![]() ![]() JC Santana shared a study he had been involved in with me (along with Stuart McGill!), titled: Trunk and shoulder response comparing one repetition maximum bench and standing cable press. ![]() That’s because a movement like the standing cable press requires FAR more trunk activation as compared with the bench press. Is this really so different from training with weights? You could even 3D print the specific tool you’ll be using when you compete! 3 Standing Up Strength You can even use different attachments in order to change what you’re gripping onto while training! Want to strengthen your grip? Then try holding onto a piece of rope during your curls. Likewise, a golfer can practice their golf swing, and a baseball player can mimic swinging a bat! This is far more effective than shadow boxing while holding weights, because the resistance is along the correct plane of motion.

You can attach bands above you, below you, behind you, in front of you, or diagonally to one side. Seeing as you can change the angle of resistance when performing movements, resistance bands also allow you to more closely mimic a range of real movements. ![]() This benefit of resistance band training follows directly from the last one. They don’t only develop strength picking things up. This is another possible explanation for the legendary “farmer strength.” Farmers, physical laborers, and Dads are seemingly super-strong because they practice pushing, pulling, and twisting. Life doesn’t happen in a single plane of motion, so why train that way? This is far from the only way in which we express strength: we also push objects, pull them, wrestle, and more. In short, training with weights means you practice picking things up off the ground. ![]()
