I can't catch up to you if you keep getting stronger! Great job

 

[spatts]

Thanks for the karma!

Aw, c'mon Rojas! You're gonna pass me up soon enough.

i watched the video onn these; maybe im a moron, but does the load get lighter as you lock the weight out? i assume the bands assist in pulling the weight?

 

[spatts]

No, it gets heavier as you lock out the weight.

If you do it with really powerful bands, than there is basically no need for rack deadlifts right? And plus you get to practice the groove of the deadlift, unlike during the rack deadlift. Ahhhh how I wish i had home gym.

 

[spatts]

You may notice that on every sinlge rack pull thread lately, I say something like, "I don't like rack pulls, I do reverse band deads instead." So yeah, you can replace it with this. They let-off in about the same place.

awesome pr spatts!


i'm gonna add these in one day....rack pulls put me in a TOTALLY different groove than my dead and mess me up hardcore

How do you set up the bands for this move? Tx.

 

[spatts]

You set the pins up so they are shoulder height, then wrap the blue bands around the pin and through themselves. Then you have to put weight on the bar to get it to stay on the floor.

Looks like this: http://www.asylum-strength.com/videos/revbanddl.mpg

Congrats!!!....keep up the progress....

 

[Devastation]

good work spatts. keep working hard

 

[makedah]

Spatts - I remember this vid now. Thanks for posting.

Okay, I think I've got it. You set the pins at a certain height so that at lockout, the the bar leaves the band and thus the tension tugging it upward is released. Lighter at the floor, heavier at lock-out. Groovy.

Aw crud. I was looking forward to trying these, then I remembered that I have to pull OUTSIDE the rack because the 2 racks at my gym are too narrow. I'll use this if I want to mix it up and pull conventional.

Glad to hear Spatts, I tried for a 10lb pr Monday and failed on those, Liftbig had a huge pr, my lockout problem has come back-no-assatall

 

[spatts]

DBC, I'm training with you Friday. Did you know that?

 

[DBCooper]

Friday morning???? Did not know of that, If it's hot I'll be the one gasping for air, at least this week is a light week on Friday so I won't look completley out of shape lol.

 

[spatts]

liftbig and I are gong to breakfast at Waffle House at 7:00 this Friday. Then I'll watch you guys do DE squat. Then I'm going to get some 1 on 1 squat help. We will leave Westside that afternoon, drive to Nazareth, PA, and train with the Metal Militia Saturday. Then, Sat night, we're going to Mike Miller's to watch the Bench America. It's like a dream weekend! lol

 

[DBCooper]

Waffle house is gooood, sounds like a great weekend, I just saw Animalmass at gotfina say he was doing this also. I'll also be doing speed band pulls if you care to attempt them lol.

[DBCooper]

Which Waffle House did he tell you? There's a billion around here. I'll be in for coffee, I eat right after I train since I get off work at midnight the night before.

 

[spatts]

He said there was one at the I-70 and Woodson exit...

 

[DBCooper]

Damn why couldn't he pick a closer one lol, I think that's out by him.

 

[spatts]

No....the woodson rd exit on the west side of town...down the street from WS.

 

[DBCooper]

LMAO, I just realized it's WILSON, lol, I dated a waitress last weekend from there lol we saw T-3

 

[spatts]

OK, correction, the Waffle House at Wilson. Coffee on me.
