Has anyone tried (and succeeded) using a band setup for assistance on the nordic curls?

The goal being that instead of using progressive range of motion, you would use progressive weight through a full range of motion.

I briefly tried a few different setups (with bands in a squat rack with pull up bar) and none of them really gave a nice "resistance curve" throughout the movement. For reference, I tried from the pull up bar straight down, from the perpendicular cross piece that runs to a cable stack, and from the opposite (far side) rack posts with a variety of bands. None really "worked".

(One side note: these are so different from glute-ham raises. In fairness, I haven't done GHRs since about 2007, so my memory is "fuzzy". But the nordics are just a whole other level of hell.)

So, I'm curious about other's experience in trying to setup bands.

Thanks,
Mark
