So it calculates the pressure . And again , just for the refresher , for folks , the purpose of blood flow restriction is to operate at about 30% of the exclusive pressure , the arterial occlusive pressure , which when you're using kind of crap , you know , just bands , you don't really have a sense of what your reclusive pressure is . Unless you're applying a Doppler signal to your distal extremities , which is very cumbersome .
Kind of how do you utilize that throughout the week ? So I have really enjoyed blood flow restriction especially since I got new uh cuffs . So when I started , I was doing it purely ghetto style and I still , I enjoyed it , but I wasn't even coming close to tapping into sort of what the potential of that was uh for the last oh God , probably three months I've been using uh kind of a , well , it's called , the brand is actually called smart cuff and it's a night and day difference .
So we got a lot of good questions following the Jeremy Lennay and some of the exercise podcast . So I thought we'd kind of start there and there's some blood flow restriction questions . But I thought it might be helpful for people before we get into some of those specifics .
That's when I'll typically lift got it . So I know from the Jeremy Lenke podcast , you were talking about kind of how you were starting to incorporate blood flow restriction . So , like I think one of the main questions we saw from subscribers after that was , you know , how are you utilizing that into your exercise program ?
But just for folks to remember it's 30 reps , rest , 30 seconds , 15 reps , rest , 30 seconds , 15 reps , rest , 30 seconds , 15 reps . That is the standard prescribed procedure for BFR . You're doing this at a weight that is 30 to 40% of your one rep max .
