You want a quick answer? They’re the #1 implement for every physical application and here’s why.
First, they can be used by everyone from my 4 year old grandson to my 87 year old mother as well as elite strength athletes.
Secondly, they’re convenient. You can use them for prehab, strength, speed, endurance, fat burning, conditioning, flexibility, mobility, rehab, muscle hypertrophy, body sculpting warm up, cool down, active rest and restoration and eccentric and concentric development.
Third, the versatility of Pro Athletic Bands is that they can be used with all training implements such as barbells, dumb bells, kettle bells, weight machines, strongman implements or by themselves.
Fourth, you can travel with them and train anywhere and anytime. Our set of #0, #1, #2 and #3 resistance bands only weight 1.5 lbs. and you can roll them up and carry them in your fanny pack or computer case. You can’t find any other implement that portable!
Fifth, no other implement has the versatility of training every joint, muscle, tendon and ligament at every possible angle. Using Pro Athletic Bands allows you to train the ‘natural’ movement pattern of the human body without compromising possible injury.
Sixth reason is that with Pro Athletic Bands the body moves and functions along the natural strength curve. When exercising with resistance bands, the bands contract and extend. When any movement is performed the band is contracted when the joint and muscles are in their weakest position. By minimizing tension in this position, stress is taken off the joint angle. As the exercise movement is executed and the band is extended, much greater tension (force application) is being used. This extended position is where the body is strongest, allowing you to use greater force, therefore a higher percentage of muscle contraction, consequently, faster development.
Seventh application; it is the most versatile implement to train all planes of movement at one time. This type of training is the most effective for developing sport specific skills, sport specific strength and everyday fitness. Training all planes of motion at once teaches the mind, central nervous system and motor patterns to work in harmony as one unit; the way it was designed to, not in isolation.
Eighth reason is that they are cost effective. You will never find a training implement so effective for so little money.
