KAATSU intermittent hypoxia system:

. preventing blood flow during weightlifting

causes full exhaustion of even the 

fast-twitch muscle fibers,

for exercise that gives you

faster, more powerful muscles.

. you can do this by using weight machines

that keep tension on the muscle between reps,

or you can use tight bands that reduce blood flow.

. Dr.Mercola recommends "using the 

KAATSU intermittent hypoxia system

https://www.kaatsu.com/index.cfm?Action=Store.Details&pid=34

developed by Dr. Yoshiaki Sato. 

BFR[blood flow restriction]  can be done with restriction bands, 

but KAATSU uses a device that provides intermittent 

and not just constant pressure, which is far safer."

. it's much more expensive than a gym membership,

and it can target fewer muscles than weight machines.
