Many look at strength training as a rugged and consistent need to be brutal and forceful along with being rigid to the degree where we only move in a straight line when in reality, it's more than those things and strength isn't just about Brute Force, it's about channeling a flow that paints a picture to utilize what is true strength. When it comes to the DopamineO Bands, it's not seeing what you do at it's peak stretch. When you stretch the band, the more you bring back, the heavier it's going to feel when you do exercises with it. It's finding that balance of resistance but able to move with precision and power in just about any direction. An idea is to see it as a partner that works with you.
Yes technique and work ethic is part of it but in all aspects, it's really how you make it your partner. A dance with rhythm and creative entities that make a workout look effortless and powerful at the same time. The uniqueness of it compared to other bands I've worked with is that it takes the stiff mechanics out of the equation and let's you build your imagination through the movements themselves beyond the reps and whatever.
It strengthens the motion that is congruent with the style of play you make with it. An example of what I mean.....
One of my favorite moves is what's called the Propeller which is an exercise that consists of training duck unders in wrestling along with rotational mobility and a twist. In the beginning learning it, it looks like a complicated move but once you understand the flow with the body and the band working together, it's not a stiff move, it's a form of what I call Ballet Strength or Dancing Strength. It's your partner, you put trust in it but it also has to have trust in you otherwise it won't have the same effects. The technique in and of itself is a practice but once you feel the placement of your body and the way it truly is done, there's fluidity. This particular move is not just a full body exercise, it tells a story.
When you flow through with the Band, you're not just working out, you're bringing something to life that builds strength from a different perspective. In terms of just looking at it or done analytically, it's really just a particular exercise that does build something whether strength, mobility and rotational power but when you flow into it and have a rhythm that mixes with your imagination, it becomes something different, something greater and an exercise that enhances your explosiveness and speed.
Dopa Bands were made in a sense to help bring techniques to a bigger platform for wrestling practice and working on moves for MMA but from another POV, it's fitness aspects can open doors to really unlock areas of your mind that seem limitless. It's not meant to build muscle to look like a Mr. Universe, it's true purpose in my eyes is to teach you how to use the true power of your imagination to create workouts that are lively and thinking 4th Dimensionally as Doc Brown would say. When you stop seeing things analytically and seeing them as a way to strengthen your body beyond the basic formalities, things will change. Your body will be doing things that didn't seem possible and training things that you didn't catch before and have this electrical impulse to move fluidly.
Train more lively with the Dopa Bands and find out what your true strengths are when you add in your imagination. There's a whole other world that you haven't see yet.
