Blood Flow Restriction and Exercise Selection: What Exercises are "Best"?

The Blood Flow Restriction Podcast is brought to you by SAGA - a world leader in innovative BFR technology. Download The Comprehensive Guide to BFR Training for free here: BFR EbookThis episode discusses blood flow restriction and exercise selection - how do you know which exercises to perform under BFR? Rather than simply provide a list of exercises, the goal of this episode is to provide a framework for how you can self-determine which movements may be most effective under BFR. Most importantly, the first section of this discussion is centered around proper exercise selection in general (regardless of whether or not BFR is involved). Much of the value in this section is in large part thanks to Dr. Mike Israetel and the folks at Renaissance Periodization who've done a fantastic job building out the stimulus to fatigue ratio indices.
