Doug LarsonIn today’s episode of Barbell Shrugged we dig in to developing strength using bands, eccentrics, isometrics, and velocity. In this episode, we’ll discuss the benefits of each of these methods and how to incorporate them into your training routine.
First, let’s start with bands. Using resistance bands can be a great way to add variety to your workouts and challenge your muscles in new ways. Bands provide a form of accommodating resistance, meaning that the resistance increases as you approach the end of the movement. This makes them great for exercises such as squats, bench presses, and deadlifts. By adding bands, you can increase the resistance at the top of the movement, which can help to build strength and power.
Next up, let’s talk about eccentrics. Eccentric training involves focusing on the lowering portion of an exercise. This can be a very effective way to build strength and muscle mass. Eccentric training can be performed with bodyweight exercises or with weights. By emphasizing the eccentric portion of the movement, you can increase time under tension, which can lead to greater muscle damage and growth.
Moving on to isometrics. Isometric training involves holding a position without movement. This type of training can be done with bodyweight exercises or with weights. Isometric training can be a great way to build strength and increase stability. It’s also a good option for those who may have joint pain or injuries, as it doesn’t require a lot of movement.
Lastly, let’s discuss velocity. Velocity training involves performing exercises at a high speed. This can be a great way to build explosive power and increase athletic performance. Velocity training can be done with exercises such as plyometrics, sprints, and jumps.
Incorporating these methods into your training routine can help to keep your workouts interesting and challenging. It’s important to vary your training to avoid plateaus and to continue making progress. However, it’s also important to listen to your body and not overdo it. Always start with a weight or resistance that is appropriate for your fitness level and gradually increase as you get stronger.
