Blood flow restriction (BFR) bands are unnecessary when using X3 because variable resistance already produces hypoxia through constant tension, and combining BFR with X3 provides no additional benefit while adding recovery cost (1+1=1, not 1+1=2)

Evidence Quote

when you use constant tension with X3, you're getting it anyway and you're not limiting the muscle performance at all. So, it's like it's a 1 + 1 = 1.
