BFR Builds Bigger and Stronger Muscle
B3 Bands create 4 Profound Effects in the Body that are not attainable with traditional Training Methods:
- A Big Nitric Oxide Release
- Complete Slow & Fast Twitch Fiber Recruitment
- A Deeper Fast Twitch Muscle Fatigue
- Big post BFR Growth Hormone Surge
When you combine these 4 effects in the body of an Athlete, you will see significant Muscle Hypertrophy & Strength Changes

BFR Studies
Multitude of Benefits from BFR
Peer Review : Extensive Review of BFR Literature
Reference: EXERCISE AND BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION ZACHARY K. POPE
CONCLUSIONS:
- Increased Muscle Strength
- Hypertrophy (Increased cross sectional area)
- Localized Endurance
- Cardio-respiratory endurance
- Growth Hormone Release
- Less Muscle Damage
- Safe
Peer Review : Extensive Review of BFR Literature
Reference: Training with blood flow restriction. Mechanisms, gain in strength and safety
CONCLUSIONS: 28 of 30 studies demonstrated
- Improved Strength
- Hypertrophy in men and women
- Positive impacts on bone health
- Non-exercised limbs have shown gains in strength without exercise
- Controversial but promising reports on aerobic capacity
- Safe: Investigations after BFR have shown no evidence for increased risk of thrombosis.
Less Muscle Damage Compared to Heavy Lifting
Peer Review: Does BFR lead to or even increase the incidence of muscle damage
CONCLUSIONS: The available evidence does not support the hypothesis that BFR in combination with low‐intensity exercise increases the incidence of muscle damage. Instead, the available literature suggests that minimal to no muscle damage is occurring with this type of exercise
Increased Strength & Muscle Development
Peer Review on 4 Studies by Duquesne University : Peer Review
Study : 32 Collegiate Football Players
CONCLUSIONS: Strength changes can be achieved with training using less weight and BFR bands. With the additional benefit of reduced loads and recovery time, this is a very promising approach to training elite level athletes and military personnel.
Study: 20 Rugby Players
CONCLUSIONS: Occlusion training can potentially improve the rate of strength training gains and fatigue resistance in trained athletes, possibly allowing greater gains from lower loading which could be of benefit during high training loads, in competitive seasons, or in a rehabilitative setting. The clear improvement in bench press strength resulting from lower-body occlusion suggests a systemic effect of blood flow restricted training.
Study: 17 Rugby Players
CONCLUSIONS: The results indicated that low-intensity resistance exercise causes, in almost fully trained athletes, increases in muscle size, strength and endurance, when combined with vascular occlusion.
Study: 62 Football Players
Reference: THE EFFECTS OF A 7-WEEK PRACTICAL BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION PROGRAM ON WELL-TRAINED COLLEGIATE ATHLETES
CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that a practical BFR program used in addition to a traditional strength training program can be effective at increasing 1RM squat performance
Growth Hormone Release
Study : 11 Males - Large Increase in HGH
CONCLUSIONS: Growth Hormone Increased increased GH (0.11+/-0.03 to 8.6+/-1.1 ng/ml). These results suggest that short term low intensity resistance exercise with BFR significantly stimulates the exercise-induced GH.
Study : Middle Aged Women
CONCLUSIONS: A significant elevated GH level was observed in the BFR groups when compared with the control group.
Study : 13 Health College Aged Females
CONCLUSIONS: GH increased immediately post exercise for both protocols (High Intensity and BFR) as compared to baseline. In conclusion, acute BFR restricted resistance exercise stimulated similar increases in Anabolic hormone responses in young women as High Intensity Exercise
Study : 7 Healthy Older Men (70 yo)
CONCLUSIONS: GH increased from rest to 30-min post-exercise and was greater during BFR than without. In conclusion, a single bout of BFR increases the circulating concentrations of GH in older men and may explain the skeletal muscle and peripheral vascular adaptations observed following training with BFR.
Study : 10 Young and 10 Older men
Reference: Growth hormone responses to acute resistance exercise with vascular restriction in young and old men
CONCLUSIONS: Both age groups responded similarly to each exercise condition with increased GH in response to BFR. However, young men had a greater maximal GH response.
Nitric Oxide Release
Study : 6 Males Leg Extension Training
Reference: Blood Flow Restriction Enhances Post–Resistance Exercise Angiogenic Gene Expression
CONCLUSIONS: Chronic training actually reduces NOS because excessive levels are associated with chronic inflammatory processes. Meanwhile, low skeletal muscle content of NOS are associated with metabolic and vascular dysfunction. This study indicates that the addition of BFR to acute low-intensity exercise increases post exercise muscle expression of NOS,
