From triathlete mag “he climbed Mount Lemmon, ran 23 miles at a 2:50 marathon pace and used a Ryobi car buffer to massage his muscles.”
How does it work I would love to try it? Does anyone else do this or know if it works?
Looks like that might be the one to use?

I found this and few more places that say something about using it. Anyone doing it?
its a waxing machine, i can see it working for sure, it kinda bounces around and jiggles…
That is what I am thinking as well? I wonder if it will get deep enough?
I heard he uses the Hitachi Magic Wand for smaller jobs…
i have a simoniz one ive never used, i will try it tonight!
There’s a place in town (Boulder) called All Sports Recovery that has MVP boots, ice bath, cold laser, massage and a bunch of improvisational recovery tools like the car buffer, which is where Tim probably used it for the first time. Anyone who’s used the buffer will say it feels amazing…and it’s cheaper than a pair of compression socks, which is why I went out and bought one this summer. It has a permanent home next to my couch and I love to use it. Unfortunately, one of my dogs likes to attack it when it’s fired up and whirring…teeth marks all over the thing.
Let us know how it works. Seems like it make sense that it would loosen the muscles up.
I’ve heard belt sanders are good for removing unwanted fat…
I would electrocute myself in the shower with that thing.
So how do you use it? I saw that about All Sports Recovery in Boulder having one.

This is what I made & use. Epoxy’d chair bottom knob onto reciprocating saw/jigsaw blade. Can change out blades/knob sizes.
I’ve seen videos where they use a similar adaptation of what you have made…though they often involve phallic parts and oiled models…

Isn’t that like getting punched 120 times a minute?

This one is only a 12v battery, it feels good. Honestly it needs a tad more umph to it…but the battery powered ones are nice for travel. No outlet needed so you can hit up the legs in the transition area before the race to get the blood flowin’!
It does not really work as a massage tool, but it makes him look damn good when he pauses under a street light at night. 
thanks for the info; you wrote that it’s cheaper than a pair of compression socks, but how do you use it when you’re biking and running.
Do you tape it to your leg and plug it in at aid stations?
Sorry, couldn’t resist. thanks to all for a really cool idea
