PB2 Supplements - Barbell Only?

[Leah Lutz]

If you have a rack, that's what I'd connect the band to. You should be able to find some demo videos on banded variations via a YouTube search. There are some creative set ups out there!

Thanks, Leah! I'll make sure to try those out! The banded stuff will definitely be new for me. I guess the best way to do that would be by sitting in a chair, so I don't pull the thing I'm wrapped around apart?

Always appreciate the quick answers!

Hi GP,
Glad you're able to run the template again, and it should be great on a cut. For the supplemental work, you can do those things if you can get your hands on a resistance band. This would allow you to do-
banded leg extensions
plate lateral raises
banded leg curls
plate DB flyes.

And this should be the current version!

I'll be running Powerbuilding II starting next week (while on a cut, wish me luck on mitigating my muscle loss!), but with gyms once again closed in my state, I do not have any machines or dumbbells, only barbells. In PB II, I noticed all of the supplemental lifts require those, while the main lifts have alternatives that always include something that can be done with a barbell. However, this template does not have an exercise selection tab for me to pick something alternative for the supplementals. What would you suggest in this situation?

As a reminder, the exercises in question are:

Leg Extension
DB Lat Raise
Leg Curl
DB Flye

Also, my version of the template is 3.2, so if there is a newer version that does account for these, it's not the version I have. I've run this program once before, and enjoyed it, but had the last couple weeks of it cut off for me the last time due to lockdowns happening right as I got to Week 8.
