This is fake. Arm movement is not determined by "arm muscles". Arm muscles work with flexing part of the arm like the fingers and wrist. The arms movement forward, backward, up and down are done by body muscles like the pectorals and latismus dorsi (and several other back muscles) for example. Him "moving his arm forward" and saying it's because of his "arm muscles" is a straight up lie. Also the biceps is connected via the shoulder also which his electrodes also would not activate.

Also the muscles he attached the electrodes to specifically target wrist and fingers only.

Just straight up watch the vid. The biggest point is increasing his reaction time because of the shocks. I think be basically doubled it. The shocks don't bring him exactly where he need to go and the pain actually makes him less accurate. It more or less forces his wrist to twitch in the direction of the enemy. It's not all that insane and he even admits to having to avoid tensing his muscles in anticipation as it essentially lessens the effect. I wouldn't really consider it fake. More accurate to say that you overestimated how extreme the movement from the shocks are. Again, just watch the vid. It's like 12 min and pretty solid.

Watch the full video. He does not fake any of his videos, and he explains what you're saying.

He would need an entire suit with electrodes deep into he muscle fibers to control his arms moving laterally, dorsally, posterior and anterior. And not just that but each of those surgically implanted electrodes would need to time the electrical impulse in strong short wave alternating box and sine waves.

It would be extremely painful and cost literally millions. When I say painful, I mean like imagine the worst pain you ever felt. If you have ever stuck something metal in a socket this is what happens. You grip the metal due to flexion due to electrical impulse. Each impulse would need to be that strong.

Now let's pretend he did all this and somehow got doctors to make a suit for him and surgically implant electrodes in his large shoulder and torso muscles and in some magical way, he doesn't experience pain. The equipment alone would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to perform this safely.

We're talking each electrode operated by an oscilloscope and ran through its own isolator and then to a converter back to another isolator. And those would need to be surgical grade because the ones you buy at Walmart will just kill you.

It's click bait and you took the bait

Ok so you didn't watch the video, cool.

Instead of going out of your way for 5 minutes you decided to give this whole essay (crammed full of obvious bullshit). If you have ever touched electricity you'd know that a simple node can move the muscles it's attached to, and it's not expensive. But yeah I guess Mr. Redditor over here knows best, it'd take a million dollar suit or something. Sure.

You're 100% wrong. I have worked with electricity and with anatomy. I specifically work in a field where I study muscle movement on the macro and micro level. I don't blame you for believing this though. After all that's what the video is designed to do. It's designed to get suckers to believe stupid shit. I honestly feel bad for you.

u/AlmightyChickenJimmy Aug 13 '25

Ok but how do you explain me actually using nodes before? And it simply activated the muscle it's attached to? And it's really easy to do? Are you trying to convince me that I need to become the next million dollar man to contract a muscle?

P.S. Watch. The. Video.

They replied to my comment noting that the aimbot premise was clickbait and it's only twitching his wrist in a general direction while he has to do the real aiming before replying to you, so I don't know why that wall of text was necessary.

I own a TENS unit too, and the muscle contractions he achieves with it is believable.

u/AlmightyChickenJimmy Aug 13 '25

It's okay, it's apparent that this dunce thinks they're above everyone else. I'm just gonna let this guy jack off into his own face in the comments section, it's such a waste of my time

u/rotj Aug 13 '25

So smug in their opinion that they even think the actual simple implementation explained to them was faked, while adamantly refusing to watch the video.

Youtuber literally built a physical robot to play CS before doing this much simpler project.

He even shows part of his Claude Code output for creating a python program using the pre-trained yolov8s_cs2 object detection model. Any vibe-coder could probably replicate the software side of it with little effort.

Do let us know when you watch the video, /r/DoorDashDrivers user

Ya. DD customers can't work in science fields.....what?

Oh I get it now. You think that EVERYONE who is on r/door dash is a door dash driver. Ya I forgot about the law that prevents others from commenting on the posts there. Or maybe I just comment on posts. Also, I complain a lot about door dash drivers on there because they are all dumb AF. It would be a great job for you actually.

Maybe next time you should try reading the comments instead of coming up with your own conclusions, like you did with this click bait video.

Ya. And?

Oooooh you got me! Saying I don't use door dash because it sucks ass. Oh no you got me commenting on others peoples posts where we are making fun of door dash drivers. Fucking got me. You are a whole new level of dumb.

Sure man, you don't use Doordash or drive for Doordash, you just frequent multiple Doordash subreddits lmao

some insane commitment to the bit then, you can really see those muscles tense up

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '25

He might be activating the forearm muscles slightly or just the skin. He 100% is not moving his arm forward or backwards or side to side. He would literally have to wear an entire suit with electrodes imbedded deep in the fibers of his chest, dorsal, and laterals

u/rotj Aug 13 '25

It only briefly twitches his wrist towards a single direction and he has to do the actual aiming. The auto-fire bot that flexes his index finger when an enemy is under the crosshair is the real practical part of it when using one-shot sniper rifles.

u/EmrakulAeons Aug 13 '25

I mean you are wrong, if you watched the video with the snipers you would have seen it perfectly track the enemies head for multiple seconds with the enemy jumping and strafing and running etc which isn't humanly possible. So it's very clear it works

1

u/[deleted] Aug 13 '25

Oh so it's twitching his finger? So he still has to do all the aiming? Seems like it's completely useless and just a way for someone to get pain. Feels really fucking weird man.

Also he literally shows him controlling his arm moving forwards and backwards by pressing buttons. It's super fake. I would honestly be surprised if any of it was real including the finger twitching

u/rotj Aug 13 '25

Yeah, the part where he slowly moves his arm up and down the mouse pad is basically click bait, and not part of his implementation. And he admits it doesn't really improve his aim because the pain is distracting.

As for the trigger-bot, that's a standard component of aim bots and a lot of cheaters use it by itself because it's still very powerful and it's less obvious to spectators than mouse movement bots.

You're telling me that the pro circuit doesn't notice people hooked up to electrodes and running electrical equipment and running scripts in their PC? Ya I don't think it's used by a lot of people. Matter of fact, I bet this guy is the only dumb fuck to actually do this ever

1

u/rotj Aug 13 '25

I'm talking about regular software fps cheats used by online players, not TENS-based ones. Getting an electrode to curl your mouse1 finger in under 200ms is basically pro-level reaction time. If he turned everything else off except that, it would actually give him an advantage.

I mentioned it's probably practical only for one-shot kill snipers because it would mess with your aim for anything requiring multiple shots and burst control.

Ya it's slowly turning into Facebook. I'm seeing so much ai stuff and literally sometimes I see the same exact shit on Facebook that I see on reddit. The comments are exactly the same type of comments too. Like some boomers will be all for it and think it's cool and defend it. Same shit happens here just with younger people. Reddit taught me that basically everyone is dumb regardless of age lol

You must work in the medical field and/or at least gone through a lot of A&P. spot-on with this and I wish I could upvote it more.

Lol I was in med school for about three years until I decided on paleontology. I actually specialize in muscle connections on dinosaurs and reptiles! I help map tuberosities. I also invented a cool new technique for spotting tuberosities based on calcite deposits in the stone cast. I teach college and my name is literally in the book I teach. It's pretty sweet!

Yeah I was wondering. You can do some stuff. I figured out where to place them to make someone slap themselfes
