Resistance Bands

Resistance bands are a versatile tool in strength training that implement a technique called dynamic variable resistance. This method involves increasing resistance as the muscle extends through its range, such as lifting weight. Resistance bands, or chains, enhance resistance progressively during an exercise. For example, as you lift a bar with bands attached, the resistance increases because the bands stretch and create more tension. This allows for more focused training throughout different parts of a motion, especially targeting and challenging the stronger and weaker areas effectively. This approach has been shown to be beneficial in exercises like deadlifts, squats, and bench presses 1.
