No, not right away, the whole point of it is to work on speed off floor and lockout as the weight kicks in, I think you would be better working with chains until your totally happy with form, that way your working the same concept but speed is not an issue. This way you strengthen your weak point and weaker muscles but don't run the risk of re injury trying to compromise form for speed. Once you have mastered the chain then yeah bands are awesome I am switching back to conventional bands after this 3 week cycle and they are evil I have about 40 maybe 50k on Duncan on conventional dealift and he kicks my ass at it. Simply because his back is more conditioned to volume and he has better speed in his pulls Try chains Neil then work up to revers band then conventional bands and you should have one solid lower back | ||
