- Blood flow restriction training is one of the newest training tools to hit both the rehab and performance worlds and with good reason, there is a lot of research coming out supporting the use of this modality for strength and hypertrophy gains.
This video reviews the various Blood Flow Restriction Bands on the market to help you make informed decisions on which devices you’ll use with BFR.

The majority of research focuses on looking at strength and hypertrophy gains during BFR training. Research on traditional loading requirements for hypertrophy during weightlifting suggests loads as heavier than 65% of an individual’s one rep max (1rm) must be used to create hypertrophy gains. So a 200lb bench presser must bench at loads greater than 130lbs to create a hypertrophy response.
Research on blood flow restriction training shows that loads as low as 20-30% of one-rep max can create the same hypertrophy stimulus!
What Qualities Affect BFR Bands?
• Cuff material (elastic vs rigid)
• Cuff size (length and width)
• Pressure application
• Pressure measurement

Have you ever eard of the MadUp Pro device ?
All is automatic, the pressure adjust throughout the exercise, you have different protocols (strength, VO2 max, analgesia, ...).
Also, I was wondering if you had an opinion on the KAATSu cuffs compared to the SMART Cuffs
Mate, video was great. between the SAGA and smartcuffs, which would you recommended?
Smartcuffs for sure.
Thanks for this video! Starting a mobile PT biz next month and looking for a good set of BFR cuffs. Between the Saga and SmartCuffs, it sounds like your fav is SmartCuffs - curious what you like about them a but more than the Saga bands? Thanks in advance!
Better bladder for inflation and trapping metabolites in the cuff
@@thebarbellphysio great, thank you!
Great video man! Which is easier and faster to use the SmartCuffs or the Saga bands?
Thank you
Smart Cuffs for sure
Thanks for the video.
I need to choose between SAGA, and another one in Australia called bfrcuff.
Bfrcuff is manually inflated, and you use an equation with cuff width, limb circumference to get the required cuff pressure.
Ive been told these and this method is more accurate and robust than SAGA.
Theyre of similar cost, saga is $100 more.
Which would you choose? Are the SAGA cuff accurate enough?
Thanks
From my understanding, limb circumference does not allow for accurate measurement of the correct pressure
Could not actually see much of any of the products, maybe set up camera closer?
Do you know the major difference in the smart cuff 3.0 vs 4.0? Seems to be quite a price difference.
i haven't tested yet
Nick Rolnick just posted a video on IG you might find helpful
@@thebarbellphysio do you know his IG account name? I looked up Nick Rolnick and I'm not finding it
Considering the wide range of pressures that’s equally effective you can’t disregard elastic BFR bands and make these claims
With elastic bands can you replicate that same pressure between sessions?
@@thebarbellphysio Close enough for horseshoes and hand grenades yes
YOU ARENT STRONG JAJAJAJAJAJAA BODY GIRL
HOW ABOUT THE BEST FOR A REASONABLE PRICE BANDS?
THESE ARE WAY OVERPRICED!
I’ve not found a cheap one that works well. Lots of people use compression bands (aka voodoo bands) but they suck for consistently reproducing pressure and trapping metabolites. Other cheaper ones aren’t wide enough
