Exploring Electric Stim Devices in Training: Enhancing Mind-Muscle Connection

In this article, we take a look at the potential benefits of using electric stim devices in a training session to enhance the mind-muscle connection and improve overall workout quality. We’ll follow the experience of Jared, an IFBB Pro, and Andy, an expert in electric stim devices, as they test the effectiveness of this technology on Jared’s back workout.

Introducing Electric Stim Devices

Electric stim devices work by sending electrical impulses to the muscles, forcing them to contract. This can provide several potential benefits, including:

• Reducing systemic fatigue, allowing for a higher level of muscle stimulation.
• Enhancing the mind-muscle connection for better muscle activation.

Putting Electric Stim Devices to the Test

Jared and Andy put the electric stim device through a series of exercises in a back workout, including:

• Lat prayers (straight arm lat pull downs)
• Overhand grip lat pull downs
• Machine rows

Throughout the workout, Jared reported an increased mind-muscle connection and the biggest back pump he had ever experienced. Andy also noted how the device could potentially reduce the amount of total working sets required for an effective workout, as it enhances muscle contraction and mind-muscle connection.

Maximizing the Benefits of Electric Stim Devices

To fully take advantage of electric stim devices, you should:

• Bring great technique to target the desired muscle
• Maximize the mind-muscle connection by focusing on the muscle’s contraction
• Apply a high level of relative effort in each set, pushing close to failure

Conclusion: Electric Stim Devices – Worth a Try?

Based on Jared’s experience, electric stim devices can provide a significant boost to the mind-muscle connection, potentially enhancing workout quality and reducing the volume of work needed for effective muscle stimulation. While it’s essential to approach this technology with an open mind and not rely solely on it for improvements, it may be a valuable addition to your training toolbox.
