Build Muscle (Hypertrophy): 7 EMS Training Benefits for Fast Muscle Growth

by Sep 10, 2018Uncategorized

If you’ve been hitting the gym but struggling to build muscle, it’s time to rethink your approach. Traditional training alone often activates only part of your muscle potential — but EMS training changes the game completely.

At BODY TIME, we use Electric Muscle Stimulation to push your body toward maximum hypertrophy â€” a state of muscle growth triggered by deep, high-intensity activation. Whether you’re looking to bulk up your chest, arms, legs, or rebuild after an operation, EMS delivers faster, safer, and more visible gains than conventional methods alone.

Here are 7 science-backed ways EMS helps you build muscle (hypertrophy) in record time.


1. Activates Up to 98% of Muscle Fibers

During traditional strength workouts, your brain naturally recruits 40–70% of your muscle fibers. EMS goes further by stimulating muscles externally, causing them to contract at up to 98% intensity â€” across all major muscle groups.

This results in:

  • Deeper muscle fiber recruitment
  • Increased tension on muscles
  • Faster muscle growth (hypertrophy)

The outcome? Faster size gains in your arms, chest, legs, and core.


2. Noticeable Muscle Growth After Just a Few Sessions

Clients at BODY TIME typically notice visible hypertrophy after just 4 EMS sessions. You’ll see improved definition and size in:

  • Chest and shoulders
  • Arms (biceps, triceps)
  • Thighs and glutes

This makes EMS ideal for both beginners and experienced lifters looking to break through muscle-building plateaus.


3. Perfect for Post-Operation Muscle Rebuilding

If you’ve experienced muscle loss due to surgery or injury, EMS can speed up the recovery process. Several clinical studies show EMS is highly effective at:

  • Stimulating atrophied muscles
  • Enhancing circulation for recovery
  • Rebuilding muscle mass without strain

⚠️ Always consult your surgeon or GP before beginning EMS post-surgery.

4. Triggers Hypertrophy Without Heavy Weights

One of the greatest benefits of EMS is the ability to trigger hypertrophy without lifting weights. This reduces:

  • Joint strain
  • Spinal compression
  • Risk of injury

It’s perfect for individuals who want to build muscle safely â€” especially those recovering from injury or with orthopedic limitations.


5. Scientifically Proven to Increase Muscle Mass and Strength

In a 12-week study using BODY TIME EMS protocols:

  • Muscle strength increased by 30%
  • Muscle mass increased across all major areas
  • 89% of participants reported feeling significantly stronger

Final Thought: Build Muscle Faster, Smarter, and Safer

Hypertrophy doesn’t require heavy weights, long hours, or painful joint strain. With EMS, you can build muscle fastertrigger deeper growth, and maximize every minute of your training â€” with just 20-minute sessions per week.

Whether you’re starting fresh or coming back stronger post-surgery, EMS gives you the edge to grow safely and efficiently.
