4. Low stance starts: Attach 3 bands of the same strength together in slipknots and another create a harness using two more bands of the same strength with an adhesive belt to create a harness worn on the shoulders. This movement improves starting strength and provides resistance for both the vertical and sagittal planes (up and down, forward and backward). This drill is especially useful for linemen in football, sprinters or any other athlete that has to move explosively up and forward at the same time.

5. Augmented Eccentrics and overspeed plyometrics: To be used only after the athlete has adapted to the use of plyometric training. Flexbands® can further overload the muscles by accelerating the athlete’s body towards the ground either from the “initial momentum phase” when the athlete steps or jumps off an object higher than floor level (if the bands are anchored to an object at floor level) or from the “termination of momentum phase” when the athlete body comes into contact with the ground. (Siff and Verkhoshansky, 1999). To perform augmented Eccentric Loading, have two partners step on the bands while the athlete wearing the other end of both bands is in the air. Then release the bands as soon as the athlete’s feet touch the ground. To perform Overspeed Plyometrics, simply keep the bands on the athlete throughout the exercise. Bands used: Mini, Monster Mini, Light.
