Is there a specific reason why you'd use the bands like this? Commonly used to strengthen and tone muscles, so to strengthen his lower leg muscles? To target that specific area.

Is there a specific reason why you'd use the bands like this? Just from the positioning, maybe it is used to increase ankle strength by forcing you to keep your feet of the floor but I have no clue. As in increasing force upwards on the feet so you have to exert more force downwards to not tip over. Edited July 11, 2021 by MotoMkali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a band like that provides extra resistance as you approach the top of the ROM so the movement is of roughly the same difficulty throughout. Nothing wrong with doing it without the band with a heavier KB but the band creates a lot of tension within the movement and forces your non-primary movers to really work hard to stabilise you or you shake like a sh***ing dog 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Buendia scores on debut I will do these every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I speak with a few Norwich fans on Twitter. They say basically expect a few red cards, because you don't get brilliance and passion without some reds along the way. I spose it's a lovely way of putting it. In response I told them that Smith maybe able to tone his temper down a little and finish off what the Canaries started, which is take him to a new level now. I said if that don't work then at least we have a few players like Mings that usually go grab a player when they're hotheaded and pull them away and cool them down. I am looking forward to seeing Buendia in action, seems like the passionate player that will up his game at Villa, hope my thinking is right that Smith will up Buendias game.

It increases resistance furthest away from the floor when it's usually (not always) an easier lift. They get used like this for deadlifts, squats and bench press frequently.
