Can you Build Muscle without Heavy Lifting?
Join Dr. Gabrielle Lyon as she sits down with Dr. Jeremy Loenneke, an associate professor of exercise science at the University of Mississippi and one of the world’s leading experts in blood flow restriction (BFR) training. They discuss the science behind skeletal muscle adaptation, how BFR can help you get stronger without heavy weights, and why muscle growth and strength aren’t always the same thing.
Dr. Loenneke shares insights on how BFR works—using low loads to trigger muscle adaptation and growth—and the potential benefits for recovery, rehabilitation, and even everyday training for those wanting to avoid joint strain. They also explore some fascinating phenomena like cross-education, where training one side of your body can strengthen the other side.
Key Highlights:
- The basics and benefits of blood flow restriction training
- How to build muscle with low weight loads
- The difference between muscle growth and muscle strength
- Practical applications of BFR in both sports and rehabilitation
Don’t miss out on these expert insights that can transform your approach to exercise and recovery. Let’s take your fitness knowledge to the next level!
Who is Dr. Jeremy Loenneke?
Dr. Jeremy Loenneke is an Associate Professor of Exercise Science at The University of Mississippi within the School of Applied Sciences. He received his MS in Nutrition and Exercise Science from Southeast Missouri State University and his PhD in Exercise Physiology from the University of Oklahoma. He is the director of the Kevser Ermin Applied Physiology Laboratory and his research group’s primary focus is on skeletal muscle adaptations to exercise with and without the application of blood flow restriction. His recent work has also focused on addressing whether or not muscle growth contributes to changes in strength with exercise. Dr. Loenneke is a Fellow of the American College of Sports Medicine and a member of the American Physiological Society. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed articles and is an Associate Editor for PLOS One, Peer J, and Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport.
