The market is full of supplements, promising you the amazing pump, or an increased blood supply to the muscles. Fresh blood carries more oxygen and nutrients, which means better recovery. But what if someone tells you that, the opposite may be true, i.e. instead of increased blood flow, reduced blood flow to a muscle can have anabolic effect. That’s Blood Flow Restriction training for you.
Blood Flow Restriction/Kaatsu/Occlusion training is not a new concept. Developed as a Japanese concept, the BFR training concept is one of the few proven concepts in building hypertrophy and strength in people of all ages, with much lesser intensity needed than the conventional resistance training workouts. It’s being now tested for use in astronauts. This Book will give you an excellent insight into the science, history and research on Blood Flow Restriction training, and the way you can incorporate this training in your daily life…
