Resistance Bands
« on: Sep 05, 2010, 04:10 PM »
Hey everyone.

A nice quick & easy question. First off, i'm a big fan of using resistance bands / chains when it comes to things like deadlifting, squatting, as well as other bits & pieces, such as flexibility training.

Something that i've been thinking about lately, is would things like snatch* / clean pulls, jerk squats (where you essentially hold the weight in the jerk position & squat to a 1/4 squat position) ect be enhanced with the use of resistance bands or chains? Do you suppose that they would help or hinder. I'm thinking of buying a whole set of them & trying them out, i'd love to hear some feedback & predictions first though!


*I'm aware that not everybody is a big fan of snatch pulls, for various reasons. I thought i'd include it in the list for the sake of an example.............
