Build a Big Chest with Bands (NO WEIGHTS!)

Quick question on cross over push ups, my OCD wouldnt allow me to do this without switching sides to also do the other arm in the band. Then essentially do 10 left arm band rest 10 right arm band repeat for 40 total back and forth twice. Redundant or "what ever feels right, do it" kind of thing?

Are you saved? If not, "REPENT YE, AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL." THE GOSPEL (which means the Good News) is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us, Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 KJV He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT. John 20:28-29 KJV And Thomas answered and said unto him, MY LORD AND MY GOD. [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell? Acts 16:30-31 KJV ...what must I do to be saved?

[9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. [10] If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Luke 24:47 KJV And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

Here’s the thing. kzbin.infoUgkxS7ex6L4sMqpaTn4LnBPyBmRQsSingL8y These are not meant to be stretched to 12ft or 14ft or whatever else where you’re a 6ft person, stepping in the band and trying to do standing shoulder presses. If they tear, (assuming they’re not defective) then you’re trying to stretch them way too far. For a full body stretch, bands should be like three feet long, doubled over. Don’t buy the bad press. A fully extended reverse fly is avoid as far as you should stretch these. If it’s too easy, use more than one band at a time.Not rocket science.

[@akashmakkar7187]

The bands Jeff is using are 41 inches in length, and then if you triple them, that's 123 inches, and remember, they loop, so overall circumference will be around 20 feet. If someone is 6 feet tall, hands pressed up would make them slightly over 7 feet tall, add in 2 feet gap in between the feet and the hands, and that becomes 7+7+2+2 = 18 feet. Still under 20 feet max 3x stretch of the band.

Thank you for the videos on how to properly use the bands, I’ve been watching your series for years and they have been absolutely instrumental in helping me not only get back into shape but get into better shape than ever before. I’ve struggled for years with finding a routine that was both effective and actually made feel the burn properly afterwards. I also have issues with my shoulders, years of accumulated injury’s to both of my shoulders from working with heavy equipment on the job and bad form and techniques have taken a toll on them. I’m currently recovering from another shoulder injury that I suffered while at work, I’m close to fully recovering though and your resistance band series has proven extremely helpful. I’ve used bands in the past but after watching your series I didn’t realize how many ways you could apply them, they have turned into a new staple tool in my training regime. I travel for my job and I’m on the road almost 90% of the year, these bands and your videos have really saved my sanity. I’m going to be 45 this year and I can feel the years, the bands combined with my kettlebells have given me a lot of new opportunities to train effectively and not sacrifice any of my progress. Thank you for all you have done and please continue with the videos, maybe if you get the chance you can put together a short series on kettlebells. That would be extremely helpful too. Thank you once again.

[@markrny5183]

I'm using bands because my gym's still closed. Heavy bands can be tougher than weights! Try doubling up a 175 lb band and doing pushups--just regular pushups. Then, add a thinner band. As with weights, this can go on indefinitely to add resistance. I see a big improvement in mass and strength. Another thing--I'm using a 125LB band for 1 armed overhead presses. Good thing about the band is, although I can't get it to full extension, I can HOLD it for ten seconds at the point of failure. You can't do this with dumbbells. If you can't press it, you have to immediately bring it down. Right now, I'm using both bands and dumbbells-each compliment the other, Compared to the band, the 60lb dumbbells I have go up like a feather. That wasn't the case before. This might be the one good thing to come out of the WuFlu debacle. Sly's right!

These are incredible, new workouts for me. I've never been able to work all parts of the chest with such precision

[@austinsmith9911]

Decied to get back into normal routine,(after dealing with a certain flu..) since the beginning of the year... This was a lifesaver, thank ya jeff.

[@rounakbiswa]

Jeff's chests can make their own KZbin channel.

[@aidansteller620]

It’s only a matter of time before one of Jeff’s biceps explodes

[@mathieuashanghai]

Jeff thank you so much for this series. I bought some bands and started to use some of your exercises in my routine. Basically, I superset a barbell/dumbell exercice with a band exercice. Incredible blast and pump after every workout!

[@Kiwi13311]

Here after applying one of shoulder band exercises to workout from jeff and seeing massive results and now watching all the band series to get more of those gains really greatful for the usefull content jeff thanks

[@jakeandsarahhealthnuts3299]

Saw, cross over pushup with band, band over back pushup, use band for a bench press, wrap around press (your inside the band), band over pullover (focus on adduction), prone punchout (hits upper chest), dips, cavaliere cross over,

[@GY9944]

That moment when I don’t have something sturdy enough to anchor the bands on at home fml

[@JustKaru_]

Door handle might work. If you need it low, slipping the band under the door with a sturdy cylindrical item (like a dumbbell or a chair sitting back to back by the door with the band grabbing both of the chair's legs. Add heavy things on the seat to prevent the band from slipping under the chair) on the other side of the door to prevent the band from slipping back out. Keep the door closed. This depends how thick the band is, but chances are you should be able to slip them under. Or you can make your own anchor.

[@GY9944]

@@JustKaru_ good idea. I went with the stands of the bed - it’s thick and stocky so should be relatively sturdy. I think that should do it for the movements with low-anchored bands. Thanks for the advice though

[@alep4578]

@@GY9944 You might try outside, a tree perhaps. Be careful the tree (or whatever) surface is not too rough. The friction between the band and the surface will tear the rubber. It happened to me. So maybe use a towel (or something soft) the "mitigate'' the friction.

[@haugehartung9363]

[@ca6koto0]

I wrapped the band around the handles of a cloth shopping bag and tied the bag itself into a thick knot. Put the knot behind a door and close the door. The handles of the bag will slide in the thin space between the door and the frame.

[@ShuriK182]

This is simply amazing! I have been doing some of the exercises for couple of weeks and I feel great.

[@skippss01]

I always forget that celebrities are people just like the rest of us and they probably follow some of the same KZbin channels that I do.

[@hazzardgr712]

How can you forget celebrities are people 😂

This video is great! Had hernia surgery and use lighter bands to go through the workouts. Each month my doctor is increasing my resistance. Seeing this video inspired me. Thanks

[@johnconnell1675]

I’ve used bands on/off for a few years but thanks to your videos Jeff, I’m having the best band workouts of my life!

[@ShaheenEmerson]

Thinking it was a filter.......till half way through his speech “rah...that’s Stallone!”

Definitely like this series, looked all over for good band exercises but couldn’t find much. I’m just getting into training so I think training longevity would also be a good topic

tell you wat i started using bands for a year now and i see my results better than weights and i can train at home with no mess at a gym and bulky equipment thanks for doing more band training....

[@michaelinsua6047]

@athleanx This is a fantastic video. I workout at home and I'm slowly collecting equipment but I do have bands. Just ordered a second set so I can do crossovers. I can't express enough appreciation for the quantity and quality of these videos.

[@SHRoy-ei5ky]

Jeff, please a video on a workout(not just corrective exercises) that I could do if I have APT and rounded shoulders (hump).

[@illadeligut]

Been using bands for 2 years and watched tons of vids and even bought some programs. This is your first band vid and this chest info is better than anything I've seen. Thanks

[@ericstieg570]

this is awesome. I'm 50 and use bands and weights and find the bands so much better for the undue stress heavy weights can produce. TYVM!

[@dezmondnewton7812]

I just want to say I appreciate the help you give us and I can’t wait see some for shoulders, biceps, and back!!! Thanks boss! Keep doing it big!! ✊🏽

I have no idea how Jeff keeps coming up with new and fresh content. I’m new to KZbin and I’m already running out 😂😂😂😂 jk love Jeffs content 🔥🔥

[@messillama2979]

Love this new band series! Here in newfoundland we had a out break and put us back in alert lever 5 so now I only have bands! This is super helpful thanks Jeff!

[@redboar7336]

You also have your body. Check the bodyweight series too. Using both is pure health in a way weight training will never be.

[@jeremylhommedieu2042]

Been using bands at home since the pandemic shut gyms down. Love them!

[@anindyaaikat1998]

Since my son was born in 2018 my schedule has been very unpredictable so I couldn't go to the gym everyday. I bought a set of bands and started working out exclusively with them at home. I cannot tell you how much of a marvel they are! I think they're the best invention when it comes to fitness. I get a complete workout with them at my pace anywhere. When I travel I just put them in my suitcase and I got my whole gym with me

[@brionesmusic]

I just got a set, so this is perfect timing. Thank you!

Jeff I live in Palm Beach, FL and always followed Sly since he moved here. Glad you decided to make a video on resistance band training after I mentioned his post to you.

I found that crossing the band at your back stops it sliding off your shoulder like it did with Jeff in this video. Also I bought a couple of soft bicycle hand grips and split them to save my hands.

The creativeness of your band exercises never ceases to amaze me Jeff… My absolute no.1 go-to. Your vids plus my 3 resistance bands have single handily got me into great shape within 3 weeks, and all from the comfort of my living room and no gym. PS:- Would love to know what resistance range your red band in this video is? Or where I could buy that exact one? Any details on this would be great👍🏽
