#antitransformationtuesday 🤔 Left was before gym closing, right is 10 weeks later. For the past 10 weeks I primarily did full-body @bfr_bands training in an effort to retain size since I only had access to resistance bands, dumbbells that maxed at 50lbs and bodyweight exercises. The BFR training science proved to be true. I kept my size, and even added a little in my arms with MUCH lighter weight than I am used to lifting. Hypertrophy gains for sure. The down side is that after returning to the gym this week, I am noticably weaker when going back to the heavier weight. I had to drop the weight on every lift by at least 10-15%. And even after that, I could not match my previous reps using the lighter weight. Here are the Pros and Cons of doing only BFR training for the past 10 weeks. Pro - More size with less weight - Shorter workouts - Less chance of injury - Less central nervous system fatigue - Quicker recovery Con - Reduced strength If your only goal is hypertrophy 100%, then this type of training is likely perfect for you. If you want to focus solely on strength (ie. power lifting) then you likely won't want to use BFR at all. If you want to gain size and strength, then go with regular compound lifts and work in some BFR training for isolation work at the end of your workouts. I plan to go with the last plan. 👍🏻 What about you? #bfrtraining #occlusiontraining #ketoing #bodybuilding #gainslife #fitstagram #moremuscle #trainingresults #bfrbands #growmorewithless #fitnessinfo #strengthtraining #hypertrophytraining https://www.instagram.com/p/CArMYL4gict/?igshid=13dogh3gq187j
