Premium Occlusion Training Bands Our occlusion training bands are made from high quality strong woven elastic. They are 2inches wide with a durable metal slider and a strong Hook & Loop fastening mechanism. The two sizes (Medium for arms and Large for legs) Our team of sport science experts have tested numerous occlusion band and cuff designs and have found the metal slider by far the easiest to apply, adjust and remove with one arm when training your upper limbs. Our Occlusion Training - Quick Guide Slide your occlusion band over your arm or leg to the top of the limb, pull tight and secure with the Hook & Loop strap. We recommend approximately a 7/10 pressure - they should not be uncomfortable at rest. When muscle growth is the goal we recommend applying the occlusion bands after your heavier compound exercises and using them for your lighter, higher volume isolation exercises. Occlusion Training Works - Quick Guide Occlusion bands restrict venous return of blood from your limbs but not arterial inflow. This gives you a very strong muscle pump and causes an increased build-up of acid and pressure in your muscles which signals for large increases in growth hormone and gonadotrophin. During occlusion training there is also less oxygen available to the working muscles, which causes the fast twitch muscle fibres to do more work because your slow twitch muscle fibres require oxygen. Fast twitch muscle fibres are larger and have a greater capacity for growth.
