Episode 5 is all about personalized blood flow restriction rehabilitation training (PBFR). PBFR is the next big thing in performance and rehab. It's a game-changing injury recovery therapy that is producing dramatically positive results. PBFR can diminish atrophy and the loss of strength from disuse and non-weight bearing after injuries, can increase strength and hypertrophy with only 30% loads, improve muscle activation, strength and hypertrophy after surgery, increase growth hormone responses and improve muscle protein synthesis. Tune in to hear Brandon and Josh's thoughts on the Owen's Recovery Science certification course and how they are going to be implementing this new technique.
