Most bands come form the same place in China however, check the length. You might end up buying a colour band you think is a certain resistance/thickness but turns out to be half the length. Find a reputable brand like Rogue Fitness and take it from there.
@@Fit4Racing I think it’s more a lack of pulling strength overhead in general more than grip. Grip seems to be doing well from your program I just like to boost it if I can as well please ✌️
@@tomnutting3836 you can add in negative pull-ups once a week in addition to the regular program. 5 sets of 3-5 reps. Jump to a hang then let yourself down slowly for 5 seconds each rep. That’ll build you up well.
@@Fit4Racing 1:12 Can you please remind the lad, that your chest does not dip forward in a squat and your neck does not move like a swan in the upward move and hes stood too far away from the rack which contributes to the poor form. 6:05 deadlifts are not started by dipping at the mid torso. The torso should be rigid and the lift pushed with the shoulders back. The weights are clearly too much for this guy. Why not strip back the bars to within his ability and show excellent form and movement. Or hire me and i will come and show you.
Thanks for your concerns Paul however, I feel they are unjustified and probably an attempt to direct some attention to yourself and the services you provide. I'll fully back the form on both the squat and deadlift and I'll tell you why: The squat - It's good that you mentioned standing away from the rack, this is intentional and changes the position somewhat into more of a "pushing away" from the rig with more emphasis on the posterior chain, and being a safe distance from the J-cups. That said, Pat has exceptional hip mobility and squat form, the weight is very much within his capability and less than 50% of his max (including bands). As you can see, his lower back is aligned throughout the movement and his depth excellent, so very safe and effective. Neck position has little impact on the alignment of the spine below and in some cases, especially at speed when upper back tension is more necessary, an upward tilt can help, take a look at high level olympic weightlifters and tell me I'm wrong. The deadlift - Although Pat picked his first rep up with poor form, I'll admit that, the weight including the bar is around 60kg, which is roughly 25% of his 3 rep max, so reasonably safe for him, so to say "the weight is clearly too much" is pretty offensive and probably said to elicit a response (so well done Paul). So for anyone who would like to take Paul up on his offer of being hired, please do so on the understanding you'll likely be lifting a PVC pipe and no weight for 3 years in the constant belief your form is incorrect.
These are great
If you could do a kettlebell specific video that would be terrific
Let's see what we can do over the next couple of weeks.
Good tips and information as ever with a hint of humour as well...👍🤟👍
Thanks!
Thanks for the good work!
My pleasure!

Thanks F4R for your content!!!!
More to come!
Nice! I am currently enjoying your Fit4Racing program. What bands do you recommend I buy?

@@Fit4Racing Sounds good, thank you
Any other good grip tips and help building more chin ups please lads?
Is it your grip that you struggle with for pull-ups?

@@Fit4Racing sounds like a plan thanks!
Best " true" strength move without a gym? Pistol?
Pistols are great. Without a gym unilateral is the only way to get the load needed to make real strength gains.
His form on those Squats is just awful .....why his he swan necking " Have a word"
The Dead lifts bending at the hip ....someones gonna get hurt
Sorry Paul, could you elaborate on your comment.
