My chest muscles actually felt sore yesterday. I usually only feel it my tris and shoulders. I am feeling pretty good about this training methodology. We'll see how it goes over the next few weeks. I might try it for my squat later on, but I am having pretty good progress doing singles right now.

When I first started using bands...before i really knew how lol..I would say do a set of 135 for 3 with bands....take them off and do 185...the weight would like fly off my chest...then i'd do a set with say 155w bands....then do a set of 225...weight would still shoot off my chest... every tried anything like that? -------------- \"The eight laws of learning are explanation, demonstration, imitation, repetition, repetition, repetition, repetition, and repetition\" You have to learn to follow, before you can lead.

I just tried them today for some speed squats. I think going like them. I don't think that there is anything wrong with what you did. In fact, I think it is good that you are ok with experimenting. As to the effectiveness, I can't say.

Shawn, there's a full set of bands in our locker if you didn't already know. I'm considering getting the BNS system for bench press (gliding bands: http://www.strengthcats.com/BNSsquatbenchpressbands.htm) -------------- SQUAT MORE ~Jesse Marunde Mortal by birth.
