Hopefully No2 and others can give me some input here…
When performing Max Strength with EMS do you most of you turn it up to an initial intensity and keep it there through out the session or do you turn it up each rep?
I find that I can always tolerate more the next rep so I turn it up. I plan accordingly with lowering the contraction time a few seconds bc I have a unit that pauses the count down and holds the contraction while I adjust the itensity… Which can lead to a difference in about 20, 30 or more mA from the first contraction to the last. That being said it makes me wonder how many contractions are ACTUALLY maximal and that I’m really benefiting from?? For example, last time I did the spinal erectors I started at 74mA and ended on 120…
Hope this makes sense
