Practical BFR
Use cheap knee wraps, not a cuff. Tighten so the limb pumps, never so it goes numb.

Cuff the limb and lift light when your joints won't take heavy.
Keep metcon for conditioning, and never race a clock with a barbell overhead.
Go actually all out for all eight rounds, or you're just doing intervals.
Load the bar for the body that showed up today, not for last week's percentage.
Plan the next block in phases. Same total sets, a heavier top single at the end.
Count hard sets per muscle each week. Add one a week until your lifts stall.
Add weight to the bar every week. 40 minutes a week bottoms out your death risk.
Run one comfortably hard sustained effort a week, held not raced.
Run easy 80% of the time. Go slow enough that the hard day can be hard.
