Ronin Wraps Razor Edition | Rigid BFR Occlusion Bands for Upper Body Training | Blood Flow Restriction Workouts

Amazing product with simple use.

These bands are unique in that they are not made of elastic material like most bands are. They're made from thick material that, I find at least, are more effective at producing the occlusion effect.One thing I noticed with elastic-type bands is that they had a tendency to loosen a bit after a lot of reps...the pumping action during bicep curls would cause this. They would still work well enough...this material works better.I also quite like the numbering on the band itself, giving you a good way to gauge the tightness of the band so you can replicate it on your next set or next workout.Overall, very nice piece of equipment...different from standard bands, but the difference is effective.

Does the simple task of arm occlusion. Easy to put on and take off. Less cost than some other bands which do the same thing.

With most gyms still closed during the quarantine I've had to make due with just a handful of dumbbells at home. Weight plates have taken a serious gouging in prices due to the understandable spike in demand but I haven't bothered beefing up the modest home gym. These occlusion bands are meant to be used with light weights and high repetitions to stimulate hypertrophy. My originals have treated me well for a couple of years now but when I saw there was an updated version for the same price as before, I had to check them out. Tomorrow's going to be my first workout with them but I just had to bust out this review in good faith just by the design updates alone. The robust material and lack of buckles were improvements I didn't know I wanted and I'm all the more pleased to know investing $20 on these simple but effective training aids was money well-spent instead of on one or two overpriced Olympic plates!7/7 Update - The verdict is in: do yourself a favor and ditch any elastic-type occlusion bands. The hardier and simplified "Razor" edition Ronin Wraps seriously took a notch up (no pun intended) in my lifting intensity.

Used once. Hurts and pinches skin as you get more and more of a pump. Haven’t used since

This product was 100% a "try out and see" thing for me. Problem is, I'm of scientific mind, and what I gained from this may not be the same for someone else, and here in lies the issue, I cannot go back in time/arm shape, to find out if what I had been doing would have been the same with or without these bands. I will say, these bands are simple to use, but will cause minor bruising if you have loose skin where the blood can pool at. "Use at your own risk". Seriously, ask your doctor if certain training styles and particular workouts are safe for you to do. Stay safe out there ladies and gents.

Since I had to start working out more at home versus going to the gym, I've been only using resistance and loop bands to get my workout done. Not necessarily a lot of weights on that so it was hard to maintain muscle mass, until my brother pointed out the Ronin Wraps.They are amazing and I use them for every single workout (i.e. Chest, Back, Shoulders, Arms, etc.). With the principle of Occlusion Training, and the eBook they provide with your purchase, you can really get a better pump that makes the muscles work harder without needing heavy weights in your home.I definitely recommend them to push yourself to get better results without going crazy on weights.

I got these after having some wider straps. They work well. I like that they have numbers and dots to gauge how tightly they're wrapped. The Velcro closure holds until you remove it.

Wow! It works really well
