What is Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training Using the B Strong System?

B Strong Training is a proprietary implementation of BFR training -- an exercise technique that safely manipulates the body’s circulatory system to illicit a systemic hormonal response. When combined with exercise or sport specific movement, BFR produces rapid gains in strength and fitness while using light-weights and low-intensity exercise -- in a very short period of time for youth training, to Olympian, to baby boomer, to senior rehab.

How Does BFR Work?

• B Strong inflatable bands are worn around the upper portion of the arms and /or legs to safely modify blood flow in the limbs.
• The B Strong bands are inflated to individualized pressures that are recommended in the B Strong BFR Training System app.
• The inflated B Strong bands create compression on the limbs, which slows the flow of blood through your veins, while still maintaining arterial inflow.
• The restriction or moderation of blood flow in the veins limits the amount of oxygen being delivered to the working muscles, thereby creating “stress” or “disruption of homeostasis,” which triggers numerous metabolic effects such as muscle and strength development, and cardiorespiratory fitness, while using low-load and low intensity exercise.
• This strong fatigue state triggers a natural, robust, hormonal cascade, which in turn produces hypertrophy and strength gains on par with intense exercise or traditional weight lifting.
• The hormones circulating in the blood stream benefit all areas of the body that are working, not just the restricted limb(s) or working muscles, creating a total body “Systemic Response.”

Results

The efficiency of B Strong BFR Training creates a paradigm shift in fitness! Now, weight training with half the weights in half the time can illicit remarkable whole body results, and its impact on cardio fitness is equally impressive.

How BFR training compares to regular exercise without bands? For an individual to achieve muscle fatigue from a traditional training session, he/she would have to lift heavy weights or push oneself for a long period of time to illicit the growth hormonal response needed to make strength gains or overall fitness improvements.

When following B STRONG banded protocols, lifting lighter weights “tricks” the muscle to fatigue because the brain “thinks” the body is lifting a heavy load or working at a higher intensity than it really is, so the athlete (young or old/fit or unfit) gets the desired physiologic response quickly without having to break down and damage muscle.

B Strong has created a safe, comfortable and effective, mild-to-moderate blood flow restriction device, that can optimize results while using body weight, light weights and lower intensity cardio exercise--when coupled with our program design recommendations.

How is B Strong BFR Training incorporated into all types of workout or rehab programs at clubs, clinics or performance training centers?

Many people ask if BFR replaces traditional strength training, high intensity interval training (HIIT), or steady state cardiovascular exercise, for example. The answer is “yes,” and “no.” Many 40-plus-year-old folks are transitioning to BFR workouts only for many of the benefits/reasons cited above. On the other hand, in some high-level athlete performance training, often traditional approaches plus BFR training are used.

Key Point: B Strong BFR training is totally adaptable to any fitness, performance or rehab goal enhancing results at a faster pace.

It’s easy, fun and safe and results oriented. Programs are ready to implement, and it makes fiscal sense because B Strong BFR Training support and increase current revenue stream, and helps with member retention. The free B Strong app explains different recommended pressures when using any combination of bands and how to safely progress your training programs.
