when you occlude your arm for example well distal to that occlusion lactate is going through the roof because you're exercising that arm and you're not letting the lactate clear out of circulation

The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

so um four days a week you know I'll do Blood Flow Restriction at the end of every workout so uh two days will be upper body two days will be lower body and especially on the lower body days so you've got these huge cuffs at the upper part of your thighs and I'll do you know leg presses leg extension leg curl and finish up on an air bike and by the time you take those cuffs off all that lactate that's been pooling in your legs for 10 minutes will flush through systemically and your systemic lactate level surges so even though your levels get to what's your life oh I mean not as high as I would get on an all-out Sprint I mean like the highest I've ever had my lactate is about an 18 or 19 but I can still hit the mid teens doing um doing Blood Flow Restriction
