Suji Cuffs Make 20 Pounds Feel Like 40
Blood flow restriction cuffs let you lift light weights with heavy muscle gains.
In brief
Blood flow restriction cuffs let you lift light weights with heavy muscle gains. Suji BFR cuffs create muscle growth using light weights by restricting blood flow temporarily. Originally reported by Men's Health.
The Problem
I felt stuck after shattering my collarbone in 2020, losing 20 pounds of muscle.
The Solution
Suji BFR cuffs restrict blood flow to make light weights feel heavy without cutting circulation.
How It Works
The cuffs create temporary pressure to limit blood leaving muscles while allowing some blood flow in.
Why It Works
Muscle fibers recruit as if lifting heavier weights, producing gains with light weights like 20-pound curls.
Personalized Pressure
Suji adjusts pressure based on limb size, blood pressure, and placement to avoid tourniquet effects.
The Feel
It feels like holding your breath until your face turns purple, then relief when blood returns.
When to Use
Use for days when heavy lifting feels too much, travel, or when you need more burn with less load.
The Trade-off
Requires medical advice, especially after surgery or for cardio or blood pressure issues.
The big picture
Suji BFR cuffs create muscle growth using light weights by restricting blood flow temporarily.
