Biceps workout with electrical muscle stimulation (EMS)
EMS devices and electrodes recommendations




EMS training for biceps
The biceps muscle is essential for lifting weights and is often aesthetically representative of the fitness of the entire body. It is the antagonist to the triceps and the smaller of the two upper arm muscles. Most beginners overload the biceps too often, which can often lead to overtraining. To give the biceps a growth stimulus, 1-2 applications per week with 5-10 minutes of EMS stimulation are usually sufficient. Be sure to take 2-3 rest days between EMS workouts. We would like to show you here how you can train your biceps with electrical muscle stimulation in combination with conventional exercises. With the axion EMS machine, you can support biceps training with electrical muscle stimulation in the following ways.

How to place the electrode pads correctly for biceps workout
- Select an EMS program for small muscle groups or set a manual EMS mode.
- Set the intensity so that the muscle clearly contracts.
- As soon as the contractions start, perform the training exercises parallel to the contraction by the EMS machine. Keep the same tension and rest intervals as the EMS program during the exercise.
