Bicep curls on the bandbox -with a bar & zero issues with band wander 👌🏼

Also have to admit my head couldn’t understand how this wouldn’t be a doubled band - the feel of it confirmed it isn’t - 2-0 to Pascal 😂😂🤷‍♂️

There’s def a difference between the free spinning stainless steel rollers on this & the dampened sleeves on Cyberplate - odd thing is each time I use them i get to thinking that’s what I prefer - def think that the sealed stainless steel will be less likely to be affected by the dust & dog hair a home gym can generate long term - thoughts ?

Bandbox v Cyberplate - which is your favourite & why ?

Leg day - 3 sets of each plus hip extensions on the flywheel 🎉🎉

Before the trolling or slack insults start -

That amount of starting slack is about right for me.
It helps me get the movement started cleanly, then the band loads quickly enough to give strong, consistent working tension through the rep.
Feels like a good balance between easy enough initiation and proper resistance - if you’ve a problem with that -the problem is yours 🤷‍♂️

Even though I had a twist in the band, that’s the nicest feeling Bar,band & plate Chest press I’ve ever done - can’t wait for my Q deck stainless steel roller to see how the two compare 👌🏼

One I really wouldn’t want to be without is the Basepad - better ground connection = better movement in my book 👊🏻

Supersets with Axis70 bar & bandbox for Zercher squats
HeavyDutyBar Qlaw handles, band & footplate for the rest
Kynett flywheel for the hamstring slider curls

Before you say it starting tension on split squats felt fine, I know there’s slack at the start, but a second into the move & it’s gone - good enough for me 👊🏼

Theo’s NOT impressed with my band choice 🥴😂

Quirky setup I know, but it works & I love trying to be creative with my workouts 😂💪🏼

Chest press using HeavyDutyBar Po bar, baseplate & Monster 38” bands - ground connection improved with Vector athletics Basepad

Zercher squat with Bandbox - the original & most versatile roller based plate & the Axis 70 Bar - I so want to like it more than i do - but for this move it’s the bomb
