Awesome At-Home Back Workout Using Resistance Bands

Honestly, this comment should have been highlighted. It surely helped me a lot. I had to stick with alternative exercises aside to using house properties. I will say it once more, it helped me a lot. (Note: I had to improvise my resistance bands to using recycled bike tubes)

[@paulbrereton4137]

Couldn't agree more. To think for the longest time I thought bands provided an inferior workout. Could not have been more wrong.

[@unicornblood9046]

agree

[@hisss]

I really love how you make sure to speak slowly and to enunciate clearly, and use no music. It helps a lot when English is not one's native language, more so when learning a lot of new terms. One thing making getting into fitness hard for me as an absolute beginner is not understanding all the jargon yet. And at my age, learning simply is harder than it was when I was 20. Loved the tip to try an exercise the wrong and right ways first to feel the difference, that will really help in learning all those moves, which for a beginner can be overwhelming. Also, your style makes it easier for me, as an autist, to stay focused. So, thank you for not rushing, thank you for not being loud, thank you for keeping distraction to a minimum.

[@slytherine373]

Yes this

[@scitec09]

I live in a small apartment on the second floor. Having 2000-4000 pounds of weights up here is out of the question. But, resistance bands, yeah... I can do that. I've been using bands for nine months, and I've gained more muscles with them in that time span than I have with weights in the past 43 yrs. I've received more insight from your research on bands that have aided me in my weight training. I appreciate the time you put into you videos, and look forward to seeing more in the future. Keep up the good work... and thanks.

[@nawaal4452]

Your comment made me order a set of resistance bands from Amazon!

Facts. I second that.

[@JeagerGray]

bands are incredible if you use them the proper way

Im using it for 3weeks and Im getting better result and it get me target specific muscle area easily without loosing the tension. Gotta admit but its really better than weights for me. And most of all i can maintain my workout posture longer without injury than those weights.

Thank you James for your help explaining band training. I have gone back to the gym at 72 years old. I had lost the mind muscle connection and was struggling. Since using bands as a warmup before lifting heavy I am achieving brilliant results. Thanks to you and your bands and your explanation of body mechanics, something I had long forgotten. All the best for you in your future endeavours, I shall keep watching as you tell it like it is. Thank you. John Upton, Tasmania.

Simply the best James.your knowledge ,communication skills ,and demonstrations are second to none on KZbin.please keep these fantastic videos coming as I think your on to something big here.i love mixing Calithenics and resistance band training together down my local park,and already people are blown away by what you can actually do with bands,and already some have told me there buying some bands themselves now.not only do bands provide resistance but they also provide assistance and without them I never would have achieved the muscle up which I can now do completely band free.your the man,keep em coming and greetings from London England.

I've been using tube style Resistance bands all my life and recently purchased a set of undersun resistance bands and I can strongly attest that they are way better than tube bands. As I am writing this my quads and hamstrings are really sore from a leg workout yesterday something I haven't felt for a while when I was using tube bands. His TA2 is really convenient for people like me who travel a lot not to mention that the bands are super convinient when it comes to packing. Over all a great product.

[@jacobgarrison4531]

Training with bands is fantastic! I've been using the under sun bands and doing your workouts for a few months, it's amazing. I can use better form and get a better workout then I ever did with weights. Finally a fitness plan I enjoy and can stick to. When it's a band you can do anywhere the excuses fall away.

I revisited this channel about 8 months later of doing consistent band heavy workouts at home. I can honestly say I took most of my inspiration from Grange! Thanks for what you do man, I hope it pays you well.

[@StephenAKatz]

I love the close-ups, so that you can't see the athlete doing the movement. That really makes a lot of sense. I think whoever made this video thought that she could charge more for it if she strung together a lot of close-ups that just cut off the athlete and prevent the viewer from seeing him. Then the video-maker thought she could charge more for all those annoying shots, instead of just resting the camera showing the athlete's full body and the bands, so that the viewer could see how the athlete works with the bands.

[@MarcoRuschkowski]

Your tips on form are just fantastic. Honestly, it feels like in every one of your videos I have at least one "Oh my God, WTF" moment. In which I realize why I was struggling with a certain movement or muscle just because my form was (sometimes just slightly) off.

[@sl7722]

Thank you for the tips, James! 10 of your videos gave me more info , on strengthening, than 1 year in the gym.

Did you get the bands and do you like them. Lock down so no gym or trainers

[@cbodsworth]

@@tarreemhacaruso2687 i really enjoy them. Been working out for about 20 years, and these are a very functional way of training. I feel like bands workout the tendons and ligaments in a way most other routines cannot. Its very cost effective also. I have noticed that i have a lot more energy and speed, over doing something like heavy sandbags that would have me exhausted for a few days. If you are not into the idea of bands you could try indian clubs, sandbags, mace, or kettlebells for an alternative for home workouts, they all have pros and cons depending on your goals. For those sorts of things i usually go to onnit.com but i have been on straight bands since nov 1st and have no complaints. Shipping is way way cheaper for bands over stuff like kettlebells.

[@tarreemhacaruso2687]

@Cameron Bodsworth I was heavy into fitness at one time so I have kettlebells and other bands weights and stuff. I did a lot of stuff from home at one time and then joined a gym when I wanted to start lifting heavy. I had a little one almost three years ago and giving birth wrecked havoc on my body. I decided last month to start working out and my body has started changing immediately. But my workouts are wiping me out. Plus I get bored quickly. I stumbled upon James Grage and I liked the bands for variation. Plus I don’t feel as wiped with the small bands I have even though I love my dumbbells. I’m impressed with his use of the bands. I think I’m going to purchase them. Thanks for the website link. I appreciate it.

Thank you. Very helpful. I didn't think about doing lat pull downs and rows with the circular bands like that and I had a great workout just testing out these methods.
