Using a run-of-the-mill, portable and non-invasive electrical muscle stimulator while doing resistance training can yield greater gains in muscle strength and muscle mass than doing resistance training alone,

A team of researchers discovered that combining neuromuscular electrical stimulation with resistance training results in greater muscle mass and strength compared to resistance training alone.

New research suggests that adding electrical muscle stimulation to your weight training routine could lead to greater improvements in strength and muscle growth. The study found that combining traditional resistance training with electrical stimulation produced better results than weight training alone.
