The goal of every B Strong blood flow restriction training session is to achieve strong "fatigue" or "failure.” We define this as not being able to complete another quality repetition. If your cadence is slowing down, or your form is falling apart, you are reaching fatigue.
Producing strong muscle fatigue during the blood flow restriction training session is the trigger for the anabolic response we are looking for. Jim Stray-Gundersen, MD, BFR expert and co-founder of B Strong, recommends the B Strong app to help you get your starting pressures and adjust them over several sessions to the point where you are reaching this strong level of fatigue. We have some exercise samples provided and videos that discuss this more via our app.
