Workout of the week: WOODY BAND APPRECIATION!!

Liam "TAKU" Bauer • May 21, 2020

By TAKU

Since many of us are still working out at home we are offering another fun and challenging workout. We call this “WOODY BAND Appreciation” because Woody Bands are an easy and effective training tool. They’re very inexpensive, you can pack them anywhere and they work for everyone. If you’ve never worked with Woody bands before, give them a try.

This workout is very basic, but depending on the resistance and intensity you use, it can be very challenging. Go through all the exercises once, then repeat if you feel up to the challenge.

The resistance for these exercises is determined by the size of the band you use. Start light and move up accordingly.

Intensity may be increased in a number of ways: 1.) Using heavier resistance 2.) Limiting rest time between sets 3.) Increasing the distance the bands are stretched 4.) Adding other AOT variables such as static holds, strong-range partials, negatives, or J-Reps. NOTE: Limiting rest time includes the time between switching sides, if applicable, as well as switching exercises. WORKOUT

TAKU's NOTE: At T.N.T., All rep goals are target ranges. Strive to reach fatigue as efficiently as possible. We’ve always been a big fan of Woody bands. We’ve been using them for years and discovered a few things…they’re incredibly durable, guaranteed for a year and come in a variety of sizes to accommodate ANY level of strength. Try adding Band Grips for a more comfortable grip on the Woody Bands. Iron Woody has a lot of other great gear so check them out and see what you find.
