Mar 23, 2018 /prREACH/ -- BFR Bands, a company specializing in producing bands for Blood Flow Restriction Training, has recently expanded its selection of products in their online store as well as Amazon.

Blood flow restriction training, also known as occlusion training, is the latest technique employed by athletes looking to reduce their recovery time and optimize their training results. It is also being adopted by regular people who are looking to increase the results of their workout regime. The training involves doing light exercises while wearing pressurized belts that reduce the blood supply to muscle groups, first on the upper arms and then on the legs.

The theory behind using this technique lies in the fact that by using pressurized bands, the brain gets tricked into thinking that the body is doing more intense exercise, which in turn which encourages muscle growth and the burning of fat and helps the body repair injuries faster.

According to Kusha Karvandi, the founder of BFR Bands, "Occlusion training, which is also known as Kaatsu, is a safe and effective way of improving muscle growth and athletic performance. Also, there are studies which show that this form of training is better than traditional weightlifting as by using lighter weights, one is significantly reducing the amount of stress being put on their muscles, thus ensuring faster recovery times."

Ideal for people looking to put on lean muscles without putting in too much effort into weight training, this form of training not only trains the arms and muscles but also helps train other muscle groups, if they are exercised after the blood flow restriction technique.

BFR Bands has released its own line of occlusion training bands, which includes a patent pending, easy to use buckle that works great for one hand operations. With a wide assortment of bands currently available - the BFR Bands product line can be found on their official website as well as at their Amazon storefront.
