Electronic Muscle Stimulator (Tens Unit)
Do they work for muscle growth? Anyone use them for training?
I got one prescribed for my lower back injury and it has been helping me these past few weeks. Since I have been out of the gym and curious/bored I have been messing around with putting the pads on different muscle groups. I did not notice a single thing in till I put them on my biceps. I have never had a sicker pump, and it took four days for my arms to fully recover. I did it again yesterday and had to write this post because I am sore as hell again.
I know this can not replace lifting, but I swear I feel like had the best bicep workout ever.
Anyone involve EMS in their routine? Am I sore from fast contractions/twitching or just wasting batteries?
