•Origins of BFR from a Japanese body builder and his recovery from a broken leg.

•Surprising benefits of BFR include increased libido. 

•Experimentation with inflatable tubes

•Restricting blood flow…isn’t that dangerous?

•Using glycogen to activate ATP through BFR

•Why 3 sets of 30 reps are the key.

•Light weights, high rep, allows for oxygenation to the muscles.

•It’s all about systemic response
