i did do the plank row this morning...with a really light pair of dumbbells...and the 3 point plank...tough shit. hardest thing on the row was keeping the torso from twisting...took a lot of grunting.


and thanks fellas.

Cool pity. Maybe when your can afford pick up some bands and you can make a lot of use of them for core work and pallof.

You can also rig a pretty effective setup with a 2 dollar nylon braided dog leash. You just loop a weight at one end and hang it over a racked barbell about chest high (with weights on the barbell). Then you just need a way to hold onto the other end of the line and that provides the stress. You can be hardcore and just hold onto the leash itself (or whatever piece of rope). That will make for a pretty good basic pallof setup. The only problem is that the line will tend to slip around from side to side a bit on the barbell. But it works. Course I know you can mcguyver anything

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.

any good sites for buying bands? my problem is finding something to attach it to, that's heavy enough that i won't pull over... i could load my squat/mp "rack" with a bar and lots of weight...and attach it to that...hmmm....

i was just thinking a pulley would be real tits about now

i got myself some bands called bodylastics pity, they are really really good the tension you can make with them is massive and they come with some really useful attachments for curls or straps to go round your wrists or ankles and also a door anchor so you can have the bands secured to a door frame from either the bottom, top or even the side. they are a great product i use them if i am going to be going away and will have no access to a gym and they really helped me recover after my op last year. just a thought google bodylastics and see what you think. great work on your workouts mate keep it up

Well for a home pulley it costs a lot to get something past the standard high-low pulley. But that in itelf is a very highly useful thing to have. I use mine a LOT. It's just a simple bodysolid unit with high/low pulley and takes standard or olympic weight plates rather than a stack (I'd reccomend not going with a stack). It wasn't much money at all and it really holds together well.

Attaching the bands shouldn't be any real problem. Yes, the rack. Some weights on the floor. Or you use your own body like your feet or your back (for instance band pushups you just put the band around your back). They are not going to pull things over that easily.

I like the iron woody bands and I get mine from http://liftinglarge.com which is a little bit better price than any other place I've found and the shipping is very quick. The other brand that is widely used is the JumpStretch brand (JS). I've never used them but I chose against them because the weight ranges don't overlap like the IW bands. These bands are not just a straight band but they come in a loop. Basically a giant rubber band. So that you can use them for powerlfting type things and for basic band things. The continuous loop makes them very easy to use.

I'm sure the bodylastic bands are very useful as well but they seem like they would be difficult to use for anything other than just band resistance training. Again, though, they look cool.

Maybe other people will check in with what they have used/experienced. Really, your imagination is the only limit to them.

i would agree with eric they are slightly more difficult to use in this respect however with just playing around with them and trying out different things theres a lot you can use them for.

however i would also have to agree with erics recommendation of the iron woody bands as well they are awesome and in fact i used them to help me with my chin ups to get to the point where i could start to do them with my own body weight. good choice man
