  • does anyone know where he got the bands

  • @nikolatesla08 I bought mine at elitefts.com

    

  • why don't they just add some kind of hooks at the bottom of the rack ... or do they in the newer ones?

    how long does a cheap band last if it gets abused a lot? a local trainer said he has not seed one durable enough to be worth buying. tho all i have seen is "made in china" ...

    it looks scary when you go under the bands in the video. looks like the bar is about to shoot ha ha

  • Some rack have special hooks for bands, but most don't.

    As far as bands go, I would go with the "Jump Stretch" bands, or the bands from (I think the name is) "Woody Fitness". If you just buy tubing from a local sporting goods store, it will not provide much resistance and it will likely snap at some point.

  • The Jump Stretch bands are pretty durable. Mine have been through some pretty regular use over at least two or three years and are still in pretty decent shape. If you decide to use them, I think you should make a habit of inspecting them before every use, just to be on the safe side.

  • No matter what, whether you are doing full squats or squats to parallel, everyone should be TRYING as hard as possible to maintain their arch throughout the range of motion.

    I hope that answered your question....

  • Great info.

    Just read Charles Poliquin "chains should be approximately 40-50 percent of your 1RM in the bench press"

    This is a bit of a task to work out with the bands.

    Just had a thought.You could get an idea of the strength of the bands,by seeing what weight they lifted at ones height.

  • That's a badd-assed gym. Is that a converted warehouse? That is tight!

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

  • Very good video. Thank you! We are planning on starting the chains during next month's training cycle. I appreciate the insight.

  • Both.

  • When are bands and chains useful? If the bottom is my weak point?  Or if I want to work speed?
