    Accommodating resistance for squats is a popular tool that lifters and athlete will improve their squat strength and power capabilities.
    If you're new to using chains and bands for squats, then it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with what accommodating resistance is first to fully understand the "why" and "when" behind chains versus bands.
    In this chains versus bands for squats guide, we'll discuss everything you need to know when using these forms of accommodating resistance.
    0:00 Chains Vs Bands Intro
    0:21 What is accommodating resistance?
    0:46 Chains Vs Bands Differences
    2:52 Using Chains for Squats BENEFITS
    3:56 Using Bands for Squats BENEFITS
    4:50 Chains with Squats MISTAKES
    5:52 Bands with Squats MISTAKES
    6:39 How to Set Up Chains for Squats
    7:42 How to Set Up Bands for Squats
    8:51 Programming Considerations
    10:04 Final Remarks
    If you're newer to using accommodating resistance for your squats, then I'd suggest starting with chains.
    Chains can be a little more beginner-friendly and the stability demands they create won't be as high as using bands for squats.
    If you've never used chains and bands for squats, buckle up because you're in for a ride. They're some of the most fun tools you can use to progress squats, in my opinion.

    Question A. How do I attach the blue straps to the barbell and then to the chain, and do the blue straps come with a collar to keep the straps secure to the barbell with the 45 pound plates??

    Great video! I liked that you started with the advantages of chains/bands in addition to weights. The programming tips are very straightforward. A very thorough and inspiring video, thank you!

    Not supposed to lose tension at the bottom of the banded squat. Matt Wenning would 💩 if he saw that lol

      What if there might be more than one way to skin the cat and coach different concepts 🤷🏼‍♂️
      But I hear ya, if that’s how you’ve learned and like to program/perform then proceed. Beau has his methods and rationale as most coaches do.

      @@michaelderenne9838 Think a lot comes down to intent/load being used, tbh. You also have to consider the pop being trained and their eccentric overload capabilities and the goals of the bands. This list can go on
      Again, differences in programming styles...we can agree to disagree for certain training contexts. I would never say "never" regarding programming, honestly. Too much nuance out there for definitives.
