else.
Best thing then would be to try the samples that I'm getting...then buy it from whoever sells it on here and keep it in the family as it were ;-)
Oh ,and yea, that is the best formula that BFT advocates.http://www.sports-select.co.uk/

What would you recommend as progressions from the 6" foam roller?

A blue one, then a smaller one, then a smaller blue one, then a bigger pvc pipe, then smaller, then....scaffolding?
kinkymisspinky
19-01-2007, 15:16
Don't think any of those would be any good for me - already using a rolling pin with about 1.5" diameter. Possibly scaffold but I'd still have the same problems as I'm having now in that I can only reach calves, quads, TFL/ITB with it. If I try to use it anywhere else - hamstrings, adductors etc. - other parts of my body get in the way.

WTF gets in your way of your hams and adductors??
kinkymisspinky
19-01-2007, 15:55
My arse gets in the way of my hams. The other hip gets in the way of adductors. Arse and other hip touch the ground before I can put enough pressure on the bit I'm trying to SMR.
GoldenArrow

Sounds like you're not using the right positions.
Hams you're doing seated?
Addcutors like a plank and a box splits at the same time with the roller parallel with the torso?
kinkymisspinky
19-01-2007, 16:35
Hams are seated in pike position. Adductors are prone like a plank with one leg abducted to about 90 degrees and the roller perpendicular to the leg.
Bear in mind I'm using a very skinny roller - its slightly skinnier than a can of deodorant. Try using a can of deodorant in those positions and see if you can get any depth.

Ah right, get a proper sized roller then, 6"

I already have one. I feel nothing with it. The only thing its good for it thoracic spinal mobility work. Hence my original question regarding progressions.

I very much doubt that, is it very old by any chance? If not, you'll need to get a harder one, which are normally blue.
Got 3 Cryogels left to go.PM if u want 1.

many many thanks tone!
I've just tried the green, rubbed into my chest.
Total upper body FREEZE! Very strange sensation.
Will report on its effects in calming DOMS.
Cheers Tone - will report back when i've given it ago

Really...? I tried the purple one and all I felt was a very light tingle. I'll have to give the green one a go.
Yep. It took about 5 minutes for the cold feeling to kick in..
From my own usage the green seems to be the strongest,plus it does affect different people in different ways....

have tried the blue one. made me go nice and cold but i got used to it quickly. seems alright. helped with the pain, made it more or less not noticeable.
kinkymisspinky
27-01-2007, 01:04
Green one is slightly more tingly but I did use the whole lot in one go so dunno if that made a difference. Reckon I've been sent lube by mistake.
Huh,try to do something nice for someone....^ :016:
I've used the green now. Felt the same as the purple.
They calm DOMS very slightly whilst the cold sensation is an action.
Used the Deep blue one, thought it was ok in terms of cooling, however it brought out some bruising very nicely - prob the arnica extract.
Yesterday got my g'friend to use the one with Lavendar extract on my serverly sore neck and sho's from rugby - felt noticebly stronger in cooling effect and penetration, provided some good immeadiate relief from the tightness, cetainly feeling less sore today too.
Give the green a bash soon - the one with green tea and aloe I think, I'll defo be getting a tube of some sort in the near future. Thanks again Tone.
No worries,glad it worked for you.I swear by the stuff,it seems to make a big difference when my back hurting/stiff.Best thing is to do it after a shower or bath,that is supposed to help the effects too.
after doms in upper back/shoulders/neck for all of wednesday and thursday i was worried about a heavy shoulder workout yesterday so Mrs chi kindly massaged the menthol sachet of cryogel into me last night............feel fine this morning :) :) :) cheers Tone! :038:
I just got cryogel on my balls. It's not very fun.
I'm not gonna ask how......
I was rubbing some gel on my groin due to DOMS from Monday's squatting and then I must've scratched them or something. Feels like my balls are in Antartica.
As a matter of curiosity who now uses Cryogel?I already did and I know Andy/Pikeking does?Who else?

I'd heard people talking about it, not sure when.
I also use it as an alternative to mint sauce.. Simply squirt a bit out add some chopped nettles and hey presto !!

cheers for the sample! :)
I sorta considered buying some, but never got around to it.
I bought some after you sent me a sample Tone, useful for bumps after rugby.
