For the band set up on BP, we set a dumb bell on each side of the bench in the same plain as we will be moving the bar. Take a band and run it under the DB and hook BOTH ends over the barbell on each side, so what you basically have is a double mini, under a DB hooked onto the bar you are lifting with.
I knew the bands helped out ALLOT on my squat so we started using them on everything else too.

nice, im competing the weekend before you

Ive found bands help me quite a bit too, but actually reverse bands I like more for whatever reason i seem to be able to stay in a better groove.

oh, and what is a landmine?

your log badly needs to be moved to the PL/oly/strongman section.. you shoud PM 'ian kay' and ask him to move it.

kurt mattison · 04-17-2008, 09:17 PM

I can't really explain what a "landmine" is, go to elitefts.com and look at their list of exercises I think it even has some video

my lifts have been really "sucking" as of late. went back and checked my log from last year at this time and realized the number of sets I was doing was significantly higher on my max bench, squat, and dead. Instead of doing an exercise to max, then adding the bands I've been just doing band and it seems to have hurt me. Plus with school, work, and kids I haven't been able to put the time in I was back then, SO it's back to the drawing board....
