Going to incorporate this is my regiment. Curious if anyone else practices and how does it live up?
MESO-Rx
Anabolic Steroids
BFR training
- Thread starter Jruiz
- Start date
no one uses bloodflow restriction ???? So bfr is stated reduces myostatin concetrations and creates an anabolic effect thru activated fast twitch fibers which have the most potential for muscle growth. It'll be a suppplement that I'm going to try on todays workout.

Jruiz bfr has been around for a bit from the litle bit I have read and I know layne norton is into it, I first saw it on bios3 i think he goes by on youtube, That jerry guy. It looks interesting but I just haven't take quality time into looking into it.

I have read about this but don't know anyone who has actually tried it... There are downsides, and personally I would never bother.... But I'm curious to see how it goes and your take on it.... So let us know....

I have not spent any time into looking into it really just found it interesting and on the look into list. What down sides have you found?

From what I read, you use very light weights, you can't train as long or it's dangerous, and It's dangerous in general to restrict blood flow then train... It looks good on paper but a lot of the trials didn't turn out as good as everyone thought...

Some think it's the new best thing, i'm skeptical.... One study found regular training to be more effective because they were using much heavier weights... I don't know much about it, i'm no expert but I will try to find the study....
Looks like you should restrict 3 sets only of either arms, calves, thighs, and forearms. They say if it's not hurting like hell the wraps are not tight enough. 70% max pressure is what is recommended for pressure. I was looking at a study earlier that resulted in bfr training creating 290 times more of GH than at baseline heavy weight training. But it does state that in no way should bfr training replace heavyweight training only supplement your training . But will keep you guys posted.

I read that if it hurts that they are too tight.... You definitely don't want to completely cut off the flow, that can be dangerous... So be careful and make sure your not wrapping too tightly.. I agree that it can't replace heavy training, but it may be beneficial to supplement, like you said. For lagging body parts it can help I read.. I'm interested to see how it turns out...
Will let you guys know how I like it!
Last night I tried it on my ARM day. Got some really good pumps for some reason it had me pretty jacked up . Not sure if it was just the excitement or what but I managed some solid weight reps. Didn't use too heavy of weight but just enough to get a nice contraction. Can't tell yet what it'll offer towards the long run but as far as what I experienced last night I will def incorporate occlusion training into my regiment! You could actually feel the pressure from the blood lingering in the muscle and you know how important bloodflow is to the muscles. Perhaps ill throw it in once it twice a week. Thumbsup from me for sure:thumbup:
some guys where I train use a method almost the same but instead after they train they use the bands to constrict the blood flow then they release after some pumping and stretching as to clean out the waist,broke down fragments and a host of other things with the surge in flow after the release of the bands.
Almost same concept might try to compare.
One question, how painful was it.
I'll have to take a look into this.
It's an interesting Premise, I like it, thanks for the post...................JP

I was checking a couple of Video's out on Youtube.
I'm going to have to give this a try.
I like the good pain, the "Agony and the Ecstasy", thanks again.............JP
My pleasure brother, hope you like it as I do!
I tried it yesterday with Legs. I watched the Video. I used a Stretch band with Velcro. Big difference, got a great Pump, and still feel the pump, and it's been over 12 hrs.
I'm glad I ran across this thread, thanks again................................JP
Right on brother, the pump lasted for me as well! Matter fact I'm still sore on my arms:thumbup:
Speaking of the Devil, I just finished Arms. My arms are shaking while I'm trying to type. I like that, haven't had this kind of pump in years, It's Sweet.
Hard to type..............................................JP
