Does anyone have any guidelines concerning the protocols for Kaatsu lifting (occluding the muscle via bands)? I first heard of it when Berardi mentioned it in his summary of the ACSM conference, yet a google search yielded almost entirely Japanese results (which I am unable to translate. The idea is certainly intriguing.
BTW, it was sad that so many of the studies were essentially reproductions of things that are already well-known (re: “old hat”) in the strength and BB community. While I’m all for a rigorous implementation of the scientific method, how much more time and money will be wasted telling us to consume a liquid protein/carb solution post-training?
