i'll let acole make the case but i find mine indispensable. Waiting for amazon to come to au so i can order a good quality one not the kogan piece of shit i got which takes 4 AAA batteries that take forever to charge and you have to remove them and stick them in a charger etc. It's a real piece of shit. Having said that, i abide by everyone/anyone training having one handy.

TY,

I had been spending almost 1-2 hours a day sometimes last few months just trying to release muscle tension really good.

You said don't use it as a crutch, how much would you recommend to use the TENS and how much to still foam roll/massage/stretch?

TY

You could use the TENS once a day for 15mins after a workout as needed. For instance, if you squat heavy, stick two pads on your spinal erectors and two on your glute medius afterwards and ramp it up to near max for 15 mins (your settings will vary, but use high Hz). Back should feel pretty good the next day. Or if you hammer the Bulgarian split squat, do the quads. There's videos for the best placement for each muscle group.

I just do foam rolling to warm up occasionally. I do 15-20mins a night with a hard rubber ball on hip flexors, glute medius, spinal erectors, then wrap up the knees with compression bands for two minutes and do a squat sit, then ball on the shoulders and back. Then if there's particular issues, do stuff for them. No need to do more than 1hr, just wasting time. Be targeted and spend the rest of the time sleeping.

Yeah that is the case. I think because the degree of tension you have in certain muscles will differ and you just have to trial-and-error it.
