With a variety of these common looped pull-up bands, we see a dramatic distinction in how a lot resistance is utilized on the finish of the train versus the beginning. The Theraband is extra constant, making it really feel extra like a cable/pulley than a band.”

Meier provides particular recommendation on get essentially the most out of your bands, saying “I like to make use of the Theraband for higher again and shoulder work largely. Earlier than each coaching session, I wrap the band round a rack publish at about chest peak. I seize the band and carry out 30-40 reverse flies, tricep pushdowns, pec flies, and straight arm lat pulldowns. This provides me such an excellent pump and posture reset that carries me into the exercise pain-free.”
