Good Article by Dave Tate about using Jump Stretch Bands

[P-funk]

But not for squatting or benching or deadlift. For stretching/mobility. He calls it band traction.

Not the first time I have really seen it. I saw Mike Bolye do similiar things but he calls it "3D stretching" because you are moving the joint through many different positions. Idea being that the fascia of the muscle doesn't run just in a parallel line but when we do most static stretching, it is always the same way (ie the same plane of motion or the same general degree of ROM). So, this would take you out of that comfortable ROM that you always stretch in and allow you to increase your overal flexibility. He did it with the lats when I saw him do it.

Anyway, the reasoning here is a little different, but the idea is the same. Pretty good article with video(s)"

Something like that with a belt and suspenders ancored to the floor would be something I'd like to take the strain off of my back doing squats.

Nice article. I was considering buying them until i saw the price for all 3. It's 30 bucks for a strong band and 18 bucks for a light band. There is one band at my gym but it's an average one. I'll see what i can do with it.

go to ironwoody.com

they sell lots of powerlifting equiptment. they have their own bands and band packages and they are a lot cheaper. I bought mine from there and they are totally fine.

I actually tried some of that the other day using resistance tubes at the gym for my shoulders. I don't really know that it makes much of a difference, but if I do it regularly perhaps I will notice a difference.
