Powerlifting Techniques with Resistance Bands” is a transformative guide written by Kevin B. DiBacco, an inspiring athlete who turned personal adversity into strength. After enduring ten major medical procedures, including multiple knee operations, back surgeries, hip replacements, and treatment for a brain tumour, DiBacco developed innovative approaches to powerlifting using resistance bands.
The book begins with DiBacco’s powerful personal story before diving into the history and evolution of powerlifting, tracing its journey from traditional barbell training to the incorporation of resistance bands. It provides detailed instructions on proper band selection, maintenance, and usage techniques for the three primary powerlifting movements: squats, bench press, and deadlifts.
Readers will find comprehensive chapters covering warm-up routines, progressive overload techniques, and common mistakes to avoid. The book includes specific programs for beginners, intermediate, and advanced lifters and detailed guidance on proper form and technique. Special attention is given to preventing injury and maintaining proper body mechanics.
What sets this book apart is its practical approach to making powerlifting accessible to everyone, regardless of their circumstances. DiBacco demonstrates how resistance bands can replicate traditional powerlifting movements while saving time, space, and money. The book concludes by thoroughly exploring different types of resistance bands and their applications, including a detailed breakdown of band colours and resistance levels.
Through clear instruction, personal insight, and practical wisdom, DiBacco provides readers with everything they need to build strength and power using resistance bands, making powerlifting accessible anywhere.
