Been a fan of yours for a while and thanks for providing this forum.
Had a question about EMS, I bought a Compex unit recently and wanted your perspective. I know opinions vary between supplementing workouts, replacing workouts, and being junk.
Curious as to if you had any opinion(s)

I'm sorry, this is a strength training board.

How does electrical stimulation produce an effect that demands sufficient force production that will then cause adaptation?
Is there a specific claim that surrounds electrical stimulation that people commonly espouse?

You just have to crank up the voltage.

That's right, if you get across mains voltage from your house supply you either become paralyzed or dead. It is the frequency that causes an interruption to heartbeat rhythm and you go into fibrillation. Not really pleasant.
Very helpful, wal.

Do I need a Starting Strength Coach or does a specific program in the gray book give the best path to a 600 lbs deadlift, currently 5 '10 37 years old 230 lbs. 485 squat, 365 bench, 500 dead, 225 press. I’ve been running programs for 3 years now currently on the tail end of the gray books Starr 3 day model. 465 for 5 last week peaking out, going to rack pulls this week.
Are you asking if there is a specific program that takes you from a 500 to 600 deadlift?
I'm asking which is the best program out of the book do you think that will get me to a 600 deadlift
Without knowing anything at all about your training, I'd advise a rack pull/halting DL program.
