Banded Deadlifts are a great way to help you progress with the end range of motion at the top of a deadlift. Essentially, bands can be used as a tool with many compound lifts to make the exercise harder to do, developing more strength and muscle. In this video, Danny shares how to use bands with a traditional barbell or hex bar to help your deadlift and how you can use this tool to progress your overall training.
What's Their Purpose?
- Manipulating the strength curve
- Harder at the bottom and easier at the top/vice versa
- Ex. Bench press is hardest at the bottom and easier at the lockout
- With a band, the end range of motion(lockout) becomes more difficult
- Equalizing the strength curve
Ways To Use Bands:
- Single band deadlift
- 2 bands bench press
- 2 bands barbell reverse banded squat
Setup: (2:40)
- Attach band as close to collar as possible on both sides
- Roll barbell over so band is now below the bar
- Assume traditional deadlift stance standing over the band
Exercise
- Focus on intention with banded deadlifts
- At the bottom
- Least amount of tension
- As you lift the barbell towards end range of motion
- Tension on the bands will increase
Applications
- General Fitness Goals
- Start with understanding the skill and technique of movement
- Powerlifters
- Can help progress through different parts of each lift
- Ex. Sticking the lockout of a deadlift
- Athletes
- Build explosive power from the lift off
- Bodybuilders
- Isolation work using cables instead of dumbbells
- More consistent load throughout whole range of motion
