Bands Around Knees Is Useless? New Study Breakdown
LiftingLindsay's More Than FitnessAbout this episode
Lindsay discusses the contention surrounding banding exercises, particularly squats, hip thrusts, and glute bridges. She explains that while bands can sometimes be used as a learning tool for beginners, regular use can lead to decreased performance and diminished muscle growth. Lindsay debunks the popular belief that banding exercises contribute significantly to glute development and suggests that genetics, well-rounded exercise routines and quality movements are the actual causes of good muscle development. She disagrees with the trend where bands are used throughout the entire workout routine, which is often disseminated on social media. Lindsay concludes by reminding viewers that her optimized training programs do not include banding exercises which have been proven by studies and expert opinions to hinder workout performance and muscle growth.
