Cook Band Assisted Split Squats
Cook Band Assisted Split Squats
This is one of our favorite Split Squat regressions that we use at @bodybyboyle and teach at @certifiedfsc.
Although we often employ a TRX, dowel or Keiser for assistance the Cook Band offers a unique alternative. By wrapping the band under the armpits it allows the client to feel securely attached to the band and prevents them from pulling with their upper body for assistance like they often will using TRX or rings. Additionally, the elastic nature of the band provides the client with the most assistance at the bottom of the pattern where it is the hardest and diminishing resistance at the top.
