EMS Purchase question for Coach Francis and others

I really appreciate your time coach!

BTW, I just achieve my Poliquin Level One Certification. Some of his writings clearly state that if one wants to know about Strength and Conditioning for T&F, you’re the person to talk to because of what you accomplished with Ben Johnson. Mike Boyle state the same!

I think I have an idea now. After reviewing the EMS section of the CFTS book which states that if one were to train 3 times a week the EMS should be administered no earlier than 2 hours after the workout, using no more than 10 contractions. Therefore because EMS bypasses the CNS, using EMS after weight training will not result in overtraining. The CNS is not disturbed and remains in recovery mode correct? So if I were to use your weight training model which advance phases into 3 times a week, I should reframe from EMS on those non training days?

EMS spares the CNS but still is muscular work and is part of the total load there. Earlier in the phase, more overall work can be done on the low intensity days but later both the CNS impact and, to a lesser extent, overall muscular load will be reduced. Of course, the way you create the load is up to you and you have great flexibility there.
