Using Superbands for Strength Gains Benefits of Resistance Band Exercises. Whether you’re using superbands or old-school resistance tubing, the benefits of Heavy Duty Resistance Bands, or “Superbands”. CrossFit popularized the concept of superbands, introducing them to boxes 6.A bell-shaped strength curve feels easiest at the endpoints.
The muscle tension required increases and then decreases. A good example of this type of strength curve is a biceps curl. Now that you’re an expert on strength curves, let’s dive into some common ascending-strength-curve exercises.Learn the essentials of Strength Training with Resistance Bands and take your power and explosion to the next level.
Here are 5 ways to use resistance band for strength training squats, deadlifts, bench, barbell press, and leg press. This is everything you need to know about resistance band strength training.Here’s where how to use resistance bands can get a little tricky: “Resistance bands can provide either assistance or resistance,” explains Pignataro. For example, “you can use a resistance band to assist in a pull-up and make it easier.

Using the Bands If you’re convinced that using resistance bands is the right thing for you, check out the ratings scale for the brand you’re using, and pick a.
So: How to gain strength without the size? First, remember that strength isn’t solely a property of muscle, but rather a property of the neuromuscular system.”Sure, curls and calf raises are great exercises, but if you want serious gains, you simply must hit heavy, basic compound movements,” explains fitness model and BPI athlete Whitney Reid. “When I say heavy, I’m talking enough weight that you’re fully fatigued after 8-10 reps.
Keep your form strict and control the weight.”.7. Add weights slowly. The main reason people plateau and stop gaining strength is that they go too heavy for too long. Abandon your ego and do your main lifts using 10% less than the most weight.
Ways of using the strength bands. When using the bands in conjunction with free weights, it can become difficult to imagine how to place the bands on certain exercises. For example, for a squat it’s easy: you loop one end of the bands on the bar and the other end around the base of the power rack or around two big hex dumbbells.Using Superbands For Strength Gains First Place Superbands Movestrong Superbands Superbands For Functional Fitness Strength And Mobility You First Place Superbands 5 Types Loop Resistance Superbands Yoga Pull Up Gym Fitness Superband Leg Abduction Devel Fitness Xplode Super Bands.Let’s Bands™ powerbands MAX Black Our robust powerband MAX (superband) in black is ideal for demanding and effective training sessions because of its higher resistance.

A grade of 4+/5 indicates that your muscle yielded to maximum resistance, but was able to provide some resistance during the testing.
A 4-/5 grade means that your muscle was not able to provide much resistance at all during testing.

Resistance bands work up to a point. If you’re very skinny, they can get you started, they can get you looking athletic. If you want to have big arms and a big chest and be well-defined, then they won’t do the trick. You need weights. But they are good if you just want to be healthy. They are also great for women.
20/10/10/15 for 4 sets and 90 secs rest, for resistance, heavy/ extra-heavy/ extra-heavy / heavy. ( Not about numbers, it is all about Quality)
Well, I am going to trust him for that.
Hello jeff…can you please guide which two color reisistance bands are good to buy..
Instead of increasing the distance or the resistance of the bands why not just increase the volume of the work out, instead of doing let’s say 12 reps you do 20 and then keep increasing every week,I feel like that could be another effective way of building muscles with these
I find rolling the bands up into a small circle so that you can poke your finger through it, place it on the floor under your crotch area and thrust your butt up and down to be a most enjoyable excersize.
Honestly bands are great for beginners or ppl coming back after a long absence or injury. They are more forgiving than weights since the resistance is less at the bottom meaning you can actually put maximum effort at the peak of contraction and since youre not fighting to get the weight movong as much it means less momentum cheating.
Plus they are great for saving money in hard times when a gym membership is too pricey bc almost every freeweight exercise is exactly the same w the bands.
Would be nice to be a little more detailed with the exact correct form for each of these excursions
Love your education of the masses, just realize many of us are newbie
I have to buy some Jeff shirts. I’m starting to look like him thanks to his and Butter Bob Briggs’s videos.
Thank god for this playlist! Gyms have been closed for so long and I finally caved and got myself resistance bands. Now I’m trying to figure out how to get serious with them after two weeks of playing around and three months of sitting around!
My brother got yolked in prison only using a water bag �� so yes you can build muscle
Resistance bands sold out everywhere but I got one for me today from offline fitness store ��
I’ve got only pain in my hands for grabbing the bands… felt nothing in my muscles (not even sweat)
I could use some help, the bands keep moving to my neck or slipping down in my back when doing push ups. Any tips on how to keep these where they should be? Also I get some wrist pain because the bands pull my hand backwards, any way to fix that?
Uff ready to rock this workout even tho I know it’s gonna be tough like your other ones.I don’t have those kind of elastic bands but I do have pilates bands.I wonder if those can be used in this workout.If I tie them from the end.But thanks Larie for the workouts.����
Just did my first resistance band workout n I must say i love it n it’s effective ��
If you never wore gloves in the gym, you do not need to start now
I was searching for a video that targeted the shoulder! Couldn’t have been any luckier, thank you for this information.
The push up with band hurts my wrist, that does not happen without the band, any advice?
You didnt get fit in the gym before, now you want to get fit with rubber bands at home during the quarantine
Cheers. I have lost a bit of form on my chest since the gyms have shut down. I think I just need to go harder! All the best.
Hi OK so if I try lift a bar bell I feel pain in my left shoulder. So I feel the week In my left arm and when I lift my left shoulder gets hard like it’s taken all the weight and not my arm sorry if you don’t no what I mean
What is with the bow tie.
Put on a shirt and get rid of the bow tie.
Enjoying the content James. Have used light bands for awhile to do face pulls as a warmup and heavier bands for good mornings during warmup. Such a simple thing, but never thought to wear gloves since I have never lifted withy them. Will definitely try it as that has discouraged me from doing lots of reps of rows and pull downs with them. Can I ask how come you don’t make an X with the band on your back when doing push-ups? Just for speed between sets?
My X-Heavy band broke within two weeks doing exercises from videos like these.
thank for the vidio amazing workout
and that what i found cheaply you wolcome all
https://www.ebay.com/itm/203002156818
I use a 100 pound resistance band for some of these. That will indeed build mass.
As long as you’re mindful of the resistance throughout a range of motion you can adapt exercises to get a full tension on the muscle. for instance with side raises you can use a heavier band from an anchor point to get full tension from the start of the movement of which you might only get partials but then you do a drop set with a lighter band to hit the top of the movement. or super set them which ever you prefer (or better yet alternate between the two each workout) like any adjustment in training you have to think smart and adapt
Hii sir, I have an doubt regarding whether muscle bands or dumbells are effective for muscle building??
[ ] Band pull a parts ( 0:45)
[ ] Serratus punches ( 1:20)
[ ] Over & backs ( 2:16)
[ ] Over head Jackhammers ( 3:24)
[ ] Face Pulls ( 3:58)
[ ] Hip Hinges ( 5:20)
[ ] Over-head Side steps ( 6:08)
[ ] Oblique Corkscrews ( 7:24)
Honestly, weights are better. I’ve experienced them both now and for example, seadlifts? Absolutely awful. Good for isolation stiff i believe but compound stuff, weights wipe the floor with them. (sitting here sweating after a bands workout)
Why is there a X in a lot of the names that revolve around working out? Like equipment names, brands, and in this case channel names? Is there some significance in the letter X and working out?
How much durable are those?? Will those bands be effective for 2-3 years??
My favorite strength athlete on the planet. Smart and beautiful. Gotta love her��❤️
0:15 to 0:30 Can’t relate to that discussion. There a resistance bands with more resistance than what I can deadlift. ��
Dude bands are just as good as free weights when it comes to certain body parts and even better on some body parts.
They are more effective than free weights when it comes to front side and rear delts, can’t beat reverse flys with tubing, also one armed shrugs with tubing have a far better feel than dumbbell shrugs, for chest they seem slightly less effective. For back they are just as effective. For legs they are kind of limited but there are some killer leg exercises you can do with them… If you know how to do it bands can make even the most fit person’s legs sore the next day. Plus they don’t make you as winded Because you don’t have to put the weights back up so you can focus ALL your energy into the muscles you are trying to Target.
They are just as effective with biceps and triceps and there is one kick-ass bicep exercise I’m thinking of that can’t be duplicated with free weights. They are just as good for calf’s with a block of wood under them and you can even workout your forearms with them.
Also they are very good for abs… Side bends with bands work wonderfully. Plus they can go anywhere with you. And you can also supplement traditional exercises with bands like doing assisted pull-ups, dips, or resisted push-ups ect ect
Hoping someone can recommend a band for me. Something simple like Jeff appears to be using in the videos. No handles, no 17-colors of bands packages, just one simple band.
BTW Jeff could make a killing selling his own bands or getting an affiliate cut by recommending one
I would love for Jeff to come up with a new program that’s entirely based on bands. Lately I’ve been doing his TNTs using only bands and the 6 pack shuffler using bands but would definitely buy a band program from him.
Asking advice from anyone that’s been doing resistance bands workouts for a while, when the gyms were open I was doing push pull days 6 with resistance bands workout however am I better doing say chest day, leg day, back day, shoulder day whilst mixing in some biceps and triceps. Any help would be appreciated
You’re not supposed to look like you do while sounding like you do…
Hey Larry, great topic. I have also been tracking bands by distance. I have heard others they don’t know how to figure out & it drives me crazy…just use the distance & log it….always comes back to logging doesn’t it?
The cricket season is rather compromised, and I can’t practice my shots in nets, but I’m currently using bands to reinforce forearms much more practical than weights, more control!
I’ve got a weak solarits so this is a perfect rest day circuit for me.. What set/rep range should I be doing?
What I find interesting is that the title of this video’s is exercises “for mass”, the exercises are actually prehab/rehab and at the end he says adding them to you routine will boost your lift numbers, somewhat mix messaging however…
The exercises themselves don’t help with mass however they will no don’t help those seeking it because you need a lot of volume and you can’t do lots of volume if you’re beat up from shit form or poor foundation, which is smart on Jeff’s part really. Also, although not what the title suggested, or the exercise choice did either… at the end when he says you’re numbers will jump up he is also not wrong if you do add them you would see strength improvements.
Just thoughts ��♂️
Thank you for this beneficial video! Can you share what type of band you used or the resistant?
Best bands for building muscle? Stone Roses, The Clash, Foo Fighters.
These are great man! Will deff be watching more videos working with resistant bands
Calesthenics + resistance band. Novices + resistance band. Old people + resistance band. + spin bike and diet:) are worth it. I mean i helped my mother like that she went from 80 kg to 67. She is 160cm tall. So yeah. She got to 21% bodufat at age 55 she doesn’t love gyms doesn’t have time and she has so many injuries in her knee back… she did get a good profetionnel heavy duty bike 150kg. And now she is able to burn 200 calories in 25 minuts. So yeah bands are worth it to keep in shape get in to shape…
Just finished the workout you explain in the video. My chest is on fire… never feel this sensations after a normal chest workout… the non perpendicular stance for the “incline press” is just genius trick!
Woo! Worked up a great sweat with this one Larie! I am only 5’3” so I had to choke up on the band for some of the lower body and used a heavier band as suggested from block three on. Great session! Then added the new tricep video! Eeeooow!! ������
I link my 2 bands between the feet of my bench and the tips of my bar, that benchpress is aaaaaawsome because it gets both benefices weight and bands at the same time.
I love bands and have been using them even more because of the situation going on out there but one thing I don’t like is that I feel like it can be inconsistent. I wonder if some days I cheat myself by holding a band higher or lower to decrease tension. But otherwise I love them….oh and there’s also the anxiety over one of the bands snapping and tearing out an eye.
hey elliot if you can contact me i have a new intenvetion if you can get in touch with me that i think u would be interested in get. get back at me. Thanks
U r very smart, but bands with more resistance, could build big muscles too, so ur information is inexactly and confusing
I’m 78 and resistance tubes are the best thing that ever happened to me. Since I’m indoors during this corona virus I happened to find a single band with handles and started using it immediately. I’m so impressed with the results that I’ll be ordering a complete set. One of the big secretes for improvement at my age is to have a 2 to 3 hour catnap after each workout then go back and “hammer” the muscle all over again. As we get older we are not usually strong enough to properly “destroy” the muscle during a single workout. What I accomplished by a lot of extra rest between workouts really made up for my age. After a workout I can pack my entire workout kit in a shoe box. My friend is following in my footsteps just because he doesn’t have the space for equipment in his apartment! Thanks to your “squat” program I’m climbing hills better on my bicycle! As it turned out all the muscles your training during your leg workout are exactly the same muscles I’m using while riding my bicycle up any hills. (Mike Scott, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada)
I stopped heavy gym as it’s too expensive these days most gyms 600 a year so I only use bands…I’m just as ripped as this guy and all because I use bands and only 10 min a day’s my routine is
Mon..bic back
Tue..chest Tri
Wed..legs shoulders
Thur..bic back
Friday…day of:)
Sat..chest triceps ( incase your out on date ect chest is big )
Sun..shoulders legs
And also 100 sit-ups a day
After 16 years or weight trainings wish I’d started this sooner been doing it 2 years get resistance band pack with different tensions
Good luck save money same effects
Heavy bands can go up to 120lb of resistance. A body builder uses them
Wow, He’s 50? Hubba Hubba. He’s in great shape. And he seems very smart as well. Great Job.
My friend from highschool was bigger than all of us. He only used industrial strength bands and bodyweight. It inspired me to how i train now. You absolutely can build a significant amount of muscle with bands and bodyweight. Your going to need to do a shit load of reps with time under tension. But it is possible
Bands Do work..as long as you don’t eat like a hippo afterwards.
Al modstand gir muskler, jeg har trænet i center i 17 år, de sidste 3 har jeg kun brugt bands, jeg er vokset og jeg ser bedre resultater end jeg nogensinde har gjort før, jeg er skadefri.
Når man bruger bands som modstand er det vigtigt, du ikke bruger dem som om det er en håndvægt.
Lad være med at udregne modstand, som om du træner med vægte, bands er ikke vægte, lær din krop at kende og du skal ikke ændre modstand, men vinklen, du rammer din muskler på, jo flere forskellige måder du rammer den på, jo, mere vil du se en udvikling. Du har her ikke tyngde kraften imod dig og kan komme ud i positioner ingen anden modstand kan.
Især, nu når man når op i alderen og risikoen for skader bliver større, så drop kiloerne og fokusere på hits and target istedet.
Er overbevist om, at du kan holde en flot fysik hele livet med bands
when I saw this vid for the first time I was not a believer. 30 bux later I realized i am an idiot. These bands are really good on the go!!
I’m here literally because all decent dumbbells are sold out.
I like your mentioning the “long, cumbersome process” aspect of this pursuit. This turns out to be very good in the long run, as it results in our continual development over a lifetime. Thank you!
so wait, bands only target small muscles? I cant depend on them alone for a full body workout?
In my experience, resistance bands work very well for curls, overhead presses, and abs. They don’t work very well for lower body, however. And if you want to build mass, you will have to squat, deadlift, and bench press heavy weights at high volume. There is no substitute.
Do not call me baby. My heart is fragile. I give in quickly. Just don’t, baby.
I’ve tried James Grage’s method, it’s insane. The guy is for real and resistance bands can help you starting. For example with dips: instead of going to the gym, you can do it at home or in a park. The bands, as you put your weight on them, cuts away a few kilos to help you learning the movement, saving your joints (no, not THAT joints) and getting you working. It’s less time consuming, more easy to start (you don’t have to move away from home), but at the same time you have to work more. If you want to build yourself like a truck, then adding weights and resistance bands as exposed in the video it’s perfect.
Does these bands add extra weight to the bar? I weigh 225 lbs and the doorframe bar is rated for 300 lbs. my concern is the green band can add anywhere from 50 to 125 lbs and I don’t understand if it’s adding weight to the bar like my weight plus 125 or what.
https://fitcord.com/ We have Amiercan Made Resistance Bands..
I see many people keep on talking about Custokebon Secrets (look on google search engine). But Im uncertain if it’s good. Have you ever tried this popular weight loss secrets?
Ok I signed up to hybridperformancemethod.com. If this doesn’t work I’ll… Well I wont/cant kick your ass but I can make some mean ass faces.
Band workout is the best to build and maintain muscles at home
Thanks for the info, man!
Never really used those bands!
�� Greetings from Belgium!
Again a great video, & Laurence in top shape. ��How do you do that and where do you find the time?
Best regards bro��
Laurence,.. you ALMOST have me convinced it’s F U N!! Great info!!
Now that was interesting when you said there were less stressful on the joints cause I’ve found in some instances they can be harsh on the joints especially with the higher rated bands as the resistance can be all of a sudden rather than a natural strength curve with tradition bars and Dumbbells MINT
Good video. I almost view bands as “making all of the muscles functional” type approach. Whether it’s rehab, just starting to work out after a long time off, testing how strong targeted muscles/muscle groups are ect.. with low to medium gains in overall strength pretty much the only result you’ll get. It sounds like I’m knocking using bands but quite the opposite I’ve had to revert to using bands after pulling a groin, hamstring, abductors (piriformis) ect..and they have helped a lot and I will continue to incorporate them into occasional home work outs. I prefer free weights and explosive movements but everyone works out for their specific desired result. I’m 46 and still want to play basketball, baseball and run around coaching kids teams so I need functional strength and explosiveness while maintaining flexibility using foam rolling and other stretching. Find your weak/turned off/underutilized muscle groups, turn them on/strengthen them thru their full range and work on all aspects of your health like the Fit and 50 channel promotes and you’ll have a good long term foundation for the rest of your life.
Hi, physicist here. This is the coolest f’n workout vid I’ve ever seen. Feeling this content.
I suspended from eyehook embedded in truss ceiling 8 100# caribiner bands to either side of a 7′ 45# straight bar wrapped in pool noodles so that it is floating horizontally about 2.5 feet above floor to create a surfboard simulator.
36:40 “If you don’t want it smacking your junk, just take out some slack. EH EH AH EH AHHHHhhhhhhh”
The tricep pushdowns you did look so tough.
I actually do use a band of sorts but it has loops in it so i can shorten the length by using the loops that are closer together. But I’ve only been using them for chest. I’ll about the variations you did.
I didn’t know about the colors denoting difficulty. Red band to black band to grey band. Do boy bands turn into man bands? Kidding, hehe
If AthleanX got some bigger lats he’d dominate in Classic Physique.
It’s very sad because you could be the strongest natural and you choose to be on roid, and of course it is very clear on your face, I understand people want to be like superheroes but I don’t understand why cheating on themselves you are very intelligent and you know you subject but I can’t understand why people make this choice
Your beard & your physique show different age of yours �� just kidding lots of love sir
I have the bands. I’m just lacking other accessories to help with my workouts. A bench for instance. I need a routine too. What do you recommend? Great video BTW. I am almost 50.
My gym recently closed due to the “chinese virus” so rather than spend thousands of dollars on weights and machines i spent $100 on resistance bands. I have never had a pump like i have using these bands!! Give em a try they are unreal!!!!
There are bands that will add over 400 lbs of resistance I personally use both but if you doubt the effectiveness of bands then come workout with me in NY and I be happy to change your mind bout them!!! just saying…
Another great explanation and demonstration Laurence �� I’ve definitely enjoyed incorporating band training into my workouts and will continue using them even when the gyms open back up
( 3:44) holly crap! tell me this force-velocity curve doesn’t look like a hyperbola, i.e. force * velocity = const, curve to you?
but since force * velocity = power, that would mean that our body is able to produce a specific maximum power (given by this const), that kind of makes it obvious why you can either lift heavy but slow, or lift fast but light, but not both.
Hi Larie!
Thanks again for another challenging workout!
I do not have the superband you have, but I used both a tube with handles and crossed it in front of me for the first blocks, and a theraband that I tied firmly and put around the shoulder instead of around the neck and this worked really well for me, too!
Thank you for making working out so much fun ( #nopainnogain)!
Keep posting these great video’s!
Best wishes from Holland!
Sandra
This is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for! A full workout with the body bands! I had to make some mods because I can’t do a lot on my knees and I barely made it but I will keep trying! Thank you so much.
I never thought I would train with resistance bands because resistance bands are for weak girls right? But thanks to Corona I ordered me some bands and I gotta say, there’s no difference between weights and bands. And I love being able to stay home and not have to go to the gym and use gas and money i probably won’t even touch a free weight for quite a while
You have my like! ��Great vídeo! ��
However, if you let me say, you should have focused more on the exercice video and showing the full body from different angles. Instead, you showed more time of trainer talk and cutted some essentials of the entire position.
Even for the bigger movements bands can build muscle, don’t be fooled
Nice video! A friend recommanded me premium quality resistance bands for a cheap price. After using them for 3 months now, I am really grateful and satisfied so I decided to share the link with you guys: @t. Enjoy!
Baby you gotta understand your speaking to a 21 yr old kid with no college degree and barely graduated high school. Can you explain this as if you were explaining it to Micheal Scott.
Todo lo que dices es mentira no tiene aclaración esos artículos, ocupas estudiar varias carreras ya que nadie en el mundo sabe todavía como funciona el músculo. Jaja
“TOO MUCH VOLUME CAN REDUCE YOUR SPEED OF PROGRESS, BUT SO CAN TOO MUCH VOLUME” #GENIUS
He who isn’t strong must be smart. He who is not strong nor smart must be brutal.
Amazing. I lift heavy and after doing this on “off days”, dude… I added 4kgs to my dumbbells right away. And it is so goddamm time-effective as well. Getting a thicker band next month. Also gained lean mass as well! Brilliant
Pumping iron will always be superior….look at the bodybuilders, nevertheless resistance bands are great to complement your exercise training, great for warm ups and cool downs, and less likely to prone injuries. Combining them both would be best but not on every muscle group.

Greetings from South Africa! Great video. Looking forward to your future content! We also love training with resistance bands in our home gym. Just uploaded a Resistance band leg workout. As new YouTubers, we need all the support we can get. Would appreciate a like on our latest video, and let us know what you think in the comment section. Have a great day!
¡Increíble! You deserve the best girl, you’re super professional. Blessings from Barcelona, Spain. I’m gonna recomend your channel to my lifter buddies.
Yes it can. Simple answer. Video was pretty unnecessary. If you use anything the correct way and put in work you will make it do what you need. People literally get ripped from body weight exercises alone.
Illuminati extracted so many of this buff Dr. chicks ovaries she now says my babies naturally
(Remember The Katy Groves videos)
I do shoulder press with 40 lb in each arm but when trying to increase it to 45s I keep failing. Any tips to make my shoulders stronger?
For the overhead sidestep: how do you stop the band from slipping under your feet? With every step I take, when my feet are close together, the band slips towards my hands and then the next step is harder. Within 10 or so steps, I can barely take a step because my feet are attempting to stretch a 1 inch piece of band 3 feet.
Not that you need anyone saying this, but it strikes me every time I watch your videos just how amazingly smart and beautiful you are.
That Frida Khalo painting is fucking the bomb dot com. Where could I get one?
Can you talk about what your preferred method of mobility would be then for maximizing strength adaptations?
putting the bands onto your skin like that though really fucks up my skin though, scratching the skin off and making it dry
I believe that resistance is better for the contraction with the limited amount of weight movement, you can feel the muscle that you are targetting but with the free weights, most of the people want to just go heavier and heavier which cause secondary muscles to involve more than the primary one, again its for beginners and intermediates.
You have too much belief in that door!! Every rep is going to slowly weaken it!
Just subbed and love these vids. Alot more detail than many many others. Very nice. Glad i subbed. Stay strong and stay gorgeous…
Stefi is literally just pure muscle with a skeleton frame it’s insane and lifelong goals!!
Shifted to resistance bands after ciprofloxacin destroyed / eroded my joints. Highly recommend it when you have injuries (chemically induced or other sorts)
For the first couple minutes I swear I was watching Physics Girl instead of Stefi, good stuff though!
Stefi: what’s up, muh babies?
Me: Marry me.
I’m a big fan Stefi. That said, your ad placement is excessive. It’s hard for me to commit to playthrough when I have to move back every 3 minutes to skip an ad.
This is the best video I have ever watched. Good info real science. Not just opinions.
She manages to be absolutely ripped and still appear feminine.
The only drawback of Bands are they are difficult to use & can be dangerous also. Like while using them we have to use both of our feets & arms for doing biceps curl exercise but in dumbells we simply lift the dumbells up. Then if they snap back or we accidently slip our feet they can literally come & hit on our eyes & our eye can come out. Though Training with gym equipments can also be dangerous but they are designed exactly for that like Dumbbells are used for holding up & Bench is for lying down etc. So training with bands means more risk is involved, especially they can really injure our face & eyes.
For those of us who have spotty, amateur, self-taught enthusiast knowledge, this was invaluable. You have crystallized principles I have heard about in other contexts but had not put together in their proper relationships. In short, this is a skeleton key to understanding a lot of what other people reference in their training presentations and a fantastic way to assess what is so much bull$h!t getting spewed over the internet. Thank you so much!
Just bought the whole set up bands bag and all ganna try this out being on home lock down and all. I wanna get a good pump without my gym since they closed
i have massive respect for you. My arms give out and i thought my body was being a little bitch. I guess it happens to all of us and sometimes we can’t push through it. Much respect. Thanks for the video!
5’7″, 272lbs and getting back into the gym for the first time in a long time. Can you workout for strength and still keep or improve your speed and explosiveness?
I’m an elementary school teacher. I’m going to use this in my class. Thanks!
Now that I am one of her babies, can I call her mom. Mom can I borrow the car for the weekend?
People are way too much focused on the perfect growth, the perfect exercise, the biggest muscle. Most people do not have the time to follow this protocol. For me personally it is fine enough if you combine it with calisthenic, no need for the ego tripping barbells, which is dangerous to do it by your self. If you have a training buddy than it is all fine, but if you are middle age, with a busy job and children resistant bands for enough. Most people do not need the expert level of muscle growth which someone everyone seems to promote.
Jeff doesn’t contract coronavirus.
Instead, he contracts his abominals to prevent breathing it in
Okay dam James has gotten WAY BIGGER. I am comparing him now and before. Looks like he gained 20 pounds. Dude looks 230 to 245 before he looks 210 to 215.
Problem is I’m 298 and yes fit and yes have used the juice. I am curious to see someone like Jay Culter James good friend try this or someone at that weight.
Je me suis acheté une bande élastique jaune Décathlon pour faire ces exercises mais Fédérico m’ignore car il ouvre des franchises Senor Frogs à Ixtapa et Acapulco, no ma mes!
Set 3 bro u missed a set and u only done ten reps? Explain please
One key issue with bands which is overlooked is that the resistance isn’t consistent. As the band is stretched you’re up against greater force than at the beginning of the movement. With weights the resistance stays the same.
It’s good for toning, stamina and therapy. But for bulking up? No.
resistance band set best thing for training at home get one for urself at some store (or at store where i get it at trainhome.shop ) TRUST ME ITS GREAT
Is this channel for real?..how can i digest tech info when I’m looking at you and your shorts?..
would you ever consider doing a real time back or chest workout? it would be great to follow along!
Great workout James! The one thing I find hard however is stabilizing the bands around the arm to be stabilized by the shoulder as well
bands can build but not much I been using em for years they good for cutting more and making the muscles hard
How effective is Custokebon Secrets? I’ve noticed several awesome things about this popular lose weight method.
Quarantines give us no choice but to use bands. I love my bands. But I know there’s no substitute for real weight deadlifts, for example.
I found a website that takes this workout and programmes it with sets and reps: https://www.fitsimplify.com/how-to-build-muscle-with-resistance-bands/ is it worth following their suggestions?
How do I place the band between shoulder blade and bicep if I have none of those?
What a fucking jug head i don’t see why people even check your channel out your dumb and a meat head.
I have the power bands (no handles) and I used to take them on vacation with me because I sure a shit wasn’t going to the gym on vacation but I wanted to exercise anyway. Now fast forward to the crap that’s going on today and the gyms are closed. So I break out the power bands and start using them seriously. I have not lost an ounce of muscle and actually am making gains as this lockdown lingers on. Let me tell you that before this I thought using power bands for too long would make me lose what I’ve gained in the gym. I am seriously shocked at the results. To be honest I used to bash people that said bands could build muscle in someone that was a seasoned gym goer. My argument always was “When I see a pro bodybuilder use them instead of weights, I’ll change also.” I’ve been a gym rat for 35 years and the results with the bands are so good that I’m considering stopping my gym membership when this is all over.
Ugh I would pay anything for stefi to beat me up. Oh and uhhh really good video honestly. Subbed
U just destroy all the stay home buddy to exercise with just resistance band!!! Congrats!!!
3 minutes nonstop talking and basically nuthin actually said…yawn
Great exercises, but for me at this moment its better to use resistance band set. They are simple to use and you can be safe at home. For me that’s best option. I got my at trainhome shop (check on google if you want).
Ive been strictly using bands long befor any lockdown. My gains have been much better then when i was using weights. I love them. But thats me and my experience
This woman is awesome and the information presented here is pure gold.
I am 220lbs and been getting great gains using a set of bands I got from HomeProGym, they have been great to put mass on.
I bought a band set from homeprogym.com and they are the best! I have actually enjoyed using them and had some great gains. I used a broom stick (i know lol) with the band to do a bench press and it’s exactly like a bench press at the gym. I like that I can travel with a whole set of them and exercise on the go when I am travelling.

Ok, I was down for about 7yrs with an untreated neck injury. Finally got the surgery to fix it and have just come off medical restriction. However, in that time I was down nerves died & severe pain was my hourly existence. I gained so much weight from stress and inactivity I doubled myself even though I lost about 5in of height from desiccated discs.
My question is, will I be able to replace the droopy areas like my chest with enough muscle to balance my appearance? And if so, about how long will it take and which equipment should I focus on?
TL;DR: I have moobs and want them gone without surgery.
I just bought resistance band and its definitely heavier than I thought
Does Custokebon Secrets (google it) help me lost tons of fat? I see many people keep on talking about this popular weight loss methods.
Looks like Elliot’s afraid of loosing business. I’ve been using bands the last few weeks and I’m getting bette results than I ever got in the gym. They target the muscle easily and the movements are more natural and in sync with you. It’s up to you how mush resistance you want, add more bands or grip the band at a lower spot. I think bands are gonna really put a dent in the gym industry. Well judging by Elliots negative almost hostile response.
Any one tested out the Custokebon Secrets (do a google search)? We’ve heard many awesome things about this popular fat loss system.
Already two months now I’ve not been in the gym, instead I workout with the resistance bands daily at home. Muscles still grow. Really really awesome. Thanks bro..������
Anyone tested out the Fenoboci Diet Plan (just google search it)? I have noticed numerous amazing things about this popular diet plan.
When you are doing band type workouts, you have to get to the point where it hurst so much, you think you are at failure… that’s the point where the set BEGINS. You have to go to “failure” and then beyond when you are doing light resistance such as this.
Best part of bands is the toughest part is at the peak of the contraction, so you can actually have an advantage because the lower part of the rep is easier. It is maximizing the peak tension, which gives the best pump, which give you the most gains, which makes you “always cuming” (Arnold voice)
So you have any bands exercises I can do lying on the floor for the upper body only…I have bad legs and want tot train chest, back, shoulders, biaand trics
Jeff, thanks, another winner as always, my back is blazing the morning after.
I just want to say thank you!! This band workout is badass. I am a true believer now. It was intense, pump was amazing and the overall core involvement kept the heart rate up. I absolutely loved it
The ink of tattoos deflects slowly and goes into the brain where it stays.

The order you do your exercises matter. Watch this video to find out why I like to do Squats first in my full body workouts. https://youtu.be/UgEYV2JgTyM
James Grage will have rethink the way you think about bands forever! I LOVE bands, they are the most versatile piece of fitness equipment on the planet, there isn’t a muscle in your body you can’t train with bands!
I a arm wrestler believe in weights all my I was going to gym 5 times a week after they close it I started using loop bands and I had already purchased a bodylastics (bands with handles stackable)….bands set 2 years ago but I never used it but during this pandemic I found something I’m not only building muscle I’m also getting stronger I had to go and see a friend that before the pandemic had beat me 2 to 1 in tournament..as soon we got on table and try to pull my arm he looked at me and said are you using gear….was like no…then said your arm feels different after i pin him twice with ease….then he said you something I know…..so hey I’m done with gym the could open and I’m going to cancel my membership my arm feels great I’m getting stronger and aside from all that spending more times with kids and wife back at home my daughters come outside to the garage while I’m training……best working out partners I ever had…..hey I have resistance band gym in my garage very inexpensive but very affective I’m staying home people
This is the first video of Jeff’s that I have officially disliked! Sure, the content is great as always, but these exercises are NOT the BEST for MASS!! And I get it that these will HELP in getting mass when u combine these with the ACTUAL mass building exercises, but the title is wrong!! I was expecting to learn about killer MASS exercises, yet I was given only assistance, warm-up, stabilizing and corrective exercises, which again are NOT the best MASS building exercises! Clickbait 0/5.
(With proper title 5/5.)
Muscles don’t know the difference between free weights dumbbells or resistance bands, whatever it takes to achieve personal goals that’s my view on training
I just found your channel & subscribed-better late than never eh? Thanks for great content & presentation Sadik.
bands have saved my life through covid, like can the gyms just reopen yet please
I like that video where you was talkin about strength training how often should you strain per week doing strength training and idea time hour a day training
wat resistance bands do we use i.e. very light, light etc… Also reps and sets
I got some bands at the best price at ahgequipment.com they are perfect for long term use.
Thank you for a fun challenging workout, enjoyed this! Thank you!
Anybody know what is Fenoboci Diet Plan about? I hear a lot of people lost tons of weight with Fenoboci Diet Plan (just search it on google).
This is the best ‘band’ workout I’ve ever seen. I’m a 62 yr old gym rat but quit the gym and bought the bands. It would have never occurred to me to do these exercises. I can’t wait to go back to the park tomorrow and try all eight. Thanks for putting this video up. It’ll take the sting out of not going to the gym. What a great group of exercises! I’ve watched you before but this time you hit it out of the park!!
I use bands here all the time..if you can’t make it to the gym…and just want a quick burn they will get it done..
Like these better than the ones with your twin brother. You actually get to the point. Aren’t you one of the hodge twins?
I’m over 220lbs, 17″ arms, 46″ chest,34″ waist, 17″ neck natural and using nothing but bodylastics and elasitone (black mamba) bands. ure muscles don’t have eyes they react to resistance be it weights, bands or 2gallon milk jugs
Got a great pump. Been in the fitness industry 20yrs, by far the best bands I’ve ever used…
I have been looking high and low, and really want to get the same bands you are using, those therapy therabands keep breaking, can you please tell me where I can get them?
Those resistance band pushups is putting allot of stress on my wrists I could feel them
Resistance comes in many forms, water and air is a form of resistance
This is amazing, I was just going to ask you about this, as I have been adding resistance bands into my workouts.
thank for the vidio amazing woekout
and whta i found cheaply you wolcome all
https://www.ebay.com/itm/203002156818
Warns of boring science ahead and then promptly gets the word “sarcomere” wrong lol
I really loved the animation, and the fact that this video is backed up by science! I’m subscribing for sure!
The video is complete bullshit, the only thing it does right is confuse it’s audience to the point it can feed them any bullshit without raising questions
Almost certain that it’s “sarcomere”, not sacromere. Apart from that, great video.
I looked on your site, but (sigh) none of my weight bands are available all have red crosses on them, am I to assume these bands are not available?
Both Keith and Kevin say.. Yeah, you’ll get the Gaaainnnzzz from bands. But at the end of the day… do what the F YOU WANT TO DO!!
Why I’ve never heard of her before for God’s sake!!! It’s like only a few youtubers in the Fitness Community actually know this much about biomechanics, anatomy…Thank God I found this channel
James: “Just like you stack weight stack bands.”
Hip Hop Heads: “dis ni***a spitin.”
Im sure its as effective as free weights. Skilz bands got different kinds of resistance from 30 to 100 pounds and they have handles that have triple band slots so you can add bands with different resistance for heavier workouts

How do we choose the right resistance band to start with?
I don’t know if I should choose a yellow 25 kg one or an orange 35 kg one because I also want to use the band for some glute exercises and I don’t want to mess up and choose one that I can’t use because maybe I don’t have that kind of strength…Help me please

Love hearing the research. Most individuals don’t look at the evidence behind the studies and the level of the studies!!
I am planing to buy two bands and to learn street workout skills with them
Very good video, thanks. Nice bow tie but that beard has to go.
I have watched a number of her “technical” explanations and I find them fascinating, but the common theme in them all is listen to your body, see how your body reacts to this or that. Keep a log. I cant stress how important that was when I was just starting out in my teens, 40 years ago. It can be hugely frustrating for a beginner who does not yet know “how to listen, to your body” that’s where a good training partner and a log will help you.
On the shoulder raise try half reps. first half use heavy band. after you’ve done with your first half reps on both sides, go back with a lighter band and do the top half reps.
of Course you can build muscle and you will look more toned. If you want to look big hit the weights. Simple.
As a supplementary, you can check out an article published in February 2019 about this topic: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6383082/
“Conclusion: Evidence from this study suggests that resistance training with elastic devices provides similar strength gains when compared to resistance training performed from conventional devices. These findings allow coaches, physiotherapists, and even patients to opt to use devices with low costs, ease of handling, and which can be used in different places, such as elastic devices, for maintenance and gain in muscular strength.”
i dont feel like its worth it…low gains and high risk of that shit slipping off and slingshotting you or someone in the face…
BEST THING FOR HOME WORKOUT ARE BANDS.����
They are awesome i love them so much because they are simple to you and you can gain great muscle. I love them so much. I got my at trainhome shop (check on google)��
These exercises suck. Mass? Right.. if you want to work your ligaments or some shit
Of course you can gain muscle mass using resistance bands. Resistance is the same thing that weights do, just in a different way. The difference come from stress being greatest at the end of the concentric motion with bands. I’m the other hand it’s greatest at the beginning with weights.
Hey man, thanks for this video and for providing a comprehensive guide on resistance bands. Inspiring content ������
Dumbass, gotta act like a dbag because someone’s question irked him.
For the corona times I have 4 one gallon water jugs with a towel threaded through the handles as a dumbbell. It actually works pretty alright and the towel is comfortable (ish) to hold.
What a fuckin dousche.
You could have tried a few exercises with bands, and have an honest opinion on them. But instead you just put them down for the most part. Sorry meathead, go back to picking up your weights.
So, after weeks of lockdown and no gym I ordered a quality set of resistance bands. I had to try something. I have just tried using these and this was my first routine, and if anyone is in doubts whether to buy a (quality) set let me say, I struggled to complete this. I’m writing this comment the morning after and I have that lovely training ache I’ve so missed. I was sceptical if these would be of any benefit but I really feel like I have had a session. Thanks for your video, even though I only stumbled upon it due to covid19 crisis. I’ve just gone through the rest of your videos and put together routines for back, shoulders, legs, and arms. ��
“…and the more I stretch it, the harder I get!” yeah, we guessed.
So can you build muscle with just bands? I’m still confused.
Sir I have mini resistance bands so how I can do these workouts PLZ help
Can u plzz make a video with blood vessel relations of resistance,elasticity&viscosityy
Thank you for your videos. What is your opinion of SL5X5? Maybe modifying it 1 week a month to a lighter weight with more reps
So glad I was suggested this video. Will spend time watching the rest over the next few days. Thanks
Lol @ “the more I stretch this, the harder I get…” Made my day ��
well i have 5 bands and the lightlest is too light for me so i use two at a time, the light one and the medium one. works for me
>covid starts: gyms closed
>Drunk stepmom starts ruining things at the house
>Move out for a while
>Gyms reopen: city I’m in has no gym
The choice is now to deal with drunkenness and weakness or not get back to the gym yet. Life is tough sometimes.
i love this guy. he made a video telling u to check out someone else instead of stating all their facts
Buy two sets of those 150lb resistance and kits off amazon. Attach all bands to the 2 handles, walk around with a ridiculously large multicoloured band mess, but have 300lbs max resistance in your backpack. That will tide us all over during quarantine! If you can’t gain or maintain off that, you’re a professional powerlifter:)
James, did this workout today, �� them press-Ups, Killer, certainly got a chest pump and Burn. Thanks. ��
Great tips for home workout. But for me only you need at home is resistance band set. Great thing, its simple to use and you dont need to go at gym. I got my at trainhome shop (check on Google) they are awesome.��
Thank you Mr. Garage, you inspired me a lot. This is exactly what I needed. ��������
Bands are best thing some has made. I love them so much because they are simple to use and you can gain some muscle. I got my at trainhome.shop and its awesome.
awesome video! but I looked for the band son the site it says sold out? you know when its gonna be back in stock?
Think about it, it is like using bands on cable flies. Yes, you use a type of band but there is weight behind that force causing a stronger type of resistance!
Bands are excellent simply for maintaining gains while the gym is closed lol
Well as a physiotherapist speaking. Personally i think resistant bands are good for gaining muscles. There are a lot of variations you can do so your brain wont get used to it 😉 especially now in quarantaine its an easy solution to stay healthy and fit!
remember one thing about building muscles…your muscles have no clue what you’re using to build them…whether you use free weights, machines, cables or resistance bands….it’s all a matter of creating enough tension in the muscle and obviously using enough intensity(going to failure or close to it) with bands, it can be harder to get enough resistance to stimulate growth…but it can absolutely be done…if you have the creative mindset….take me for example….my gym is now closed due to this fucking virus….so, first thing I got was some dumbells….now, my arms and shoulders are taken care of…cause that’s what i used at the gym anyway…along with some cables…when it comes to the bigger muscles like chest, back, etc….it’s gets a bit harder to find enough resistance to stimulate growth….I bought this thing called gorilla bow…it’s basically shaped like a bow and arrow, with the bow part being a thick, very strong metal pipe. I also bought 4 90lb resistance bands…the max weight you can use on this bow is 350lbs….i have all 4 bands on this thing, which brings it over to 360. after a few workouts, my strength has built and I now need more weight…so i attached a different type of band…the kind that loops around….that adds another 20 or so lbs…but it also adds resistance at the beginning of the exercise…the point of all this is, if you have the desire, and you’re a bit obsessive, like me…you will find a way to create the needed tension..one way or another…..
Nice video! A friend recommanded me premium quality resistance bands for a cheap price. After using them for 3 months now, I am really grateful and satisfied so I decided to share the link with you guys: @t. Enjoy!
Definitely reading something while saying all this info lol. I dont mind, but you can tell by the way shes talking. Not the knowledge but the way she says the words, for sure reading.
I have been using bands as a main wait to increase muscle mass for awhile and Im so confused
Typical. A 38 minute long video for about 3 minutes of actually doing the exercises thus showing us nothing ultimately. How has this guy got this many views
If anyone is looking for a good set of bands I got some from homeprogym.com and they haven’t snapped and broken my face so far ��
They have been great for me for a good work out. It does make you stronger. I use the gym pro fit because the gym is closed, however I do miss the gym lol
Mr Graze, you are absolutely fantastic
Never thought this all can be done at home
Keep it up ��
Looking forward for more videos
Thanks for the fantastic videos James
I’m jealous of your house man, jeez that place looks like a compound. Congrats on your success
Being a truck driver I needed a way to workout while on the road.
the keys for getting the most out of bands is emphasizing the negative and the peak contraction
Great info….I love my bands but also have dumbbells and a few other things but will definitely incorporate this into my workouts….I cant wait until its safe enough to return to my gym but just because they may open soon, doesn’t mean I will stop participating in your channel….since the gym closures, Ive learned more helpful and useful information from your channel than me just going to my gym for 4 years alone. You’ve really helped me and changed my life in my ways! Thank you so much!!!!
Honestly I was so skeptical of these bands due to all of the marketing they receive but fuck me, you can literally bring an entire gym to your house using a door, this has changed absolutely everything for me, had such a great couple of workouts with them so far.
If stiffer tendons aids in strength gains, is stretching for 30 minutes a day on my off days compromising my ability to increase strength?
Yo @Athlean-X… You got a plagiarizer out there: https://www.fitsimplify.com/how-to-build-muscle-with-resistance-bands/
Wow man, honestly the best chest workout I’ve ever done. I used a medium band and a pair of parallettes for the push ups and it burns!! Thanks for the great content James!
Of course he’s gonna knock resistance bands… He won’t get paid much promoting that
Isnt a rep scheme of 20/15/15 more oriented around endurance? What about size and strength wouldn’t it be better to stick to like 12 reps or so
Its good for ppl who cant do even one pull up…a resistance band will help u get started….i have done it myself…as im a little over wieght….yes never replace barbell and dumbbells with bands…combine them and see better results ☺️����❤️
Yeah but did you get that big in the first place with bands?
James, when are you going to make a DVD? Something like resistance bands for size and strength would be dope!!
Dude Stephi is a savage. Looks solid like my girl Natasha Aughey.
https://youtu.be/0MBftAHe7H0
You don’t mind using them though…
Just finished a complete resistance bands back workout at home. I feel my back muscles were more activated then when I do a barbell or dumbbell based back workout at the gym. First, there is less incentive to cheat and it feels easier to focus on the exercise rather than the equipment.
This video is definitely great! It helps me recall of times when my sister used Custokebon Secrets to lose 18 pounds and enjoy being healthy again! Most people would like to lose fat, but we also need to stay healthy, which is what Custokebon Secrets given.
You candy asses quit worrying about coronavirus and get the hell back to work. Are you guys really dumb enough to believe the liberal media? Do you have your mask on now LOL
Good exercices, but video is way too long for only 4 variations.
James, have you ever tried doing the push ups without wrapping the bands around your shoulders? It is much harder when you wrap the bands around your upper body under your arm pits.. Try it and see how much harder it can be.. Great video!!
https://homeelasticbands.com/
Got these fitness elastic bands from this website, whole seat at a cheap price and I’m loving the quality ��������
Just got my bands today. Its been hard with my gym closed so this video ajd channel was a great find. Keep up the great work!����
thanks a lot i’m using the bands at my boring security job����
Hi James quick questionhow long do these bands generally last if you use them 4-5 times a week?
I have an issue where I need to add more weight to feel it at all without 15-20 reps but I’m light enough that the bands pull me backwards because of the tension. Is there a fix for this?
A good set of bands will be one with hooks on the bands and rings on the handles which allow you to do resistance stacking. This is taking multiple bands of varied resistance and clipping them together. It’s like having a big weight set in a bag. I have a beginners set of bands from Gold’s Gym which have a light, medium and heavy band in them. If you’re just beginning (Like I am at 41.) it’s a great starter set. Don’t discount bodyweight exercise, cardio, or free weights, they all have their place.
I got bands because I live on a boat and it’s the only equipment that I can store easily �� Dropping weights can also be disastrous in my case, I’ve cracked fiberglass dropping weights, and that’s a expensive repair.
Im all for the bands.. the only thing im struggling with is should i buy these or a set of 40-50 dollars different name brand type of bands. I dont know if i want to spend 131 dollars loool.. if anyone can help thanks
As I reach my mid 50s I cant lift without getting injurged anymore. Started on the bands and I am feeling better than anytime in the last 20 years. Thanks for the tip to the band guys website.
I prefer bands to weights, you can control the resistance so when the muscles are too tired you can give it some slack and keep going but with weights once you have exhausted the muscle you have to stop…take a rest or pick up a lighter set. Bands are more variable and more versatile and you can take them anywhere. I’m sure weights are in a class of their own for powerlifting ect but even so I’m sure power lifters use bands too! I would say use a combination of two, as well as calisthenics and sport
So.. I have just bought some of these, but I got the tube ones question is which is better?
Do I always have to train the same side first for the individual exercises?..so for example first 3 sets of 15 repetitions with the right arm and then 3 sets with the left arm? And if so, how many seconds break between the sets?
Or can I do the sets alternately with my right and left arm, so that the unused arm has a break during each?
I would appreciate an answer 😉
Great video series. Keep it up!:)
With only resistance bands u can get muscle and get ripped plus all those movements core acction improves ur martial arts raw power plus skills. Be a warrior not a chicken buff punching bag ��
check this workout out its unreal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBk1oaXLz20
Just increase the exercise as you progress…Christ that’s all they had say ������������
Wow, a lot more in-depth than I expected. I thought you were just going to say do your 5×5 heavy main compounds lol. Good video!
Very timely for me, as I have added bands to my workout. For me, it’s a matter of finding a sensible, yet challenging routine. I liked the distance analogy… I’ll need to pay attention to that variable. Excellent job, Laurence!
Tried this out today. One of the best chest workouts I’ve ever had. It something about the bands that makes it click for me, I find where I’m able to connect to the right muscle and really feel it! Great vid. Totally subscribed for more!
Look at the strength developed in traditional strand pulling. These exercises are superb for movements that can’t be done with weights. Overhead pulldowns improve stability in overhead pressing.
Tired of being a skinny and thin? Do people laugh at your stick arms and legs? Well, let’s show those losers what you can do! You CAN absolutely build dense muscle in a matter of a few months. I DID!
Jeff you’re always my go to guy for anything fitness related. Also your lower back video really help me release my pressure and pain for my lower back! Awesome stuff and keep going at it!
Just got mine today. Sadly I got home super late from work so I only had a chance to give them a check but it is very apparent that the resistance is real.
You’ve been a real star James during lockdown. Really useful information and encouragement.
Finally a video by a foot soldier who has walked the challenging path, eloquently articulating the physiological responses relating to physical exercise. A no thumb suck article. As we say in Soweto to give a thumbs up…”Tjovitjo”
I got a pair a week ago so I can stay in shape during the Corona lol. They have worked well so far but I can’t wait to go back to actual dumbbells. These worked great for me and seem to be the best value out of the 2 different sets I got. https://amzn.to/2W52Nek I think they’re also on sale
Nice physique. This is my dream body. I want to be a good example for my children. Thanks for the tips.
Nice Tie!!!
I hear Elite FTS has the best bands. I been using them a few weeks. Good so far.
Hi there.
Thank you for great inspiration and information in your videos. I have been doing strenght-training with weights, kettlebells, bodyweight, big tires, sleges and more for years. Recently my joints have started to fuck things up though (had surgery in shoulder from damage gotten in the army, and my hip is probably next.). I have tried a little with some resistancebands now, and feel like this kind of resistance is kinder to my joints, and I just bought the UnderSun band kit. Looking forward to starting with some propper bands. �� Again, thank you for great inspirarion. ��
Full upper body workout please:), thank you for all your videos!
Did not expect this kind of quality, will be following and watching more of your videos. Smart girl.
Really struggling to keep that band across my back during push ups
Just did this, can’t feel my chest. You are awesome James, thanks. Need to sign up to your program if this is how it is…
I like how this guy teaches. My bands arrive tomorrow and I can’t wait.
Have you a link for your pec workout video please. The one where you use a band instead of flies.
Hey, Ive got some band options to choose from, could you possibly help? I would want something like 25kg. There is 4-25kg, 14-23kg and also 18-36kq, but I do not know the ranges. I am aiming for large muscle area workouts.
Great explanation and advice. I do think you could add the principle of overload and when on understands this fully bands become great equalizer. Remember the word fit when applying overload f. Frequency I intensity ant t time if we combine the three parts of overload by remembering the word fit you are on your way. Bands are great if used properly I have increased my frequency by working the muscles 5 days a week and with bands this is ok I have increased time under tension with each set by doing slow reps of 22 for each exercise. 22 equals 40 to 60 sec under tension!! My I or intensity is increased already by applying the F and the T. I have been training this way for 2 months and I am sold on it and have dropped my gym membership.I could go on and on about bands be patient with them and do the research and the research ca start at this channel he does a great job explaining and demonstrating bNd workouts.
As gym instructor I just now during the pandemic, discovered how effective are these pieces of rubber. At least 90 proc of weights exercises I can convert to resistance bands exercises. Literally gym in my pocket. By the way I can hear that you hate cardio bro 😉
Gym is closed don’t know when they will open back. but I got mine at ahgequipment.com
i actually perfure bands, i use to use free weights ( and i still do for squats and rows ) but i have been getting much better results from bands, it also helps that they are super mobile so on long work days or days i cant hit the gym i can still get reps in.
I also find that i get a much more even work out in both arms and it atleast seems like im hitting more muscle groups.
They just need to make better quality ones
Ahhh! Looks sooo good! �� I can’t wait to do this one! Did your One Hour Total Body today though! Did you find this challenging enough for the lower body? I have several of those bands in different weights… should I just have them on hand?
I get you have to explain your workouts but you explain way to much sometimes. Just get to the workout and make the videos shorter…. no one wants to sit thru 40 minutes of a workout video just to see different variation of resistance bang workouts. You have a market that can grow right now. Make it more interesting and less information.
Great workout! Followed along with you for the full thing and it whooped my tail! Doing a back workout with you tonight.
Having trouble finding a band to use at home? Looking for American Made bands that will last? You should check out Fitcords.. Covers, safe, strong, long-lasting and made in America
I actually made more gains with resistance bands than with weights, I think it’s because of the large increase in total volume
Oh man…. awesome workout but this is my new cheat circuit workout. Thanks james this was what I needed since lol this corona closed gyms here in hawaii I been looking for. Perfect cheat resistance band workout
By far the most informative fitness video I’ve ever watched.
I always seem to be training for everything all at once? But my thing is hiking with heavy loads 20kg+
so I train once a week with a pack hitting up every steep hill I can find, I do this to keep my edges sharp on the carrying front this means when I go for a hike I can relax & enjoy it rather then thinking about my burning shoulders & painful back.
I also train for cardio fitness because my wind is not good for some reason & it never seems to get any better? then lastly I try to train some weights & strength for a look & overall well being.
I find it hard to set up a training plan as I do not train in gyms, I train outside or at home.
Any ideas on training without all the fancy gym equipment would be useful please.
The gladiators of old seemed to be all manner of fit strong & buff without a cable machine in sight!
Quick question. Would you consider doing an anchored flat & decline too or no need?? It just crossed my mind as that’s what I’m used to doing when at the gym. Cheers for the videos, they are great. Keep up the great work & keep safe:)
Yes, I’ve gotten more arm and back gains from bands then I ever have with weights.
Hey James, I’m really glad you did failure reps or whatever you want to call it because that makes me feel better since an advanced guy like you does that it doesn’t matter if I do it as a beginner! Love your content! Thanks!
