One of the essential ingredients for increasing biceps volume is exercise. Muscle atrophy occurs when lack of activity deprives a muscle of its usual stimulation, leading to a decrease in muscle volume. This can happen, for example, during immobilisation. This type of indication is very common in the field of rehabilitation. And it's in this area that Compex made its mark in the medical world nearly 25 years ago. Compex allows for faster and more effective muscle rehabilitation. Healthy biceps require stimulation significantly greater than what a physiotherapist's office provides.Compex stimulators offer a program specifically dedicated to increasing arm/bicep muscle volume.
Developing Biceps With Compex Electrostimulator
The program starts with a two-minute warm-up using low muscle activation in the form of vibrations, which increase blood circulation. Following this, a sequence of extremely powerful long contractions and short active rests begins, repeating for about twenty minutes until the muscles are exhausted. The program concludes with 5 minutes of highly appreciated relaxation. They help reduce the intensity of muscle soreness the next day. Although these can still occur in less trained individuals!
How To Use Compex Program To Develop Your Biceps
CYCLE DURATION:
3 sessions per week for 6 weeks
Consistency is key. At least 3 sessions per week for 6 weeks is the minimum dose that yields truly surprising results!
Note that you can work on multiple muscle groups in the same day. For example: abs, thighs, arms, depending on the time you have… Working the same muscle group multiple times in one day is not recommended.
ELECTRODE PLACEMENT:
Body position and associated exercises:
Setting the Intensity
Desired Effect: Induce powerful contractions involving as many biceps muscle fibers as possible.
It is important to regularly increase the intensity to the maximum bearable level!
This is crucial because the intensity directly determines the percentage of biceps muscle fibers you engage. Since only those working progress, you should always try to engage as many as possible = increase the intensity as high as possible.
Because everyone becomes accustomed to the technique, aim to regularly increase the intensities throughout each session (for example, every 4 to 5 contractions), as well as from one session to another.
A good approach is to set a goal for each session to surpass the intensity level reached in the previous session!
