unlikely imo. the way i think the way it works is that chi is normally running smoothly like a stream. you can block a stream, but to make it flow faster you need open up the stream to a different source. the only way i see that you can increase you're internal energy is from peace of mind (making sure there is no self imposed block) and outside sources of chi energy like the moon, the sun, or the avatar spirits. the basic concept of chiblocking is damaging the physical pathway that chi take through the body...that technique simply cant be applied in any way to make the stream flow better, just worse. to sum it up, i think chi blocking is just a physical technique that is unrelated to anything that "amplifies" bending
