Chest Training With Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS)
EMS Machines And Electrode Pads Recommendations
EMS Training For The Chest Muscles
The chest muscles originate at the sternum, the collarbone and attach to the bone of the upper arm. It supports breathing and is therefore also called the respiratory support muscle. The chest muscles are also responsible for the movement of the arms. Train your chest muscles from home with EMS training and the right EMS machine!
How To Place The Muscle Stimulator Pads For Training Your Chest Muscles
Important: During EMS training of the chest muscles, note that you do not place the pads directly over or near the heart. The pads should be placed on the outer chest muscles with enough distance to the heart.
Here you can see the correct placement of the muscle stimulator pads for chest training. We recommend using our TENS EMS combo machine STIM PRO X9 in combination with our 5x5 cm pads, or the round Ø 5 cm pads.
In the following video you can see the correct placement of the pads on the chest and the setting of the programs for strength training, endurance training and muscle mass.

- Straighten your arms and legs
- Lower your body. Your chest should nearly touch the floor
- Hold this position for a second and then push yourself back up
- Repeat the exercise several times
Advanced: Push-Ups with EMS
Important: During your EMS workout for the chest muscles, note that you do not place the pads directly over or near the heart. The muscle stimulator pads should be placed on the outer chest muscles with enough distance to the heart.

Please note:
The current strength should be set so that the intended muscle contracts significantly without feeling pain.
Before your workout you should warm up the muscles to prepare them for the upcoming exercise load. Our EMS TENS combo machine offers pre-installed warm-up-programs, which automatically start right before the actual training program. Therefore you can train very relaxed.
