Blood Flow Restriction Bands for Arms Legs Glutes Occlusion Training, Gain Muscle Without Heavy Weight Lifting, Quick-Release Elastic Strap

Out of the box I was confused on how to set them up but they come with instructions thankfully. They can fit a variety of people and provide great resistance no matter how big or small your bicep is. I feel and see a difference after about 2 weeks of consistent workout. Its a nice color and is very portable to take on trips to the gym. They don't slip at all which is a surprise for me with the other bands I have used. These work great and they come with many benefits so yes I recommend for price and quality!

I use these on my arms when I was lifting they did a great job at restricting the blood flow. Great for building upper body strength. Easy to figure out how to work them correctly. They can stretch quite a bit and will fit most people's arms. I didn't have any issues with them slipping they stayed put pretty well and tight. Worth the price

They really should come with instructions. The link to instructions goes to the Amazon sell page. Took a while to figure out how to pass the strap through the buckle in a way that allows placing enough tension for BFR. Once I figured out the right way, they do seem to give decent flow restriction and did not pinch. Will see how they hold up.

I don't know what the long-term effects of occlusion training will be, so this is a quick review of the product...I'm obviously new to this type of training so I didn't feel I needed to go super-pro or spend a lot of $$$ at this early stage. I'm not a huge guy by any means, but not small either. I'm 16" at the bicep and had no trouble with arm bands at all - they stayed in place and there was plenty of strap to spare when tightened. The width is good and don't know what the benefit would be for a wider strap at the arm (the strap is going to do the job regardless of the width - perhaps a wider band is more comfortable, more effective - I don't know). In any event, I modified my workout as recommended using lighter weights, more sets, higher reps, etc. And, yes I was pumped noticeably more than without straps (I should have measured - maybe next time). I also should have paid more attention to the tightness in my arms and legs as I was working out, because there was a definite increase that I'm sure should have been adjusted (loosened the straps a bit).Anyway, I'm totally satisfied that the product is a good one. The elastic seems to be aggressive but not overly so, and the fastener is easy to operate, stays in place, and doesn't feel uncomfortable when it's tight against the skin. I like the fact that I got 4 straps instead of 2... I wore all four during the entire workout, which seems to be what you're supposed to do.The PDF instruction book looks to be pretty good. Using the 1-10 scale for how tight you should make things in theory sounds great but I think in practice is still subjective. In other words my inexperienced 5 may actually be an actual 8 or a 9 and thus may be too tight. The only way to alleviate this uncertainty is to have someone experienced help you out, or just keep at it using trial & error. One thing's for sure, I did feel some tingling (but no numbness) near the end of the workout which leads me to believe I may have started off a little too tight and/or should have made an adjustment. I'm probably doing what most people will do - thinking that more is more when it's actually not, and making the straps too tight. Next workout I'll adjust and see what happens.I'm not sure why this product only has one review (now two) - maybe it's new... maybe people just go for the 'featured' item, who knows? I took a chance and am glad that I did. I was looking for a quality set of four straps for one reasonable price, and this item definitely fits the bill. D

The bands themselves are great. They're comfortable with just the right amount of elasticity.I've been using them now for a while and love the 2" leg bands. They're easy to fasten and the numbered increments are great for ensuring I'm applying the same pressure to both legs. I own a different set of bands with no markings and I'd be in my own head during my workouts wondering whether or not I was feeling the same pressure and getting the same occlusion on both legs. With these bands I can simply focus on my workout.I had a couple of problem with the 1" arm bands. The first problem is that I wasn't able to achieve much occlusion in my arms. I experimented with different pressures and I was able to finally get occlusion, but the pressure was so tight that it felt like the bands were cutting into my arms. My arms are relatively large and it seems that 2" bands work better for me. The other problem is that they are a bit difficult to fasten because they really require two hands. So, unless you have help from someone else, expect to use some combination of your hands and teeth in order to tighten these around your arms. Because of these two issues, I realized that ordering the 1" bands was a mistake for me and I should have ordered the PRO-X bands. This leads me to my next point...I emailed Kusha to let him know that I loved the leg bands, but wasn't going to be able to use the arm bands. I asked if I could return the arm bands and pay the difference to upgrade to the PRO-X bands. Literally five minutes later I had a response from him asking for my address so that he could send me the PRO-X bands!...no need to return the arm bands, no need to pay to upgrade...If you're new to BFR, I can tell you that it works. I can also tell you that this is absolutely the company you want to purchase bands from. The bands themselves are great. If you have a problem with them, the customer service is exceptional.
