    The Resistance, Strength and Explosive Strength programs are designed to activate fast twitch, Type II muscle fibers (think power and force). By applying Compex technology to your muscles, you can increase explosive strength. And since Type II fibers are quicker to fatigue, use Compex Recovery to help those fibers get ready to fire again, faster! Find out more on the Compex Training Page.

    Compex programs can create powerful contractions which mimic weight bearing exercises, such as a heavy back squat. However, your joints get a break by the simple fact there is no additional load on them when performing body weight movements with Compex. Give those joints a break and let Compex do some of the heavy lifting!

    By utilizing Compex Recovery programs an increase of blood flow is produced through low frequency twitches. These programs offer a faster reduction of lactic acid levels through accelerated exchanges between muscle fibers and blood. As a result, stimulated muscles recuperate better from fatigue. Find out more about the programs here.

Benefits of Muscle Stimulation

Optimize your training from start to finish!

From warming up, working out and cooling down with proper recovery, Compex electric muscle simulators can help accelerate your fitness results. With pre-designed programs, you can activate hard-to-reach muscle fibers quicker than your regular training regimen with less stress on your body. Providing major benefits across all areas of performance, whether you're a newbie or elite, here's the down and dirty of what Compex muscle stimulation can deliver.

Simply put, electric muscle stimulation trains your muscles in a way that traditional workouts alone cannot. It is a "best kept secret" elite athletes and fitness enthusiasts use to enhance their workouts and training programs. Electric muscle stimulation (EMS) – also known as neuromuscular electric stimulation (NMES), muscle stim or e-stim – sends electronic pulses to your motor nerves in order to create muscle contractions.

When Compex electric muscle stimulation is added to your training, it helps maximize your muscular effort by engaging a greater percentage of muscle fibers. Compex's programs can target Type 1 slow twitch muscle fibers which impact endurance as well as Type 2 (a & b) fast twitch muscle fibers which impact power and explosiveness. Compex can help your training efficiency allowing for enhanced fitness results. Once the training is over, let Compex flush out the lactic acid with one of the Recovery programs.

Keep in mind, not all muscle stim devices are created equal! In order to activate certain muscle fibers, your device has to have enough power to do so. For example, in order to train those Type 2 b muscle fibers, you need to be hitting 95 hertz or higher.
