eli5: why don’t the ab stimulator belts not work?

329 views

If the goal is to strain the muscles so they add mass, then wouldn’t an electric stimulation cause that? I’m reading that it’s all a scam, so I’d like to know the science behind what else the bode needs to build mass then.

Your body adapts to stress. Lifting weights is a stress to your muscles which makes the body go “*oh shit, this dude is lifting stuff on a regular basis, I better grow him better muscles*”. But the trick is, the stress needs to be the right amount.

Too little stress = no growth.

Too much stress = injury.

Ab stimulators don’t provide enough stress to make your body grow stronger muscles.
