The benefit of rowing with a resistance band rather than barbells or dumbbells that demand a steady level of resistance throughout the repetition, is the change in stimuli, which is caused by an increase in resistance as the band stretches further.
Main Muscles: Latissimus Dorsi, Biceps, Rear Deltoids
Key Points: – Keep your back straight, ass out and core tight – You should be bent over approximately 15° – Row towards your waist – Use a slow, controlled movement when extending your arms – Use full range of motion
Resistance bands give us the opportunity to train anywhere and this video will teach you how to dead lift in a place as inconvenient as… I dunno… your hotel room?…
Main Muscles: Hamstrings, Gluteus Maximus, Latissimus Dorsi
Key Points: – Keep your back straight, ass out and chest high – The band should be under the arches of your feet – Drive your feet through the floor and thrust your hips forward when exploding upwards – Use a slow, controlled movement on the descent – Use full range of motion
Here is a crafty concept using only a resistance band to help you get your shoulder workout in! Can also be done using a dumbbell or kettle bell.
Main Muscles: Anterior Deltoid, Trapezius Major, Hamstrings, Quadriceps
Key Points: – Keep your back straight & core tight – The band should be under the arch of your foot and looped around your palm – Bend your knees and throw your whole body into the movement when driving upwards – Press overhead until your elbow locks out – Use full range of motion and train both sides evenly
