“Blood Flow Restriction Training Properly

🔑 It’s important to base the amount of pressure off your own personal arterial occlusion pressure. Being objective and accurate are the main assets that @smartoolsusa blood flow restriction training provides through use of an external doppler. This allows us to use lighter loads (20-30% 1RM) to stimulate physiological effects to create strength gains similar to higher intensity loads (60-80%). It is recommended to inflate the cuff at a % of the limb occlusion pressure (40-50% for the upper body, 60-80% for the lowe body). The goal is NOT to find ANY device wrapped around your limb, the 7-8/10 rate of perceived tightness has been shown to be UNRELIABLE.
.
📝 Limb or Arterial Occlusion Pressure (minimum pressure needed to occlude arterial pressure) should be retested even within the same individual since the pressure can vary from one time to another due to a variety of factors such as limb circumference, muscle density, and blood pressure. You Do not want to use just any Velcro straps or other such lifting straps, since it’s impossible to gauge the amount and consistency of arterial occlusion. We recommend using an FDA listed device such as @smarttoolsusa when administering blood flow restriction training!
