I would not recommend them for bulking! Those people modelling for the TV-shop commercial did not use this ****, they used free weights.
* You will not develop stabilizing muscles in the same way as lifting
* The resistance will not be enough for you if you want to bulk. Think about lifting a 250 lbs weight and getting current through your muscle, you would need a car battery yanked up your ass to get that effect.
* It will take a ****load of time to train all the muscles since you will only be doing isolation training instead of compound training.
* Training at gym isn't just about getting bigger muscles, it is a test on personal determination, pushing your limits with weights so you can push the limits everywhere else in life. If you can lift a heavy challenging weight, you will feel everything around you, all problems will be easier to face.
That is the drawback I find with them, I have not tried them so I only speak in my opinion why I haven't bought them.

Bruce Lee used them, but it sounds kinda dangerous to me. There could be a risk of getting cancer, but probably no more than sitting in front of a television set. And if you smoke, thats no big deal anyways.
The real question is does it work? I doubt it. Do some resisted ab crunches and you'll get there much faster anyway.
If you don't have weights, try this book: http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews19887.html
Using Mr. Wongs method my skills as a martial artist have improved substantially. He also has a video out on the Dynamic Strength method of training.

Ok.. I was'nt really going to reply.. But it seems I am the only one who actually purchased this.
I've tried it, and yes, it does work. But i DO NOT reccomend it.
I'll try to keep this short.
~It hurts like hell; Think extreme cramps (Words cannot express)
Now, i'm not a sissy baby, but the pain left me and my bro in tears in intensity 10.
~No matter what they say, only use it in the abs. Very dangerous to use it in the chest, think about it.
~It may leave burn marks. It left me with some light red burning in my abdominal region
Further more I really could go on and on but I don't feel like it since I have done this discussion to death several times at my bodybuilding forum.
My conclusion: Bodybuilding requires effort, dedication and determination and discipline.

I think I'd rather just do 100 crunches then wear a electric belt.
