Frequently Asked Questions

How do the B3 Bands Work?

B3 Bands are the product of 40+ years of research, ingenuity, experience and over 30,000 real life exercise sessions!

The B3 Bands are based on a scientific discovery in exercise that uses BFR (Blood Flow Resistance). This process uses the body’s natural systems in combination with light weight-training to produce results that will change the way you work-out forever.

While doing light exercise with the B3 Bands on your arms or legs, the blood exiting out of your venous system back to the heart is slowed down. This reduction in blood flow while doing exercises causes the muscle to fatigue quicker.

When a muscle fatigues, a signal is sent to your brain which results in a surging hormone release. These hormones then send a signal back to your muscles to stimulate them to adapt. This adaptation results in positive changes in the muscle. This hormone release has many other anti-aging and rejuvenating effects on your Body.

Are the B3 Bands Safe?

When used correctly, BFR is as safe as normal exercise!

B3 Bands are safe for all ages that are currently exercising or are capable of exercise. If your Doctor has not advised you against exercise, you can use B3 Bands. A Study of 12,000 people in Japan showed that BFR training is a safe and promising method for training in the field of sports, healthy persons, and can also be applied to persons with various kinds of physical conditions including cerebrovascular diseases, orthopedic diseases, obesity, cardiac diseases, neuromuscular diseases, diabetes, hypertension, and respiratory diseases.

Is there Science and Studies on BFR?

BFR (Blood Flow Resistance Training) has been proven in science and research. There are over 300 Studies, Case Studies and Peer Reviews that have been published, many of which are available online. The overwhelming amount of research shows that BFR:

Is a safe form or exercise when following standard safety protocol
Allows people to exercise in less time with less weight and/or volume of work
Low-intensity exercise with BFR, can produce results similar to high-intensity exercise
BFR can increase Growth Hormone response from exercise
BFR can have additional positive health benefits for the Heart, Brain and Bones
BFR also has many benefits in the rehab of injury or surgery

Go here to watch a video on Science of BFR as well as review 6 studies.

How do B3 Bands compare to other BFR Bands?

There are 4 categories of BFR bands on the market:

Cheap Straps and Wraps: These are dangerous and you should avoid using these. (See video via link below)
Air Chamber Bands: Every air chamber band (Other than B3) on the market is a single air chamber. These bands are difficult to put on, can occlude blood flow, and many are very uncomfortable. (See video via link below)
B3 Multi-Air Chamber Bands: B3 Bands are the only bands with multiple air chambers that ensure safety, and effectiveness for everyone from 8-90 y.o. The USA Olympic Team uses the multiple air chamber bands for a reason, they are the most effective, and safest. (See video via link below)
Expensive Rehab Bands: Kaatsu and Delfi, are priced from $2000 - $5000. In addition they are single air chamber, and require training and supervision.

Why will Weight Loss be easier?

Weight Loss occurs when the amount of calories you burn during a day exceeds the amount of calories you consume. Most people focus on how many calories they consume. The only way to increase the amount of calories you burn daily is to exercise.

When you do high intensity exercise, you increase your Resting Metabolism which is the rate at which your body burns calories at rest. Obviously if you could increase your resting metabolism, you would lose weight.

The best way to raise resting metabolism is to do high intensity exercise for 1 hour a day. With the B3 Bands, doing light intensity exercise for less than 20 minutes, simulates high intensity exercise, and thus increases your resting metabolism.

Thus B3 Bands will increase resting metabolism, resulting in greater caloric burn during your day, leading to fast weight loss.

What if I have Heart issues?

The more we research BFR Training, the more we see promising benefits to your cardiovascular system. A study of 12,000 people, including those with cardiac disease, hypertension, and diabetes shows that exercise with BFR is as safe as normal exercise.

If you are cleared by your doctor to do light or moderate exercise you can use B3 Bands, unless you have one of the following conditions:

Stage III or higher Hypertension: 160/100 to 179/109
High Class Arrhythmias
Acute Sickness
Lymphedema
Untreated Deep Vein Thrombosis

Here are few of the finding from the studies that you can access below via the more info link:

“Our findings suggested that BFR training might be effective in lowering blood pressure during exercise”

“The study concludes that BFR is a promising and effective method for cardiac rehabilitation"

"The most notable transcriptional change in response to BFR was for VEGF. VEGF is the central growth factor involved in regulating angiogenesis. This potent growth factor is a critical signal in vascular remodeling”

How will B3 Bands effect Vericose Veins?

Varicose veins are a common issue in people as they get older. Veins in our legs can lose their ability to expand and contract which is essential to moving blood back to the heart as the heart is pumping, this is called Venous Compliance (ability of the vein to expand and contract). As Venous compliance declines, we begin to see the varicose veins that are bulging under our skin.

Unfortunately ageing induces the decline in limb venous compliance. Reduced venous compliance is certainly one of the common risk factors of varicose veins. Therefore, we need some way to counter the decline in venous compliance.

There are many experts that believe venous compliance is improved by endurance exercise. Studies show that people who do regular endurance type exercise have much higher venous compliance and thus less varicose veins and complications from varicose veins.

The Problem: Most people as they get older cannot perform, or do not want to perform endurance exercise, and thus they are highly susceptible to declining venous compliance.

The Solution: Walking with BFR Bands like B3 Bands, has been proven to improve venous compliance!

Go here to see the Study on BFR and Venous Compliance

What if I have thinning Bones?

BFR exercise with B3 Bands can be beneficial to strengthening your bones!

We all know someone we care about, maybe a parent or grandparent, that we are concerned about weakening of their bones. Maybe some of you are already worried for yourself?

It is a well-known fact that high intensity strength training with heavy weights is beneficial to bones, however, most people cannot tolerate heavy weight training, and many more just do not want to lift heavy weights. Certainly our senior population cannot consider heavy weight training.

Now we have a Solution! Light Exercise with B3 Bands has many benefits. Research shows it may be just what your bones need!

Here is a Summary from 4 studies with direct quotes:

"Using BFR showed improved skeletal bone mass patterns in people with certain diseases (e.g. avascular necrosis of the femoral head and osteopenia or osteoporosis), and other papers showed that low intensity exercise combined with BFR may provide not only an increase in muscle adaptation, but also in bone and consequently modification in its biomarkers"

"Studies analyzed two biomarkers (bone alkaline phosphatase and amino-terminal telopeptides, respectively) and found that BFR training also accelerates bone metabolism"

"The results presented by the selected studies showed that both aerobic and anaerobic exercises combined with BFR can provide satisfactory results related to the bone biomarkers. Thus, this technique (BFR) is a feasible and applicable alternative to many population groups (elderly, young, physically active or not), that aim to treat or slow up the effects of bone diseases"

What are the Benefits of Growth Hormone?

How to Get Growth Hormone Surge from Exercise, without the Hard Work!

(See the Video via the Link Below)

Growth Hormone comes with High Intensity Exercise. With Growth Hormone comes these benefits:

Build Lean Muscle, Shed Fat and Lose Weight Fast
Have more Strength, Energy and Endurance
Feel Younger, Look Younger, and Sleep Better
Plus Build Stronger Bones and a Healthier Cardiovascular System
And ... Live Longer

The Problem:

Most of us do not have an hour every day for high intensity exercise
If we are exercising, most of us are not doing high intensity exercise
Most of us do not want to lift heavy weights
Most of us do not want the pain and soreness following high intensity exercise

The Solution:

Kids, Teens, Men and Women of any age (8-90) can now use B3 Bands and do Light Exercise in less than 20 minutes a day from anywhere
This light exercise with B3 Bands promotes a Big Growth Hormone Release
With the Bands there is little or no soreness the next day

The video accessed below explains the 4 studies that demonstrate that both Men and Women can perform low intensity exercise with BFR Bands, like the B3 Bands, and stimulate a big Growth Hormone release!

Can Kids/Teenagers use B3 Bands?

Kids as early as 8 y.o. that have already starting exercising can benefit from B3 Bands. Kids and Teenagers can use the Bands for up to 20 minutes a day to accelerate their fitness, build strength and muscle, improve speed and endurance, and take their sport to a new level.

A great benefit is that B3 Bands only require light weight or no weight, and thus will not put any stress on growth plates. In addition recovery time is fast after using B3 Bands.

Kids/Teenagers can use the bands in many ways:

Do aerobic or running activity for up to 10 minutes
Practice their sport with B3 Bands: hitting Baseballs, practicing Soccer, shooting Basketballs, spiking Volleyballs, hitting Golf Balls, practicing Pickleball or Tennis ground strokes, doing Wrestling Drills, etc.

As long as the kid/teenager is not prohibited from exercise and does not have any of the following rare conditions, they can use B3 Bands:

Untreated Deep Vein Thrombosis
Stage III or higher Hypertension: 160/100 to 179/109
High Class Arrhythmias
Early Post-Op
Acute Sickness or Acute Injury
Lymphedema
Sickle Cell Anemia

Can Seniors use B3 Bands?

We have seniors up to 90 y.o. using B3 Bands with great results. If you Doctor has not prohibited you from light exercise such as walking or light weight training you can use B3 Bands to do light exercise. (See safety instructions link below)

B3 Bands utilize BFR training which has been proven in multiple studies to benefit fitness levels as well as additional benefits to:

Growth Hormone Release
The Cardiovascular System
Bone Strength
Blood flow to the Brain and Cognitive Function
Leg venous compliance
Can improve function of Insulin for Diabetics

We recommend Seniors use the bands in two ways:

Go for a Brisk walk with the B3 Bands for 10 minutes. Then work up to 20 minutes over the course of several weeks
Use B3 Exercise Tubing to follow the basic upper and lower body exercises > See the Exercise Guide

As long as you are not prohibited from exercise and you do not have any of the following conditions, you can use B3 Bands:

Untreated Deep Vein Thrombosis
Stage III or higher Hypertension: 160/100 to 179/109
High Class Arrhythmias
Early Post-Op
Acute Sickness or Acute Injury
Lymphedema
Sickle Cell Anemia
Indwelling Catheter
Oxygen Tank

B3 Bands have been proven as safe as normal exercise. See FAQ #1 to review the safety review of 12,000 people.

How can athletes benefit from B3 Bands?

Athletes of all ages will benefit from using B3 Bands for their training.

As it applies to weight training, BFR reduces time and weight/load. Results are similar or even better than traditional heavy weight training. Best of all . . . Recovery time is dramatically reduced.

Young Athletes that cannot lift heavy weights due to their young age, can use B3 Bands and quickly build strength and muscle.

As it applies to sport specific training, B3 Bands can be applied while you are practicing your sport. This will lead to more strength, endurance and amplitude in the movements and actions of your specific sport.

B3 Bands for Rehab from Injury or Surgery?

Using BFR for rehab is becoming a common practice with Doctors, Therapists, and Trainers. There are several benefits to B3 Bands and rehab:

Use of B3 Bands on non-injured body parts stimulates growth hormone release which will facilitate faster healing
Use of B3 Bands in early rehab on effected body part can be started when heavier weight cannot be tolerated
Use of B3 bands will allow quicker return to functional exercise due to lighter weights used

The results of using B3 Bands is typically:

Less or no muscle wasting or deterioration
Faster healing
Quicker Return to normal function
Stronger and better function than normal rehab

How do the Bands work on other Body Parts like Chest and Core?

When you first use the B3 Bands on your arms or legs you create the quick fatigue or metabolic crisis that sends the signal to the brain, creating the Growth Hormone response. Growth Hormone is now available to every muscle you work during your exercise session, including core. Thus if you do core exercises after your arms or legs are fatigued, your core will have the benefit of growth hormone for better adaption and results

How can your chest, back, and shoulders benefit with the bands? There is a cross-over fatigue or reduced blood flow into your chest, back and shoulders after you have done your arms that you will quickly notice. Thus you will be able fatigue these areas faster and deeper than if the bands were not on your arms.

Thus we suggest you work your arms or legs first, then work core and or Chest/Back/Shoulders.
