Russian Muscle Stimulator - mildly nsfw with cheesecake now

Nope Bruce Lee is the one who brought the tech to the fore-front way back in the 70's.  Watch the Bruce Lee story sometime... he's typing a book while getting the crap shocked out of him.


But keep in mind, Bruce died of a heart attack.  ;)


Shocking your body is NOT a good idea.  Voltage levels safe enough to be absorbed into the human body don't really tone anything... they are barely helpful in MAINTAINING current muscle tone in paralyzed patients.  Anything that could actually increase your tone could cause extreme nerve damage amoung other things.  

The "russian" mode says it all.  Developed for the russian olympics huh?  Keep in mind the russians also utilized steroids, heroin and pcb.  

A tens unit is a medical device.  Not nearly strong enough to do any damage... my grandma has one for her back pain.  The fact that it runs on 4 AA's should tell you how weak it is.  BUT anything stronger than that is dangerous.  

Be careful!

 Supposedly Bruce died of some drug related issue / allergy.

 I have a theory, that Lee's main problem was lack of fat.  He was so lean, that
there was no extra energy stores.  And being that he was a work-a-holic,  
using tons of calories at a time, and may not have always kept eating on schedule...
its possible his body starved itself and shut down.


 As for Electroshock, its not as dangerous as you make it seem.  The Tens mode
is plenty powerful in itself at high levels.  And the current is doing nothing much more
than what happens when you tense up.   If you feel a burn, simply turn down the
current levels and or move the pads slightly.

 Typical weight training can be just as -  if not More dangerous.  With current, you can
easily turn down the juice.  With mass, you can lose control and buckle under the
stresses... dropping the mass, and or possibly tearing your muscles right off the bones.

 Heck, the first time I went to a Wing Chun guy, he let me participate in the workout.
The guy turned out to be liar and an inexperienced tool, and didnt explain things well...
Couple that with my no-quit attitude.. and I ended up doing everything the class did.
The next day I could barely walk... and the simple act of breathing was painful.  This didnt
go away for a full month worth of healing!  So, like anything, you have to be very
careful in how fast and hard you push yourself.

 This is definitely not a replacement for mass training.  However, as said, its great
for healing, pain relief, and reaching very deep tissue that typical exercises and or
mass training do not easily reach.

 I agree you should be careful, but hey, you should be careful crossing the street too :P
I think its fairly self evident advice.

I love my tens machine.  Great for sprains and muscle aches and pains.

Except when I boob and set the tens at number 24 and end up doing a break dance. :laugh2:

Xiaou2:

 The kind of feeling you get depends on the place where you put the pads, and
the level of power you use.

 With tens/stims, you stay away from the nerves, and stick to the muscle mass.
The feeling is actually very pleasurable at low to med power levels.
