No gym, no weights, no problem. Resistance bands can get you the same net gains as weights without the stress on the joints and ligaments. The secret to using bands is making sure you are always "under tension" and you have no slack at any point in the movement/exercise. This program helps you build your strength, power and fatigue resistance which is your ability to go harder for longer durations! Time is spent between 2 band sessions per week for the first 8 weeks and then only 1 band session in weeks 9-12. One full rest day with NO activity per week and some weeks call for 2 rest days. You will be building an efficient aerobic engine as well as your sustained semi engine as the plan progresses up to your sub threshold sweet spot zone.
This plan is a great option for your winter or off season build or as preparation for your one single big event for the year. You may contact me for advice and recommendations on sizing of bands and what brands I endorse. Email me at : frank@beyondcategorycoaching.com for band info as well as scheduling FREE 30min consult
