Some recent workouts

Re: Some recent workouts

Body weight is staying betweeen 200-204. Strength is still increasing and vascularity remains insane. Appetite is so so but it is alright for now as it is making it easier to watch what I'm eating.

Re: Some recent workouts

bands are a great change up!

Re: Some recent workouts

You seem to be using bands a lot. Is this a change of routine you do every so often? How do you decide when to use them and what different results do you get?

I try to use the bands on at least one of my body part exercises each workout but it depends on where I train. A lot of our gyms don't really have machines or smiths that are suited for using bands so basically what I choose to use them in is determined by what I make work with them.
The benefit of the bands are
1. The closer you get to lockout the stronger you are on most lifts so by attaching the bands you can in erase the resistance as you perform the positive.
2. By default this also helps with injury prevention as when you are in a stretched position you are vulnerable to injuries. With bands you can deload that part of the lift without taking away from the rest of the lift.
3. And lastly it help the muscles to learn to accelerate through the movement. If I use the bands on an exercise for most of the sets and then perform a drop set where I take the bands off you will see the acceleration in the movement now that the weight is constant. When I use this technique with preacher curls I almost punched myself in the face with the bar after taking the bands off to continue the set.
