Militaries with bands

[Tarheel]

I've never heard of anyone doing them, so I decided to try them tonight.

I did them seated in a squat rack and man, totally different feel. I think I'm going to start using them on a regular basis, really emphasizes the triceps as you could probably guess.

I've been doing em standing for quite some time...

not continously but here and there

ever tried purples one each side in a squat rack standing? killer!

yep bands & chains

I didn't even think to try them standing. When you do those, do you anchor the bands on the ground, or about knee on the safety bars?

Sounds like a great option. However, be careful not to bust yourself in the chin on the way down!

Well yesterday I used a pair of minibands cinched around the safety pin on the lowest setting. adds an extra 30lbs up to for me I think. Bands start to kick in off the bottom.
Just adds that little bit extra up top to make it safe for explosion
I like to hold the lockout for 1 sec during the set, and then 3 secs on the last rep.

nice core workout too
