Electronic Muscle Stimulation?

[nasigoreng]

Has anyone had any experience with Electronic Muscle Stimulation (EMS)?

It is used by most chiropractors for physical therapy but is it a safe way to develop a muscular physique?

I looked up this very question awhile ago and the skinny is that, no, electrical stimulation to seriously build muscle is a fraud

theraputic

I spoke to my doctor about them at one time. He's an avid weight lifter and he told me that those machines can be theraputic, but won't build any muscle mass.

Some people who have broken a limb or are imobilized can maintain some of there muscle density by using the electric stimulation, but no gain will be made. Any company that claims to build muscle is usually using one of these patients as their endorsesment.

I've had them used several times on my back, and while relaxing afterwards, I've noticed no great effect on myself. So far nothing has replaced sweat and a good work out for muscle.

Those EMS machines do work but should only be used while injured. As I have said before EMS machines are a panzies way out.

These exercises are better for you:

Leg raises
Rolling leg raises
Turtle Crunch
Knees up Crunch

Hope this helped.

i used this and noticed an increase in strength. but the increase went away as easily as i acquired it. a waste of time for anyone serious about increasing strength

True

Time.....Also money.

Ive said it, others have said and I'll say it again. There a panzies way out and there a bunch of crap.

They do that in "Jackass: The Movie"

It looked like it really, really hurt bad. But you can't always tell with those idiots

What Schizo really wants to ask is "Do they do electric underpants to increase the size of his knob muscle".

Mind you, even an over sized he-man like me would wear them.......if they vibrated!

I injured my back in competitive rowing when I was in school. The trainer hooked that thing up to my lower back and then switched it on. Apparently he hadn't had enough coffee or something that morning and didn't notice that the thing was turned up. The first jolt made the muscles in my lower back clench up tighter then hell, my body involuntarily spasmed causing me to look like I was trying to form the letter "U" on my stomach and my faced scrunched up from the pain like I was trying to squeeze a basketball out of my ass. OUCH!!!
