Occlusion training on biceps.
I don't give a shit what it does scientifically or if science says it "works". I love the intense burn and swollen feel of my arms, I have never felt a "burn" like it in my life, it is very addictive. I also like looking down and seeing insane vascularity in the entire arm, makes you feel like fucking super man.
I swear it has made some significant changes in my arms' resting size and vascularity. I don't know the science behind it but doing it for 2 months now I definitely see veins in my forearms that weren't there, as well as slight changes in the crease near my bicep peak near the elbow crease area, something definitely changed..
Do you need to buy anything special for occlusion or could you use anything like a junkie desperately trying to find a vein? I find it really hard to get soreness in my biceps so I'm open to new ideas.
It's a well-known technique but rest-pause as used in DC works great, I just use more volume. For those that don't know go to failure at 8-10 reps, breathe 10-15 breaths, rep out as many as you can, maybe 4, then breathe 10-15, then rep out what you can, probably 3. Hts all fibres but not practical or safe on some movements.
Also, before someone else says it, cock up the ass while curling feels great.
