 the damage that resistance training provides the muscles tends to be the greatest that the stretch portion of a rep. Now there's a positive that you get a lot of muscle growth from that. And so they've done studies to show that loading a stretch portion of a rep produces more muscle growth than let's say loading the top portion. But that's not the full picture. Number one, the whole thing builds muscle. So you don't want to discount the whole rep and just try and focus on the stretch. But number two, if something causes less damage, that means you could do more of it. Here's one of the interesting thing about band type workouts. You could train a lot with bands. You can add a way more with bands and you can with free weights or machines. The positive of that is you get to practice movements more often. You get to train the CNS more often. And there's value to that. Like athletes know this, Olympic lifters train a lot. They train very frequently at suboptimal intensities because they understand that this allows them to be stronger because it perfect a movement. And then for people who want to build muscle, there's a carryover. So bands just don't damage your body. Like if I use weights and add bands to it versus adding more weights, it doesn't hammer my body as much. It's just a lot easier on the body.
