Blood Flow Restriction Training
Blood flow restriction training uses a cuff at the upper arm or thigh to partially limit venous return while lifting light loads—often twenty to forty percent of max—for hypertrophy and strength when heavy loading is contraindicated. Pressure and duration must follow evidence-based protocols; numbness or tingling means stop.
