I've been reading about Emsculpt, and sounds like a promising new device. The manufacture claims that each session in the buttocks is equivalent to 20,000 squats. My question is; that comparison is based on 20,000 squats with or without weights? if is compare with weight, is light med or heavy weight? Because there's a big difference in the muscle when you do squats with or without weights. Thanks in advance

Answer: EMSculpt This is an excellent question, and I agree with you about that difference. I think what the company intends to say is that it represents 20,000 muscle contractions (for the abdominal treatment) and 1,000 for the gluteal treatment. The electromagnetic current causes the muscle to fire/contract very rapidly and with more strength than you could do in the gym. I've done 4 abdominal treatments myself. I can see a slight improvement in the appearance (only about 2 weeks out), but I can definitely feel how my core is stronger and that translates to better posture, less back strain, and overall more strength with other lifts!

Answer: Emsculpt The clinical studies have not indicated if the contractions are considered to be weighted. There are 20,000 involuntary supramaximal contractions done in 30 minutes on either the abdomen or buttocks depending on which area you decide to treat. The body can not physically perform at such a high intensity on its own if you went to the gym and did squats or sit ups for example even with weights. Results are seen through muscle toning and hypertrophy with a series of 4 treatments spaced out 2-3 days apart.
