Before Your Workout
Place on muscle you want to target or the muscle you commonly injure
Use within 15 minutes of the start of your workout
While Working Out
Use at beginning of workout
Your mind-muscle connection is typically weakest at the beginning of the workout so the Pulse Device will get you ready to perform from the jump
Reduce weight used
Reduce weight to about 75-80% of what you use normally as the Pulse Device will amplify your muscle’s output even at lower weight
Use with isolation exercises
Using the Pulse Device with isolation exercises will allow you to get a fuller contraction of that muscle and get the most out of the devices.
Use on imbalanced muscles
Muscle imbalances can be caused by your brain prioritizing one side of the body. The Pulse Devices will help retrain your brain to activate both sides of your body.
Use on muscles you normally don’t feel
If you struggle to feel a muscle activating, chances are you are activating secondary muscles and joints instead. The Pulse Device will help you to isolate that muscle and increase activation considerably.
Squeeze Muscle at the Top of Rep
Squeezing your muscle at the top of the rep will help to increase muscle activation as well as increase the sensation of the vibration
For Recovery
Recover Hands-Free
The Pulse Device can be used hands-free, so you can do things you enjoy while you recover.
More is not Always Better
Make sure to follow the above guidelines for duration for optimal recovery. Longer vibration usage doesn’t mean a faster recovery.
For Advanced Lifters
Turn off Vibrations in Between Reps
Pause the vibrations in-between sets. When you keep the vibrations on in one spot for more than ~20 minutes at a time, you will experience neural fatigue which inhibits your ability to feel the sensation of the vibrations.
Use Higher Frequencies Settings
Utilize higher frequency settings (like in the Guided Reps Mode) for more experienced weight lifters that require more stimulation.
Increase Vibration Sensation
If you have high body fat or high muscle density, you may want to apply pressure to the device by putting it under a compression sleeve (which we are releasing over the coming weeks), KT tape, or tight clothing in order to get the vibrations to penetrate deeper.
