Legit or scam?
>>77234102legit.
>>77234102scam.
dunno.
>>77234102I use them to unfuck my chronically recurring IT band syndrome because my gym doesn't have a hip abduction machine. Anecdotally speaking they're pretty okay.
>>77234102It depends on the exercise. For curls theyre not good. Easiest part of the exercise, when your arm is fully straight, is also the lightest resistance on the band. At the hardest part of the curl, when your arm is "curled" you have the most resistance on the band. That makes for a bad power curve. Ideally you'd want less resistance at the hardest part of the curl and most resistance at the easiest.
>>77234155You're right. Fortunately, I would mostly use them as a substitute for the lat pull-down (I don't have space for a lat machine, let alone a proper pull-up bar).
legit but i only use them for warm ups now
>>77234155>For curls theyre not good. Easiest part of the exercise, when your arm is fully straightrly? were u always retarded?
>>77234102love it for heavy tricep pushdowns
>>77234102Has it’s uses. I find it really good for strengthening shoulder rotator cuffs and warming up the scapular plane
>>77234102If you have nothing else, it's fine. Or if you need it for a hyperspecific exercise. The main problem is the resistance curve.
>>77234424>never do curls because people get injured doing them sometimesPreacher curls are safe. They're the "risky" variation of a very safe exercise. Bicep tendon tears are almost always either rooted in continuing to workout after an already present overuse injury or training at too high a weight as if curls are a powerlifting exercise rather than a bodybuilding one.
>>77234102they're kind of fokky
>>77234493>>never do curls because people get injured doing them sometimesi didn't say that bitch bot gpt :D i will say people ALWAYS get injured curling to a degree - it's a bad motion >>77234493>Preacher curls are safe. no, and they be retarded and don't do shit to biceps for same reason - delt interferes with long head biceps tendon, here: >>77234424it got caught in flexed position under delt and kept there while biceps extended, and it run out of biceps to extend and it snapped cause delt never released tendon at shoulder > They're the "risky" variation of a very safe exercise. Bicep tendon tears are almost always either rooted in continuing to workout after an already present overuse injury or training at too high a weight as if curls are a powerlifting exercise rather than a bodybuilding one.no, no bitch bot gpt i just explained why it happened, it's the same reason NO CURLS DO BICEPS successfully - DELT INTERFERES WITH LONG HEAD, resulting instability robs biceps of time under tension and it doesn't grow, tendons get injured, forearm inflamed and over-strained and u've got nothing to show for it lie on the side with arm on blanket 90 degs shoulder flexion, pull rubber band with wrist/forearm with extended wrist through right angle in elbow back and forthpull rubber such that it tries to pronate forearm (pull tighter rubber on the side of open palm) in this exercise and add supination component to it delt is completely soft, humerus is kept stationary as if in a vice, forearm is mostly switched off never had this much biceps in my life xD but most importantly it doesn't fuck up anything which is main reason particular exercise is dogshit
>>77234466me too, except i press down on chest expander hanging off ceiling with falsgrip - humerus vertical, shoulder protracted and internally rotated (arm in a position as if it was on a sling or crossdrawing revolver), same like here: >>77234552>lie on the side with arm on blanket 90 degs shoulder flexion, pull rubber band with wrist/forearm with extended wrist through right angle in elbow back and forth>pull rubber such that it tries to pronate forearm (pull tighter rubber on the side of open palm) in this exercise and add supination component to it>delt is completely soft, humerus is kept stationary as if in a vice, forearm is mostly switched offjust move through 90 degs of elbow flexion except this one dings rear delt upholding humerus vertical if u want just rear delt pull with elbow rubber from the side in same position, moving back and forth through vertical humerus>as if i wanted to like knock someone's ribs with elbow that's beside me? yes exactly, only less elbow out, but it's the same motion regular "heavy triceps pushdowns" are heavy because you use entire body to do it and not very much triceps, and the triceps that's used is long head mostly because it extends shoulder as well or prevents shoulder flexion, and you're done doing your "heavy triceps pushdowns" and lateral head of triceps is laughing at you > oh, you're finished? never felt anything xD my version does all 3 heads of triceps evenly cause there's no shoulder flexing load on humerus
>>77234424>>For curls theyre not good. Easiest part of the exercise, when your arm is fully straight>rly?>were u always retarded?and yes bitch bot gpt - biceps is disadvantaged most in full elbow extension obviously - it breaks near full extension right ? also mine: >>77234552>>77234627> but you said it's delt chocking on long head tendon and biggest load on biceps bot
>>77234552I want you to know that people recognize you and how much of a schizo retard you are within the first couple sentences and then do not bother to read the remaining essay of schizobabble.
>>77234102Pretty much mandatory if you wanna keep your shoulder mobility
>>77234639>>77234552>lie on the side with arm on blanket 90 degs shoulder flexion, pull rubber band with wrist/forearm with extended wrist through right angle in elbow back and forth>pull rubber such that it tries to pronate forearm (pull tighter rubber on the side of open palm) in this exercise and add supination component to it>delt is completely soft, humerus is kept stationary as if in a vice, forearm is mostly switched off>>77234627>press down on chest expander hanging off ceiling with falsgrip - humerus vertical, shoulder protracted and internally rotated (arm in a position as if it was on a sling or crossdrawing revolver), same like here:>>77234627>just move through 90 degs of elbow flexion except this one dings rear delt upholding humerus vertical>if u want just rear delt pull with elbow rubber from the side in same position, moving back and forth through vertical humerus>>77234424delete this bot :D thas an order you little bitch :D
legit as fuck, and everyone should have some. You can have them anywhere... $20-30 for a pack... you could keep one at your gaming setup and hit reps in between gaming. You can anchor them to the cieling/wall and do any sort of 'cable' type exercise. Complete W.Resistance band shoulder workout : Lay resistance band across your chair, office, game station, whatever... so that you have equal lengths on each side.Grab either end, and you can do presses. I recently found that you want to go outward a bit vs straight up.You can do lateral raises.You can cross up in front of you and bring your elbows back to hit rear delts.^ I think I'm cooking. I do this at work.
