How do I know if I should use more or less pressure in the bands? I currently use 250 in the arm bands and 300 in the leg bands. Is there a benefit of going higher or symptoms if I have gone too high?Updated a year ago

The goal of all B Strong sessions is to get a “good”, robust feeling of fatigue from the session.  One has the variables of:

1. Pressure in the bands.
2. The types of exercises one does.
3. The number of sets and reps that are done.
4. The loads or weights that are used.

The “job” of the B Strong practitioner is to arrange these 4 variables in combination to get that “good” fatigue signal.

So, if the person, is not getting a robust fatigue signal (meaning they perceive it is not hard enough), they can choose to increase pressure or increase the number of exercises, sets and reps or increase the loads used in each exercise.  Having said that, we rarely go above 300 mmHg on arms and 400 mmHg on legs.  As the individual gets more fit, it typically takes more exercises and higher loads to get the same degree of fatigue.  Normally, we don’t increase pressure under those circumstances.
