That was seriously one of the most difficult workouts I've ever gone through. Those bands are tough, but I seriously like them. I may just keep them *wink wink*. Funny story, I tried to use the rack to get a choke on the bands. You guessed it, I almost flipped the rack over, I had to dump the weight (just the bar and bands nothing major, and then learned that a 100lb db as well as a 80lb db does the job just right on holding the weight down. This was a straight out of westside workout and it was great. I think I'll use these bands through the rest of my training cycle prior to the meet. I have no idea how much tension those add, but dang it felt like a small condo on my back! In a couple weeks I add my TRX into the cycle along with my briefs and then dial in my squat and deadlift. My elite total will fall!
