I tend to favour a reverse-band setup when performing the California Press, which is a cross between a close-grip bench press and a lying triceps extension. The band reduces stress on the triceps tendon in the bottom position and promotes accommodating resistance (i.e., less weight at the bottom and more at the top). Give it…
Using elastic resistance during a lateral raise is a great way to overload the top range and thus place more emphasis on the medial deltoid. Positioning your feet wider apart on the tube increases the challenge, but eventually one tube may not provide enough resistance. If that’s the case, use two!
