ASCA S&C Conference - Common (BFR) Questions and Reflections

In this BFR Radio episode, I reflect on the recent Australian Strength and Conditioning Conference (ASCA) where TheBFR.co had an exhibition stand. I had lots of great discussions on BFR training and I can definitely tell the awareness is definitely increasing.

This episode is my reflections on the conference (BFR related of course) and I go through the common questions I got asked. In particular I talk about how to calculate the  pressure for BFR training, how BFR works with respect to mechanical stress and metabolic stress, and the benefits of using BFR in practical training scenarios - including improve bone reformation and decreasing joint and tendon pain.

I also talk abut the shift in thinking about BFR, progressing from a rehab focus to considering its potential benefits for athletic performance improvement. 

For this episode I am actually recording in my car on the drive to work. I have a few of these episodes lined up as I answer questions I get from time to time. Let me know if you like this format. And if you do have a question, let me know and I'll answer it for you.

 

Enjoy this episode.
