Electric muscle stimulation devices

Please explain how your body does this?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toning_exercises

Toning exercises are physical exercises that aim to develop a physique with a large emphasis on musculature. There is no single exercise to "tone." The best way to tone is to utilize aerobic exercise to reduce body fat and perform weight resistance exercise to build muscle. Performing a combination of such exercises can be referred to as toning.

Not sure if it makes a difference but most EMS devices have seperate programmes for toning and strength enhancing.

Muscle growth and fat loss is not simultaneous.

Please tell me I am being trolled, no one can seriously be this dense



Yeha thankyou for repeating what I already said 30 minutes ago

I'm sorry what?

Strength ENHANCING??


LMFAO!

Tell me my dear idiot/troll what exactly do you think gets a body strong A ) deadlifts ranging from 120-400KG or B ) some lazy, half-assed EMS crap that is designed and marketed so clueless idiots/trolls like yourself buy it?

I am going to with my muscles and say deadlifts help me. YAY!

If this is only a student forum talking about education then there wouldn't be a fitness section. I can also call you lazy for directing me to another forum instead of doing that yourself.

I directed you to Google Scholar a search engine that provides scientific studies - and you judge that as lazy? The fitness section is for education as well, there is such a thing as sports science you know!


And no your assumptions are not accurate. You're just being deluded. I never said I intend to use EMS as a substitute to the gym yet you keep thinking I am.

At no point have I said you are using it as a substitute to the gym - as such this is a redundant point.

And your so-called control measure is the same for both exercising and using EMS. There's no difference. You still can measure your weight, body fat/muscle ratio etc. If you really can't measure if EMS works or not then I can also say you can't measure if going to the gym works.

That is not how exercise is measured in its effectiveness! And if you learn to read I stated that people on here will not have accurate control measures - however there are likely tests on Scholar that have hence my directing you to it.

It makes a huge difference whether you used EMS or not. Sounds like you're simply not open to the idea of someone using EMS instead of the gym. Whether it works or not you'll trash it off as useless.

No it does not, if it did top athletes would use it would they not? Yet surprise surprise they do not use them as there is no conclusive research to suggest it is actually effective.

I think the person with larger and more lean muscles is stronger. Both deadlifts and EMS is designed to reach the same outcome. Since you and I haven't used EMS before we don't know if someone using EMS can be just as strong as someone deadlifting 400KG.

You can say I'm a bit clueless but I'm not naive enough to claim EMS is useless because deadlifting looks cooler than getting shocked by electricity. Apparently 20 minutes of EMS is equivalent to 200 pushups. This was mentioned in one of Bruce Lee's documentary. Either it's true or he was paid to say this.

Erm, I dont need to try EMS to know its useless because people like you believe it it and start spouting uter garbage and call the likes of Matt griff 'clueless'. Hint he can bench more than you can deadlift and whats more Bruce Lee did lifting himself.

What do you think caused him to suffer his terrible injury?

Sitting on his flat eating cheerios with his uber EMS pack or failing to warm-up properly and performing a set in a lift which had severe consequences later on.

ooooh I dont know, maybe he got so fat his chair collapsed and he buckled his spine?

For all I care you can pretend to keep thinking that EMS is good for replacing the likes of deadlifts because you will stay the **** away from people in gyms that actually want to get somewhere and 2, you help the economy by keeping products like this in circulation.

You really are stupid good sir.

First of all I never called 'the likes of Matt' clueless good sir. And how can you be so sure this Matt can bench more than I can deadlift when you know nothing about me and possible him? Your assumptions are way off the mark good sir. You can keep pretending people in gyms want to 'get somewhere' and people using EMS don't if you feel like it, but keep that opinion to yourself good sir.

Well here is a competition bench press of mine from the Global Powerlifting Congress 2008 World Championships, my opening lift of 230kgs



You're up bub, lets see your deadlift????

Opinions are free to be expressed here, granted they are likely to be taken apart but they can be expressed all the same.
Harry and I oft don't see eye to eye, but we are very much on the same page here as this kit is nonsense for an able bodied person.

Thats because i can be ignorant How tall are you matt? I always need to get 1 set off before I am happy with my foot position as I am 6ft 3".
