April 05, 2021 Blood Flow Restriction Training (Joseph Marcus)
When first hearing about blood flow restriction training, it may sound more like an ancient torture device than an actual training strategy - at least it did to us! Restricting blood flow might seem like a counterintuitive training method, but this technique has been touted as “the next big fitness trend”. Airbands Founder Joseph Marcus discusses the research, practical application and more. We came into this interview skeptical, but left intrigued enough to try it out!
