AWwwwwwwwwwwwsome! strong pulls

Question:

When i do my pulls againest pulls i usually do poormans style (foot thru loop then loop around the bar to the other)

...How can i replicate that similar setup if i don't have accsess to hooks?

Heavy Dumbbells and some small plates to stop them rolling :nod:

I do my band pulls similar to yours (because I only have 1 of each band ) except I stand on the middle of the band and loop the 2 ends of the band over the bar just inside my grip. Creates a bit more tension as the band has to stretch further and gives me tension straight from the floor.

Does the way you set it up leave the band slightly slack from the floor?

Churr bro...will make a mental note of that one!

yep yea theres abit of slack but that it goes pretty quickly, esp with my tall frame. I tried that way aswell, dunno but i felt like both styles were making me pull in a different line each set?? :-s i think that may of been partly due to the fact the bands were looped around the bar couple atimes and never really sat where you wanted them too

is it that good to any band work when the technique is not quite right and gets more un balanced as the reps go on makes small problems into big ones
