TENS Unit Question

[life_is_fun]

I am currently on cycle and have read that using a TENS Unit can make a difference in muscle growth. Does anyone have any thoughts on this and what the proper timing of use would be? Does the unit really do anything that hard lifting is not going to do?
Thanks for any input.

Dunno about increasing muscle but I've used them consistently for rehab...assists with rota cuff tears etc...definately works for that though...used to go 30 - 60 mins with good results
