Dear Baller, Are you a basketball player or know a basketball player that would like to increase their athleticism quickly? Do you hope to play high school or college basketball but need to jump higher, get stronger, and become quicker? Or maybe you need more strength to finish around the basket and stop getting pushed around under the basket on rebounds? If any of these situations sound familiar then listen carefully to what I'm about to tell you. Hi, my name is Coach Chris and here's the TRUTH you need to know about the importance of athleticism in basketball! Players that run faster, jump higher, have a quick first step, and can move laterally quickly have a big advantage over other players! No matter how skilled you are, athleticism will be very important in how high of a level of basketball you play. Skills being equal the more athletic player ALWAYS wins. NBA Players Using Resistance Bands like the P.R.O. Bands... Here's Your Big Problem In fact, here's the biggest problem you face right now. It's time. I'm sure you thinking I don't have time to do "more", I am already so busy... and I get it. Everyone is busy running from game to game, practice to practice! So how can you jump higher, get to the hoop quicker, and get stronger without doing extra workouts? I'd like to introduce you to P.R.O. (Progressive Resistance Overload) Resistance Bands help you jump higher, get a stronger lower and upper body, and build explosiveness without doing a bunch of additional workouts. P.R.O. Bands are the most versatile training tool a basketball player can have to Jump Higher, Get to the Basket Quicker, Lockdown Opponents on Defense, and Improve overall Athleticism. Used by the Pros, these bands are a great tool for unlocking explosiveness hidden away in your muscle fibers that you just need to bring out to take your game and athleticism up another level. JUMP HIGHER The P.R.O. Bands can used with our without weights to increase your vertical jump so you get those inches you need to dunk and grab more rebounds. DEVELOP STRENGTH Build Strength that will give you an advantage over other players at your level allowing you to dominate and prepare yourself for the next level by getting a stronger upper and lower body. INCREASE QUICKNESS While every player wants to dunk - quickness is the most important piece of athleticism you can have as a basketball player because you use it all the time on offense and defense. Whether you are trying to beat a defender off the dribble or you are trying not to get beat off the dribble - the quicker player will usually win. ACHIEVE ELITE ATHLETCISM All players have Fast Twitch Muscle fibers that give you your explosiveness on the court. The good thing is these can be developed through training so you can increase the amount of Fast Twitch Mucles fibers that you have! This means you haven't tapped your potential as an athlete and can greatly improve your explosiveness on the court. EASY TO USE ANYWEHRE The P.R.O. Bands are easy to take in any bag and don't require extra equipment to use. Take the bands to the court, use them in your house, outside, or wherever. Building explosive couldn't be any more convenient. WHY P.R.O. BANDS WILL WORK FOR YOU P.R.O. Bands are the Most Versatile training tool you can add to your training that will set you apart from other players. THE P.R.O. BANDS WILL HELP YOU GET TO THE BASKET QUICKER Wear the PRO Bands around your waist to add resistance to all of your dribble moves. This will do Two Big Things for your game... 1. The added resistance will force more muscle fibers to be used building more strength and speed. And since these are quick explosive moves to the basket that means fast twitch muscle fibers are being activated and developed that will make you faster and quicker to the hoop. 2. You can really lean into the bands and get lower like the Pros do. Most high school players and below play standing up and don't get low enough. Getting lower means you will naturally be quicker and faster because you'll be able to cover more ground than you will standing up. It's just simple physics and the PRO Bands will really help you lean into the move and get low. Don't Have Weights? No Problem! Don't have a set of weights sitting around the house or is the weight room often locked at your school? You can do strength training exercises to increase your vertical jump right at home. Squats, Lunges, and more are easily done anywhere with the PRO Bands. With multiple levels of resistance available the bands are a great way to increase your upper and lower body strength which will make you a better athlete and basketball player. The P.R.O. Bands are a great and safe way to introduce players as young as elementary school how to properly and safely start to lift weights. You can use the bands to do just about any weight lifting move without the fear of injury or an accident. FAST TWITCH EXPLOSION TRAINING Here's where you can blast your gains to another level. Add the bands to a barbell and you'll recruit more fast twitch muscle fibers throughout the movement. At the top of movements is when the bands kick in to their maximum resistance which means you have more resistance through the entire movement. IMPROVE FLEXIBILTY with Deeper & Fuller Stretches WHICH LEADS TO BEING MORE EXPLOSIVE Many players look over the role flexibility plays in their explosiveness on the court. The further you can move a muscle the more force you can produce. It's that simple. Increase the range of motion of your muscles through flexibility training with the P.R.O. Bands and you'll produce more force in your vertical jump, drives to the basket, and your lateral quickness. Increased flexibility will help you get lower and stay lower which will make you more explosive on the court. EVEN MORE BENEFITS OF THE P.R.O. BANDS Using the bands to build strength has the following advantages: Can be done right on the court without the need for a weight room or a bunch of equipment You can feel a greater and deeper burn in your muscles with resistance bands than you can with weights. You can't cheat with momentum when using bands like you can with weights. Resistance bands aren't hard on the joints like free weights can be. Bands are perfect for in-season strength training so you don't wear down already tired athletes. FAST RESULTS IN A SHORT TIME In as little as 10 minutes or less, you can get in strength training with the P.R.O. Basketball resistance bands right on the court. Easy to store and easy to bring out to the court. Resistance bands are also much less expensive than free weights. You can outfit your entire team with several or more bands for what you would pay for a handful of dumbbells. HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZED P.R.O. BANDS Black Band - Small Size: 41" Length x 3/4" width (10-30 lbs. resistance) Recommended for: Elementary to Junior High The small P.R.O.

Green Band - Large Size: 41" Length x 2 1/4" width (65-85 lbs. resistance) Recommended for: High School & Up The Large P.R.O. Bands are best for Explosiveness training with older athletes as they will not be able to stretch the band too far. Use the green bands for building leg strength by doing squats and more with stronger high school and up athletes. Doing upper body exercises with the large band will require a strong athlete if you are going to incorporate an exercise like Thrusters. Blue Band - X-Large Size: 41" Length x 1 3/4" width (100-150 lbs. resistance) Recommended for: College & Up The X-Large P.R.O.

RESISTANCE BAND LEVELS The great thing about the LockDown Defender bands is that you can adjust the resistance by changing the bands.

When we set out to design the bands, we wanted something that was well made and more useful than most products like this on the market. You can buy lateral bands at the big box stores but you can't change the resistance on them. The one band they come with is built in. Once you can easily do that one band there is no use for the product. Also, with most of those you have to be about 6'5" to get any resistance as the bands are way too long on those products. So we wanted a product that you could change the resistance on and give you enough bands that the product is useful for a youth player to a pro player.  Our bands also have metal clips. Most of these types of products on the market are made with cheap plastic clips that you know will break if you really use them for very long. The next thing we wanted to do was make them useful beyond lateral movement so they had to fit on the thighs as well. This opens up many more possibilities of using the bands vs. just wearing them around your ankles. I personally like to use them when working out to make by BeachBody workouts like P90X, T25, Beast, and others more difficult. T25 with these bands are great. I tried some of those bands that do not have straps and those quickly ride up on you and don't work. With the straps, everything stays in place while working out. So the bands are functional in any sport and area of fitness you want to use them. Make basketball defense drills fun by adding the Lockdown Lateral Resistance Bands for Ankles & Thighs to your workouts. What are lateral resistance bands?
