Occlusion Training

[Jeremy24]

Any thoughts on this guys and gals, it seems interesting to me. Basially you occulded vascularity to a muscle for a brief period (10 minutes) of intense sets. Suppose to induce higher hypertrophy. I could see doing it for the 7s on fst-7 for bis.

I just read that

I just recently read an article in MD that said the same thing. I'm thinking of tying tourniquets to my arms and banging out some curls. Anybody know if this works?

Layne was sayin that he did this for his shoulders and it made a huge diffrence

I tried it for arms i tied my knee wraps around... probably the most painful thing i have done training wise. Layne covers it in his dvd.

You need to lower weights substantially to utilize this method! Despite the hype, it seems that regular training is more effective than Kaatsu training.

Any truth to this?

ever notice how for every single sport out there, there is generally only 1 real scientifically proven recommended way to train?

yet for bodybuilding, there seems to be a new method on how to train every week?

i remember seeing something on it about2 or 3 years ago i think. a doctor from japan or somewhere was talking about it. the risks he said is that the blood is trapped and can do damage if the tourniquets are left on to long. i thought about trying it but never have.
