•No need to wait 6 weeks for results, you'll get them in 3. Instead of an hour a day to get results you'll get them in 30 min.

•BFR and the systemic release of hormones because your brain thinks your arms and legs are tired

•Benefits of BStrong for older populations

•The most common concern is about safety, thinking about cutting off blood supply, like a blood pressure cuff. But it's accommodating and stretchy. Dailing the amount of elasticity.
