Squats With Bands
Area Targeted: Thighs & Butt
Squats With Tube Bands are amazing for Building Overall size on your Quads (thighs), Glutes (Butt), Heck, your whole body! If you avoided squats with free weights because of the Knee and Back pain that they can cause, then you will love Tube Resistance for Squats. Since Bands do not produce momentum, there is considerably less wear, tear and pain in the joints.
