with firm and well shaped muscles. Un-
like voluntary exercises involving heavy
weights that can be traumatic for your
joints and tendons, stimulation with Com-
pex involves no, or very little stress for
your joints and tendons.
Cycle duration: 5 weeks 4 x/week, alternating
muscular groups

vious application

Muscle volume for a body-builder
D
espite repeated efforts during their vo-
luntary training, many body-builders en-
counter difficulties in developing certain
muscle groups. The specific stimulation
imposed on muscles by the
Hypertrophy
programme significantly increases the vo-
lume of the stimulated muscles. In addi-
tion, for a similar session time, the
Compex
Hypertrophy
programme pro-
vides a greater volume gain than volun-
tary training.
The additional workload imposed by this
stimulation programme on muscles not
sufficiently receptive to traditional training
provides a solution for the harmonious
development of all muscle groups without
recalcitrant areas.
To obtain optimum progress, you are ad-
vised:
1) for fitness exercise beginners who have
never used electrostimulation before, to
do a complete cycle with the
Muscle star-
ter ,programme and then a complete cycle
with the Muscle building , cycle before star-
ting the stimulation procedure described
in the application below;
2) to precede the
Hypertrophy sessions
with short voluntary training focused on
strength; for example 3 series of 5 repeti-
tions at 90% of maximum force;
3) to carry out a
Capillarization session di-
rectly after the Hypertrophy .session.
Muscle volume for a body-builder
training three times a week
I n this example, the body-builder wants
to work on his/her biceps, which he/she
considers to be his/her weak point. It is of
course possible to stimulate other muscles
as well. Also this stimulation routine can
be applied to several muscular groups at
the same time (e.g. biceps then calves).
