Electrical Muscle Stimulation

(1/3) > >>

Nizar:
I held a presentation last week pointing out the advantages and disadvantes of electrical muscle stimualation, after going through alot of research, and I'm convinced that it can be a powerful training tool if you know how to apply it. Thus I'd like to start a discussion on EMS. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it, your results, and how you implemented it. Which parameters did you use (impulse frequency, duration, etc) and what was the training protocol?

Which device do you have?  Etc.

I'm not referring to lazy knucklehead EMS training (the belts from the online shops), by the way.

P.S: How can I put the slides of my presentation as an attachment?

I've used EMS for a few short periods of several weeks and was astonished with the results. I went from not being able to do a single natural GHR to being able to knock out a set of 11 completely unassisted. That having been said, the discomfort, setup time, and the need to shave my caveman legs has stopped me from using it since.

Though I can't remember the exact settings, I used a EMS 7500 @ 120 hZ with the power turned all the way up.

I really should give it another look, leg shaving be damned,

you'll be more aerodynamic for the 100m  :P

Yeah, there's that too. ;D

I also forgot to mention that I did sets of 10 second on, 60 seconds off (if I remember correctly), and usually did 4-5 sets.
