BFR cuffs enhance the stimulus of your hypertrophy training, so you can build muscle with less weight and with shorter sessions.
BFR training replicates many of the benefits from high intensity endurance training in shorter time periods and at a reduced pace.
Drop the fatigue but keep building muscle by adding BFR training into your routine.
Blood flow restriction training is used by the
world’s best athletes to build muscle, improve
endurance, and recover faster.
2023 World’s Strongest man and exercise physiologist Mitch Hooper discusses how he utilizes The BFR Cuffs by SAGA to improve his performanceas a strength athlete.
5 x Ironman Eric Hinman discusses how he utilizes The BFR Cuffs by SAGA to improve his performance as he preps for the CrossFit Games.
The BFR Cuffs work by inflating to restrict a certain percentage of blood flow into your limb (and all blood flow leaving your limb) during your training.
Blood carries oxygen. Less blood flow to the working muscle = less oxygen to the working muscle. This is where the ”magic” happens.
Sounds counterintuitive, right? Don’t we want to increase blood flow into the muscle?
It turns out, when oxygen supply to the muscle is limited, this kicks off a cascade of responses in the body that replicate many of the benefits of high intensity training.
This is one reason why blood flow restriction training has time and time again proven through research to be extremely effective at building strength, muscle, and endurance at lower intensity and in shorter sessions.
