Why do some people seem to have trouble understanding that resistance band resistance is not much different than free weights? In this article I want to answer the question “How do Terrell Owens Bodylastics resistance bands compare to free weights?”

Two recent university studies have shown that resistance band training is not for the weak. The Universities of Wisconsin – La Crosse and Truman State University confirmed what many strength athletes already knew, that strength training with exercise bands works.

The study used 10 trained male and female subjects. Results from studies reported in the “Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research” revealed that when subjects squatted with the bands, they had 24% more leg power than when they squatted without the bands.

The same conclusion was shared by the Truman State study. Their study was conducted on a group of trained athletes who bench pressed twice a week for five weeks. One group did bench press with free weights and the other group used elastic bands. The group that used resistance band training increased their max bench press significantly more than the group that only used free weight training.

Terrell Owens Bodylastics Resistance Bands in the Gym

T0 bands help increase your strength by providing variable linear resistance. What that means is that when wearing Terrel Owens Bodylastics Bands, resistance continues to increase through range of motion on the positive part of the rep.

Let me give you an example using the bench press, as you press the resistance bands further away from your chest, the more resistance the bands provide. This forces your muscles to provide more force towards the top of the press by recruiting more muscle fibers. As a result, you become stronger because you are forced to try harder at your weakest point.

If you really want to give resistance band training a try, you can’t just use elastic bands. You need a serious outfit, like the ones Terrell Owens wears. So go ahead and get a great workout with Bodylastics.

In conclusion, using Terrel Owens Bodylastics resistance bands you can get the same, if not greater, benefits as exercising with free weights. That is not my opinion, it is a scientific fact!
