Does not make sense unless it is extremely low loads. Recruitment principles should largely be the same. Many studies looking at this topic are poor but if metabolic stress did improve growth we'd see it via post-exercise occlusion and we see detriment or null effects.

no theyre not. troll elsewhere

is that a serious question? Unsure.

@@thebfrpros3070 Why shouldn't that be a serious question?

@@elvis.cunningham I don't get sarcasm over comments section. Lengthened partials are probably best integrated in traditional means without BFR.

@@thebfrpros3070 There was no sarcasm in my question. I don't know why you interpreted it that way. But now you have answered my question, so thank you.

@@elvis.cunningham no worries! Thx for the question

there's plenty of work in this space to be done.

Thanks for being a valued member and collaborator!

would not recommend saga given my past experience...but that's just me!

@thebfrpros3070 any chance you could elaborate on your experience with SAGA? Thanks

@@grantpokarier7412 unreliable bluetooth.

@thebfrpros3070 damn that's a shame. So I guess the more reliable method would be using the hand pump and the equation for figuring out pressure. Great channel, by the way. I'm not sure why you don't have a ton more views.

@@grantpokarier7412 thank you. and there are other tech out there like smarttools that are more expensive but worth the investment and are not as unreliable.

appreciate the support for the show and yes, Sam is a voice of reason and not too bad on the eyes...right Sam?

Fair enough. Noted for sure. Thanks for the listen.

I love Paul, but it was Paul everytime interrupting. At about 1 hour point I was waiting for the host to have a word and when he did, Paul interrupted him everytime, so much so that I was always waiting for him to interrupt, and he always did lol.

well gradually bring the podcasts over to as many platforms as we can!!

seems some of his ideas have held while others have not.

You fling enough shit at a wall, some of it will stick. He came out with a lot of whacky ideas which had no base of concrete evidence, he got some things right, but most of his ideas have been disproven in studies.

@@Zombies8MyPizza A lot of ideas? Let see... train super intense and have a lot of rest. That is basically all HIT

@@fortnex9972 He claimed that bodybuilders of his era were all training incorrectly with too much volume and that you should not train a muscle more than once per week, some muscles even no more than once every two weeks. It's been proven by studies that growth generally has a dose-dependent trend, where more sets per week = more growth. Obviously to a point, but that point is still being established and is far beyond what we once thought. A recent study showed that 50+ sets per muscle per week to failure saw subjects recovering and growing still. Studies also show that subjects typically respond better to higher frequencies than once per week, especially when weekly volume is increased. So his claims were totally false and based on nothing. Does HIT work? Yes, it does. Were Mike's methods even optimal? No, not at all, some of his volumes per muscle per week were far too low even for going beyond failure. Dorian Yates and Dante Trudel came up with far better variations of HIT based off Arthur and Mike's philosophies.

@@Zombies8MyPizza shut up phony

We commissioned this video and fully own it. We have credited HoH elsewhere. Thanks though, keeping us honest ;)

yes, but metabolic stress is the vehicle to get mechanical tension.

@@thebfrpros3070 no, there have been studies that showed that you can achive mechanical tension without metabolic stress, by using longer rest periods between reps, proving metabolic stress not the driver for hypertrophy but rather mechanical tension on its own is the main and only driver

@@Marewhey you're missing the entire point of using BFR. I'm well aware of the nuance you're attempting to draw but that is impossible with lower loads typically used with BFR.

@@thebfrpros3070 you are right that accumulation of metabolites will allow for mechanical tension with lower loads

@@Marewhey if youve read any of our work, we are proponents of the MT model but there are more than one way to accumulate MT

thank you!

Ask him yourself...

Thank you!

We hope you found value in this content!

Just because you're a bodybuilder doesn't make your OPINION more important than the papers and research based in science that says that BFR does work and has certain uses in rehabilitation and hypertrophy.🤦🏻‍♀️

@@rockabillyace358 Well, professor I have news for you, people who write those papers and the scientists you credit this Godaweful contraption to, Have never even stepped in the gym once themselves .I think I know a bit about hypertrophy after a life of Bodybuilding , But if you want to believe " scientists" over experience youre more than welcome to. I myself prefer real life training methods, proven to work by men who have actually achieved hypertrophy .

@@nicholasrolnick1711 muscle hypertrophy can be achieved by many methods but not this...Progressive overload, volume training, High intensity training, pyramid style training,the list goes on..These are indeed scientificly proven,. Now, I will no more entertain your huge ego anymore by going back and forth with you,

@@michelrood2966 speaking truth

What about trying to stay in shape after a injury or surgery where weight limits have been implemented

I wouldn't recommend given they're cheaply made. Best to err on the side of caution and precision in our opinion.

@@thebfrpros3070 yeah right
