In this show, Mike and I take a deep dive into the world of blood flow restriction training. We cover what it is, what it does, who should be using it, and even dive into the practical side like protocols and the like.

Whether you’re doing BFR on a regular basis or just hoping to learn the ropes, I think this podcast has something for everyone in it.

 

This is like peanut butter and chocolate – they’re better together! You don’t have to pick one of them. We strengthen muscles and load movements. – Mike Reinold
