don't bother - search for a study from Univ. of Wisconsin-LaCrosse - 40 people I think used these, 40 people didn't gain s**t........



One link to a short version of the study - there are more -

heh I think the study has to do with the ones that have the little pads.

Anyway, I'd be careful because all the cheap ones use cheap aluminum foil as a backing and break after like 5 uses. Grr...I had to send one back for replacement.

Yes I'm a sucker for lazy stuff like this although I try to work out normally too lol.

But honestly, I don't think it's worth it, since the first one will just break really quickly and you'll have to use the 2nd one lol.

I think these actually work btw, but do require you to strap it on every day, although it's easy to strap on and watch tv...just make sure you have plenty of gel or you'll get burned

It will work if combined with a lean diet and 100 situps a day.

LOL, look at the "research references"... on the site itself the claims are in BIG PRINT, but the bizarrely vague sources are in tiny print... of course, cutting and pasting it into this post made all the text the same size. too funny:


A study involving 114 women ages 18-48 confirmed that electronic stimulation INCREASES STRENGTH.

Medical journal article
June 9 1996

On the average, control group strength increased by 2%, isometric group 18%, and the group using ELECTRONIC STIMULATION INCREASED STRENGTH BY 22% over a 5 week period based on 10-15 minutes a day.

Research study published
April 1983

Even the mildest contraction, lasting only THREE TENTHS of a SECOND, will register some increase in blood flow.
