This was such a GREAT webinar! Lots of useful info and answered a number of questions in my head (while I still have a few remaining 😉). Thank you for sharing this on TH-cam. Now I'm fully sold on BFR and the need to include this in my practice - not to mention use it on myself! - and to learn more about it. Not sure if this question will reach anyone now but would there be any concerns using BFR in cases of venous insufficiency, especially say the lower limbs? Or perhaps an even better question: Could BFR potentially actually help TREAT venous insufficiency and/or the features of it (reduced circulation, skin pigmentation changes, etc.)?? Thanks again for this video.
How’s it going ? Are u doing it ? Been using BFR workouts for 3 months on my legs ..I have unstable knees as in torn anteriors due to failed surgeries but I have successfully stayed active by strengthening all my muscles and tendons that I rely on instead. BFR has helped me get it done faster, effortless with more results on them. I injured my shoulder a fairly minor pull by getting up out of bed wrong but it irritated me, hence I concentrated to see if I can release it by using the muscles below the shoulder: by bicep curls using kaatsu here as well and I am amazed that I recovered immediately. so now I train both legs and arms with very low weight 5 pounds or less with 1st rep of 30 then 4 subsequent reps of 15 with 30 second intervals. Thank you for introducing us Dr Mercola on your podcast to the professional doctor who taught us how to take our work outs to this great new level .Hallelujah
The cuff remains at the inflated recommended pressure for up to 25 to 30 minutes and then should be released for at least five minutes before continuing. That is if you are using the BStrong system.
Question- Kaatsu manual says not to exercise to fatigue with their BFR. It sounded like the guy with the turn ocerlon was directed to do so. Can you comment on if or when one should or should not exercise to fatigue with BLR, and why?
There are plenty of studies that direct to fatigue or almost failure for optimal muscle mass involvement. Therefore a larger neural-hormonal response will occur (GH & IGF-I) which aids in healing the area quicker. If someone is in relatively good health and exercise form is not compromised, there is no reason they cant exercise to fatigue
@@OrthoEvalPal thank you! I was concerned about the conflicting recommendations. Perhaps it is due to trashing extra precaution by the seller so they won't be sued if someone has an issue?
@@OrthoEvalPal one more question: how do you feel about the difference between Kaatsu and Smart Cuff? Or do you recommend another? there is a huge cost difference between Smart Cuff and Kaatsu, who promotes their "30 second-on and 5 second-off cycling" that you can program throughout your exercise routine.
Great explanation.
I’m a healthy 68 y/o whose blood pressure runs low. Is RBF ok to use? I’m very active and have been my whole life.

Suggest some book if any
Paul sounds identical to Paul Rudd and it cracked me up
Hi there. Does anyone know when during the rest period do you deflate the cuff, or does the cuff remain occluded during rest periods?
The cuff remains at the inflated recommended pressure for up to 25 to 30 minutes and then should be released for at least five minutes before continuing. That is if you are using the BStrong system.

I have not had any issues with it.

@@privateuploads-geo2625 yes. We want to get them close to that fatigue point
