Rep Rub: From Shoulder Pain to Performance

It started with pain.

For months, I struggled with a nagging shoulder injury. It got so bad I couldn’t even throw a ball for my dog without wincing and it was holding me back in the gym too. I tried stretches, creams, and supplements, but nothing really worked.

That’s when I started looking into natural remedies, and one kept popping up again and again: cabbage leaves.

Across cultures European, Asian, Hispanic people have sworn by crushed cabbage leaves to ease pain and swelling in muscles and joints. At first, it sounded too simple to be real. But I dug deeper and found that science backs it up.

  • Cabbage is loaded with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients.

  • A 2016 clinical trial showed cabbage leaf wraps reduced pain and improved mobility in people with knee osteoarthritis.

  • A 1993 study found mothers who used cabbage leaves experienced less breast pain and could breastfeed longer.

In other words, what generations have known for centuries is finally being proven: cabbage really does fight inflammation.

So I began experimenting with it myself. I crushed cabbage, made an at-home rub, and tested it on my shoulder. The results were undeniable my pain eased, my recovery improved, and I was able to train again.

Friends at the gym noticed. Athletes wanted to try it. And that’s when it hit me: if this worked for me, maybe it could help others too.

The Birth of Rep Rub

What began as a homemade experiment turned into a formula I couldn’t live without. I refined it, concentrated the cabbage extract, and combined it with other powerful botanicals.

The result is Rep Rub a pre-workout balm designed to:

  • Warm up your muscles before you lift

  • Enhance your mind-muscle connection for better performance

  • Support faster recovery so you can train harder, more often

Powered by Nature. Proven in the Gym.

Rep Rub isn’t about shortcuts or synthetic fixes. It’s about rediscovering natural solutions that really work.

Today, I’m fully recovered from my shoulder injury, and Rep Rub has become part of my daily training routine. From lifters and athletes to anyone chasing better performance, this balm is proof that sometimes the simplest ingredients hold the most power.

It all started with pain, a little curiosity, and the unlikely hero that’s been quietly healing for centuries: cabbage.
