i think you are using way too much band tension. it seems like you have very little control over it. do you have mini bands? if so i would use those.

 

[cheesecake]

Really?

Yes, I have mini bands. Maybe I'll just use those from now on.

As always, critiques, comments, and all help is appreciated.

[Exodus]

those don't look like mini bands...more like light bands..judging by the thickness.

 

[Liftbig]

those are not mini-bands. those are light bands. the next step up from minis.

 

[cheesecake]

They are the light bands. And they are purple.

Liftbig, are you saying that I didn't have control on the way down, up, or both?

If you will throw a little straight weight on the bar it will be easier to control. Give it a try.

exactly...before i even watched the video i predicted it would be like that. using just the bar and bands is actually pretty damn hard to control

Interesting.

I'll try to put some weight on the bar next time and see if that helps.
