Repeat sets are one of the Partner Band Training options I will often implement within my bootcamp setting.
It provides me a way to effectively manipulate the workout in 3 different ways
1. Allows me to push clients into using heavier bands to train with. The powerlifting community taught me this concept of using several low rep sets to increase work volume with heavier loads. Most people can do 2-5 reps vs. concerning themselves with 8-10 reps.
2. Repeat sets is an easier way to bring new campers into partner band training without the initial concern with holding. All the new camper has to be concerned with is performing the exercise which I as an instructor can easily monitor. It also teaches stabilization in between sets which preps them for partner holding.
3. It allows you to do more total body exercises or teach more advanced variations of exercises to specific groups. Example being.. split squats with or without an overhead press. High pulls with or without a step.
Heres a simple Repeat Set Partner Band Training Workout

Repeat sets are an outstanding way to get bootcampers rocking with a bigger band.
