B-STRONG BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION (BFR) BANDS
This revolutionary blood flow restriction training device, designed for optimum efficiency and user safety and backed by a myriad of scientific studies, enables individuals to strength train with low-load resistance and achieve increases in muscle size and strength that are comparable to those typically seen with traditional high-load (>60% 1RM) resistance strength training.
Blood Flow Resistance (BFR) training using B-STRONG BFR bands involves the partial restriction of arterial blood flow to the exercising muscles while restricting venous blood flow from those muscles, but not occluding the blood flow which could lead to complications. This partial restriction, compared to occlusion, makes the B-STRONG BFR bands the safest BFR system on the market and can be used anywhere and by anyone. The use of blood pressure cuffs, surgical tourniquets, or bands that fully restrict arterial or venous blood flow could prove detrimental to vascular health.
How Do the B-STRONG Blood Flow Resistance Bands Work?
- The bands are placed at the proximal end of the limb, arm or leg, that you are exercising.
- The uniquely designed BFR bands are inflated to individualized pressures prescribed by the B-SRONG BFR Training System. This ensures appropriate arterial inflow to the working muscles when safety rules, cautions, and app guidelines are followed. This mitigates the risk for complications.
- As you engage in specifically designed low-load resistance or aerobic exercise regimens the compression of the vasculature proximal to the exercising muscle or muscle group produces an ischemic/hypoxic state known as metabolic stress. Under these conditions, the lack of oxygen and the buildup of metabolic waste byproducts in the muscle, there are physiological and hormonal responses similar to what is seen during high-level exercise. This leads to a series of physiological and hormonal responses that stimulate protein synthesis for muscle growth.
B-STRONG BFR Bands are Built for Quality and Durability
B-STRONG blood flow resistance bands are the result of long-term quality control testing, hundreds of prototype designs that evolved over time, the use of highest quality band material and Velcro, and a unique design to withstand the rigors of high use customers in the US military and training gyms to provide over 10,000 uses. The pumps have been custom designed for industrial application or rugged settings.
Who Typically Uses Blood Flow Resistance Bands?
- Physical therapists rehabilitating Individuals recovering from injury and post-surgery
- Elderly individuals who want to regain their strength to enable their participation in basic activities of daily living, and do so under low stress conditions as not to risk injury that might be associated with high-level resistance training
- Personal Trainers (commercial and military) working with their clients to help them achieve results and in a faster manner to help them keep motivated to soldier on in their fitness goals
- Literally anyone who wants to return to sport, work, full function as soon as possible or simply improve their overall fitness, muscle strength, and size
B-STRONG Blood Flow Restriction Band Size Options
To determine the band size most appropriate for your limb (arm or leg) size, take a soft measuring tape and measure the circumference of your arm and leg as shown in the illustration, with the arm measurement above the biceps and below the deltoid muscles of the upper arm, and the leg measurement high on the thigh, but in the seated position.
