BACK TRAINING WITH RESISTANCE BANDS

Image
Get more out of your workouts by increasing the amount of 'time under tension' in each set  with  resistance band back exercises . The longer your muscles are exposed to load (iron or rubber) the more intense your workout should be. For this reason we recommend holding your contraction longer and slowing down your rep  movement  tempo.  While using resistance bands, keep your shoulders back, spine aligned, knees bent, and your lower back supported. A back workout with bands is an effective way to supplmement or substitute a weightroom workout. Get creative and perform any 'pull' [back] exercise you can imagine with machines or free weights, only using our resistance bands. Keep your core tight and your shoulders relaxed during your resistance bands back workout to ensure all your lat muscles absorb the load. Let's go with some exercises: 1-  Pull to chest: 2- Pull over: 3-  Seated Rowing: More back exercises with resistance ...

TENNIS ELBOW REHAB

Rehab for a tennis elbow doesn't need to be terribly complex. Really what we are trying to do is find a way to load wrist extension. We are going to show you an easy option that we like more than other exercises. What we're going to do is just take a band, hold it and then walk out to get some tension on it. Then, take your opposite fist and put it right on the inner forearm next to the wrist. That's going to give you a little bit of support as we start working with this. Then from there, just pull back against the band by extending at the wrist. And you are going to feel a nice burn here throught the forearm as you do that.  If you need to make it a bit easier, just step in or get a lighter band. If you need to make it a little harder just step out or get a heavier band. Minimal changes here make a big difference making it very easy to progress and regress back as needed. But work throught it, gradually progress at it, and things will start feeling a bit better. ...
