Vid works fine here.

it looked like it went up pretty easy, how much do the bands dd at the top of the lift?

not sure what the bands add for tension at the top of the lift. yes, lift was easy. but this is DE work, and I am concentrating on speed, and not the amount of weight

Nice setup. I wish I had that platform in my gym. I just ordered some bands to try out but will have to use the stand on them with my feet method.

Can I get some help on another link for the pic? There's just something about Illuminati's pics that sets off our corporate Porn sensors....

I was wondering how one might use bands on a DL. I think bands are the kewlest invention for lifting on the planet!

 

[calder]

cool man. I did some reverse band deads today. have you tried those? they help overcome your sticking point if its not the floor.

you can build your own platform with a piece of 1/2" plywood, and 2 2x4's. Cut the plywood 3ftx4ft. cut the 2x4's at 6ft. run the 2x4's under the plywood, on the 4ft side. this will leave you with 1ft of 2x4 on either side of the plywood to attach the bands to. this set up also gives you a 2" platform to deadlift off

Wouldn't you want to run a piece of 2x4 under the middle of the plywood too? Otherwise, you've got just over 2 foot of 1/2" plywood supporting yourself and the weight you're lifting?

you would be amazed at how strong plywood is. it wouldn't be necessary to run one in the middle, but you could if you want to.

I'm amazed
