A training system
The book 'Resistance Strong' shows exercises to
train the full body, and also covers principles of resistance training, recovery,
muscle anatomy and nutrition.
Standard 41" loop resistance bands provide resistance.
The Band Box and handles enhance leg and back training.
Add an EZ-curl bar and squat belt for additional exercises.
Add a chin-up bar and ab roller for even more fun.
Issues with resistance bands
For leg exercises, heavy loads are often limited by lateral forces on the feet, or
grip strength. Other systems use footplates and bars, but...
Resistance bands can be damaged by friction on edges.
Bands are not always the right length for optimal range of motion.
Bars constrain wrist position and can get in the way of natural movement.
With some bar designs, bands are complicated to change, or are limited in width.
Resistance training reinvented
The band box makes resistance band training more effective:
Four rollers redirect the band without friction and allow for
pull on the sides or in the center.
Shorten the band for a better resistance curve (block in the middle, or with a pin).
The rollers balance the load on the left and right side.
The knurled handles allow holding heavy loads and wide bands with minimal
wrist strain.
