View Full Version : 1000lb Hanging MM Band Squat
Just some training footage of one of our pro lifters, Ricky Lahourcade. Suit on, straps down. Was getting closer to parallel as weight got heavier. Will take a full geared one in a few more weeks if the planets align.
Wide Stance Stiff-Legged Deads. These will straight kick your ass.

Those squats looked effortless. Just need to bring them down a bit and he's golden. Extremely impressive.

Overload the top end.
In a nutshell, force curve says we can lift more on the last 1/3 of the lift than in the bottom 1/3. We just want to make sure we are hitting that last 1/3 heavy also. Hanging bands allow this by taking off weight (90lbs in this case) at the bottom 1/3. This will also help the CNS and stabilizer muscles develop quicker.

BEAST MODE!!
Reverse band squats are going to be a staple in my future squat cycles. I just posted a vid of 935 reverse band, but he blew me out of the water and then some! Thanks for the motivation!!
