BFR stacks an unusual number of benefits into a single low-load protocol: muscle hypertrophy, decreased muscle damage, increased growth hormone release, improved tendon structure and stiffness, reduced atrophy during disuse, stem cell proliferation, and new blood vessel growth. Few training interventions claim this many mechanisms at once, which is why BFR is increasingly used in clinical rehab and not just gyms.
