  Measuring band strength???

 Measuring band strength???


I can't find any real way to measure band strength on the bar at different points in the lift. I would assume that at some point someone measured it with varying setups. Like for instance today I box squatted 315 with an iron woody small band looped once around the bottle of the rack. I just want to know what that equates to at the bottom and the top.

Actually sitting here I just figured out a way to find out if anyone was wondering and hadn't been able to figure it out. I can just measure it by attaching a dumbell at my starting height and the lowest point I get to and the rest of the range will of course be in between. I really need to do more thinkin before I start posting lol.

Bands are meant to be hung singe choked from a 7ft rack for rev bands with exeption to the mini's.

Otherwise they are choked together, run under the bench and attached to each side of the bar. WSBB has a banch that is specifically set up for band work and has a difernt attachment method.

BAnd tension is measured at the bottome in rev bands and at the top with standrd band work. I have measured rev bands with a scale and a set of boards. (I think 5) with a scale on top and found the bands to be withinin a ten pound margin of their advertised band tension.

Minis are meant to be double choked around a pin set so that at lockout they are not holding aything. Ideally with any rev band setup they should go slack at the very top.

For swuats I run them around the bottom then through themselves and around the clip. For benching I have been running them through themselves twice. I guess that is what you mean by singe choked?? I still can't really figure out a way to use them for deadlifts without buying the platform as there is no tension at the lowest position.
