Blood Flow Restriction Training: Building Strength with Lighter Weights

Blood Flow Restriction Training: Building Strength with Lighter Weights After three decades in the fitness world, I thought I’d seen it all. But when I stumbled upon Blood Flow Restriction Training, I was skeptical. Build muscle with weights that felt too light? Get strength gains without heavy loading? It sounded too good to be true. But here’s the thing - it actually works. And if you’ve never heard of BFR training, you’re not alone. Let me break down what this technique is, why it’s gaining serious traction in both rehab and performance circles, and whether it might be right for you.
