Passive muscle training with a muscle stimulator seems to be a very attractive solution for those who are lazy or have no time to work out in the gym. But it is not worth hoping for outstanding results using only the butterfly muscle stimulator for training the press.
How and how much to train the press
The desire to have a flat, toned stomach or beautiful cubes is the main motivation for people who work hard on the abs every day. Often, despite the enormous efforts made, the result leaves much to be desired. Why is this happening?
Professional athletes know that it is necessary to separately work out the abdominal muscles no more than twice a week. During training on other parts of the body, this muscle tenses, providing balance to the whole body - accordingly, it receives the necessary load.
The secret of a thin waist
By diligently pumping the abdominal muscles, there is a risk of expanding the waist even more, since the muscle being loaded grows in volume. The only way to reduce body volume is to reduce the percentage of body fat, lose weight, or, in the language of athletes, dry it out. Correct, balanced nutrition and aerobic exercise are many times more effective than repeated crunches.
Professional muscle stimulators
An electrical impulse directed by the myostimulator into the muscle will make it contract, simulating a power load. Natural physical effort tenses the muscle smoothly, gradually, and under the influence of the current, the muscle contracts in a jerk, lifting the tissue.
Only a qualified specialist can correctly calculate the strength of the pulse and knows the patterns of applying the electrodes. Professional electromyostimulants have 10-12 power programs, which are necessary for body shaping.
Household muscle stimulants
The recently widespread myostimulators - butterflies have only 4 power channels, the device operates on a battery, and therefore its current strength is no more than 10 mA. For example, in salons with professional equipment, electrical impulses of 30 mA are used to combat cellulite and fat deposits.
Due to the low power, it is useless to train the press with a myostimulator - a butterfly. A device with this power is suitable for cosmetic purposes: to tighten flabby skin, improve blood circulation in tissues and enhance lymph flow.
Underwater rocks
The affordable price of the device speaks of its low quality. For the production of cutaneous electrodes, low quality silicone or uncertified plastics are used. These materials are toxic and can lead to allergic reactions and even poisoning. Having decided on such a purchase, you need to make sure that the device is certified and approved by the Ministry of Health.
