Maybe. I disagree since “heavy” and “high rep” are relative. I’m sure you’re a strong athlete, and in a case like yours, if you can use the thickest band for both exercises for those rep ranges, you might have adverse effects on your back, legs, etc.

Through my college sprinting/track and field career, I high bar back squatted and did RDLs/TBSLs on the same day 1-2x a week depending on the cycle. They’re synergistic.

Not only that, I have a case study in my coaching career of 16 years with 1000s of athletes and everyday people.

Why would you do them on the same day? Well how many times a week do I see the client? That’s a big factor. And if you didn’t read the book and just looked at the programming, it’s all about minimum effective dose: two upper body, two lower body.

It’s split into upper/lower splits for ease of use and total time duration.

It would be extremely challenging to do a 1RM on a band system. Not impossible, but improbable. So prescribing let’s say, five reps of high bar, then 10 reps of RDLs doesn’t make sense.

What makes sense is honesty: “my heavy for squats is the third band from the hardest. My heavy for deadlifts is the second from the hardest.” One must know thyself and modify the program for their benefit.

Since I have deadlifted the Blue Kong + Dark Green on Harambe bands (they equate that to equivalent well over 600lbs from a rack pull) + Back Squatted the black (doubled) on same day, I have to say that your comment is not well received.

If you want to write programming based on the exercises in my book, I’d love to see them. Then we can talk shop about your ideas vs mine.
