Blood flow restriction during high load bench press does not increase bar velocity or cause physiological changes in non‐occluded agonist muscles
There was no difference in the change in velocity, or physiological responses during high load bench press with or without BFR at 50%AOP. While promising, use of BFR for upper body power may require pressures >50%AOP.
