Consult a Professional Before Starting

Preparation for Your RockCuff BFRT Session

​

To ensure the best results and a safe experience during your BFR training, make sure to follow these preparation steps before each session:

  • Hydrate: Drink at least 16oz of water to keep your body hydrated and support optimal circulation.

  • Limit Caffeine: Avoid consuming caffeine for at least 90 minutes prior to your session to reduce its effects on blood pressure and heart rate.

 

Following these simple steps will help you maximize the benefits of your RockCuff training sessions while ensuring your body is in an ideal state for performance.

Potential Side Effects of Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) Training

​

BFR training is generally safe, but like any exercise method, it may cause mild side effects for some users. When using RockCuff, these effects are rare, but may include:

  • Slight Bruising: Minimal and typically resolves quickly. Very rare with RockCuff

  • Numbness or Tingling: Uncommon and usually temporary sensations with RockCuff.

  • Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS): A normal response, especially when starting a new program or increasing exercise intensity. Typically associated with cuffs that are too wide and not with RockCuff.

 

These side effects are generally non-threatening and resolve with time. If symptoms persist or cause concern, consult a healthcare professional.
