Occulusion TrainingWhat if I were to tell you that one method of training has been proven to cause significant hypertrophy in numerous scientific studies? That it involved lifting weights that are about half the poundage you'd typically use? Then what if I told you that the method stimulates growth by reducing blood flow to the muscles you're working? You'd probably say I'm an idiot and turn the page - but then you'd remember that I mentioned scientific research. Ah, you are interested. The method is called occlusive training, and it's been around for a while, racking up unbelievable results backed by solid data. For some reason nobody's jumped on the concept, but I'm here to tell you how you can integrate it into your current training to help slap on some big-time muscle.
