  Has anyone used muscle stimulator devices for strength training?

  I was wondering if anyone has used muscle stimulators as part of their strength training regimen? If so how often do you use them and what have been your results?

  Muscle simulators? To my best knowledge they are not much for actual strengthening but more for people who are coming out of long periods of inactivity. I have never read anywhere where they are used by able bodied people nor do I believe that they will have any benefit. An electrical impulse will never take the place of actual strength training. If it did we would all be lazy sitting on our asses and have rock hard bodies.

  Same here
  Scientific finding do not support any improvement with healthy individuals using MSD’s for extended periods of time.
  May be using it as a recovery tool but building strength no data provided

  Thanks for the responses. I saw a couple of articles about it and was curious.
