REVIEW
Electrostimulation technology has long proven its effectiveness.
The Compex Wireless is a very good supplement, especially for recovery. It will also allow you to work on muscle tone and will relax you like a professional. An ideal professional-grade companion for all athletes, from the advanced user who exercises regularly in a health club to high performance athletes.
Usage
n Easy to use, thanks to its optimized interface and the emphasis on intuitiveness. Two minutes is enough to understand how it works. However, we would have liked more graphic content. The housing is small, light, very simple and the installation quite clear. The placement of the electrodes is for example greatly simplified since all the necessary information is indicated directly on the color LCD screen. The design, the wireless capability, is great. But what really surprised us with this equipment is its brilliant technology called mi-Technology: it allows you to analyze muscle characteristics (with fairly good precision), to adapt to your body, your muscles and their muscles. reactions.
That's why it still ranks a few notches above the rest.
Programs & amp; Workouts
You can create your own goals online and manage your schedule and a large selection of exercises will be updated regularly.
Many programs are available online (over 50 exercises available ) according to your needs and objectives. The different programs are generally precise and efficient.
n Connectivity
If you have a PC, all functions are easily accessible via the compex interface.
Otherwise, and you have a PC from the apple brand, then this device is not for you. Software installation does not work properly in Mac OS Lion and it is not possible to connect the remote control in Max OSX. A shame in our time.
So while waiting for a software and device update, we strongly advise against purchasing this product for Mac owners.
n Portability
The main advantage is that you can take it with you everywhere. No cables mean easy installation and freedom of movement. Charge it, and take it to the stadium or the hall.
The absence of cable between the remote control and the electrodes allows a series of interesting movements, in any case, much wider than with the older models used sitting on a chair or lying on a bed with cables all over the place. Thus, we have the possibility of using electrotherapy in action. The Compex Wireless allows, for example, to couple a session on a home trainer with electrostimulation. We can then imagine a multitude of training scenarios, on a variety of supports: vibrating platform, indoor cycling, exercise bike, elliptical trainer, treadmill ... We tested it with an exercise bike and when the pedal quickly, the electrodes tend to come off… for low intensity exercises, it's perfect. If you want to perform intense sessions, it is certainly possible to hold the electrodes in place with a tubular net used in medicine. (not tested) Another small disadvantage of wireless: the electrodes are a little heavier, so you have to replace the patches a little more often otherwise it will come off.
n Intensity
The intensity is huge, and we only used 10% of its potential. The possibilities of use and combination are endless.
Efficiency
Regarding muscle strengthening, we used the compex on 2 muscle groups in sports preparation. With regular use, a Compex muscle stimulator may have an effect on muscle definition, but it will have little or no impact on muscle size. It’s not a weight machine per se. When it comes to the cardiovascular system, athletes and users should therefore keep in mind that the Compex are a complement to training, but in no way replace conventional training. It will therefore be necessary to perform cardiovascular exercises in addition to using the Compex electrostimulator to stay in shape. For the reasons mentioned above, the machine cannot have an effect on endurance, weight loss or metabolism. As such, there is no mention of diet, alternative or supplemental exercise routines or weight loss in Compex journals.
The & quot; massage & quot; mode. is anecdotal but nice. In terms of weight loss and muscle mass gain, Compex's products will have little effect. The Compex is used as a supplement and not as a full-fledged training device.
Design, Price & amp; Autonomy
The Design is also rather successful and contrasts with the other devices of the brand with a slightly dated design. Its design is elegant and the whole thing can even arouse lust. The autonomy is very good. Used 30 min per day on average, it lasts more than a week.
Lightweight, well-designed, strong, high-tech, this is probably the best electrostimulation device on the market, but quality comes at a high price. Introductory price: € 1250.
Compex units are often very expensive (only top athletes and health professionals buy the units), but this Wireless station sets the bar even higher. It is easier to understand why, even if certain functions are very interesting, such as massage or recovery, this device will not be democratized any time soon for ordinary people.
