Muscle volume for a body-builder
training six times a week minimum
I n this example, the body-builder wants
to work on his/her calves that 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. calves then biceps).

Developing and sculpting your
abdominal belt
T o restore or develop the qualities of your
abdominal muscles, they must do a lot of
intensive work. Also, the voluntary exer-
cises of the abdominal belt required to
achieve results are unpleasant and often
also dangerous. Indeed, if they are not
performed correctly, they can cause crus-
hing of the lumbar spine accompanied, as
a consequence, by the onset or aggrava-
tion of pain in the lower back
C ompex offers a specific stimulation
mode to make your abdominal belt firmer,
improve its tone and give it a more har-
monious shape, or even to develop a
"rock-hard" abdomen. All this can be
achieved without the minimum stress and
danger for the lumbar spine. The
The Mus-
cle starter programme allows you to reac-
tivate the abdominal belt muscles before
starting the more intensive work of the
Muscle building programme. The specific
work required for definition and better
muscular tone can then be started using
thee
Hypertony programme.
Cycle duration: Beginner: 13 weeks.
Week 1-3: 2 x Muscle starter 10I
