COMPEX CYCLING TRAINING PLANS

We offer 2 high-detail Cycling training plans each aimed at helping you train harder and recover faster, one is aimed at those that train 3x per week and the other is aimed at those that train 5x per week. By integrating Compex into your training sessions, you can take your preparation to the next level! Our programs can help you from start to finish in your quest for greatness.

The first plan is for cyclists who train up to 3 times a week, with the second plan for cyclists who train 4+ times a week or match any of the following criteria:

  • at least 4 workouts per week.
  • more than 3 years of regular road cycling training.
  • Regularly rank in the top 50% in competition.

The pre-requisite for this training is good physical condition and regular practice of a physical activity or sport during the previous months.

If you have never used Compex in training before, it is strongly advised that you have a 2-3 week initiation and familiarisation of the chosen plan and the implications before taking on the plan in full.

We also offer some really useful top tips for using your Compex muscle stimulator for training, in addition to our "Training with Compex" page, which will show and tell you all you need to know when it comes to exercising with your device.

TRAINING 3x PER WEEK

TRAINING 3x PER WEEK

The preparation aims to schedule the 2 larger sessions of the week on the weekend, which is when the majority of cyclists have the most free time.
However, these sessions can quite be shifted to other days of the week. In this case, the 2 sessions of development (endurance, strength, resistance) must be carried out on the days without training.

You can perform multiple Core stabilization sessions each week, the usual rule being 3 sessions each week for 3-4 weeks
