those electric ab stimulators

I don't know if they work or not, but the theory is sound and used in Physical Therapy practice for muscle recovery of injuries. I've been through it a several times for various body parts. I read that even Bruce lee used electro stimulation for his workouts when he was crunched for time.
Follow his usage for about two weeks and see what happens with him.

What the hell? Those machines are pure gold! Ronnie Coleman uses one on regular basis. The secret of his huge back IS actually an ab-stimulator. Heheh, j/k. Just tell him that he's an idiot.

see the problem with those electric ab stimulators is that it's simply not enough. you gotta take it to the next level to see some results. whenever i go to the gym i always bring along my trusty defibrillator with the paddles that i stole from this ambulance one time. (i need a bambledance, i'm at the muthafuckin stop 'n go. muthafuckin deer in my car). so let's say it's leg day. i walk in with my towel, bottle of water, and defibrillator attached to my back. i'll warm up with a few sets of squats, and then i'll walk clear to the other side of the gym and charge that bitch up. soon as i've got a decent current running through that mofo, i grab the paddles and scream out to the other members of the gym "FUCKING CLEAR!!!" and i slam those paddles right into my magnificent quads. at this point i involuntarily go shooting across the gym at about head level of everyone else but fortunately they are ducking because i have been going to this gym for a while now and everyone knows what "clear" means when i shout it out. it means get the hell under that bench or hammer strength machine cuz i could be headed your way. so after i land, i rest for roughly 2 minutes, maybe 3 depending on how high i cranked the voltage up, and then i'll continue on with maybe 4-5 sets of these. fuck let me tell you what, by the time i get home i'm already tight. and two days later i'm walking like an incontinent penguin.

Need to hardwire into nearest nuclear reactor.
They work but not in the way many of these con artists are trying to sell them. I asked my Chiropractor about them because they used one of the professional models on my back. It will only improve conditions in a few instances:
1. Recovering from injury where a force/load on the muscle is not possible. Simple movement can accomplish this in most muscles...
2. Old or lazy fat asses at any age who have circulation issues from inactivity
3. a mild massage for a stiff muscle group-it can help eliminate waste that may have built up too -but that's not half as useful as a real massage.
There are a few more uses along those lines but that's about it. Tell him to hook it up to his temples to make his brain grow-jk
If someone thinks its a way to build muscle...hahahahahah....let them go through their experiment-and "observe" the results. Then laugh and be glad it wasn't your money.

I'm going to use a slight variation on this product to get my legs to grow some muscle.
First, I'm going to jam a lamp up my ass. Not a floor lamp, as it's too long and the angle would be all weird. Just a simple table lamp. Then I'm going to get an extension cord long enough to allow me to stand in a bathtub filled with water.
So, with the lamp up my ass and standing in a pool of water, I'll start doing squats so that every time I get to the bottom of the motion, the lamp will short out and electrocute my ass and legs, which should make me jump up pretty fast.
4 sets of 8-10.

Well, the electrical requirements are the same, but the halogen bulb burns hotter and I don't want to damage my rectum. Plus, it's pointless to have a bulb in the lamp since the desired effect is a short circuit, which bypasses the bulb. I would only have a bulb in there if someone was sitting on the crapper reading and needed some extra light. I just have to make sure I use a lamp that is firmly attached to it's lampshade. I don't want that coming off in there. It's would be a bit tough to pass.

OMG... that was some seriously funny shit... I copy and pasted it to him and if he e-mails me back and asked me where to buy a defib machine I am gonna kick his ass out of principle. I also gave him the factual responses too... He's going to the gym and all again but i think he wants too much too fast and when he told me he bought one of those I told him they would work but only if he were in a coma... explained what their original intent was and the fact they are marketed like crap... but i couldn't give him any physiological or kinesiological reasoning on why it didn't work... thanks guys.

ab stimulators do not work.
why? Muscles need a LOAD combined with contraction.
The machines only give contraction.

I don't know if a slap in the head constitutes "factual"
No resistance... no workout. Stimulation with electric isn't good for you anyway, it can cause colatteral problems with the body as well.
