About this item
- STRONG, NON-STRETCH BANDS: These 2-inch wide Rigid Edition blood flow restriction bands are made of durable inelastic fabric designed to offer superb restriction of blood flow through the working limb to the targeted muscles.
- ENCOURAGE MUSCLE GROWTH: Our BFR bands for men and women can induce hypertrophy at very low loads (10-30% of a 1RM) and can increase muscle protein synthesis, NOS-1 expression, and mTOR signaling, resulting in increased muscle growth.
- FASTER LEAN MUSCLES: Occlusion bands are designed to reduce oxygen supply to the muscles in order to pre-fatigue slow twitch muscle fibers and diminish their response to workout loads, but to also enable fast twitch muscle fibers to respond quickly to exercise training loads for faster lean muscles.
- THOUGHTFUL DESIGN: Easy to strap on and effortless to release, these Rigid BFR bands are made with extra strong hook and loop fastening combined with a tightly-woven metal slider. Designed with an interior comfort liner and soft edges to prevent chafing and discomfort.
- COMPLETE BFR PACKAGE: Every order contains a set of 2 blood restriction workout bands and includes a bonus e-book with a full BFR workout program with sets, reps, and rest periods outlined.

Increased Type II Fiber ActivationThe Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) bands reduce oxygen supply to the muscles in order to pre-fatigue slow twitch muscle fibers and diminish their response to workout loads, but to enable fast twitch muscle fibers to respond quickly to exercise training loads, resulting in faster lean muscle growth. |
Increased Growth FactorsBy only slowing venous blood flow out of the limbs, BFR disrupts the body's homeostasis – effectively increasing muscle protein synthesis, NOS-1 expression and mTOR signaling, resulting in increased muscle growth. The bands also boost muscle growth and enhance potential for muscle gain by reducing Myostatin concentrations. |
Better ‘Mapping’Your brain's primary job is safety and prediction before performance. The BFR Bands may enhance this by activating mechanoreceptors (stretch), baroreceptors (pressure), and chemoreceptors (from blood chemistry changes) in the limbs that enhance your brain's 'map' of where your body is relative to space. With this increased awareness, your brain's threat level goes down which means strength and performance goes up. |

I feel like I'm lifting heavy weights even though I'm just doing bodyweight exercises -- and I can adjust the tightness to make things more easy or more difficult as needed.
They are easy to put on and fit on me well, even though I'm on the smaller side. They will probably fit you if you are smaller, larger, or in between.
They should be machine washable (they are extremely durable, however I haven't washed mine yet).
The only thing to consider is they may pinch your skin, so I put them on over my shirt and pants and they are fine.
I've also used them on farmer walks, the stair master, lunges, split squats, the recombant bike, you get the idea. I say all of that because one of the touted benefits of the elastic bands is that they stay in place better. I've experienced zero issues with these riged bands staying in place. Also, since the bands are ridged, the clear numbering actually means something. Which matter, but only until you learn to judge by feel. Even then, as previously mentioned, they're extremely easy and quick to adjust.
And since the guidance is that you shouldn't wear them for more than 10 minutes, they're extremely easy to take off, and then put back on with minimal interruption when doing things like the stair master or bike. There are no "edges" to the strap. I definitely recommend these and whenever I need to buy another pair, I'll be buying another pair of these.
