Amazing!!! I was so sore from Leg day because of these squats these bands are perfect for this I highly recommend Clench for legs and more. I love mine

OK you've finally sold me! Ordered a bundle! I'm really excited to try these for squats. I have abysmal shoulder mobility and barbell back squats have been more or less out of the picture for me - I've had some good experiences with front squats and recently a safety squat bar. But I'm really looking to try new things and focus way more on my legs than I ever have - not to mention having this to take with me as I start traveling again will be invaluable!

yeah, was going to say... I've gone to using a safety squat bar almost exclusively, party due to my shoulder issues.
@sydneybird11611 ай бұрын
@@Thraydin Me too. The safety squat bar is great. It allows you to adjust the bar height on your back during the squat just by adjusting how much you pull on the handles. You can even let go of the bar altogether and squat hands-free. Although we should strive for better shoulder mobility, it should not be at the sacrifice of a heavier squat.

You guys forgot a super important benefit with using thick bands to make your legs stronger (IMHO). No SPINAL LOADING. That’s huge. Try that with a bar on your back.
@ClenchFitness3 жыл бұрын
Hey Jesse. Totally agree with you for less spinal loading on the front squats. There is still a bit of spinal loading on the standing X-band version, but it is significantly reduced on the hack squat foam roller variation.

@@ClenchFitness is it possible to do the foam roller hack squats but using the clench foot plate? im scared to do band squats without the plate because i dont want to smack my nuts with the band
@sydneybird11611 ай бұрын
@@outtrigger OMG, just be very careful about stepping off the plate while the band is still stretched. Also, I have had the plate fly out from under my feet by not being careful about foot placement above the band going underneath the plate. Very scary. I have yet to get comfortable with the plate for heavy squats and deadlifts. Doing the hack squat with a plate would be very dangerous as you would not be able to adjust your foot placement and leaning back you may not have the right balance on the plate to hold it down.

Front squat. Finish off by sranding tall, knees towards banks and use the elbows to move the clasped hands from top chest to top head. Nice
@snjames13 жыл бұрын
Heavy X-Band squat... fantastic! I've been using three stacked orange bands over my shoulders and behind my neck - but it was killing my upper back. Just tried this and I can do two stacked orange bands on each leg without all the stress on the back (although wrestling into place under my foot is a bit of a challenge)
@jonathanpellegrin70292 жыл бұрын
Honestly that sounds like it would be way too awkward and too much stress on the upper back with risk of one of the bands popping you in the balls. You should just hold a KB goblet style or even two Kettlebells in the front rack position while you do this. That just doesn’t sound efficient at all and probably not a good contraction.

no resistance in the bottom
@sydneybird11611 ай бұрын
That can be good or bad, depending on your training. There is probably an argument that beginners can get lower with bands for a given resistance but the counter argument is that using weights you should train with a weight were you can still get low and work your way up. You are going to need that low to the ground squat/deadlift strength at some point to pick up a heavy box from the floor. I see bands as accessories to barbells like one would use chains hung over the bar. Or, when traveling when weights are not available.
