What does /fit/ think of resistance bands?

>>40311154
ive always thought they were a meme but i still do some shoulder work with them just in case

>>40311154
good for therapy and aging poplation

>>40311154
god tier for warmup
good for injury rehab/prehab and >>>mobility
good for aiding in difficult movement, ie lever training
shit for strength training

Whenever I do any shoulder press movement with a barbell or dumbbell my left shoulder pops and feels uncomfortable, how can resistance bands help this?

The heaviest band is 33lbs plus you can clip on all the other bands at the same time and add up to 94lbs in total. Do you think high rep work would do anything in terms of hypertrophy?

Might be useful for accesory work, mobility work and stretching

i dont know whats wrong with you so take with a grain of salt

make sure you warm your shoulders up thoroughly before working them, theres a bunch of videos on youtube, but something along the lines of band overhead pulldowns band dislocates, band straight arm chest flies, etc.

after workouts i'd do a bunch of band work too. YTWL's, external/internal rotaions, dislocates, pull aparts, things of that nature

i mean, yea, anything with progressive overload will make you stronger/bigger. its just why do that when you can lift weights or even calisthenics.

I was more thinking to supplement the work I already do.

resistance bands are very portable

>>40311412
sure
>>40311418
if youre on vacation, or travel for work or whatever, sure why not. im just saying there's much better options to get big
>very portable
i'd even recommend gymnast rings before bands for portable strength work as long as you dont mind looking like that guy

I used the thicc rubber bands at my gym stretched onto some pins on the pullup rack to give me assistance on wide grip pullups. 1st week couldn't do any unassisted. I'm into week 3 and can do 4 unassisted on my first set and use the bands to finish out my reps/sets. My gym doesn't have an assisted pullup machine and my gym buddy isn't always there to grab my feet.
