wow how much resistance did those #2 bands add?

They're supposed to be 50 lbs single looped.

I not only double loop them but they're also tight and the tension is in with the bar on the ground itself.

Approximately, the load at the top is anywhere from 110-140ish lbs at the top per band. So you factor in 2 bands and you almost have 300 lbs more at the top.

Actually, I use the 140 and 120 lbs dumbbells to hold the bands down because if I use 100 and 75 like I tried to, both go totally off the floor. So I am not quite sure what exactly the band tension is, but it is safe to say that it is a lot lol...

After the band work when I pulled 345 I swear it felt so easy...then 415 was like floating lol....I love that "floating" effect. BUUUTTT....475 was difficult lol...and it was the first time I've used a left over right under grip combo on 475. I always stop that alternate grip @ 465 but something told me to stop being a pussy yesterday.

If you've seen Fired Up...I believe the phrase is: You gotta risk it for the biscuit!
