BFR Bands has decoded the science of strength training, so you don’t have to! Successfully used in countless scientific studies * , our bands have been shown to support aerobic capacity. Blood flow restriction training with resistance helps improve muscular size, power and strength at low training volumes and intensities. Use BFR bands to maximize your fitness, support gains, and restrict blood flow without the use of heavy weights or harmful man-made products! * Ursprung, William and Smith, John D. (2017) "The Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Training on VO2Max and 1.5 Mile Run Performance," International Journal of Exercise Science: Conference Proceedings: Vol. 2: Iss. 9, Article 108. At 2.5mm thick and 2in wide, these bands are designed to withstand vascular occlusion on both arms or legs. With numbers to track pressure for accuracy and symmetry, BFR bands are backed by science and trusted data. The customizable elastic loop and easy locking buckle are perfect for adjusting the tightness to your fitness level. Pro Tip: Aim for a tightness level of 6/7 on a scale of 1-10 Wrap the BFR band above the muscle (leg or arm). Use the buckle to lock the band in place. Layer it until it's at the desired tightness. Refer to the numbers for accuracy. Workout with light to medium weights, build your muscle and carve a shapely summer! Review: Supplier provided cheap quality not as advertised - Bad experience. After choosing this supplier, thinking I will receive a high quality bands as advertised, I received a simple bands that I could purchase 5 times cheaper. Green color instead of blue color, No logo, no engraving in the closing system etc. I returned the item. This is not a serious supplier Review: Quality - Product is good quality wise. Supports during workout ## Features - EXTRA WIDE BANDS: These Occlusion Bands are extra thick and 2 inches wide to help you reach optimal occlusion during your occlusion training workouts. - INCREASED FACTORS FOR MUSCLE GROWTH: Studies show that practical blood flow restriction training can increase muscle protein synthesis, NOS-1 expression and mTOR signaling, resulting in increased muscle growth. - QUICKER LEAN MUSCLES AND SUPERB TONE WITHOUT LIFTING HEAVY WEIGHTS: The occlusion straps induce hypertrophy at very low loads (usually 10-30% of a 1RM). When performed correctly, the results achieved are typically similar to those achieved with 80% 1RMs. - EXTRA-STRONG AND SUPER-COMFORTABLE: Our patented bands are easy to strap up, effortless to release in between sets or exercises, and exceptionally comfortable. Each order comes with 2 bands to allow you to exercise both legs or both arms at the same time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01C2BAE82 | | Additional Features | Adjustable Assistance Levels | | Best Sellers Rank | #34,527 in Sporting Goods ( See Top 100 in Sporting Goods ) #651 in Resistance Bands | | Brand | BFR BANDS | | Brand Name | BFR BANDS | | Color | Blue / Black | | Colour | Blue / Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 4,897 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00753807214896 | | Included Components | 2 PRO SLIM bands, 2 PRO BFR bands | | Included components | 2 PRO SLIM bands, 2 PRO BFR bands | | Item Dimensions L x W | 101.6L x 5.1W centimeters | | Item Thickness | 2 Inches | | Item Type Name | Training Bands | | Item Weight | 6.7 Ounces | | Item weight | 6.7 Ounces | | Manufacturer | Exerscribe | | Manufacturer Part Number | 753807214896 | | Material | Plastic | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Name | Pro Edition | | Model Number | 753807214896 | | Number of Resistance Levels | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Workout | | Sport | Exercise and Fitness | | Sport Type | Exercise and Fitness | | Style Name | Restriction Bands | | Tension Supported | Heavy | | UPC | 744288830903 753807214896 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BFR BANDS - **Colour:** Blue / Black - **Included components:** 2 PRO SLIM bands, 2 PRO BFR bands - **Material:** Plastic - **Sport:** Exercise and Fitness ## Images ![BFR BANDS Blood Flow Restriction Bands for Arms Legs Glutes Occlusion Training, Gain Muscle Without Heavy Weight Lifting, Quick-Release Elastic Strap - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HR6wjP9BL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the advantage of these over regular household tourniquets, which I can but for $8 instead of $38? This just seems like a waste of money** A: The goal is to restrict blood flow, not completely occlude it. Venous blood flow can be occluded up to 100% with these, but arterial blood flow only up to 80%. However, a tourniquet will completely restrict blood flow to the distal extremities (100% venous and arterial), while these bands will only slow the blood flow as previously stated. Main benefit: increase in proximal/central release of HGH and IGF-1, and distal increase in vasodilatory reactions to increase blood flow. Cheers. **Q: Will the thigh band fit 30" thighs?** A: I have the PRO BFR Bands which I mainly use for my arms, but also use on my thighs. However my thighs are approx 24", so I think the normal PRO Bands will be a bit short for you. There are a couple of other options in the BFR range that you could use: There is the PRO BFR bands LONG Edition (these are most popular for legs); the Double Wrap Bands, which are 42" long; or the Quad Wrap Bands which are 80" long. Hope this helps. **Q: I know having the bands too tight can be dangerous. How do you monitor blood flow?** A: You will want to monitor perceived tightness (if using a scale of 1-10, with 10 being tightest, the bands should feel about 5 in the beginning of the workout and reach and maintain a 7 shortly after the warm up). You will also want to monitor any numbness or pain, and loosen the bands as needed. My final recommendation is to never lift heavy weight while occlusion training and to always try to stay under 20% of your 1 rep max. **Q: Has anyone used these on their legs? Or should Istick with knee straps** A: I use them on my legs successfully. Though it can be difficult to achieve the same level of tightness on each leg. The guy I frequently work out with uses knee straps and he says he simply prefers the straps. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐ Supplier provided cheap quality not as advertised *by A***. on 27 November 2019* Bad experience.
