What a freaking dip! Bands and chains give added resistance through the range of motion. A medium band can add 25 pounds at the bottom of the movement and up to 80 at the top, steadily going up or down as you move the weight. Go read up about it chump before you open those dick skinners again.
And how much do you bench wise guy??? Mr. edumicated
BTW, did you even READ what I wrote? I said that it adds resistence you knucklehead. You are right in that it will increase resistence as you press the weight higher, but what's the point?? To make you triceps stronger??? Is this for a powerlifting contest??? Cause I thought this was a "GetBIG" board
It does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR YOUR CHEST AT THE TOP OF THE MOTION!!!!!
Go ahead and add the rubber bands if you want. I thought the person who started this thread was actually looking for information NOT just stating something he already knows everything about. I guess I should have asked him what his goal was. If he would have said to increase my bench with a rubberband, i would have told him to go do some weighted dips instead!
