Late to the hammy band convo, but how do y'all measure/fit for one?

And, if I'm currently losing weight am I better off waiting until that's done? I'd hate to have one for a month and then it's too loose...

Id wait. If you don't have an injury then it's not a necessity so id rather get it sized right. Same thing as forearm cuffs, just for hips!

Have a good rest man.
 
Way to battle through that session after being up for over a day. Thats brutal man. Get some sleep.
 
Thank fellas I'm awake now after a 4 hr nap. It a good thing yesterday officially marked the end of my caffeine free workouts, 3 months off I'm happy with that

Feel pretty good actually eyes still feel heavy thou

So far I love my destroyer wraps that are comfortable and tight if they hold up they will have been well worth them money I paid

Had a little 5'1" 130# girl handing off to me today she did a great job
 
rows more then me cause obviously I didn't bench 235 lol

Seriously thou she has massive lats and this is only here 2nd week with us and her form is coming along great. Going to be a strong bencher I think

Thanks, sean. Looks like he's saying he (and probably others) didn't even make weight either. That is sad.

I know! It's a total three ring shyt show! The whole thing. This is a yearly occurrence. Some of the members will recall the Sparkle Smackdown that happened a little less than two years ago. Cube Boss or Cube Kingpin? Reps x sets, or sets x reps?

Multiply 181 with a world record squat, 3 whites, cut about 5" high

High raw squats (Lilliebridge's)

Lack of pause with bench

A lot of the big names on social media are talkin crap

Dude you forgot that people are saying Eric didn't even weigh in!
 
Some Dave Hoff 'record' stuff right there. Hopefully we'll see these guys hit these lifts soon for real - they owe it to themselves at the least, if not the sport.

Notes
Great day
Sqauts were very explosive today felt great depth was great a few set I paused extra long on the last rep cause I was working with someone and want to show off a bit lol wanted to do more on last set but he told me he wasn't going to save me

Deadlift
More hook grip that **** hurts gave up early on it. For some reason grip seemed weak I think it was just my approach to it cause on the Last set I got fired up and felt fine then

Front squat
Didn't feel like doing these but the other guys did so did it anyway

Big super set I was breathing heavy after that

Heavy ass calf work there has been many times my big calfs have saved me in a squat got to keep them up

Pump work then abs planks are getting stronger

That's it thanks for reading

Nice band setup! I need to use that for some of the messed up racks I squat out of.
 
I want to do that at the local LA Fitness and see what kind of funny looks i get from some of those people. Would be pretty funny i bet.
 
I get a bunch of looks when I get the bands out mostly because they don't get the purpose and the can't sqaut **** lol

I don't know if I could squat much with the greens. I get the same looks though.

Nice work man. I chickened out of hook grip the other day.

More than you can with the blues and less than you can with the purples! It's fun and it's hard and that's all that matters.
 
Killer session you dug

Hey, are greens the same as the EFTS blacks? Did they switch colors? Just trying to get an idea in tension as I used then recently.

Okay I used then recently and they seemed a lot like black bands I bought from then a couple years ago. I couldn't tell if stronger. I'll say they did make speed pulls no fun lol

I use them for super d mobility, and they're pretty tough.
 
Were I doing it with the deadlift platform pins cause I think we measured ours at 100 combined at the top as well with a luggage scale

It was an actually platform...hmm I didn't think about that. I glanced at a chart and guessed as I didn't have any actually measurements.

You just made me feel better about myself lol

Notes
Felt great today still trying to build my shoulders up

Bench press
Started a little slow but got a lot better by 3rd set. finally I feel my shoulders blades making a nice stable platform. Foot position is still up in the air a bit as to where the best place is

Rest is my usual stuff it would appear that these are getting stronger

Sessions lasted 2hr 45mins

That's it thanks for reading
Dmax
 
3 hour session. wow
 
So just in the past few weeks I haven't noticed a big difference in shoulder size but I have notice quite a bit of different in my chest since starting flys and what not. Going to continue to to attack these lagging parts

FWIW to you the SHORT green Monster Minis from EFS are worth about 80-95lbs on most people's pull height, based on Elite's chart. I use them more than any other for pulling if I do use bands.

Shoulders are a small muscle group. You keep punishing them and one day you'll look in the mirror and be like " Damn when did this happen?!"
