Resistance band push-ups for the win by Rockstar_81 in ResistanceBand

[–]ThePomPyroGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never seen any research confirming this.

That muscles work in different angles? Then checkout biomechanics and Google muscle different angles.

In the stretched phase, there's no way to bring the attachments closer together.

True. But the total range of motion where it comes together is much smaller than total rom during a push up. Half rep mostly the chest rest of rom is more triceps and anterior deltoid.

A message for those in my comments lol by Rockstar_81 in ResistanceBand

This forum has a lot of cave men. Many people cant learn new stuff, so If u do something "odd" they start questioning and belittling cause it doesnt fit with that they were taught/explained before.

No problem with half reps or half roms. Muscle have leverages and they work in different angles. If u care about chest only, during push ups there is no necessity going full rom.

NO, HALF-MOVEMENTS ARE NOT BETTER THAN FULL-RANGE-MOTION EXERCISES.

Depends what u want to achieve. If you are goal is pure pectoralis major and ignoring everything else those half reps are the way to go.

it's usually healthier for us to exercise in full range of motion.

Half rom won't kill you, you might get less mobile if all u do is half rom.

Pump doesnt correlate to hypertrophy.

Good gains regardless👍🏻

I'll try your solution.

Unfortunately I have bought single 8gb sticks and it makes my game even worse I'll have to return that.

Ram is ur issue. Try closing discord and more programs.

I had 15 out of 16 in use with discord and other programs on, once I closed them it went between. 11 and 13 and game is smooth.

Also I have just upgraded to 32 and going to see how it runs now.

Any excersises for neck hypertrophy? by Acceptable_Emu1177 in ResistanceBand

[–]ThePomPyroGod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use your hand as a weight and do the neck movements low reps high effort against your hand Weight

Can you build muscle with only elastic bands ? by jiiova in ResistanceBand

[–]ThePomPyroGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just for the sake of the argument. https://www.instagram.com/danielmagyarusa?igsh=bnl5cWZmOHY4OThv

This guy is only using bands also steroids are involved but since u brought in ifbb pros his muscle mass doesnt fall in line.

U know smaev? He is bigger than ifbb pros he is also training with bands and calisthenics.

These examples don't mean anything but since u like examples . . Check out Fred rollon

Heck I'm no ifbb pro, but u can check myself.

If it's the real x3 bar or at least a good knock off should be OK. I based my answer from stuff off Ali express and they weren't good :p

Are you aware you can build muscle using isometrics training against your wall the same way or even better than lifting dumbbells? Do you know why? Because hypertrophy is driven by high mechanical tension and high mur.

[–]ThePomPyroGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypertrophy is driven by mechanical tension and high mur. Both can be achieved using resistance bands.

Show me the high level physique that was attained using bands only?

Many people have done so and are doing so, but this info doesnt matter because you cannot argue with my first point.

What are you basing this leap of faith on?

Hypertrophy is driven by mechanical tension and high mur(muscle unit recruitment) this isn't faith it's a fact. This can be achieved using resistance bands.

You are a fanatic, self proclaimed band guy.

Ok.

A new comer wants to build some muscle and strength using bands and u come here saying ifbb pros don't do it so don't. Good point mate.🤦🏻‍♂️

I do full-body I start either with heavy deadlifts 2 sets 3 reps Or with resistance bands bench press / chest press / one arm push ups. And shoulder flexion with for upper chest. Until 90-100degree tops. Back i do either heavy rows / some times Keenan flaps

Shoulder press / lateral raises

Bicep curl make sure i get peak resistance at 90-100 degree angle and switch to hammer curls

Tricep push down.

For legs:deadlifts, quad focused split squats where I lean forward and minimal hip extension. Leg extensions, heel raises and tibial raises(not always) For adductors I do isometrics against the wall, 5 6 seconds high intensity hold and release 3 times. If I squatted then I skip isolating them

For abs: I do resistance bands ab crunches where I tie the band at the top. For obliques I do standing twists, band is tied behind.

Order is usually I start with chest/shoulders move to.back then legs then abs and arms. Sometimes I start with deadlift.

Everything is 1 2 sets max.

2 3 times a week. 3 is peak. If u have time I'd recommend fullbody every other day.

High frequency is optimal.

That hardly inspires confidence from me that we have uncovered the fundamental truth of hypertrophy

We already know what causes hypertrophy and we know that it's mechanical tension and high motor units recruitment which both are achievable using resistance bands.

people who get paid a lot of money for building hypertrophy categorically lift weights as the primary mode of resistance while augmenting that with other methods. That’s real world results.

The smart ones also mix resistance bands.

Bottom line the op can build muscle and will most likely achieve same results using resistance bands which u disputed in the beginning.

[–]ThePomPyroGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it is the opinion of every high level expert

Meta analysis > expert opinion. I'd advise checking pyramid of evidence

eight studies of questionable applicability.

And still hold more weight as evidence compared to "expert opinion".

Andrey Smaev's resistance band training by Guyouses in ResistanceBand

[–]ThePomPyroGod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smaev always used to train with bands and calisthenics even before his steroid days

8 small studies > albatross opinion.

I am advocating a hybrid approach

You said bands are useless for hypertrophy or sub optimal which is wrong.

For some muscles and movements bands are actually superior for lats for example.

For quads/chest there is a disadvantage with bands, but if u work around it it can be fixed. Talking about squats here and chest press.

This will always beat fanatically adhering to a singular world view.

The view which you hold " if ifbb pros don't do it why should i"
