BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION (BFR) EXERCISE PROTOCOL
lifting right by lifting light
What is BFR (Blood Flow Restriction)?
Unlock your potential in strength training without the need to lift heavy weights.
By precisely occluding specific veinous blood flow, BFR Training allows you to use lighter, manageable weights while achieving better strength results safely.
You mean you don't need to lift heavy to get strong???
That's
right!
So how does BFR benefit you?
Clinical studies revealed:
Muscle Function:
Resistance walking with BFR resulted in a 2.5-4.5 fold greater improvement in performance on all measures of physical function among older adults following 24 sessions as compared to non-BFR walking.
Muscle Size:
Muscle size increased by 20.3% following 16 weeks of BFR Training.
Muscle Strength:
Strength increase 18.4-20.8% following 16 weeks of BFR Training.
Hormonal Response:
GH (Growth Hormone) increased 78x compared to the control group which increased 3x following a BFR session. GH Levels reached 290x resting levels following BFR exercise.
Tendon Strength:
BFR Training induced significant increases (36.1%-40.7%) in tendon stiffness, as well as tendon CSA (Cross-Sectional Area) following 14 weeks of training.
Aerobic Capacity:
Significant and meaningful gains in VO2 max of 2% to 4% occurred following only 3 weeks of resistance walking with BFR.
Sounds pretty good, doesn't it?
Strength training isn't just a young person's workout - it's your ticket to a long, healthy and invigorated life.
Lighter loads, shorter training times, better results safely, for a healthier, happier you!
