In a recent study from the University of Derby the increasing resistance the bands generate on the way up from the bottom position of the squat had a statistically significant beneficial effect on the maximal 1-RM weight the subjects, sixteen physically active men (age mean = 26.0 ± 7.8 yr, range 18 to 44 yr, height = 1.7 ± 0.2 m; mass = 82.6 ± 12.7 kg) with more than three years of serious weight training experience under their belts squatted in a subsequent 1-RM max effort.

The artistic aspects of coaching Weightlifting such as training design and the manipulation of training variables are subjective. In contrast, the mechanics for lifting a barbell properly are 100% objective. The Soviets used the scientific method for establishing their conclusions.
