Your quads hurt. Your back hurts. Your glutes hurt. Your life hurts. Were you hit by a bus? Nah. It’s the Open — or as most of us like to call it, Five Weeks Of Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. Foam rolling is good. Epsom salt baths are fine. Sitting on a massage ball is peachy. But let’s get real about recovery. Like, really real. I’m talking electrical muscle stimulation. I’m talking… PowerDot.

A lot of people are intimidated by EMS, understandably: it doesn’t look like the most user-friendly device. In fact, it once wasn’t available for the average Joe to purchase. But the results were so significant that PowerDot made it so anyone can recover like a pro. Now, you don’t need to go to your PT for EMS. It’s right in your gym bag. Lightweight, comfortable, and portable.

That’s not all. There’s a lot more at work that makes PowerDot so special.

  • It requires minimal wiring and is controlled by your phone via Bluetooth.
  • It comes with numerous workouts programmed, including endurance, strength, active recovery, warm-up, and massage.
  • It’s suitable for any sport, including functional fitness, Olympic weightlifting, powerlifting, cycling, and football — and even anyone who is simply looking to recover from injury.
  • The device comes with four sets of electrode pads (which last for four months of active training), two lead cables (10cm and 25cm), a USB charging cable and a carrying case — everything you need all in one.
  • You can use the Uno or Duo — which has the same training programs but lets you work both sides of your body at the same time.
  • Instead of having to purchase a new device, the PowerDot application will update directly with new technological advancements.

Sound fancy? It is, but it’s real and it works. Here’s how: when you apply the electrodes to the body part you want to work on and push “Party Time” (just kidding — the button doesn’t say that), you’ll feel a tingling sensation in your muscles. You increase the intensity until you get to a contraction that’s more powerful but still comfortable. (Note: EMS should NOT hurt!) Through this stimulation, PowerDot will:

  • Reduce your muscular tension.
  • Stimulate blood flow.
  • Speed up your recovery
  • Improve endurance, explosiveness and even encourage injury healing.

In other words, PowerDot will not only help you recover, but it could help you feel better then you felt before the muscle soreness hit you like a ton of bricks.

Yes, of course, sure, you could wait for the pain to go away on its own, but this is the Open — who has that kind of time?! No one. That’s who. You need to be ready and feelin’ good now for five solid weeks so that you can crush every workout. Use PowerDot on your biceps. Use it on your triceps. Back. Abs. Quads. Calves. Glutes. Just use it. Immediately, if not sooner. You’ll be glad you did… because 19.2 will be here before you know it.
