Quotable moments:

"You can perform the normal resistance training that you would perform... but throw BFR cuffs on there, reduce the load. There alone, your overall fatigue is going to reduce." - Steven Borden

"I can say anecdotally that I've noticed a difference. I've used it when I travel. And I really, really liked the way I feel." - Dr. Erik Korem

"For people that play pickleball a lot, this is a really good training modality. Especially if you're playing three, four times a week, you do need to be doing resistance training a couple of times a week." - Dr. Erik Korem

"In general, it seems like BFR training is about as safe as regular exercise, equated for intensity." - Steven Borden
