Today’s Workout 32: The band-resistance circuit to build muscle

The resistance band is one of the most versatile, and often underrated, tools for building muscle. Incorporating the stretchy band into your routine will not only help you avoid injury, but also provide a more flexible range of motion to target underutilized muscle groups.

This dynamic routine is proof of just that. Each exercise in this mass-building circuit—overhead band presses, band side raises, band alternating front raises, and band rear delt flyes—is designed to stack size on your entire body, all while preventing muscle strain.

Directions

You’ll do this workout as a circuit, meaning you’ll complete each exercise consecutively without rest. Once you’ve finished all exercises, rest for 30 seconds. Repeat the entire circuit for 5 to 10 rounds.

Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest period. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
