Top 7 Resistance Band Exercises For Guys Over 50...https://www.liveanabolic.com

Who needs a $10,000 cable crossover machine, when you can just get a $70 pair of resistance bands? You don’t need a gym membership, and for us older guys, we can do these top 7 resistance band exercises at home. For you guys that have to travel a lot, you can take your resistance bands anywhere and do these exercises anywhere. There are so many ways to utilize resistance bands to build muscle. Two important things to focus on are the amount of resistance, and the time under tension. Five of the exercises today are going to target the upper body, and 2 exercises will target the lower body. Let’s get started with the top 7 resistance band exercises for guys over 50.

Exercise #1: CHEST FLY. Step out to preload the bands with resistance, and squeeze the bands together like you are giving a hug. This is a great exercise for targeting the chest, and really make sure to hold the contraction when you bring the handles together.
Exercise #2: TRICEP PUSHDOWN. Experiment with the resistance to make sure that you are near failure towards the last reps in your set. This is a great isolated movement to help you get a great pump in your triceps.
Exercise #3: SQUATS. Squats are the best all around exercises that work so many different muscles. There are a few different ways to do squats with resistance bands. You can either hold the bands in front of you, or bring them behind you and over your shoulders. There is no right way or or wrong way with these options, so pick the one that works best for you.
Exercise #4: BICEP CURLS. Another great isometric movement for your arms. Make sure to keep the elbows steady, and really control the band for the whole range of motion. Squeeze the contraction at the top of the movement to really get a good pump in your biceps from this exercise.
Exercise #5: LATERAL RAISES. Bring the bands up to shoulder height, you do not need to go higher than that. If you want to work your shoulder more, hold the bands to your side for 2-3 seconds to really feel the burn in your shoulders. You don’t need to lock your arms out, keep a slight bend in your elbows in this exercise.
Exercise #6: STIFF-LEGGED DEADLIFT. Make the bands shorter by wrapping them around your feet to really add more resistance to get the most out of this exercise.
Exercise #7: LAT PULLDOWN. I like to sit on the ground to have more preloaded tension in the bands because our back is such a big muscle group. Really hold the contraction for 2-3 seconds before releasing the tension.
