Hi,

well, i know bruce lee used these machines, but since then , i guess they have come a long way ( or maybe not, it doesnt matter ) , the question is, do they work ?

What are the advantage / disadvantage of using them ?

Can you gain muscle or lose fat , or tone or , what ? is it just good for rehabilitation ? or good for strenghtening ? or building muscle ?

Im thinking of adding this type of workout to my regular workout, for abs and
 
I heard they stink. I think it's like a lot of the ads for little machines on tv..."rock hard abs in two minutes a day" or "lose five inches in a month" without working out.
There's just no substitute for the body adapting to stressors.
 
well, obvioulsy there is some "hype" marketing schemes, but my friend has one and sure u could do it for 2 mins, but the way it works is that it gives 2 types of shocks , and it contract ure muscles for a few sec , it changes types waits, go again, you leave it on for 30 min, the intensity vary during that time period... has anyone ever tried it ?
 
For muscle building, it is a waste of time. There may be some uses for it with regards to rehab but if you are bodybuilding, you obviously won't have to worry about that kind of rehab.
