Question: "Can I really build muscle without lifting weights using the Power Plate??"
Answer: Yes. Standing, stretching, or doing simple body-weight moves on a Power Plate recruits FAR more muscle fibers than the same moves on the floor, and studies show you can gain strength and even lean mass over 12–24 weeks with no external weights AT ALL. For maximal growth you’d still layer WBV onto resistance work, but for people who can’t—or won’t—lift, the Plate is the next-best mechanical stimulus available.
Question: How is this possible?
Answer: It's not just 100% higher muscle fiber activation. It also involves the "repair/stem cells" inside your body. People have between 300 million and 1 billion of these cells in the body.
What's interesting is these cells can EITHER repair the body or store energy. (Create fat). When you use a Power Plate (even for 10 minutes a day) you PROGRAM your repair/stem cells to build muscle and bone, and not build more fat.
KEY POINT==>> When a stem cell decides whether to become fat, bone, or muscle, that decision changes the structure of your body.
It’s not a chemical reaction like burning glucose; it’s a developmental choice that dictates which kinds of tissue you’ll have more of tomorrow.
