So it's week 6 of training with the Compex Update: So I got myself a new unit: The T heta Chattanooga Compex with Mi sensor leads : DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) - The training must still be hard as I'm still getting this and I am using the recovery and massage setting as required. i have noticed that lots of elite athletes use the Compex this way so why not! Strength: So still going but slowing progress at this point Week 6: Timeframe Deadlift Seated Dumbbell shoulder press Lat Pull down Start 90KG 16.5KG 50KG 2 weeks 105KG (17% increase) 19KG (15% increase) 70KG (40% increase) 4 weeks 115KG (9.5% increase from week 2) (28% increase from baseline) 21.5KG (13% increase from week 2) (30% increase from baseline) 75KG (7% increase from week 2) (50% increase from basel
