A muscle training method includes the following steps that are repeated alternately to perform training of a muscle of a user: a pressuring and exercise step (S30, S50, S70, S90) of winding a belt around at least one of four limbs of the user and applying specific pressure thereto so as to restrict blood circulation of the muscle of the user without stopping the blood circulation, and asking the user to perform load-applied exercise to apply load of specific weight to the muscle of the user; and an exercise stopping step (S40, S60, S80, S100) of asking the user to stop the load-applied exercise while continuously applying the specific pressure to the user. The specific weight is set at a value smaller than maximum weight necessary for the user to exert maximum muscle force.
