Discovered in the late 1960s, blood flow restriction (BFR) training is a well-researched fitness training method that manipulates the body’s circulatory system to produce rapid gains in strength and fitness using light weights in a very short period of time. This is done through the proper use of personalized, inflated bands during exercise, which produces hypertrophy and strength gains on par with heavy anaerobic training or traditional weight lifting, but with less time and effort. In other words, BFR gives you better results in less time.

How? Low-load training with elastic and pneumatic BFR bands increases growth hormone production and other anabolic compounds, which studies have proven to enhance rehabilitation. In turn, this increases components of healing, bone growth and bone density, and reduces overall healing time. BFR is shown to provide cardiovascular, endocrine, and musculoskeletal advantages, similar to the systemic benefits found in high-intensity training, but without the risk of injury found in heavyweight or compound movements.

When using B Strong, not only is recovery time reduced but exercise duration is reduced. Workouts are 2.5-4.5% more powerful with an 18-20% increase in strength, when compared to not using the system. When muscles fail and fatigue in non-BFR training, muscles get damaged. However, with B Strong BFR, oxygen and blood are safely restricted to working muscles, which quickly produces strong fatigue in the muscle. The induced strong fatigue triggers the brain to release a systemic hormonal cascade - including a robust production of human growth hormone - making users stronger with little or no muscle damage thanks to the lighter weights needed.
