This stuff sounds bogus,

If you want to raise AA levels you can do it using static contraction! In a study on cats SC raised AA levels from 4.4 nmol/g to 10.3 nmol/g. Another reason to go static now and again

D. M. Rotto, K. D. Massey, K. P. Burton and M. P. Kaufman (1989) Static contraction increases arachidonic acid levels in gastrocnemius muscles of cats. Journal of Applied Physiology, Vol 66, Issue 6 2721-2724

Other than that, the research I can see hasn't looked at it as an ergogenic aid to bodybuilders at all.
