    This man was ahead of his time. One of the very few trainers in general that used resistance bands during compound lifts. This method may have been normal in the powerlifting world, but when it came to training in other sports, rarely used.

      @ Alex you can't doubt it. It's literally written into the record books and you can go check it. Louie was in the world's top ten in his twenties thirties forties and deadlift was in the top ten in his fifties not sure about his other lifts at that point. He is one of the most underrated lifters going and at one point was only number two in the world because of Ed Coan. He totalled elite and featured in top tens for 3 weight classes which is also unusual.

      This is dynamic effort. It's only 50-60 percent of their max and 25% in band tension. You really shouldn't be failing doubles and triples with 75-85%. That being said, it's a box squat, so the other guys there help you out of you have to sit back on the box.
