How to Setup Reverse Bands in a Low Ceiling Home Gym! ♻️

#HomeGym #Deadlift #ReverseBands

From the outside, the reverse band squat may look like a human-sized slingshot and appear to give a lifter too much assistance to be of any benefit, but it’s actually a great variation to your squat when done correctly.

What is the reverse band squat? The reverse band squat is used to assist the lifter with bands pulling on the bar upward. At the bottom of the squat, the bands are stretched to pull on the bar to make the load lighter. As the bar moves upward, the bands offer less assistance, making the load progressively heavier toward the top.

Similar to using chains or resistance bands (anchored below the bar to pull against the weight as it moves up), reverse bands dynamically change the total load on the lifter, allowing them to overload portions of the lift, target sticking points or weak spots, and train how much force they exert throughout the lift.
