Aug 30th 2017 - Alzheimers - Blood Restriction Workout - Unconscious Bias
Today we talk with Ryan Lowery about fueling the alzheimer's brain, we talk with Daniel Tague about blood flow restriction, and we talk with Rosalie Robinson about the unconscious bias.
Ryan Lowery discusses the Alzheimer's brain and fats we should be feeding our brain to lower the possibilities of early Alzheimer's.
Here are a few questions Daniel Tague answers on blood flow restrictions:
- What is blood flow restriction?a. A technique to restrict blood flow to the veins but not the arteriesb. You basically trap blood in the targeted muscle (pump)c. Causes lactic acid to get trapped in the muscle
- What is the benefit of using this technique in lifting?a. Less stress on the jointsb. Increase cell swelling/ increase muscle sizec. Increase strength after an injury/ rehabilitation
- How do you do it?a. Wrap the top portion of your bicep, triceps, or quads with knee wraps or a tourniquet band, tighten to a 7 out of 10 (if you feel numbness it is to tight).b. Use a weight that is 20-40% of one rep max. Do as many reps as you can squeezing the heck out of the muscle you are focused on.c. Rest for 30 seconds, do 3 sets
