Russian Stimulators

[sizeon]

i had got a stimulator a while back that is tens, ems and russian, i read that russian is proven that it can help build strength, docs even prescribe it to prevent muscle atropy, athletes wore them during a workout, i hardley ever bothered wearin it cuz i was lazy to put the pads on, i got oneof the ones that you actually need a priscrpition for in the us, its the big block one you have to plug in or have like 8 dd's, i got it from out of country, was wondering what yalls opions on these were if you have one and have used it for a while, and more benoificial during a workout and just chilling

the electric stimulator?

its nice for building those nerve connections and help with posing.
(for example if you cannot feel a particular muscle and cannot flex it, you can use the stimulator to contract it for you so you can get a feel for how it should be done.
It is also nice as a form of isometric exercise, to improve definition precontest perhaps.

Building strength and mass with it though?
Forget about it.

I am not sure if this is true, but awhile back I asked my doc what would happen if put one of those on a muscle and then I turned it up all the way and he said it could tear the muscle off the bone...

would have to be a pretty powerful stimulator to do anywhere near that


i used tons of those things tbh and as i said they are great for isometric contractions, some of them can be pretty painful even, especially if used in places like your abs as you can get a very strong isometric contraction.
Just think of it as flexing the muscle as hard as you can and holding it, only those things can flex it even harder.

on low intensity i have heard that it can provide some of the benefits of massage

I wonder if it could be used to help distribute SEO's post injection if as stated above it can be like a massage.

that is a good assumption, sure it contracts the muscle and gets blood flowin

Ill take your word on that one bro. Im about to buy one of these stimulators. Are they really worth it? I spend a good amount of time studying, and I wouldnt mind having one of these babies hooked up to maybe my abs or something...
