you posted this question in 4 other areas...

do not repeat the same question in different forums, people will answer your question if they want to and it will be best if all answers are in ONE thread.

Ok, so no lock then???


Muscle stimulators are ok for physical therapy after trauma or an injury, but not for actually building muscle or anything like that...

No need for a lock, no TOS violation... just repeated posting.
Locked the other 5 down and left this one open in the most appropriate forum for discussion.

In response to origional question: I've used them before while injured witha broken ankle but nothing beats free weights and a bench

It's good for preventing atrophy (as others have stated) because it stimulates the muscle. To cause hypertrophy the muscle has to be broken down, and the kind of electrical force that would required to match the breakdown of muscle tissue after a heavy work out would probably kill you.
