The Best Device for Electrical Muscle Stimulation

Hey, this is Ben Greenfield. I thought you'd like this little clip of my latest podcast. So, Electrical Muscle Stimulation. Electrical muscle stimulation is something that has a lot of good research behind it for improving power, improving strength, recruiting new muscles that you might otherwise not have recruited, and even maintaining fitness when you are injured or when you're unable to train the way that you would normally train. The Cadillac of electrostim units that sits in the office in my office right here behind me, and I use this about once per week. It's called a nubi. A NUBI N E U B I E. And that stands for neurobioelectric stimulator. It provides a DC current and it matches the signals that the nervous system already sends on its own. Now, just about any other electrical stimulation device out there uses ac, so an alternating current is cheaper and easier to engineer. But a DC current can literally simulate hundreds of pounds of, let's say a squat or, or a deadlift or anything else. I mean, you use this thing and I'll admit you get a little sore after you use it. Like my delayed onset muscle soreness lasts like four or five days after I do a full body workout with this thing. But in my opinion, as far as a biohack for EMS electrical muscle stimulation, nothing comes close.
