To improve the firmness and shape of the buttocks

The considerable amount of progressive and specific work of the buttocks muscles produced by the Buttocks programme effectively increases the firmness of these muscles. The power of the contractions increases during the session, alternating with a toning massage applied during the rest periods. This type of stimulation is particularly favourable for ensuring the shape of the buttocks improves gradually, with beneficial effects on the whole figure.

Building muscle mass for a body-builder


Despite 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.

To make optimum progress, you are always recommended to:
precede the Body building sessions with short voluntary training focused on strength
for example 3 series of 5 repetitions at 90% of maximum force;

do a Capillarisation session straight after the Body building session

To regain good muscle tone in the thighs and improving their shape

Not enough activity is responsible for the progressive loss of good muscular qualities. The thigh muscles are those which are used mostly for walking, running or climbing stairs for example. Too sedentary a lifestyle which reduces this type of activity has harmful repercussions on the quadriceps muscles (in front of the thigh) which alters the appearance of the shape.
The shaping programme should be used after preliminary toning and firming work; it entails in-depth intensive work which can significantly improve the appearance of the thighs.

Preparation for a fitness enthusiast wishing to develop an event musculature of the shoulders with a moderate increase in muscle volume

Most voluntary physical activities, such as jogging or cycling, require little of the shoulder muscles. That is why it is particularly important to compensate this under-utilisation by associating Compex sessions with your voluntary training schedule. The 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.

To develop and sculpt the abdominal wall

Recovering or developing the qualities of the abdominal muscles requires a great deal of intensive work on these.
Hence, to obtain some results, the voluntary exercises of the abdominal wall are fastidious and often dangerous. Indeed, if they are not performed correctly, they can cause crushing of the lumbar spine accompanied, as a consequence, by the onset or aggravation of pain in the lower back.
The Compex "muscle definition" programme offers a specific stimulation mode to make your abdominal wall firmer, improve its tone and give it a more harmonious shape, or even to develop a "rock-hard" abdomen. All this can be achieved without the minimum stress and danger for the lumbar spine.

To tone and firm the abdominal wall muscles

/The abdominal wall muscles play a crucial role in supporting the low back region and contain the deep organs located in stomach. When their tone is insufficient, these muscles are no longer able to play their "belt" role effectively which results in a flabby stomach, rolls of fat, etc.

The Abs programme gives the abdominal muscles an intensive workout by increasing the power of the contractions during the same session. This type of workout is particularly suitable for developing muscle tone, which improves the support function of the abdominal musculature.

Pre-season preparation of the lactic capacity for a resistance sport, with three active training sessions a week (800m race, track cycling, etc.)

Example of schedule for developing the lactic capacity (resistance) of the quadriceps.
During the pre-season preparation period for sports requiring a lot of lactic anaerobic effort (intense effort sustained for as long as possible), it is essential not to forget specific muscular preparation. Stimulation of the quadriceps (or a different key muscle group depending on the discipline practised) by means of the Resistance programme results in improved anaerobic power, as well as greater muscle tolerance to high concentrations of lactates. The benefits in the field are obvious:
improved performance thanks to better muscular resistance to fatigue for exercises of the lactic anaerobic type.
