This was my first time pulling against bands. We decided to try changing my program from one week off the floor, one week off blocks, to one week against bands, and the next against blocks. The big thing I noticed was that there was no room for error pulling against bands. It forced me to stay tight, wedge in, and keep the bar against me the whole time. I only have one video from training, and you can see my first rep was tight and in a good position, second rep not as tight but still stuck with it, and my third rep I didn't have the bar pulled in tight enough and the bands drifted the bar away from me. Once the bar drifted away I had no chance to recover it. I'm looking forward to getting better at this. Do you pull against bands? Do you find it works well for you? Leave a comment below.
