What is B Strong:

B Strong is an affordable cutting-edge proprietary implementation of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) training—an exercise technique that manipulates the body’s circulatory system, and when combined with exercise, produces rapid gains in strength and fitness using light weights and in a short period of time. The B Strong inflatable bands are worn around the upper portion of the arms and/or legs to safely slow the blood in the limb. The BFR bands are inflated to individualized pressures prescribed by the B Strong BFR Training System and then simple, low-load exercise produces profound muscle “burn” comparable to intense anaerobic training. This strong fatigue triggers a natural, robust, hormonal cascade, which in turn produces hypertrophy and strength gains on par with heavy exercise or traditional weightlifting. The hormones circulating in the blood stream benefit all areas of the body that were working, not just the restricted limb or limbs, thus creating a “Systemic Response.” 

B Strong BFR bands helps you improve any number of areas including peak performance, recovery from injury, injury prevention, maintaining fitness at any age, and provides quicker weight loss results than the average workout.

The B Strong BFR Training System is a compact, lightweight package that has all the essentials you need to get stronger, rapidly build lean muscle, and live a healthier, happier life. It includes 4 BFR bands, 1 pair for your arms and 1 pair for your legs, 1 hand pump, 1 carrying case and 1 license for the B Strong guidance app which provides video instructions and tutorials that will teach you the basics of blood flow restriction training with B Strong.
