if you feel good, than go up in weight... im doing a 4 week wave cycle, where i'll either increase the band tension a tiny bit, or add on 5 lbs to my speed work each week....

oh yeah in the pics.. nice weight clips.. thats really ghetto.

Ghetto? lol... My squat racks are a pair of steel drums, my box is an old aerobics box with a set of Ford Van mags under neath it...lol...and my clips are ghetto...lol

I may up the weight...but I love that band tension. The tension seems to be helping with my tire flip.

Trying to figure out what all I can do in the gym to help my lifts.

lol, i never noticed your clips until now, so they are the knew ghetto item.

if the bands help with the tire flip, use more bands... next week through a pair of mini's on too or something.

yeah im afraid to tell those guys that i used to train bodybuilder stlye, and still do... they'd rip me apart!

I am actually giving consideration to doing some front squats with the bands...standing out in front of the bands where I have to also push fwd...it might also help with the tire flip.

Holy Hell Batman - high reps??

i would think front squats would help a great deal. It would be more event specific almost , wouldnt it? I've done front squats before, it is really easy to do them , but if you lean forward too much.... your screwed.... Good luck doin them.

Yeah..what can I say? I do the leg extensions with light weights because they simulate me doing a sled drag or intense harness pull. More just to get used to the intense burning in the quads. I usually do a set of 100 on the leg extensions.

I used to do glute ham raises...till the seat of my bench/legcurl broke while I was doing them

Don't have a place to do calves...so I just stand on a step and rep away.

This may sound funny...but I heard of someone doing the hack squat facing the machine...to simulate how you have to push against the tire in order to get it to come off the ground. It is very similar to the way that a lineman lines up on the field.

I thought that if I took my regular band set up and took 2 steps fwd...the bands would pull the bar backwards and into my front delts (throat) area keeping it so I had to constantly push fwd. I would have to lean fwd while doing these because the bands would be pushing me backwards...

I dunno...will just have to give it a whirl.

i've heard of people doing hack squats that way, they actually make a special machine made just for that, seems pretty interesting... Have you ever done front squats before. if not, try it w/o the bands first
