    Is that basically one of those GymForm belts that make your muscles contract converted into a suit?

    Here is what is said about it on the website
    The essence of the method is that contraction of muscles is not realised by lifting weights or dumbbells, but through the usage of electric current, which causes directly the muscles to work. In EMS we employ the amperage in micro-Ampere range. This special training can achieve so intensive muscle contraction in the stimulated muscle that it can represent much more efficiency than classical (traditional) endurance training programs.



    Impulses affecting the muscles

    The frequency of impulses (measured in Hertz) shows the number of individual impulses which affect the musculature during muscle contraction. During the training 4-second stimulating periods and rest intervals alternate.


    • 7 Hz: 7 muscles contract in 1 second. Beneficial effects: enhancement of metabolism and blood circulation
    • 85 Hz: 85 muscles contract in 1 second. Beneficial effect: optimal stimulation for skeletal musculature.
    • 100 Hz: 100 muscles contract in 1 second. It can be beneficially used in the field of pain attenuation.

    I remain sceptical.

    I suppose though that the higher you go up the competitive ladder the more willing you have to be to seize something that might give you a competitive advantage.

    Good luck Roddy.

    Yea Roddy says in the video that his hands feel faster hitting pads after, maybe they are faster or maybe it just seems that way

    I wonder if any UFC fighters are using it
