B STRONG BFR IS BACKED BY SCIENCE
B Strong Blood Flow Restriction Training Improving Physical Therapy OutcomeS and Athletic Performance
JIM STRAY-GUNDERSEN, MD, :
"At first very skeptical, I tested BFR on the Olympians I was training. We quickly realized how impactful elastic BFR could be to all populations looking to quickly increase strength, power, muscle, lean body mass, and overall fitness. I sought to develop B Strong BFR, the safest and most effective elastic BFR system which does not impede the arterial circulation."

Blood Flow Restriction or BFR Training, is quickly becoming a catalytic tool for Physical Therapists, Personal Trainers, Strength and Conditioning Coaches, Medical Doctors, High Performance Directors, Athletes, Baby Boomers, and Youth Sport Coaches. Proper BFR, using safe and effective BFR equipment, has been proven to enhance muscular strength and hypertrophy in several populations, improve fitness, and lessen injuries. BFR combined with low-load, low-intensity, and low-impact exercises can improve bone formation, elevate EPOC, and elicit a robust hormonal response including growth hormone. Cognitive Improvements, Systemic and Vascular health improvements, are also being studied.

How Does B Strong BFR Work?
Optimize Function: Application and use of (B Strong) BFR Bands provides a more efficient option to optimize Physical Therapy Outcomes and Function, and enhance Performance
Training Results: A smarter, safer, approach which is researched and shown to improve overall strength and fitness in less time, using lighter loads, than traditional PT or training.
Robust Hormonal Response/Systemic Effect: BFR bands are worn around the upper portion of the arms/or legs to safely restrict blood flow in the limb, quickly resulting in strong fatigue to the working muscle while only using light weight loads or no added load at all. The BFR "feeling" mimics that of lifting heavy load lifting. The result is a systemic effect which elicits a hormonal cascade, including growth hormone. This systemic effect is part of the mechanism of healing.
Non Tethered/Easy to Use: Unlike traditional BFR bands, B Strong BFR bands are inflated to individualized pressures prescribed by our B Strong Training System.
Less Time: One is able to achieve a full-body workout in only 20-30 minutes while reducing the risk of injury from lifting heavy loads.
Numerous Applications: B Strong BFR can be incorporated in any physical therapy session, workout routine, including running, swimming, biking, yoga, resistance training.
Summary: Blood flow restriction training is a revolutionary way to optimize outcomes. B Strong safely modifies the blood flow to the limb during exercise to make the brain think the muscle is working hard. This triggers a robust, anabolic, hormonal release into the bloodstream. The systemic response, the key to BFR, affects all working and healing tissue. Increased growth hormone levels promote improved energy levels, increased performance, promote anti-aging and help to maintain bone density. In other words, your whole body benefits from this type of training. Benefits can be felt quickly in only a few sessions.

Introduction to Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Course
Would you like to get stronger and leaner, improve performance and recover faster? The B Strong Training System uses elastic “blood flow restriction” (BFR) exercises to elicit an anabolic neuro-humoral response normally associated with intense exhaustive work, to produce quick and significant gains in strength and fitness.
Whether you work with weekend warriors or elite athletes, learn how to use the safe and effective B Strong Bands to create a metabolic cascade that will produce incredible adaptations and training results. You’ll put the bands on and learn how to maximize endurance, strength, power and overall fitness in less time, using lighter absolute loads which results in faster recovery, improved conditioning and enhanced performance. Optimize your athletic and small group training programs and gain an edge with this revolutionary training method!

BENEFITS
Gain More While Doing Less
One of the biggest benefits of BFR training is the ability to achieve the same results from low intensity resistance exercises as those achieved through high-intensity resistance training (i.e weightlifting). With BFR training, you use much lighter weights. This makes BFR training ideal for people that cannot lift heavy weights due to injury, age or other factors.
Increased Strength and Muscle Size
Even though very light weights are used, BFR training increases protein synthesis similar to traditional strength training. The increase in protein synthesis combined with reduced muscle damage puts the body in the best possible position for building lean muscle. Because BFR causes less muscle damage, gains have been observed faster than in traditional strength training.
Anti-Aging Effects
BFR training with B Strong stimulates the production of Growth Hormone which helps promote growth of lean muscle. BFR training produces a “systemic effect” due to the hormonal release into the body’s circulatory system. While only arms and/or legs may have been under restriction, the hormonal release into the blood stream goes everywhere and benefits any are of the body that was exercised (core, back, etc). Doing low intensity workouts with B STRONG allows you to get the maximum benefits without the wear and tear on your body.
Recovery
BFR training allows individuals recovering from a hard workout, competition, or injury to maintain physical fitness, increase strength, and reduce atrophy. By limiting blood flow to the muscles, users can work the muscles without placing excessive weight on the limb. If a part of the body is comprised from being able to tolerate normal training, BFR may provide an alternative form of training to still fatigue the body without added stress. In addition, the systemic aspect of BFR means that non-compromised parts of the body may be trained as normal, so instead of sitting around waiting for the body to repair itself, you can actively produce an anabolic release (i.e. Growth Hormone, etc) that benefits all parts of the body. For injury recovery, always consult a qualified medical professional for proper care and guidance.
TESTIMONIALS
Mark Wahlberg
"I get results. I'm getting twice the pump in half the time and getting more results, and I've been able to work twice as hard. B Strong, Baby."
Olympians
"I started B Strong BFR workouts when I was recovering from a hip injury. The benefits of these short workouts in strength and fitness were surprising. I found B Strong not only helped make me stronger in my injury side but also throughout my body."
Knee Reconstruction Patient
"Anyone going through a surgery like mine (ACL, PCL, LCL) I would definitely recommend this as a form of exhausting your body, exhausting your legs, and being able to build the muscle and build the strength to make progress."
