Electro-Stimulation???

[Anji]

Unfortunately I found myself in a new Gym this mouth for professional reasons.
I don’t known if I can call that a gym more a Fitness club With pretty chics, a couple of boys preparing to the summer time, all new Tech Gym machinery… conclusion I almost cry seeing that ridiculus place comparing with my sweet old school gym..

But talking about the thread I see in this Fitness club for the very first time the electro- stimulation, basically they give you some electro shock to stimulate the muscle grow..

In my opinion it’s a silly think to lazy boys, I want to ear your opinion if you now this guys…

I just asked my chiropractor this yesterday! The muscle stimulation is not the same because you are not doing the work on the muscle by contracting it. It doesn't stimulate muscle growth, it stimulates muscle relaxation, thats why they use it in rehab.
