Electric muscle.

[herm]

Yeah, I bought this.

http://www.bodyshapers.com/

Just bought a $579 unit from there.

Haven’t got it yet.

But if it’s good enough for Lee Haney
And Bruce Lee, it’s good enough for me.

If this piques your interest go to this link
And scan down to where it says:

EMS for body builders.

Why do I get the feeling I’m going to get the usual:
“Hermy, you’re wasting your money” Again?

I’m an old jew, I need any edge I can get.


Regards,


Herm “The Electrifried” Worm

You should have just sent me the money, or gone to a strip club.

Yeah.......could I go as well?

In other words...I do not think that machine will give you any results, just my humble opinion.

[TripX]

I've heard they can have some effect on recovery, but it's not proven.

Strip clubs are cool.

Herm WTF.....

Will it hurt???????

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahha!!!!!

I actually bought it for my shoulder injury.

My chiropractor used a more heavy duty version of it.

But while researching the device, I read that it might
have uses re: building muscle.

So I said to myself "Self, I wonder if the muscleheads
at SW.com have heard of said device?"

Then I thought.

"Nah, I'll probably get ridiculed."

Yesiree. whatever. It's all good.

Yeah, I'm kind of bummed now.

Sinjin pretty much ruined it for me when he
suggested I shouldn't put it on my balls.

But hey. On the bright side...

He didn't say anything about not using it on my d*ck!

Scha-wing!

We use muscle stimulation in the ICU to prevent wasting in some cases as loss of muscle leads to worsening immunity. Orthopedic guys use it after some procedures and it is used in rehab. The device causes the muscle to fire, but lacks the ability (without a higher amperage and voltage--but that is damaging) to cause a great deal of recruitment and thus for muscle building it isn't going to give you great results as high resistance would. That being said, since the muscle is firing, what you have is a automated calorie burning system. I have some data around somewhere which indicates the calories burned based on muscle units stimulated. But as for muscle building---I think you'll be disappointed.

Thanks.

As I said, I bought it for therapy for my ruined,
deformed, still-healing AC shoulder joint.

Any muscle building from said Apparatus would
have only been gravy.

Guess I'll have to use the old fashioned, tried and
true, lift-until-blood-comes-out-of-your-ears method.

It never fails.

Thanks,

Herm

Unfortunately there are little shortcuts to build muscle---especially as you age.

Granted.

In fact, I think there are no shortcuts
to anything worthwhile in life.

I wholeheartedly agree.

However...

Having owned this contraption for about two
weeks now, I can tell you I am one happy camper
as to it's use on sore muscles/recuperation.

It's a nice little luxury, if you're a fitness/muscle
fanatic as we all are.

I also can't say enough good things about
this thingamajig, too:

Not only is it great on sore muscles, but you can use it to
message the back of your significant other.

My wife asks to be "thumped" by it almost every night.

BTW, this is not s sex toy and should not be used as such. Seriously.
It is a very powerful machine (I can give you guys some good ones
if you want, but this ain't for that)

Herm

P.S. Regarding the "as you age part", I'll get back
to you in about 10 to 15 years when the process
begins, as I can't speak from experience.
