The BFR Biohack is all about SAFETY FIRST!
Are B3 BFR Bands Safe?
Yes. Research has shown that when correctly using premium quality bands like ours, BFR training does NOT have a tourniquet effect. This is because B3 Bands distribute pressure evenly, ensuring blood flow is ONLY slowed, and NOT cut off. This minimizes risks and makes BFR just as safe as any normal, vigorous exercise.
Check out this 15 minute discussion on safety between, patent holder, Dr. Jim Stray Gunderson & B3 President & Founder, Dr. Mike De Bord.
It’s always recommended that you consult with your physician before starting any exercise or rehab program.
Groundbreaking Multiple-Air Chamber Design
B3 Bands’ Patented, Multiple-Air Chamber Design are what sets us apart from other BFR technology on the market. This advanced design ensures a tourniquet effect is NOT created, which is a common issue/concern with other BFR bands being sold today. The innovative chamber design causes pressure to be evenly distributed, ensuring the bands are both effective & safe.
Design Provides Safety and Comfort
Another primary benefit of our Multiple-Air Chamber design is that it does not require a Doppler to measure blood flow. This alone simplifies using of B3 Bands, making them easy enough to use for beginners to seasoned profesional athletes. Safety’s of critical importance to us, and studies have shown our bands are as safe as normal-vigorous exercise for people ranging in age from 7 to 90+ years old.
As well as safety, B3 Bands are considered #1 in comfort! This leaves users to maintain focus on their workout & not dealing with the discomfort often experienced when using other types/brands of BFR bands.
Growth Hormone - Hormonal response to bfr
CONCLUSION
- LIGHT LOAD WITH BFR PRODUCES SIGNIFICANT MUSCLE FATIGUE.
- NERVOUS SYSTEM CONVEYS “MUSCLE BURN” SENSATIONS TO THE BRAIN.
- PITUITARY GLAND RELEASES GROWTH HORMONE.
- ANABOLIC HORMONES CIRCULATE IN BLOOD STREAM.
- THE HORMONES FACILITATE REPAIR AND INCREASE IN STRENGTH IN EXERCISED TISSUES.
This is an overly simplified, as the mechanism behind BFR is a complex theory.

Impact of Blood Flow Restriction Exercise on Muscle Fatigue Development and Recovery
“The strong decline in neuromuscular function and the fast recovery after low-intensity BFR exercise seem to provide a strong adaptive stimulus for muscular growth without long-lasting impairments in motor performance which are typically associated with heavy-load resistance training. From a practical point of view, low-intensity BFR exercise should be favored when applying high-frequency training regimes for muscle hypertrophy.”
– Husmann F1, Mittlmeier T, Bruhn S, Zschorlich V, Behrens M.
Youth Strength increases More with BFR, than with weights
The authors of this study compared parallel back squats for adolescents using low load BFR and comparing it to traditional weight lifting. They found greater strength gains in the youths using BFR.
They also point out that because there is reduced muscle damage, this may be a more tolerable form of strength training for youth.
“While both high-load traditional resistance training and low-load practical BFR resistance training can potentially increase muscular strength in adolescents, BFR may offer unique elements that could be appealing to teachers and coaches of this age group. High-load training typically induces some degree of muscle damage, which may cause short term muscular soreness (both acute and delayed) as well as diminished performance and function (27). Conversely, low-load BFR has been demonstrated to increase muscular strength without causing muscle damage. The present study is the first to indicate that low-load, practical BFR resistance training may also be an effective means for increasing muscular strength in adolescents.”
– Luebbers PE1, Witte EV, Oshel JQ.
Elderly see improvements in Daily Activities
“The greater improvement in physical function with blood flow restriction demonstrates how this addition can increase the quality of simple walking exercise for populations that may be contraindicated to heavy-load resistance training.
- Blood flow restriction walking provides a low-load alternative to resistance training for improving the physical function of older adults who may be contraindicated to high-load resistance training.
- Blood flow restriction walking improves physical function beyond that of traditional walking exercise.
- While higher than traditional walking, ratings of perceived exertion for 10 min of blood flow restriction walking were relatively low and improved with training program duration.”
– Matthew John Clarkson, Louise Conway, Stuart Anthony Warmington
Strength Gains with BFR Exceed Weights
The major finding in this study is that when it comes to building strength, performing BFR with light weights is just as effective as traditional weight training with heavy weights. While just using light weights alone was not able to improve strength.
Complications Incidence Rate
Authors of this national study of over 12K people, collected data from 105 facilities using BFRT (KAATSU) with over 12,000 people ranging 20-80 yrs of age. Subjects ranged from the healthy to those having: cerebrovascular diseases, orthopedic diseases, obesity, cardiac diseases, neuromuscular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory diseases.
The authors therefore concluded:
“…KAATSU training is a safe and promising method for training in the field of sports and healthy persons, and can also be applied to persons with various kinds of physical condition including cerebrovascular diseases, orthopedic diseases, obesity, cardiac diseases, neuromuscular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory diseases.”
– Sato et al.
“I am a busy gym owner that has been exercising all my life for an hour or more. I was shocked at what a 4-minute leg workout did with B3 Bands. Now I do all my exercise faster & better with the bands.”
-Jeannine Groll, Preston, Idaho
“Doing light resistance work and swinging for short periods with the bands on has enabled me to regain lost distance and maintain my strength & balance. What a difference it makes in my ability to remain strong throughout my rounds.”
-Gaylord Rhodes, The Las Vegas Golf Coach
“I love the B3 Band technology. Whether for an athletic advantage in sports performance, shorter injury rehab duration or improved health reasons, this technology is leading the way in transforming how we exercise.”
-Dr. Ken Otto, Appleton, WI
“Competing in National Pickleball Championships requires on court explosiveness & stamina. Before B3 Bands, I would work out an hour. Now I work out in the bands for 20 minutes and my performance & endurance have increased substantially.”
-Scott Moore, National Pickleball Hall of Fame
“I was introduced to the BFR bands in November 2020, and have loved every workout since. I reduced my workouts down to about 20 minutes a day & within the first month saw immediate results.”
-Sarah Larsen, Logan, Utah
“After rotator cuff surgical repair of a shoulder, it is a lengthy process for a patient the ability to rebuild strength safely & effectively. The B3 Bands have helped bridge the gap allowing patients to safely increase their shoulder strength earlier in the post-op recovery process, while feeling a satisfying burn.”
-Rhodes Physical Therapy, Farmington, Utah
What is BFR?
BFR stands for blood flow restriction. However, that’s a bit misleading when it comes to the B3 bands, because the patented multi-chamber design does NOT restrict blood flow. They provide a gentle squeeze that safely SLOWS the blood flow. In other words, our patented design turns the BFR technology into what we might more accurately refer to as Blood Flow Resistance, rather than Restriction.

Why so much $ ?
We asked Angi (from our Weight Loss page) what she thought about the price, this is her response:
“I can’t tell you I didn’t wish they were cheaper. That said, the ROI has proven to be off the charts, for me personally.
My bands are almost 3 years old & working like new. I used them daily for two years & 5x a week for the last year:
Year 1 365
Year 2 365
Year 3 260
Total uses 990
$500 (approx – including tax & shipping) / 990 = $0.51 cost per use
(drops to $0.38 if they last 2 more years)
So, for 51 cents per use, I get:
- Coaching for the first month. And personalized programs to support fitness or sports performance goals are available upon request.
- Patented, safety tested, technology that I can use safely without supervision.
- My pituitary gland releasing more HGH & Nitric Oxide than it has since I was an athlete in my youth. For FREE! I know people who’ve paid thou$and$ monthly for the synthetic version.
- All the anti-aging benefits that come from those two powerhouses! HGH & NO have rewound the clock for me.
- Scientific studies showing this technology improves in bone density, along with brain & cardiovascular health.
- Fastest & EASIEST way to get high intensity exercise that I have ever tried, while also being the least damaging to my body (low load & less time). My entire workout takes less time than driving to a gym!
The only way I can see these bands being a losing proposition, is if you buy them & don’t use them. But if you use them, you’ll find the price is a steal for ALL you get.”
Are B3 Bands Safe?
Yes. Our patented, multi-chamber design makes B3 Bands the safest on the market. Unless your doctor has restricted you from exercise, you can start getting HIT benefits from low-intensity exercise.

What else can I do with my bands besides walking?
You can use your bands while doing any activity you enjoy. You could even do practice drills for a particular sport. In fact, that’s how National Pikelball Champ, Scott Moore, improved his game. We do recommend that you do not exceed 20 minutes, when doing activities beyond walking.
You can even wear your bands while swimming. That’s right, our bands are waterproof, which means they’re washable. If you’re ready to start getting more from your exercise, get started here.
Can Seniors use the bands?
Since HIT (high intensity training) provides so many anti-aging & health benefits, the bands are FANTASTIC for seniors who’ve NOT been restricted from exericise by their physician.
Check out the amazing BFR benefits for anyone over 40 here.
Are they safe for kids?
The Mayo Clinic recommends Strength Training for children, but not Weight Training. If you’re beginning to understand how the BFR Biohack works, you know it’s right in line with the Mayo Clininc recommendation. The bands help anyone build Strength, without heavy weights.
In other words, if kids are exercising, they can use B3 Bands. We’ve had children as young as 5 yrs, who use, love & benefit from the bands.

What if I'm not exercising now?
B3 Bands will take any exercise to the next level. Start where you are and ease into it. If you’ve been immobile, you may start with someone assisting you to stand up & sit down as many times as you can. Remember, the goal is to feel the burn & keep it going as long as you can. That’s what we are shooting for, because we want the muscle to produce enough lactate to spill into the bloodstream. If you’re more mobile, start with some walks & see if you can feel the burn.
Once you discover how much you need to do to feel the burn & hold it for 3-5 minutes. Again, you don’t want to stop when you get the burn, you want to keep going with the burn as long as you can until you can, gradually working up to 3-5 min. You won’t believe what that 3-5 minutes will do to transform your health & your body!
With the BFR Biohack you’ll see real Results, Faster than you can imagine. It’s unbelievable how quickly you build muscle with BFR.
