OT Bands are made to be worn on the arms or legs during your regular fitness and training activities to optimize venous blood flow from the muscles and to decrease oxygen levels in the targeted muscle groups. Exercising in this low oxygen state compounds the benefits of any activity and allows users to achieve major strength gains with less intensity.
“For strength training this method is perfect! Also helped with previous injuries, that allowed me to perform lifts I had not been able to do because of limitations.”

“I think it’s the most revolutionary training method I’ve ever seen,” Bode Miller tells Military Times. “I think its going to be the most widely beneficial [training method] – good for people from 12 years old to 80 and from elite athletes and law enforcement and military to stay-at-home moms and dads. There’s an application for every human on the planet with this”

Optimizing blood flow also acts as a natural way to increase human growth hormone, muscular endurance, metabolic rate, and testosterone, which further elicit muscle growth. On top of the physical benefits, OT Bands are comfortable because they do not have a hard clasp and additional strap material hanging loosely from your body. OT Bands are custom fit to your arms or legs and contract and expand with your movement, making them a safer and more effective alternative. They can be worn under or over workout or street clothes for added comfort, flexibility and functionality.
For athletes, OT Bands take cross training exercises to the next level. Cross-training is all about saving your best for the competition while still increasing your strength, and OT Bands help you do just that. Because our bands shorten your workout time and allow you to use less resistance, they reduce physical stress on your joints and ligaments while compounding the benefits and increasing muscle strength and growth.
“ The HUGE thing I noticed is I generally experience extreme delayed onsite muscle soreness (DOMS) when changing over to different kinds of programming or using exercises I have not used in a while. OT Bands GREATLY diminished the DOMS I would have experienced in the past. For example, when I deadlift for the first time in a while, my hamstrings will be on fire for days from simply lifting 95 lbs. On my first deadlift day in over 6 months, I pulled 175 for 6 sets of 6 and never had any soreness in my hamstrings or glutes. I was generally sore, but not the "I can't walk up the stairs" kind of sore that I was expecting. Pretty remarkable honestly.”
