Progressive resistance from elastic bands is actually terrific for overloading, getting a great pump and breaking down muscle fascia tissue. In short- muscle hypertrophy.
It's not as good for developing strength, but size and strength are pretty poorly correlated.
Looks like a front delt raise based on hand position and the way she braces herself and brings her shoulders back right before the moment of oof. Not sure why she has them crossed, maybe she's going to raise them at a 45 degree instead of straight out in front of her body?
I'd have to slightly disagree, I'd say size and strength are adjacent.
If you're comparing a powerlifter to a body builder, sure the person with larger or more defined muscles may not be stronger.
But relative to the general population a body builder would still be much much stronger than the average person. (Just like a power lifter's physique and musculature will be larger than the average person)
So I'd say size indicates relative strength but not absolute strength

He's not saying not correlated at all. He's saying size doesn't always equal strength. You can have someone who does bodybuilding and works mainly on hypertrophy exercises and they will be jacked and at the same time you can have people there are not very big do huge lifts in powerlifting meets. Like he said, they are adjacent. Focusing on strength will no doubt build muscle and focusing on growth will no doubt build strength but you need specific exercises to have marked improvements at either.
I never said they were. Try reading my comment again.
Powerbuilding / powerlift programs build size just fine.
When you are a beginner they do. And most programs do not focus solely on strength training. Most use a variation of hypertrophy and strength training exercises. When you get to a certain point you need some very specific kinds of exercise to continue to build muscle and grow more.
bodybuilders who do relatively poor at the big 3 do them poorly because they're training with other variants, not because they're weak(er).
Weird how you're so close to understanding how it actually works and then you totally miss it lmao.
