[dicedgunz]

hey does anyone have any info on these things. it's the little pads you put on abs or chest then you can turn up the volts going to it. what are they called and has anyone had any luck or info on them. figured might try one for when sitting around the house or something.

Its been proven that this does not work for muscle hypertrophy (new muscle growth). In other words, it doesn't work.

the medical units used for your back say in a chriopractors office, are called "tens machines" or "tens unit"

Dont waste your money. No offense, but these things are for people who think they can go the easy route to losing abdominal fat and get a sixpack. There is no easy route, besides surgery, for losing fat and building muscle.

OMG they are still trying to sell these to people.... HAHA

technically, since they help prevent muscle loss in coma patients, wouldn't it be ideal for those in shape to skip work outs and just put them on? or perhaps i'm mistaken...

i'm not looking for the easy way out.i love my cardio and traiing abs. just thought i'd look into it for when at night i'm sitting around to put them on abs or chest or somethinhg late night before bed. thanks

They are for rehab and to keep muscle you have, but will not GROW muscle.
