Band squats are great for developing explosive leg power. The bands pull the athlete down faster than with just weight on their back. The athlete must decelerate this downward force, pause and then explosively accelerate back upwards in the concentric phase. This deceleration-pause-acceleration is what a hockey player goes through when they change direction on the ice stops & starts.

  • We use the bands with our mature athletes. On squats they use in the range of 50% to 60% of their 1 rep max and move the weight explosively in sets of 3 reps

  • If your following Westside Barbell protocol for dynamic squats you should be doing sets of 2 reps for the lower body.

  • Is there a certain was you should use Power Bands & Chains? Meaning, should you use higher weight & lower resistance, or lower weight & higher resistance?
