What do you think of BFF training for a deload week?

[@allisonc9645]

My PT has me doing this!

[@johnames6430]

I'm very skeptical of this and I don't know if there's a good way for the avg man to do this unless it's controlled and monitored by a machine. My guess would be guys having heart attacks if millions of people start doing this in the gym. Anyone got thoughts on that last part?

[@johnames6430]

Ask yourself this, would ronnie coleman have been any bigger if he discovered Blood Flow restrction back in his day? Or would this help him just work with slightly lighter weights?

[@QuintinHowell]

Is it different to compression gear?

[@Viertelfranzose]

Yes and No... It can work so good as you can adjust the pressure just with a Strap but the comfort to add or reduce the pressure just with the air system around the cuff in a precise way can be better to get sure the best results. On UA-cam are some Videos with compare other cheaper systems from other companies

[@johnames6430]

I'm skeptical that this is useful for anyone other than those on steroids. Once you have reached your potential you aren't going to gain much size or strength. Strength is also a function of muccle attachment points and length of femur, humerous etc (leverage). Your body restricts how much mass you can have, if it was simply about increasing load every guys would add 1lb a week to his bench and become like Ronnie Coleman or Arnold in a few months.

question number one answer is NO - There is no indication that is superior to normal training...If you are stuck on a table and cannot perform regular exercise (see where it was developed - for amputees) ok, I see it for post op - but even the "expert" we watched on your cast did not provide anything but the possibility of promise...not enough to implement across the board...

It helps gym equipment companies sell more BS you don't need
