Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Are there any studies or experiences on this? I use an EMS unit for ab tightening with good success but heard from a brah that you can use this post exercise to push that group further once you've done standard nervous system impacting lifts (from what i understand EMS doesnt impact CNS). Whats the verdict here? Also does an muscle stimulated via EMS consume glycogen the way a muscle normally does during stimulation?
Using electro muscle stimulation post workout for greater hypertrophy?

Used to have one in high school ... Hardest muscle contractions I've ever had
I don't think that you will get any Glycogen Depletion because your not Breathing like during Regular exercise.
Athletes produce Energy via Two Mechanisms, both Facilitated by Oxygen.
1 - via Fat Metabolism
2 - via breakdown of Glycogen into Glucose followed by Glycolysis
So hooking up to the EMS will not produce either, because of the lack of Oxygen.................... JP
P.S.
You see that Chick in the Commercial, she's all Hooked up to the EMS.
The Guy says, "How's that", and She Falls onto the Ground Writhing in Pain.
LMAO at that Commercial.

I use my Tens unit to break up injection lumps when I get them, which is not often. But it works for that really good. Also use it to loosen up cramped over tight muscles, especially traps.
Have you ever tried an Inversion Table.
I got one about 6 Months ago, and I was thinking that I should have got it 20 years ago....................... JP
P.S.
Laminectomy L-4/L-5 in 1977, and recently Fractured T-4 and T-6.

x2 on the inversion table
YES!! I just got one about a month ago and absolute love it. I pinched a nerve in my mid back which would normally take me about a week to get over. I got on the table about 4 times throughout the day for about five minutes each time and the next day I was fine.
I never wanted to spend the $300 on a good one. I would just go to chiropractor. I paid $100 for a like new one. Best $100. I should of got one 10 years ago. It would of paid for itself as much as I go to the chiro...
your a brave man. My neurosurgeon told me to deal with it as long as I could. I found a great chiropractor.
The first one was not so good. I walk around for 2 years with my shoulder and collar bone out of place. The guy that I have now fixed me in one visit.

Nope, cannot see that happening. Those things would never make me feel a pump, no matter how high the setting. Cramps, yeah. Irritated skin, yeah. Higher level of hypertrophy? Unlikely.
Sweating and hurting yourself to failure - hearing your body scream for surrender - this is when you grow.
