The goal of this clinical trial is to identify any differences in elbow ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) relative thickness and joint space laxity in the dominant arm following an 8-week course of low intensity resistance exercises with blood flow restriction (BFR) exercises in healthy volunteers. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Do BFR exercises contribute to a change in the relative ligament thickness of the UCL, and changes in the ulnohumeral joint space? 2. Are there changes in arm strength following the 8-week strengthening protocol with/without BFR? Participants will: * Complete two BFR sessions a week for a total of eight weeks. * Complete an exercise session with both arms (dominant arm will receive BFR) at each study visit. * Have sonographs taken of the UCL at the first and last study visit. * Complete strength assessments at the first and last study visit.
