The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.
i think the real utility of using blood flow attrition is the fact that you can use it with very low loads so i think that's the benefit we have we've tried to combine it with high loads in different aspects and other people have run training studies with it but it's not additive
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.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
if you do blood photoshoot that exercise with low loads assuming it's not extremely low like if you're around 20 or 30 percent you will get stronger but it will be much to a much lighter to a much smaller degree than you would with traditional exercise
and to make them equal you will just have to go more on the you'll have to go to a greater degree of reps on the unrestricted side to failure basically correct yep and therefore it takes more time to get the same effect
when you only look at the studies with low loads that don't practice doing the 1rm test repeatedly almost all of them lose the high load exercise just again illustrating the point that it's about lifting heavy weight is the best way to get better at lifting heavy weight
it doesn't add anything more to high low training and it's probably because you know high load normal exercise is a maximal stimulus so it's hard to maximize something that's probably already pretty much maximal in a given training session
and i think that that's a very important point and we actually reviewed this uh we published a paper on this topic where we show that when you only look at the studies with low loads that don't practice doing the 1rm test repeatedly almost all of them lose the high load exercise
But you still will get...this, again, has been taken...it's not binary, it's not strength, no strength, you just don't get quite as much strength. But you can substantially improve your strength as well, even in well-trained subjects.
