THE EMS EDGE: BALANCING INTENSITY AND RECOVERY
While EMS can be a powerful tool for enhancing muscle activation and strength, overdoing it can have detrimental effects on your body. Here’s a closer look at why practicing EMS more than twice a week is generally not recommended:
- Increased Risk of Injury: EMS already fatigues muscles, and adding heavy weights can lead to overloading, potentially causing strains and sprains.
- Muscle Imbalances: EMS may not activate all muscles equally, leading to imbalances and potential overuse injuries.
- Joint Stress: Heavy weights combined with EMS can stress joints, increasing the likelihood of joint pain and long-term issues.
- Reduced Control and Stability: EMS-induced muscle contractions may compromise form and stability when using heavy weights, increasing the risk of accidents and injuries.
- Effectiveness: EMS is designed to enhance muscle activation and improve tone, strength, and endurance. Heavy weights are not necessary for achieving these goals with EMS. Moderate weights or resistance levels can provide effective muscle stimulation without the added risk of injury associated with heavy lifting.
