The fact remains that this gun isn’t aimed at me, and for that, I am grateful. Hypervolt supplies a lot of bang for your buck. This thing definitely isn’t designed for pleasure, but it’s no swizz either. I don’t exercise at the kind of intensity that requires athletic recovery gadgets, especially not at this price. And it’s one that runs for hours with no palpable decrease in battery. I steer clear of the tenderloin, because honestly, this thing is a velvet jackhammer. Instead, I see my boneless chuck, my beef cheek, my brisket. I start to lose recognition of the familiar shoulder, chest or thigh. I try other areas with the ball, then the bullet, noting how easy it is to become estranged from one’s own body. My calves feel tired but loose, like a couple of shanks ready for the pot. ![]() There are four attachments: a spongy ball, a bullet, a flat coin and a fork, which apply different surface pressures.

(What if the doctor says I’m not lazy – that there’s actually something wrong with me? Would that be better or worse? Immaterial. It is not intended for lazy people such as me, who rarely exercise and store all tension in their thoughts. Percussion therapy involves vibrating muscles at high speed, to stretch them out after the tightening effects of exercise, as well as loosen the connective tissues surrounding them. This has nothing to do with nervously air-drumming in a doctor’s waiting room, while you sit expecting the results of your blood test, and this review is also nothing to do with that, so stop worrying and get it together, man. It doesn’t want to be fun, though it wants to speed up muscle recovery after intense exercise, using percussion therapy. The Hypervolt (£374.99, .uk) looks sci-fi and fun like Barbarella’s gun. The Hypervolt, a name that positively screams “fragile masculinity”, is the latest product from Hyperice, a company that usually specialises in foam rollers and ice compression packs with a name that is weirdly reminiscent of Müllerice.
