Specific applications
Preparation for a fitness
enthusiast who wants to
develop harmonious shoulder
muscles with a moderate
increase in muscle volume
M ost voluntary exercise, such as jogging
or cycling, puts little stress on the
shoulder muscles. That is why it is
particularly important to compensate
this under-utilisation by associating
Compex sessions with your voluntary
training schedule.
T he Muscle building programme
imposes a lot of specific work to the
muscles of the upper part of your body
and thus ensures the harmonious
development of your shoulders, with
firm and well shaped muscles. Unlike
voluntary exercises involving heavy
weights that can be traumatic for your
joints and tendons, stimulation with
Compex involves no, or very little stress
for your joints and tendons.
Duration of the cycle: 5 weeks 4 x/week,
alternating muscular groups
Progression in the levels: Weeks 1-5:
Step to the next level every week

Muscle volume for a body-
builder
D espite repeated efforts during their
voluntary training, many body-builders
encounter difficulties in developing
certain muscle groups. The specific
stimulation imposed on muscles by the
Body Building programme significantly
increases the volume of the stimulated
muscles. In addition, for a similar session
time, the Compex
Body Building
programme provides a greater volume
gain than voluntary training. The
additional training imposed by this
stimulation programme on muscles not
sufficiently receptive to traditional
training provides a solution for the
harmonious development of all muscle
groups without recalcitrant areas.
T o obtain optimum progress, you are
advised to:
1 Precede the Body Building sessions
with short voluntary training focused
on strength; for example 3 series of
5 repetitions at 90% of maximum
force;
2 Carry out a Capillarization (of the
Warm-up category) session directly
after the
Body Building session.
