Basically, they strap to your arms or legs and trap the blood inside the muscle during a workout. It tricks your brain into thinking you're lifting massive weights, meaning you can build muscle using just 5-pound dumbbells without wrecking your joints.

I'm specifically looking at the SmartCuffs 4.0. They have a built-in computer that reads your body and automatically inflates with air to the exact, safe pressure, so there's zero guesswork on how tight to make them.

Has anyone actually used these? Are they worth it?

I know it’s used by professional athletes and stuff

I will warn you you do get that burning feeling you get during a workout sometimes the whole time, and you have to go until failure, but it makes workouts much faster and it’s easier on joints.
