The EMS training does not need any weights attracted by the gravity. That is why EMS has reportedly been used in space by NASA and ESA. Well – so NE 100 kg dumbbell weights outside the gravity almost nothing. That means no gravity – no muscle stimulation. And without stimulation, no contraction and therefore no muscle growth.
Professor of physical therapy at Washington University in St. Louis, trained a 28-year police and weightlifter named Derrick Crass with EMS. Crass was preparing for the Olympics in 1988. He trained with both conventional training and EMS training. After two weeks, he was able to improve his maximum weights around 20 kg. This increase, he kept training for four…
Professional bodybuilder Mike Mentzer (Mr. Universe 1979), famous for developing HIT (High Intensity Training) training method tested EMS Training. Both HIT and EMS are aimed at producing maximum muscular effort without overtraining. Mike had achieved visible results.
The Canadian bodybuilder John Cardillo, wrote a series of articles in which he paid tribute to the virtues of the “Faraday training”. A tribute to Michael Faraday, an English scientist and discoverer of the principle “Faraday cage”, which today serves as the basis for the screening of electrostatic fields.
Russian top athletes who had used EMS as a component in their training plan, they achieved outstanding results at the Olympic Games (1972) in Munich. Valeri Borzov won gold on the distances of 100 and 200 meters.
The Russian scientist Jakov Kots, reported an increase of more than 35% of muscle strength, the speed and overall performance could be improved a lot after a several-weeks of EMS training.
The first study was published, demonstrating that with EMS training, over 90% of the total skeletal muscle fibers can be stimulated. They were detected within a few weeks and showed muscle strength gains up to 40%.
