BANDS & CHAINS: Accomodative Resistance for High Velocity Strength Training⭕️⁣⁣⁣

The dynamic effort popularised by Louie Simmons of westside barbell is a method utilised a lot by equipped lifers primarily multi-ply feds tend to use it in their training although a lot of prominent single ply lifters also use this method along with a smattering of raw lifters. ⁣

It is base off the idea of a strength curve of a lift, this is a basic concept based off the biomechanics of the movement and one that equipment exaggerates a lot.  Basically put – 𝐀𝐬 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 (𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐞 𝐚 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞) 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞𝐬.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
Bands and chains achieve the same aim as the concentric portion of the lift is being completed and the joint angles involved become more advantageous the band increases in tension or the amount of chain links involved come off the floor thus increasing the amount of resistance involved in the lift.  ⁣

Simply put – 𝐀𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐞𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐫. This has been proposed to overload the entire movement, increasing the resistance at different muscle lengths, and make the lifter stronger through lock out and more explosive from the bottom portion (as they are required to carry more momentum into the sticking point to overcome the increasing resistance.⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣
This has different positive outcomes, especially for high-velocity strength training, thanks to a faster movement and a greater accelerating phase that seems to positively impact the adaptation, through an increased early phase CNS drive, type IIX muscle fiber retention, faster contraction of the fibers, high velocity speed coordination and reduced antagonist muscle-activation.⁣⁣
