Re: Resistance band exercises or dumbells
Most senior shooters I know recommend theraband/resistance bands over traditional weights though none could tell me why.
Tom Brady in his TB12 method recommends resistance bands over weights - his argument is resistance bands make the muscles long and flexible (pliability) while allowing a big fluid range motion. He argues that the way most people use weights/dumbells make the muscles short, dense and prone to injury. I haven't read the book yet, will post again once done
I use weights, but its just the inertia of moving/adding theraband. Would love to hear opinion from others
Some links below, i swear I watched these only for becoming a better shooter :-)
