Terrell Owens wide receiver, number 81 of the Dallas Cowboys is probably considered one of the finest wide receivers in the NFL. So, it might surprise you to learn that this NFL super star does not use free weights in his… Terrell Owens training program.
You see a few years back T0, as his friends call him; suffered a season killing hamstring injury. His Trainer, Buddy Primm recommended that he begin using resistance bands to rehabilitate his legs. Terrell loved them so much and got such incredible results that he gave up his free weights and dumbbells forever.
So, it probably comes as no surprise that he would create his own Terrell Owens Bodylastics resistance bands home gym. Yes that’s right another athlete getting richer promoting his own products. Now that’s how I would normally feel but, after purchasing the Terrell Owens Bodylastics bands I began to see why T0 created them along with the owner of Bodylastics… Blake Kassel.
Now these resistance bands are all that are used in the Terrell Owens training program. So let me give you a quick Terrell Owens Bodylastics resistance band review.
The T0 bands have a couple unique advantages over most ordinary rubber bands on the market today. For one thing, unlike most exercise bands you can attach multiple bands to each handle. Up to seven bands may be attached to each handle. And the resistance levels range from 5 pounds to 245 pounds. Making these exercise bands probably the only heavy-duty resistance tubes on the market today.
The Terrell Owens training program is setup similar to a regular bodybuilding program. You set up your workout schedule to workout either three days per week or four days per week.
Here Is a Sample of the Terrel Owens Training Program Schedule
Monday: chest and biceps
Tuesday: back and triceps
Wednesday: off
Thursday: shoulders and abs
Friday: legs, calves and hamstrings
Typically you want to perform 3 to 4 exercises per body part. The training program that he currently uses emphasizes power and strength over muscle size. The difference between these two programs is the number of repetitions and sets you perform.
For strength and power perform four sets of 6 to 8 repetitions of each exercise. For muscle growth or bodybuilding perform four sets in the 10 to 15 rep range.
By following the simple Terrell Owens training program you will quickly realize your fitness goals. Whether you decide to use resistance bands as he has or utilize free weights the choice is yours.
