OH wow!

Have any of you guys ever used a TENS unit before? Man... My brother bought one, and he showed it to me... damn, this thing is crazy! You apply it to a muscle(not the neck or near the heart, of course). He put it on my biceps, and started going through the different modes.

The feeling of it as it sends the electrical impulses through your muscles making it contract and relax, is just intense! Its not quite like a workout, but more like muscle stimulation and therapy... The highest mode on it, my arm was jerking around involuntarily, and after he turned it off and removed the patches from my arm, my arm was still jerking for a few minutes afterwards.

CRAAAAAZY.

Tell me if your experience with these things!

There was actually an episode on "Dead Like Me" (see sig) where a bunch of these things starting killing people by burning them to death with out of control electrical impulses.

So best of luck!
 
yeah i played with one b4, put one of the electo pad thingy's on the top of my hand and like all my fingers went crazy, its intense lol
 
Haha, reminds me of Robin William's stand-up...

"And I put it on my forehead and turned it on... 'I... won't... buy... stupid... shit... anymore!'"

Cost 90 bucks my bro said... the one he got. And its powerful.
 
I heard that shit doesn't do anything but give you sore muscles.
 
I heard it makes you impotent.
And gay.
And female.

I think my bro got it to relax. WHen it was put on me, I started using it to feel the shocks go through my muscles... It was a crazy feeling.
 
I have actually tried one, but I never had the nerve to turn it all the way up. I think 6/10 was my limit, otherwise I would probably have (involuntarily) punched myself in the face.
 
We tried one of these on my friend for a joke and a pretty high setting. Suffice to say he couldn't take it.
 
They're always on TV Shop.

Complete and utter bullshit. They're useless.
 
ive had to use one for physical therapy before. i tore the lateral meniscus in my knee during soccer training and had to go to physical therapy almost every day in the summer. they would place one above my knee and i would do small weight training while it jolted my muscle. i hated it.

Haha, which Robin Williams stand-up was that? Live on Broadway?
 
We used to have one, tried it a couple of times, then realised I would actually feel better about myself if I actually went and did the exercise, without having electric shocks do it for me.

It's very uncomfortable and doesn't feel rewarding at all.
 
My friend had something like this he got from a hospital. I'm not sure if it's the same, but he used to put it on his face. That was funny.
