High-intensity training methods are generally recommended to increase muscle mass and strength, with loads of 60-70% 1RM for novice 80-100% advanced individuals. Blood flow restriction training, despite using lower intensities (30-50% 1RM), can provide similar improvements in strength. However, studies commonly investigate the effects blood large muscular groups, whereas there few that investigated those smaller such as muscles involved grasping (e.g, wrist flexors; finger flexors)....
