This is a YouTube video titled "Blood Flow Restriction Training | Magnus Lygdbäck x Dave Asprey" featuring a discussion between Dave Asprey and Magnus Lygdbäck recorded in July 2024. The content is a conversation focused on blood flow restriction training, muscle growth, and rehabilitation techniques, with Magnus sharing his personal experience and insights on effective muscle training strategies.
How about blood flow restriction? You ever messed around with that?
I have.
What do you think?
I tore my. My bicep a couple years ago, and in my rehab I did that.
Okay. And I did an episode a while ago on that with the guys from B Strong. And it's. It's really interesting. I mean, you put these bands on and you, you don't, you know that. That restrict, but don't fully restrict blood flow, and you don't have to have much weight and you just grow muscle. It's. It's kind of ridiculous.
Yeah. So I'm not an expert when it comes to the science, how backed up by science, if it works or not, but a lot of people are swearing by it and it looks like it. It's really beneficial, and that's good enough for me.
I may or may not have done that yesterday I was doing a bunch of filming, and also in the morning I brought my bands and I pumped them up, and for about two days afterwards, like, there's an inch more blood flow, so at least you're getting a pump. But the science that I've seen shows via something called HIF1alpha, it actually is growing more blood flow, and by changing lactic acid levels, it is growing more muscles. So fantastic. I'm a believer. Yeah, but you can't exactly restrict blood flow to your butt. And at least 51% of our listeners like, how do I get bigger muscles in my butt? So tell me, Magnus, what is. What is the secret having junk in your trunk?
Well, the key if you want to build great glutes, is to. To work all three glute muscles of all, and not just the big one. I think that you should work all the muscles in your body about two times a week, anything from one, two to three times, depending on the load and how many sets. But if you want to develop a nice glute muscle or a bicep, I would say one and a half times per week is pretty ideal with depending on the muscle group as well, anything from nine to up to 18 sets.
