Thanks! I was a little concerned as many athletics / sport science people don’t seem to think too highly of BB, so I was a bit unsure how it would go down
Although I am a scientist, I also do not have the sport science background that most of you people seem to have here, so please excuse my ignorance whilst I try and catch up.
I am loving the EMS actually, although I have found that I have been shooting in the dark when it comes to designing a protocol for my needs. I have been using two main protocols - the globus mass program, which I apply 36hr after training that bodypart (which seems to be going ok), and I am going to start using it after weights on a bodypart trained (to try getting additional stimulus that would exceed my CNS capacity). I have also been using a warm up protocol in an attempt to increase blood flow and thus nutrient delivery to that muscle. This is run for the maximum time I can during the post workout recovery window and as much time as I can throughout the day. I have not noticed any success with this yet, but I do not suspect that I would notice any results for several months anyhow. The capilarisation program is on that I have dabbled with, but am unsure how to fit this in with the rest of my program tbh.
I have been shocked (excuse the pun) by the intensity of the stimulus on the mass program. I took the advice on these forums that you need to crank up the power on them, and have done so. The stimulus is very intense indeed.
If you have any suggestions or thoughts on intergrating EMS protocols into my training, I am very ignorant and I am all ears!
Thanks for your interest and feedback, it is appreciated!
