The big problem...BIG BLOOD PRESSURE.

My BP is AOK, my wife watches hers and recently purchased a new Bluetooth BP meter.

So I had to play with it while doing High-Intensity Intervals (HIIT). Exercise increases your BP, LOTS!

At peak, my pulse is 167 on the spin bike but I had to take a minute to place the cuff and it dropped to 144 pulses/min.

228/112 !!!! My normal resting average is 118/78. So that is a big jump and I would not want to induce any local increases with bands.

My Physician said my findings were not unusual.

That sounds like an extremely dangerous practice, one that may suit a small group of people only.
It sounds like a good way to give yourself a Stroke!

Dr. Mercola has advocated this on his website.
I normally like his articles, but no thanks.

Voodoo bands. My distance runner son told me his whole college cross country team used them on their legs.

One thing that happens to people who compete in iron man is that their hearts get a lot bigger. when they get old and can’t compete anymore—their hearts start to contract and wrinkle like a prune. they get bad cases of atrial fibrillation.

this restriction strategy which jacks up blood pressure —looks like it will do the same thing over time with less effort.
