•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.

•People don’t realize that restricting blood flow is beneficial if done correctly.

•My personal experience with using BStrong and X3

•Origins of BFR from a Japanese body builder and his recovery from a broken leg.

•Surprising benefits of BFR include increased libido. 

•Experimentation with inflatable tubes

•Restricting blood flow…isn’t that dangerous?

•Using glycogen to activate ATP through BFR

•Why 3 sets of 30 reps are the key.
