227: Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training for Healing and Faster Recovery
Have you ever been hurt and wanted to keep training AND also heal and recover faster? I recorded this episode after a client of mine had a hip replacement and couldn't do any lower body or core training. I helped him work around that by focusing on his arms 4x per week and creating a huge cascade of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) and IGF-1 to help promote healing and recovery. Now this idea has been around since the 70s, and is making a pretty big splash in the bodybuilding world as a way of growing muscle faster, especially if you don't want to lift a ton of weight - BUT not many people are using it how I describe here If you've ever been sidelined with an injury, been down with an illness, you KNOW has debilitating that can be for your progress or at least your consistency - it's always harder to get BACK ON after we fall off. But what if I told you that you could keep your progress, get short 5-10 minute workouts, and actually heal faster...all at the same time? You're gonna want to check this out. Here are the bands I talk about in the episode, but you can eaily get lower quality ones on amazon: https://nate.b3sciences.com/
