Recovery Tip of the Day: Incorporate Occlusion Stretching Post-Lift
If foam rolling feels like a mild suggestion, try occlusion stretching for a real post-lift wake-up call. By lightly restricting blood flow with wraps or bands and then stretching the target muscle, you flood it with fresh nutrients and growth signals once the restriction is off. Think of it as a deep tissue massage with a pump bonus. Just don’t crank the bands too tight, you’re chasing recovery, not a tourniquet.
