Strength vs. Speed: The Band Solution

Science Explains Why Bands Boost Your Lifts Stuck building just strength or speed?  Bands can help you achieve BOTH! ➡️ Swipe to learn the science behind bands!

The Force-Velocity Curve Explained

– Lighter weights: Speed matters less (think throwing a whiffle ball). – Heavier weights (barbells): Both force (strength) & speed are crucial. ➡️ Swipe to learn more!

The Problem with Traditional Training

– Barbells alone: Too heavy at the start, too light at the top. – Bands alone: Too light at the bottom, too heavy at the top. ➡️ Swipe to learn more!

Accommodating Resistance: Bands to the Rescue

– Combine bands with barbells for perfect resistance throughout the lift. – Target speed-strength or strength-speed by adjusting band tension. ➡️ Swipe to learn more!

Bands Address Sticking Points & Weaknesses

– Different joint angles affect force generation (why some struggle with deadlifts). – Bands create maximal tension throughout the entire range of motion. ➡️ Swipe to learn more!

Bands Mimic Muscles & Enhance Eccentric Phase

– Bands lengthen & contract, absorbing energy during lowering (eccentric phase). – This translates to more power in the lifting (concentric) phase. ➡️ Unleash Your Potential with Bands!
