    But that's just it, they are the same pathways. The whole point of occlusion is to recreate the same environment in the muscle which occurs during high tension work: tetany and hypoxic environment. My understanding of ACIT is that it attempts to keep the muscle occluded without an external cuff...

    Agree, but of course they were untrained individuals, which is always the fly in the ointment so to speak.

    A New and Unique Training Method is Here

    While I'm all for real world testing, I understand how many, (including myself), wish to understand the science behind something before they undertake it. You came up with this system, (which I think is quite interesting), and you used occlusion science to back it up. When that science is called...

    I'm not going to pretend to know how to interpret a study better than you since I'm a layman, but I took it that there was no measurment done on Sunday, and on Monday, Kaatsu was at 6% above baseline, non Kaatsu was at 2%. How is that not signifcant? Also, at post testing the Kaatsu group was at...

    I saw you mention this before but I didn't see the same thing. Are you referencing the study "Skeletal muscle size and circulating IGF-1 are increased after two weeks of twice daily “KAATSU” resistance training"? Because as I see it on the 6th day of the study, the Kaatsu group was 7%...

    Obviously we have to take a slice of our muscles and analyze the fibers to really know Volunteers?

    What Aaron is pointing out is that there is no conclusive evidence that the size increase from occlusion is due to permanent changes in contractile tissue as opposed to temporary swelling from glycogen storage, except in one rat study, and Aaron doesn't like rats ;)

    ZMA

    And don't buy some over priced ZMA product if you want to try it. Buy a bottle of Zinc and a bottle of Mag.

    Johnston Rep Method

    I think you must be missing the sarcasm, which is surprising. Mathey is saying that the way the Jrep people are acting you'd think sharing Jrep info without money being exchanged is a crime. I may get sued here just for typing "Jrep".

    Johnston Rep Method

    Though this has been pointed out a number of times already, you seem to have missed the point, so I'll give it one more shot. If your weight and body comp did not change at all when using a routine, and your goal was to get bigger, the only answer available is you did not consume enough...

    Right, but the end result of the low oxygen environment and lactic acid buildup is the muslce goes into fused tetany earlier in a set. So instead of ony getting fused tetany in the last 3 or so reps of a set, you get fused tetany almost from the beginning reps, using lighter weight. Here's a...

    Just to be perfectly clear and paraphrase what you said, occlusion is pretty much preventing the lactic acid leaking out of your muscles and back into the bloodstream. And more or less ACIT is a way to keep your muscles occluded throughout your entire set. This gets the muscle to act as if it is...

    Johnston Rep Method

    Bottom line, if you come to a science based discussion board with something new, you better be willing to discuss the science behind it. For example, if you claim to have something that can actually change the shape of a muscle, for which there is no scientific evidence available, it might be...

    Johnston Rep Method

    I have no problem with someone wanting to profit from their ideas. However, if you expect people to pay for something, you better be able to defend it in public in a meaningfull way, or be willing to say "it works but I'm not really sure why". I guess the latter is essentially what is...
