ADD BANDS FOR MORE GAINZ!
ADD BANDS FOR MORE GAINZ!
Burn out the legs with this simple addition of a band!
_
The Rear Foot Elevated Split Squat is a personal favorite to train legs.
_
This movement tends to be more forgiving on the low back, while I feel it more in my legs, hips & core.
_
Last week I watched the documentary on West Side Barbell. WOW. What a great docu. Those men & women are so powerful!
_
After watching I decided to add some band work into my training. This past week I used a band while preforming my RFESS! Yes, I added a band to this already challenging movement.
_
This is defiantly not for beginners, but adds so much more to the movement when you are able to perform it. I felt more work happening in my legs, hips & torso. It was a very powerful feeling. I also noticed the band pulling me to challenge my balance or “stability”.
_
Just when you think you have mastered the movement, you can switch up one small detail & crush your legs again. You don’t always have to increase the weight to make big gains in muscle mass & fat loss.
_
In the video I am doing 30s R/L with Double 24kg(so ~105.6lbs) w/ a black 1/4 inch band. I am not too sure how much that increases the weight?
_
Seriously, look at the activation happening in my shoulders and arms as I perform the RFESS!
_
Always make sure to breathe while you perform the movement. Breathe into the belly on the way down & forcefully exhale on the way up.

Are you looking for better ways to train fundamental movement patterns?
