RecoverFun Blood Flow Restriction Training Air Cuffs Review

- Blood Flow Restriction Training, a.k.a. Occlusion Training is an extremely effective way to build muscle without heavy weight.
BFR Training is designed to slow down both blood flow into working muscles and, more importantly, restrict the metabolic waste products from being removed from the working muscles.
These metabolites are potent chemical signals for localized hypertrophy of the occluded muscle.
What this means in English is that you when you prevent the waste products from getting, it helps you build muscle.
There are a variety of types of BFR bands on the marketing, including elastic versions and strap versions. THIS version utilizes an air-filled cuff (exactly like a blood pressure cuff) that you pump up before your set to achieve the occlusion effect.
What do the cuffs look like?
The kit comes with several items...the two straps, a sphygmomanometer and a carrying case. The straps can be used for both arms and legs as they expand to whatever size you need.
When performing Occlusion Training, you want to keep the weights very light. I'm demonstrating curls with a pair of 20 lb dumbbells here. Go for higher reps and a continuous tension "pumping" type of action. The goal is to get those waste products generated and keep them in the muscle.
You can also use these on your legs. And for your calves. I find that these inflatable cuffs wrap around the shin bones more thoroughly and give you better occlusion action than bands because of that.
Conclusion:
Overall, I found these air cuffs to be very effective for Occlusion Training. Once you get a feel for how to set them up, they're very easy to use. They're made from high-quality materials as well.
I actually found these to be more effective than elastic-style BFR straps (they don't dig into the skin as much and they're more "objective" in terms of how much you inflate them, e.g. for arms, I do 110-120 and for legs, 160-180).

Thank you so much for making this video! I had bought a cheap pair just to introduce myself into this style of training. I'm 66. I used them for about a month. My arms do look bigger. I'm glad I found this because I had thought about getting a better pair. These are it! Just ordered them. Can't wait to try them! Thanks!
Awesome! You'll like these a lot. They're definitely really good quality.
@@MadScientistOfMuscle I'm not sure how many sets and reps and lbs. I should be using to gain size. Rest in between sets, or not? And if so,how much time? I wonder also if I'm going to be doing tricep/ bicep super sets ,does the technique matter? Another words, ez curl bar for both exercises, or dumbells for both, or, cable bicep curls plus tricep cable pushdowns. Does it matter? Bet I'm not the only one wondering this🤔🤔
@@lots3799 I would aim for 2-3 sets, 15+ reps per set. You want to keep the weigh light - about 30-40% of 1 RM and use a continuous tension type of pumping movement. Rest about 1 minute and loosen the cuffs during that rest. You can do supersets for sure. Doesn't really matter if you use the same equipment or not - the key is the constriction and the pumping action.
@@MadScientistOfMuscle Got it! Thanks for the info. Your help is appreciated. 👍
@@lots3799 you bet!
Thank you for the video! How often would you recommend doing occlusion training into a regular 5 day/week training schedule?
Do you believe it's beneficial to employ 1-2 sets of occlusion training into a regular 5-6 exercise arm day, or simply dedicate an entire session to occlusion?
I actually like using occlusion training more as a finisher unless you have a physical need to train lighter (i.e. due to overtraining or something). So my preference is definitely leaning towards the 1-2 sets after your regular arm training.
@@MadScientistOfMuscle That makes sense. I'll be working it into arm whey they arrive. Thank you for the advice!
Can you do one if we use bandages and what sets and reps and weightb we use for aize
Elastic bandages could work fairly well for this type of training. For weight, you want to stay light - like 30-40% of your normal working weight. Go for higher reps of 15+ and 1-2 sets for a muscle group. You don't need high volume for these at all.
@@MadScientistOfMuscle i see how do i use it for forearms size
@@ajithsidhu7183 you could wrap just below the elbow joint and do wrist curls.
@@MadScientistOfMuscle thanks
