I haven't been able to work out hard in over 20yrs. I was a power lifter in high school & one year in The Army. I used one of the currently available systems similar to the one you are showing here & on the 2nd day of use, it has already made a difference bringing old muscle back to life instead of building more which I don't really need.
That's because a TENS machine sends electrical shocks to your nerves in order to trick you into thinking that you now have less pain. It's helps, but it's not the solution. Find a good chiropractor and you'll regain your life, believe me. Hope you get better brother 💪
Many cant do crunches, i used these in the 90s when first ones hit market and they worked wonderfully the rapid speed pulses burned and caused vast changes in blood fllow. Using the slow strength setting, it massively increased ab and arm miscle sizes and left me sore. I used it until the electrode went bad and cant wait for a new vital flex core to come in. @morrisboris6877
I couldnt do crunches the first few times I did them either. You have to keep at it. In no time, you'd be getting abs. The problem is that most people want instant results. That's just not reality.
@@morrisboris6877 I can't do ab workouts with results. I did a strict workout for my abs, biceps, forearms, and legs. I saw results in all over 3 months except abs. I kept reading on solutions and everyone is saying "abs are made in the kitchen" So I lost tons of weight and went underweight, I have too little fat. No abs. I can do 100 situps, I can do inclined no problem, my core strength is great, no abs. They wont reveal and I look skinny fat. it takes tooooo long to workout now because doing 100 situps takes too much time. SO I gave up after 5 months. Done and killing abs made me kill it all. All I want it a flat stomach, not a 6 pack. If a machine can do it, then I am happy. I hate planks, the only workout I have done that I actively hate.
I had a unit that had many cables and individual pads of variuos sizes you could attach. This was back in the late 90s. And yes it did work! I gained like 15-20 lbs of solid muscle with it. I would do a routine like the Charles Atlas style exercies, but the electro shocks made it extra intense.
I got these on every single day, nothing happens. Im a mailman, need these for “rehab”. Got neck, shoulders, backs, thighs pains for years. And you know what, still jn pain till today. Good luck on getting “rip off”.
@@morrisboris6877 Not me as of being sarcastic but theres a picture of Bruce that it looks like he was editing Game of Death. Also in several interviews of actors that worked with him saying that he was wearing some electric artifact that prodeces electric impulses when they asked Bruce what was that for he replied "is the equivalent of doing push ups". You need to investigate yourself instead of asking me traying to put me in ridiculous.
@@morrisboris6877 In the movie Dragon, the actor Jason Scott Lee does that electric stimulation that Brice just to do back when he was alive... the video title here in You Tube is The use of EMS - Jason Scott Lee in Dragon: The Bruce Lee story, look for it. And stop being a jerk.
The first settings are massage and warm up, plus warming down and massage after the initial 3rd setting upwards. So 5mins Massage, 5mins warm up then 20 to 30mins of the actual training settings, then as the start but in reverse. When I first did it I went staight at it, and had serious ab ache/pain after 😂.
Don’t care about getting ripped I’ve had seven back surgeries didn’t really make it a whole lot better however, can’t do situps can’t lift weights can’t run many many things I can’t do and at 65 years old my 270 pounds that had muscle involved is now 220 pounds and The muscles are pretty much melted into the rest of the flesh. Will this increase my core strength and my arms and legs as if I use it on a regular basis over long period of time?
no it won't. you need to lose weight by doing cardio. the best thing for core strength is doing suspension training. the next best are planks and army crawls. plus, it will depend on what you mean by core. lots of so-called experts have no idea what the core is and they like to yell "engage that core". what's a core? How do i engage it?
Looking for ones for my spine. Neck back etc. Bedbound alot with spine problems and can't exercise. Stretching mostly I can do. Wireless be great. Great review videos and enjoy Bob and Brad's videos. Cheesy at times but still good. Probably the most cheesy physiotherapists on the internet in my opinion ofcourse 😆
Hi. It's been 3 years since you posted your comment. I too have a spine problem due to a failed spinal fusion surgery. I'm wondering if you had any luck finding a good EMS device. I hope you see this post! Thanks 😊
the machines i got advise against using them on the neck, as the electric current can zap your brain. very bad idea for the spine. i was placing the electrodes on my back. one was placed on the spine and the pain was excrutiating. you can place the electrodes on the muscles that are way from and which support the spine.
Im not sure this would even be effective on someone with a lot of fat. Fat goes above muscle, so it might insulate making it harder for signals to reach the muscle. But what do I know? Im no doctor
I like that it reminds me that my stomach is there and I drive for work so I perform isometric along with it or in a spot I’m having trouble with growth ie. Inner bicep outer lower chest
You would have to contact the actual manufacturer of the product, this is not one of our products, just one we reviewed to better help the public decide if it would be right for you!
I have an artificial right elbow and restricted to only occasionally lifting 10 lbs with right arm because of wear in joint and threat of it breaking. I am wondering if this willbhelp with development of right bicep? Also, because I can't lift weights to work out my chest, I wonder if these can be used to try to help with the limited toning I can achieve? So glad you covered this! Thanks!
Electric stimulation isn’t recommend on metal joint replacements. Not sure what you artificial elbow is made out of?! So be cautious if you’re putting it near your elbow joint.
@@TheBobBradCrew thanks! I was thinking about on the bicep itself but I think that might be even too close because my arm is thinner because of lack of use in the same way as the left (though I do workouts. For pectoral muscle stimulation, I think I will reach out to them If I do purchase, does that link give you a referral kickback? I will make to use, if yes!
If your artificial elbow is made of ceramic, you might be able to lift weights. Best to discuss this with your doctor or therapist. People with replacement hips, made from ceramic, are told by doctors to exercise and work out at the gym. As Alex/Mike said, don't use the muscle stimulator on the bicep, as screws are used to attach the artificial elbow. They will act like lightning rods and draw the current and burn your muscle tissues.
It might not be the audio. I was talking to a guy on the phone and it sounded like he was on a speaker phone. Met him in person and he sounded exactly like that.
@@TheBobBradCrew I will say that Ab Stim with an EMS unit has done wonders for me, but I am 70 and desperately fighting the sarcopenia+old age degeneration war. Once you have a defined six-pack (and I do) this approach is great for keeping it with less ab-work in the gym. There is some (loose) science behind it, but I have yet to see confirmation that EMS will give you a ripped body when you do not already possess it. Should be no surprise that all the models showing off the products are pretty ripped and they did not get that way with these machines.
Not everything need to be based on science. 1. Lots of TH-camrs claim what they're saying is based on science and don't/won't/can't back it up. 2. Take, for example, traditional Chinese medicine.

@rafaeltavares6928 oddly enough, that's what happened. Worked out great.
I hate that you aren't trying it for two months and showing actual results, so you keep just saying, "I think", "I think" "I think"...

You can easily develop abs in 2 weeks by doing crunches every 2nd day. If it takes two weeks with that contraption, you're a fool for using it.

How would you get muscles from it the next day ? Make more serious tests. These were too biaised.
They never said that
Red t shirt guy I know ur not getting paid to advertise it but dam u can at list be optimistic
yeah the bias is strong with that one.
Weren't you listening? Red shirt guy was all for it. Blue shirt guy was the one against it.
Tried one of these today. It was very painful and it was on the lowest zap setting.
Thank you for letting us know! It should not be painful, so we wouldn't recommending using it if it is. There could be something wrong with it.
Could be. Who knows. I have well developed abs from doing crunches and whatnots. Could be the brand.
Is it bad to shock your shock?
That thing can't beat going to the gym and grunt, sweat, and fart.
LOL, that's great too!!

Actually, Mike aka red shirt guy talked specifically about that. He said exactly what you said.
Very valid point!
That is good for pain
I had an injury and they used this stimulation for pain.
I think it works well for that
Haven't tried getting ripped yet😊
I like that it reminds me that my stomach is there and I drive for work so I perform isometric along with it or in a spot I’m having trouble with growth ie. Inner bicep outer lower chest

You can try the pec deck, if your gym has one, to develop your chest. No pressure will be put on the artificial elbow.

The one I have shuts off after 20mins
some models do, some don't
We only tried this one brand.

Were you even listening to who said what? Red shirt was giving all the positives about it.
Thanks for watching!
Canadian eh?
?
Bro my pump is masive lol

If you think that a mind contraction of your abs by electric shock will give you defined abs, you deserve to have your money taken away from you
LOL
Kind of a wishy washy review. Mike sounded like he's really for it, Alex was not so into it.
Opinions vary!
Haha that is slightly terrifying

I’d prefer to workout and not give myself shock therapy 😂 its doesn’t “hurt” but a controlled electrical impulse feels odd at times.

Thank you for your suggestion.
