Key considerations when training with blood flow restriction: loading, pace, rest, and risks Analyzing blood flow restriction studies and the relationship between muscle size and strength Is increasing muscular strength dependent on increasing muscle size? How can athletes and average people benefit from blood flow restriction training? In which situations is blood flow restriction training most advantageous? What are the mechanisms behind blood flow restriction training's effectiveness? Exploring applications of “passive” blood flow restriction training What experiments would Jeremy undertake with unlimited resources?
