Muscle Growth Without Heavy Lifting: The Science Behind Suji

Build muscle without lifting heavy. Suji uses smart, targeted compression to trigger hypertrophy at low loads — helping you get stronger with less strain, less pain, and faster recovery. Trusted by pros, backed by science, made for real life.

Muscle Growth Without Heavy Lifting: The Science Behind Suji

At Suji, we’re changing how people think about building muscle by making it smarter, safer, and more sustainable. With our Targeted Compression Technology (TCT), you can trigger real muscle growth using lighter loads, lower intensity, and less strain on your joints. The result? You get stronger, faster — without risking injury or grinding through heavy sets.

Here’s how it works.

The Physiology of Low-Load Hypertrophy

Normally, building muscle requires lifting weights that push your body close to failure. But there’s another way. When you reduce blood flow to a limb — a method known as Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training — your body responds as if you're lifting heavy, even when you're not.

Training with Suji:

  • Strategically reduces blood flow to working muscles

  • Creates an oxygen-limited environment that rapidly fatigues the muscle

  • Forces your body to recruit fast-twitch fibers responsible for growth and strength

  • Boosts muscle-building hormones like growth hormone and IGF-1

  • Increases protein synthesis and hypertrophy — all with light weights or bodyweight

You get the benefits of intense strength training without the joint wear and tear.

Why Suji Works Better

Suji is more than just compression. It’s a guided system built for results.

  • Smart calibration matches the compression to your body

  • App-led workouts walk you through every step

  • Programming is designed by experts in sports and rehab

  • Compact and travel-ready, so you can train or recover anywhere

No guesswork. Just consistent progress.

Who It’s For

Suji is for:

  • People recovering from injury or dealing with joint pain

  • Runners, cyclists, and endurance athletes looking to stay strong without extra volume

  • Adults over 40 who want to preserve or rebuild muscle

  • Athletes who want an edge in performance and recovery

Physical therapists use it. Pro athletes rely on it. And everyday movers trust it to help them stay strong without strain.

From Rehab to Results

This type of training was first used in medical rehab to help people maintain strength after surgery. Now it’s used by Olympians, NFL and NBA teams, and thousands of active adults to build muscle, reduce pain, and recover faster.

Suji brings that clinical-grade innovation into your daily routine — no appointments, no bulky gear.

Stronger Muscles. Less Strain.

You don’t need to beat up your body to make gains. Whether you’re training around pain, coming back from an injury, or just want a smarter way to stay strong, Suji helps you build muscle with less load and more confidence.

Feel the difference in one session. Stay stronger for life.
