Has anyone tried the ab energizer?

The belt that suppose to work like you are doing sit ups.What do you think,a scam or does it work.

I'm think those things are a load of shit! Maybe they could help for recovery by massaging the muscles, but not to build them. I'd also like to hear some people's thoughts on this shit though.

BTW, my friend ordered one the other night when he was shitfaced...And he's quitting drinking because of it! That's how dissappointed he is with is. He's only used it a few times, but I thought that was funny.

But seriously, I know some guys in here say they don't even train their abs. Could it possibly work just to help get a little definition? Obviously not as a replacement for cardio and diet, but as added assistance?

Just curious,

IMO, anyone who uses that shit is a total LAZY ASS!!! Someone who wants to sit at home and not put any work into getting the abs that they want. The science behind it is good, but there are better muscle simulators out there. Get off of the couch and get to work!!!

What I like is how one commercial shows a device that "electronically" exercises the muscles, anbd the next one "electronically" massages the muscles... Hmmmmm, either one of them is shit, or both of them are full of it. I figure that if you are lazy and dumn enough to buy one, it serves you right if it doesn't do what they say it does!! Just my .02 is all. I'm done

I'd say if you are hell-bent on not doing abs...then this would be better than nothing.

But I think those Electronic Muscle stimulators are made more for the smaller supporting muscles, not large muscles like the abdominals.

When I had shoulder surgery, those EMS machines were part of my rehab program, before I moved on to light weight training. I think that was just to strengthen the core shoulder muscles, not to strengthen my delts or anything like that.

complete gimmick!

there is no substitute for proper diet, training, cardio!

Thanks for the reply, Bulldog. That's what I was looking for. An unbiased comment with good information. Much appreciated.
