Anyone tried this on arms? Or any other body part really. If so, what were the results? Was it beneficial?

Ive tried it, on arms, quads and calves. Pretty intense. I feel it did nothing really for growth

The Biggest that my legs have ever been was when I started every session with a 100 rep set of occluded leg press.

Was the size maintainable or did you lose it after you stopped doing occlusion training?

I definitely didn't maintain it all. They were 26's at the time and are now pushing to get 25.

Any of it able to maintain? I hear about people hitting a certain body part everyday and it grows but as soon as they stop it goes back to its former size. Wonder if its the same thing with this

I think that it is more a matter of increasing mitochondrial density. Sry I meant to type capillary density.

I tried the BFR before and I couldn't seem to get them tight enough on my arm, plus they pinched the skin. Just use knee wraps, cheaper and more effective IMO.

Lee priest had a intereview where he said there pointless, he said there's a reason why you don't see pros using them and the ones who have tried end up going back to normal training.
