BFR training allows muscle growth with 20-30% loads. Learn the mechanisms, safety protocols, and evidence-based programming for home use.
Author Health Science Editor
Dash Hartwell has spent 25 years asking one question: what actually works? With dual science degrees (B.S. Computer Science, B.S. Computer Engineering), a law degree, and a quarter-century of hands-on fitness training, Dash brings an athlete's pragmatism and an engineer's skepticism to health journalism. Every claim gets traced to peer-reviewed research; every protocol gets tested before recommendation. When not dissecting the latest longevity study or metabolic health data, Dash is skiing, sailing, or walking the beach with two very energetic dogs. Evidence over marketing. Results over hype.
