Khalid Bou-Rabee is a Professor of Mathematics at the City University of New York specializing in Geometric and Combinatorial Group Theory.

🔑 Key takeaways
- Proper variable resistance training can work as well as free weights
- Banded training requires heavy duty bands, a bar, a foot plate, and attachment mechanism for maximum effectiveness
- Consistency matters most for long-term fitness. Training with bands helps prevent injury and ensures your longevity
- Stacking Harambe, super slow strength training, and KAATSU is Nick's favorite fitness hack
