Deadlift W/Bands (pic & Vid.)

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.

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.
