What is BFR Training?

Bfr training is a technique utilize to reach muscle hypertrophy (Muscle growth). By restricting blood flow and performing high repetition workouts the muscle goes under metabolic stress optimizing muscle growth. While performing workout routine, bands should be wrapped at the upper thighs.

For optimal results, it is suggested to use bands 2-3 times a week and should be alternated with conventional strength training.

What are the benefits of BFR Training?

Build Strength with Less Weight and Less Time

The main reason that people turn to BFR training is that it provides a great workout with smaller weights, fewer reps, and less time. Results of BFR done right should include increased strength, increased hypertrophy, and improved muscular endurance.

While you can get these same results with more traditional strength training and lifting, what makes BFR so appealing is that it allows you to get the results in less time. Because the bands enhance the oxygen deprivation in the muscles being worked, you can use smaller weights and fewer reps to get the same results.

Blood Flow Restriction Training May Help with Rehab from Injuries

BFR training is used in physical therapy because it allows patients to develop strength with less load. Using smaller weights puts less strain on limbs and joints, which benefits the injured patient. They can grow muscle mass and strength more safely.
