I agree with your review - I used to do my own scraping after reading about it. Unfortunately, after using it repeatedly and doing it poorly (eg, scraping way too deep - leaving a hole that filled up with pus and left a nasty scar, and over-doing it - going too far - and ending up with blisters and/or fissures) there isn't much that I can do. As you stated, it may not be for everyone.

Do muscle scraping tools work?
I just got a set of scraping tools and when I use it to scrape my skin does it work?
I mean is there any substance left on my skin? Or I might look like a zombie walking around. Thanks for the help! :) My experience with them is that you can get them to work but they are pretty much a gimmick for cleaning dirt from your skin. They come in handy for those times when you are trying to scrub your skin clean to remove all the product residue, but they aren't really designed to clean your skin.
The whole reason we use exfoliators is because we want the product to dry and rub off. Using these tools will just be a waste of time because there is no product to get off.
If you use these types of tools you may end up with a residue build up from the friction and rubbing of the tool against your skin. The residue will be fine and if you don't wash your skin for a couple of days it should clear up just fine.
I would recommend using a wet washcloth to clean your skin. It will be much better and less irritating to your skin. Also, since the residue from your skin is going to be so thin, it isn't going to have a strong adhesive to attach itself to your clothes.
In my experience, the only reason why they worked at all is because I was using them on the softest part of my skin - the back of my neck. With my hands I can't even get them to budge. I guess they work well when you are cleaning off your scalp or something.
I think your best bet would be to wash your skin as much as possible while avoiding scratching your skin. A lot of people say that if you don't use soap or other chemical products you'll have to be careful about scratching your skin since you'll have all these residue buildups and you'll need to dig them out.
How long does muscle scraping take to work?
I'm 15 and have been trying for a few months now to get my body into a decent shape.
I just don't know what exercises I should be doing. The muscle that is annoying me at the moment is the adductors, but I can only exercise my triceps for a couple of days before they become sore.
I have had the most trouble with it, not so much any more though. When you're learning how to do a thing, take a while as you need to learn how to exercise correctly and safely. It took me about a year and a half to get up to playing a proper tennis game as I was also learning tennis at the same time.
But I got there. It took a while! I think you'll get your muscles to a reasonable state of health within about 4-6 weeks of regular training. When I started strength training, my muscles used to really hurt after a few weeks of light activity and so I stopped after 3 or 4 weeks, but I've heard it takes anywhere from 3-6 months to develope muscle tissue properly. When I first started strength training, I was sore for a few weeks and never managed to get myself to the gym again until I was able to ignore the pain. Now I only train when I feel like I really need to. Once you get used to the pain, I don't think it matters how long it takes you to recover.
For squats, lunges, and deadlifts, I would do a few sets of 10-15 reps. For pushups and pullups, I would do a couple sets of 10-15 reps. The key is to slowly build up to a higher number.
This might work if you're an absolute beginner to strength training but for those of us who have been doing it for a while, you can't just skip the warm-up and expect to do more reps without causing an injury. You have to build up to it gradually or you can damage yourself. I think there's a balance of what works for you, which is the key.
Does muscle scraping get rid of knots?
I had my first knot in my hamstring yesterday at the gym.
I went to my stretches, did my other stretches and I felt good enough that I went out for a jog which turned out to be almost three miles with my HR (heart rate) getting close to 170 (I wasn't trying to break anything) and it hurt to run but I did it. At the end of the run, after about 2 miles or so, I got back to the gym to stretch my hamstrings and my calves and when I pulled on my hip flexors and pulled from the calf down to the hamstrings it gave me a nasty pain in the knee, so I went to stretches (which I had been using to stretch out), and did my deep squats, push-ups, reverse curls, push-ups to shoulder width, etc., and when I was finished I did some muscle scraping. I don't know exactly how long the scraping took or how much I scraped away (it's only a guess) but I guess about an hour, because I did feel much better afterwards but I have to be more careful with the scraping as they say that it could make a bad problem worse, or that it is a sign that the tendon is not healthy or that something else was affecting it. My question is this: would all of that muscle scraping that I did get rid of the muscle knots (or the tightness in the muscles) or am I only scraping the loose parts of the muscle (or muscle group) and would I still be left with some little "knots" in my muscle that may or may not go away. I will be really honest, I don't know all the answers but I am just looking for some feedback from you guys out there.
Well first of all keep scraping until there is not one single bit of the muscle left! You'll have no "knots" left once you scrape away everything above ground and you'll definitely have no muscles sticking out of the skin! Secondly, a tight muscle can sometimes feel like a knot and your scraper should help. You'll have to experiment. Personally I do 1-2 hours of scrapping every 4-6 weeks. Sometimes it feels great and sometimes it hurts for a week or two. This is what I usually do if I get sore in the muscle. But scrapping doesn't always work. As I said you have to find out what is best for you.
