Blood flow restriction training involves restricting blood flow in the limbs to 40-80% of arterial occlusion pressure.

“the idea of blood flow restriction is to reduce blood flow going into the limb but not completely occlude blood flow so in other words we always want blood flow to be going in”

“it helps to understand that this is a very acute response in other words we're restricting blood flow for minutes not for hours”

“it's 30 reps rest 30 seconds 15 reps rest 30 seconds 15 reps rest 30 seconds 15 reps that is the standard prescribed procedure for bfr”

“instead when you use these bands that come with an inflation when you use these cuffs that come with an inflation device they're actually measuring the occlusive pressure so the first time you do it it takes a little longer and then it says okay now i know what it is for your arms and your legs do you want to go at the highest level of intensity medium level intensity or a lower level of intensity which basically just adjusts the pressure”

“the purpose of blood flow restriction is to operate at about 30 percent of the occlusive pressure the arterial occlusive pressure”
