There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I've been using them now for a while and love the 2" leg bands. They're easy to fasten and the numbered increments are great for ensuring I'm applying the same pressure to both legs. I own a different set of bands with no markings and I'd be in my own head during my workouts wondering whether or not I was feeling the same pressure and getting the same occlusion on both legs. With these bands I can simply focus on my workout.
I had a couple of problem with the 1" arm bands. The first problem is that I wasn't able to achieve much occlusion in my arms. I experimented with different pressures and I was able to finally get occlusion, but the pressure was so tight that it felt like the bands were cutting into my arms. My arms are relatively large and it seems that 2" bands work better for me. The other problem is that they are a bit difficult to fasten because they really require two hands. So, unless you have help from someone else, expect to use some combination of your hands and teeth in order to tighten these around your arms. Because of these two issues, I realized that ordering the 1" bands was a mistake for me and I should have ordered the PRO-X bands. This leads me to my next point...
I emailed Kusha to let him know that I loved the leg bands, but wasn't going to be able to use the arm bands. I asked if I could return the arm bands and pay the difference to upgrade to the PRO-X bands. Literally five minutes later I had a response from him asking for my address so that he could send me the PRO-X bands!...no need to return the arm bands, no need to pay to upgrade...
If you're new to BFR, I can tell you that it works. I can also tell you that this is absolutely the company you want to purchase bands from. The bands themselves are great. If you have a problem with them, the customer service is exceptional.
NOTE: The ones I got were 27" and not 40", and asked a question about it. Seller said they should be 40" so I returned and re-ordered - and got 27" ones. Looks like the specs were changed to 27" now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I find them a little hard to put over shorts, and don't really want to do them under. They look kind odd, but I'm using them for performance and not for how they look. Overall quite pleased since figuring out the right number to use. However, they have to stretch a lot and I hope they don't wear out quickly.
I have trained using these bands several times now, having warn them on my arms for chest, back and arms/shoulder workouts. I have also recently tried them on leg day. I must say that the quad pump I had, was like feeling cement in my legs!
The quality of the bands are sturdy, strong and durable. Adjusting the tension is easy, applying them is easy too. As far as comfort goes; The material is strong and tough, comfort is not a 10, but def not uncomfortable. They stay in place and don’t shift. As far as the excess
Of the strap once tightened down, it can be tucked into the strap. It again isn’t the most comfortable method, but does work and they do stay in place. I didn’t purchase these for looks and comfort, I purchased them for the application. The BFR Bands have definitely exceeded my expectations as far as use is concerned! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to increase strength and or size, looking to change up their routine, or beginners who cannot lift heavy weight. They’re application can benefit a plethora of fitness levels.

I'm totally satisfied that the product is a good one. The elastic seems to be aggressive but not overly so, and the fastener is easy to operate, stays in place, and doesn't feel uncomfortable when it's tight against the skin. I like the fact that I got 4 straps instead of 2
Top reviews from other countries
I work on a 2 week on, 2 week off scheudule. I also check myself fairly regularly with skinflap body fat percentage calipers. When I'm at work, I don't typically work out. At home, I work out every day. My cycle is: Lose lean mass/fat and weight at work. Regain both on my days off, but with a slight increase of fat loss vs lean.
Since I've started including BFR workouts, my lean mass loss has decreased, even though my weight loss is still going down. I have 2 years of data of these trends. EG, typically I'd be 140-145 lean, 40-45 fat. Since introducing BFR, I've kept the 142-145 lean mass, and now I'm at 35 fat. That trend never existed before changing to BFR based workouts.
These straps have consistent pressure, the number guides are great for maintaining similar tension between workouts, and I get a pump. It also forces me to stay in sync between reps. I'm sure any BFR band would do that, but these ones are the ones I've chosen, and they've worked out really well for me.
Its definitely worth the faff and cash!!
