Ive been looking out for new things to try out other than the basic supplements (protein, creatine, amino acids, etc) to improve my overall performance.
I started with supplements about a year ago and it gave me a huge boost initially, but I plateaued after some time. Recently I bought knee wraps for squatting and it improved significantly my posture and made me more confortable.
Now I've been looking out for something else and found out about EMS and/or TENS units. Compex is one of the biggest brands around, and according to them you can "create muscle" and recover from a good training with this device.
Has anyone tried this thing? is it worth it? In Colombia they cost around 3=4 times the american price so I want to know if its worth all the trouble of buying and importing it.
I would use it as a replacement for stretching, since I am the laziest person at doing so. Nothing better than a few minutes while browsing the web or watching a movie.
pd. I used this thing in a tournament a few weeks ago. It seemed pretty cool and all but i don't know if it actually worked.
