They cause blood and metabolites to pool in a muscle, making it fatigue earlier. It makes lower effort training more intense and stimulating to the muscle.
Exercise gimmicks that work.
These things are based.
The real redpill is the fact that high rep lower weight high fatigue training achieves the same result as BFR training since the demand for blood in your muscles exceeds your supply at high fatigue levels. This means that higher rep training is far superior to lower rep training because not only do you get the muscle building benefits but also the fat burning / cardio benefits and it also saves your joints.
if you know how to do it, you're fine, but if you cut off too much blood supply you can harm yourself. Doing it with a device will just reduce the amount of weight you can do and will generally be more efficient.
endurance athletes are endurance athletes, which means they do not want large bodies. What you are referring to is more of a function of diet and not training. Moreover, research points to 30% 1rm or more in regards to muscle growth stimulation.
Do a heavy cardio routine and account for calories and eat in a surplus, see how big your legs grow.
You're completely wrong about everything. There's just a very big difference between cardio and endurance training with weights. You usually run into issues with rep counts >20 for compound movements with sufficient weight to stimulate muscle growth. That's still a 400m run in body movement terms. People are just so stupid they hear endurance and think it's the same thing as cardio
Provided that you have fatigued your muscles, they will grow. You absolutely can build muscle if your reps are above 20, there's no research to refute this, and the research that we have supports this. You just have to understand how fatigue works and how muscles work.
Here's a 4 minute video showing how muscles work.

>You absolutely can build muscle if your reps are above 20
Of course you can, and probably well into rep counts of 50 and above, theoretically. You just gas before you can stimulate your muscle enough on compound exercises. The same way cardio has issues and usually doesn't hit your muscles enough after a brief period of adaptation, because cardio is literally exercise for you heart

This all depends on what you mean specifically when referring to cardio. Ideally, it is keeping your HR around 60-75% of max HR for greater than 20 minutes. You can lift weights as a means to do this.

Thats why compounds are best done no more than 12 reps and sets of 20 are good for isolation work like curls, calves, facepulls, abs, etc

20 reps is cutting it close but still fine. Sets past 30 tend to be too low intensity to cause much growth even with adequate fatigue.
lmao those are track cyclists, those people hit the gym more than the velodrome and compete on short runs on fixies with stupid high gearing, definitively not your average road cyclist, plus roids.

Yeah bro riding a bike will get you Ronnie Coleman legs. All the people squatting are morons they just need an exercise bike and 20 minutes of cardio a day.
red roller works strictly for abs
black and red roller for shoulder and abs activation
blue roller is for trannies
Blue in fact keeps your balls from overheating, so your T will stay high. Red makes you overheat and your T will drop. Red rollers are literally for roiding egolifters.
I lift so when zoomers pull one of there dumbass YouTube pranks on me I can hit them hard enough they will think before they ever do it to another person
Occlusion training has been a studied and documented thing for a long time now.
changed my life right now, with a shoulder injury I can still lift because of them
I don't know what this is, can you ELI5?

I use bfr with dumbbells with high reps (20, 18, 16), should I not be doing that?
if you know how to do it, you're fine, but if you cut off too much blood supply you can harm yourself. Doing it with a device will just reduce the amount of weight you can do and will generally be more efficient.
I take them off after each set for rests and then put them on
Must be why all those endurance athletes are so jacked.

guy in the middle squats like 250+ for reps lol
regulary
Is that supposed to be impressive? I was 140lb DYEL doing SS and got up to that in a month while the rest of my lifts stalled
250kg

yea you are right
Must be it yah

Weak b8.
Do these do shit?
You can use them to bake cookies
>blue abs roller

WHATS WRONG WITH BLUE
(I use red btw)
I dont have a vegana or take it up the ass so no
so mouf only?
Try doing a plank by rolling forward like that. Its pretty hard.

black and red roller for shoulder and abs activation

How do they work different parts of the body if they are all ab wheels?
Forgive me im moronic
The colors indicate wheel speed, resistance, friction and rating
Not all wheels are the same
i cant do it to him, anon... he seems so oblivous to whats happening
I like to use these in the yoga room and go VROOM VROOM BEEPBEEP
If you have a strong enough core to use them without your arms or lower back taking over, they're one of the best tools for an ab workout
No. Gloves won't stop calluses.

Anyone actually have experience with these? I’ve toyed with the idea but I’m still convinced they’re mostly a meme
Yes it works, and it also makes it so your tendons dont grow at the speed of your muscles, and makes your journey to SNAP CITY 10000x more likely.
stupid frick.
