great workout pullin,

ONe question....Saw your vid on sniffy .com with you doing band sldl with a wide stance.
I went a bit wider than shoulder width and did sldl's today, what is your take on those?

 

[pullinbig]

i pull sumo off the floor so most of my assistance work is done with a wide stance.

nice work pullin as always. I am sure you were hungry as hell after that workout.

Narrow stance is very nice...I actually found the sweet spot right now while squatin its about shoulder width and doestnt bother the old hamstring.

great job once again

PB, on your sumo pull vid, how do you calculate the band's resistance? do you add that to your numbers? if so, how?? thanks

and still good numbers..something to envy about

the only way to truly calculate the bands resistance is to use a weighing scale. too many variables to figure. i dont worry too much about the weight moved as i know how much is on the bar and how many bands i use or which one. thats why i list my workout w/bands as 235# + green bands(#4 bands) dbld. we have a chart i got off the web but its not truly accurate cause the bands loose some strength over time and temp affects them as well. plus range of motion
