View Full Version : Electonic Abs Devices
Hey Guys
I am naturally a skinny person so I dont have that much problems with fat, but I can nener get my lower abs in shape that I want. I was just wondering how powerfull are those electronic ABS devices, and if they can help. Plus I was wondering which one is the best among all of them(Fast Abs, Abtronic..) Thank you

My friends dad tried something similar to the ab thing you are talking about except he used it on his bi's. It ended up frying his muscles.....no lie
How do you mean he fried his muscles. How can you fry your muscles at all, and what did he do to it

It sends electronic shocks to your muscles forcing it to flex and he overused the thing and it fried his muscle. Imagine sticking a fork in an electrical outlet.
wow thats harsh hehe, but I dont wanna do that. i am just thinking for definition of your muscles, I am wondering can that be good. It looks good, i used something similar for my legs when I injured my knee and it worked fine

Listen man dont be trying to take shortcuts......get definitions by doing an assortment of ab excerises instead of relying on a machine to do the work for you....ya hurd me
Of course I do, I work out 4 times a week at least plus 2 times play soccer, i was only thinking about it as an add to things I do, not like a major stuff. No pain no gain

They dont' work. The companies that sell them got in trouble for false advertising. Don't waste your money.

bump to Smitty for reading the news. The best way to change your look is through your diet. To keep the metabolism pumping and the stomach flat....spread out your meals from 3-4 meals a day to 7-8. (ingesting the same total amount of food for the day) Also, even though you'll feel bloated, drinking lots of water keeps the muscles hydrated and looking their best. You'll have to piss every hour or so, but your muscles will thank you and you'll burn more fat with a flushed system.
with soccer you should make sure you're drinking tons of water.....well over a gallon/day

Electronic ab devices do not work..they are the biggest scam since bowflex.

Hey guys...I'm new to the board. It's my first post. I think those ab devices are a complete waste. Notice how muscular the people are in the commercials. The guy they show didn't get abs like that with the electronic machine. He got abs like that over years of training.
Peace.

The Ab-Slide is the key! I've been using it 5 minutes a day for a year and it's given me some ripped abs! It's pretty cheap too!

I disagree, I used my friends ab energizer belt with the 4 power cells on it. I only used it for 5 days and lost 1/2 inch on my waist and my wife was never happier. I am in great shape already but that thing really did it for my abs. just my opinion.

I must tell you of the amazing results I recieved from the two Ab Energizers I bought, (one for wifey). I had a normal, dull stomache that caused me much embarrasment. After using the Ab Energizer I had lovely bruises of a great shade of purple on my formerly boring skin! And as a side benefit I recieved a great deal of kidding from the other teachers I work with at the pool!
Thank you, Ab Energizer!! :D
