i am more than willing to help you out. you can read as much as you can, but it always helps to have pics of what a set up looks like. I would always use the bands on your DE work, esp. the box squats. every once in a while, dont use them on DE bench work, b/c they will wreak havoc on your shoulders.

Very good feedback here. If you need an 'unconventional' DL band setup...

It can be a bit tricky depending upon your logistics and whether you have a platform (such as a jumpstretch platform). The setup at our gym ties the bands off at the bottom of the front of the squat rack with the bands then lying out into the mat area outside the rack. Pull a flat bench over (and load some plates onto it so it doesn't move) and tie the other end of the bands off to the legs of the bench horizontally (wide). This leaves the bands taunt a few inches above the floor and draped over your barbell. Add weight, pick it up and voila - you're pulling against bands!

Every once in a while with the bands as mentioned or they can really tax your CNS. Hope your bands arrive soon!

Hope your bands arrive soon!

Got 'em today actually - already did some pull-throughs using a support beam in the basement .

The only thing that sucks is I'm gonna have to wait a bit to use 'em - I'm beat to hell and need to take it easy for the rest of this week. First 'real' use will be next friday for DE box squats.

Not too much - just deloading after pushing a bit too hard, and anxiously awaiting my next WSB run
