Increased Muscle Size
BFR stimulates the release of IGF-1, which is important for muscular hypertrophy, muscle and bone growth, and regulation of DNA synthesis
benefit-image-1
Increased Muscle Strength
BFR promotes an increase in muscle protein synthesis - the driving force for building muscle. By activating cellular pathway within muscle cells BFR stimulates the cell to produce more protein. More protein equates to more strength and muscle.
benefit-image-2
Increased Cardiovascular Capacity.
BFR has been shown to reduce stroke volume and increase heart rate during training. A significant increase in blood pressure coincides with these previously mentioned factors to help positively affect the cardiovascular system and consequently increase cardiovascular endurance.

Look Better Naked
Looking strong is as important as being strong. BFR can be a solid piece in the puzzle if injury or father time has taken his toll on your training.

Directions

I want 60 seconds of dead bugs, one arm KB bottom up presses and teapots for 3 rounds. The dead bugs are for getting that trunk to fire. I find working the trunk early in the workout pays dividends later on. Then we have some heavy L sit presses with rear delt work. Then a BFR heavy weight fist fight to blow your mind...and arms...and chest. And check out the PAHQ guide on BFR http://pahq.co/bfrtg LIKE I SAID ON MANDO A, IF YOU NEED ANY COACHING OR FEEDBACK ON YOUR TRAINING RECORD IT AND POST IT TO THE TH FEED, YOUTUBE AND POST A LINK OR @JOHNWELBOURN.

FAQs
Where can I learn more about BFR?
http://pahq.co/bfrtg
What should I use to occlude the limbs?
For years, most have used knee wraps or some flexible straps. Recently, many high quality systems have entered the market. They are worth investigating to take some of the guess work out of it.
Will I get jacked?
Yes, BFR has been proven to increase muscle. Especially, with those that can not handle high volume or big loads due to injury, over use or mainly because you are old and have been yourself up too much.
