Those long rubber band exercises

[fistfullofsteel]

the personal trainers at our gym has almost everybody training with those things. i really want to shoot them. one arm is going one way the other arm is going the other way, one leg is going forward the other leg is going backward. i don't know if they are training for the circus or if they are having a contest to see who can come up with the weirdest exercise. they don't believe in using a dumbell that weights more than 2.5 lbs.

I use them for RC exercises.

Huh? You are talking about those long stretchy bands like the women use in yoga/pilates classes?

Men are walking around using those up and down the halls or something?

LOL

They are great to use at home or to throw in a suitcase. I never touch them at the gym though!

I just think it is funny if the big guys are invading the aerobics room and stealing their bands and doing lunges with pink and blue bands around their ankles.

Oh yeah, i see the trainers at 24 using them on clients all the time now. It kinda looks fun.

Jump Stretch bands are great for PLing. I love them. Too much tension can really tear you up, though.

Every gym should have a full stock of bands and chains.

They lock them up all the time.

Agreed but my gym doesn't even have 100lb plates.

Oooh, those weird ones with handles? They don't have much tension, do they?

Jump Stretch bands really help speed, lockout and stability. Nothing like adding a few hundered pounds to the top: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kkAMRZO0rw

I've got a set of the fabled cables from Ironmind. You can add bands to the handles in increments of 15lbs. Mine go up to 90lbs resistance right now. Great way to get a little training in on the road.
