Training With Resistance Bands | Best Tips & Tricks

[@JamesGrage]

Thinking about future videos.....What are some resistance band questions that you have?

[@rvb4212]

On the bands itself: - How long do they last? (I read about 1 year) - Maximum stretch of a band? - Did a band ever snap? On pull excercises: The strength curve for pull Excercises are not ideal for resistance bands, as it gets harder the closer you get to your body. Any tips on this? I was thinking about taking a lighter band and pre-stretching, so there is less variability?

[@matthewg.garcia9415]

Thanks for your videos James! I originally bought a set of the power band style like the ones you sell to do assisted pull ups because I'm terrible at pull ups and wanted to get better. Eventually I want to use them for resisted pull ups when I get stronger at them! You can either loop them inside themselves to the pull up bar like you did to the door anchor, and put you knees inside, or you can string the band across a large cage style weight rack on a barbell rest if it has multiple rests kinda like a belt, put your knees on top, and use them that way to help with your pull ups. I hope I'm making sense! Just a thought for your videos!!

[@RenatIlyasov]

It would be interesting to see positive effects of RBT in terms of strength development results measured in the three powerlifting movements.

[@rvb4212]

@@RenatIlyasov I love deadlifting with bands, by stacking them up you can go pretty "heavy". Benchpress should work if you work with a bench. Not so sure about squats with multiple bands/heavy resistance.

[@RenatIlyasov]

@@rvb4212 the bench is roughly substituted by resistance bands push ups (along with some obvious additional benefits of push ups over the flat BP). The question is how well do the RB push ups replace the BP in terms of developing strength in the movement.

[@TheReadymantoday]

I can't wait I just ordered my resistance bands I actually tried the 3X resistance bans which was $580. I did not like it for that amount of money and what I did was I sent it back with a total of $30 for shipping to California. I will be happy to get these under $200!

[@HeadCannonPrime]

Extra-Pro tip: If you have to do anchor from the open side of the door, try to anchor it on the HINGE side of the door. There is a lot of extra hardware to pull against and almost no chance that the door will come open. (most doors have enough room to squeeze a foam pad through when fully open)

[@dsp4392]

Not only can you take bands to the moon, but they're just as effective out there, unlike free weights which loose their effectiveness as gravity lowers.

[@matsuwd-emethdaath4002]

Good point.lol

[@PrayingWarfare]

No gravity on the moon.

[@sharky2606]

never even thought about that

[@sharky2606]

@@PrayingWarfare you don't need gravity to use resistance bands, and btw, while the moon has less gravity than earth, it's still a massive object with a gravitational pull.

[@PrayingWarfare]

@@sharky2606 Well, true, but 2 anchor points instead of 1 on the moon.

Hey James, I'm a woman , who's been working out with weights, for 34 years. 4 months ago, I stopped using weights, and bought several kinds of flat bands. I get a much better workout, and my strength has significantly increased, even my grip strength. I use an old motorcycle helmet bag, to store them in. I love flat bands!! You're a good teacher, and you know that you should listen your body, to determine your workout, not numbers. The positive results show up in your body. Thanks a bunch, for your videos. You helped me get started with flat bands, and now I'm hooked. 🙂

[@JamesGrage]

Thank you for the feedback! Glad I can help!

[@HerveAttia]

Agreed. The amount of workout you can get with resistance band is as much as equivalent as free weight in a fitness center. Love that you can workout anywhere. Easy to pack. Lightweight. This is a game changer.

[@harrisonbohorquez322]

I’ve been working out for a couple of weeks with these resistance bands, and they’re awesome. I now feel a lot more fibers being activated in my muscles, which I’ve never felt by working out with free weights. I now understand the concept of constant resistance in all movement planes. I love the amount of possibilities that you have when it comes to adjusting the level of resistance for each exercise. It doesn’t matter when gyms will open up again. I literally just cancelled my membership. Best of all, I can do any workout from home, or when I go to the beach with my friends and family, I use to miss those moments because I preferred to go to the gym. Now I can do both activities together and take my “portable gym” everywhere with me.

[@fabianmolina7089]

Marine Corps veteran and current law enforcement here and gotten the best workouts possible out of these videos. Thanks for all the info James and keep up the good work. Really appreciated

[@davidk6269]

I have been seriously working out for almost 40 years with free weights, cable machines and exercise bands/tubes. In my experience, James Grage gives very honest, useful, no-nonsense exercise advice. What he says lines up very well with my own experience. He is someone worth listening to and learning from.

[@jeffkelly6580]

I am so glad I found RBT on KZbin. Two years ago I plunked down a wad of cash for X-3, and know the value of resistance bands. Now I see the advantage of working without the bar, and turning my wrists to squeeze out the last bit of resistance. Thank you for these excellent videos, and your very informative coaching. I am a 78 year old geezer and thanks to band training am in the top tier of my age group for physical fitness.

[@jeffhicks24]

Great info James. My wife and I have been using the bands for the last three weeks. Excellent workouts. So many variations and options. She has actually started looking forward to working out since we go outside and complete our workouts at home. Thanks for your content and giving people options. As I have gotten older, the ability to get a good workout and protect my joints, tendons and ligaments is where I place value. Be blessed and continue your vision to health and wellness.

[@JamesGrage]

Hey Jeff! Thank you for the awesome feedback my friend!

Same, my job is 100% travel, I live out my luggage. Normal pushups only do so much.

[@tripull3]

Hey James Just a note I’ve also noticed that my grip strength has improved considerably since using the bands Compared to free weights Added bonus Thanks for the vid 👍👍

[@carrieknoth4346]

I agree. I'm getting up in age and the bands have made a huge difference in grip strength and comfort. I was skeptical at first but the bands are becoming my go to.

[@DarkArachnid666]

5:14 And the really cool thing is that, unlike traditional weights, resistance bands don't lose resistance when you use them on the Moon.

[@drs2328]

Your channel is great James!I have been using bands for about 2 yrs. now and have gained a lot of muscle mass from using them.Great to see someone bringing to light the benefits of the bands.I have friends that workout constantly and they cant believe that is all that i use.(besides kettlebell swings)

I've been a nomad for the last 4 years, couldn't work out anymore I thought. 2 months training with bands now and I'm hooked. I love every aspect of it and I feel a little bit like a beginner again as there are little tricks that make bands so effective. Thanks James!

[@JamesGrage]

Hey my friend. Yeah I know a lot of people don't take bands seriously, but they are a seriously effective tool for building muscle. Next month will be 2 years of using bands exclusively.

[@TheOxIshere]

Bands are one of the most underrated pieces of fitness equipment. Most of my routine are bands and I haven't lost not one ounce of muscle. Super powerful and less injury prone. I haven't been in a gym in years. It's like an ancient relic at this point.

[@rodrigosouto9502]

Are just maintaining your muscles mass with bands or gaining muscles? Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that bands are optimal for maintain mass and free weights are optimal for gaining mass

Good stuff, James!!! I have tube style bands. So, I take the handles off and do your style 20-10-10-15, and it really is awesome. Using tubes or bands is way better than not doing anything. Thanks for the your insights and techniques.

[@RonConsumer]

After 40 years of powerlifting, my poor body has taken its abuse... I just got these bands and LOVE them you cannot beat these and talk about a workout. I thought I got a good workout when I was lifting pig iron but let me tell you... you will get a better workout in a shorter period of time by far. Plus you can take this where ever you go... no need to look for a gym or use the hotel's gym if they even have one. Plus at my age who cares about numbers, it's about the workout.

[@JamesGrage]

Hey Ron! That's awesome feedback brother! I'm glad you're loving the workouts. Like you said, it's amazing how effective bands are.

[@deanwaller8283]

Yup after 36 years under the iron myself and as an over 50 lifter?,I've recently come to appreciate band training,anyone that thinks they don't hit as hard as free weights?doesn't know a damn thing I've got tricep tendonitis in my left arm,tennis elbow in my right arm, shoulder injuries that are older than my eldest son,and these have totally changed the way I train,can't recommend them highly enough Though I still.use kettlbells for legs (Bulgarian split squat and reverse lunges) bands have taken over almost my entire upper body work

[@RonConsumer]

@@deanwaller8283 I hear you brother.

[@deanwaller8283]

@@RonConsumer yep, I loved the iron, but it's left me so beaten up my joints just can't take the pounding anymore, even weighted callesthenics are beating me up, these things have been a real godsend man

[@RonConsumer]

@@deanwaller8283, Unfortunately, we all get to that age eventually when our joints just can no longer take the pounding they once did even on 8-week cycles and tearing all the weights back down to the light sets for 4-weeks and jumping back up to the heavy (which comes around quickly I might add... lol) With these bands that James has brought to the market I actually get not only a better workout but I can hit the muscle from different angles just by making slight adjustments. I've used cables like James has indicated I think we all started there but the problem I had was switching out those damn plastic handles when increasing tension of the bands which I seemed to break at least once every 2 months. After I had one handle practically explode that was it for me. But with these bands, I can add as many as I need to increase the tension. However, just because you think you handle more tension does not mean you will have good form. So while I am accustomizing myself to these bands I keep enough tension to where I have good form but very close to failure on my last reps.

[@tonymobbs7738]

just brought my first set of bands in the hope of getting a bit of exercise at work as my work is sitting down on my butt. i have looked at different videos on youtube and hours of free time on websites but this 20 minute video is by far the most comprehensive bit of information on how to use these ...thank you for all the information!- concider me liked , and subscribed and i even clicked the bell icon...

Trying to make myself a home gym to start a fitness journey. I was ready to invest hundreds of dollars to get set up with a minimal free weight set up. I am excited I found you channel because I feel like now I can get away with a pullup bar, some gymnastics rings, resistance bands and some sandbags. The resistance bands were the ticket item here that filled the need for a ton of gear. My wife and I just had our first baby and its time for me to get active and be there for the new adventures with the family. Wish me luck!

You take the time to explain everything possible so that it becomes so much easier to execute them

[@jmlr5190]

[@JamesGrage]

JM LR 👊 thank you!

[@HammerSmashedFace92]

Another great video idea. Which would probably convince more people that this is another great choice for working out. Is to make a side by side or a machine/freeweights substitute video with the bands. Like how to do lat pulldows machine/bands. Skullcrushers with barbell/bands. A simple video in how to set up the bands to do the exact same exercises that you would in a gym. But with bands. Like a catalogue of every weight exercise along side its equivalent with bands.

[@JamesGrage]

That's a great idea! Very good suggestion for future videos!

Could you do a glute training workout video?

[@leakyabstraction]

What I particularly liked in this video doesn't even have to do anything with resistance bands; it was the recognition of how fluctuating your workout experience can be. I started to train in my teenage years, and honestly never experienced steady, consistently increasing strength or volume capacity; there are so many factors that influence our performance. A lot of people make it sound like you can just expect to continually increase your weights or do more reps in each workout. And then when you have different experiences you get frustrated and you question yourself. We aren't actually that good in timing the concentric and eccentric parts of the repetitions to begin with, so the time under tension can vary quite a bit with the same reps. We simply aren't robots. It's much more fruitful to focus on fatiguing as many muscle fibers as we can, with time under tension in the ballpark for ideal hypertrophy.

[@mollywillo]

@@ohioguy727 I'm glad I tried this different type of training! It's not my favorite but I think it's good to add to your repertoire, especially if you have to travel or really don't have access to gym equipment. I'd be interested in trying some of their other programs; I know there's one with more cardio/hiit stuff blended in and that sounds more like my preferred style of training. I did just the basic program and as a woman, I found it disproportionately focused on upper body. There are 4 days of upper body and only one day of legs each week. There is also a lot less variety than I had imagined; within any of the given months in the program, all the weeks are the same exercises, and the lower body is the same throughout the whole 90 days. I'm disappointed with the repetition and the fact that they don't teach more ways to use the bands for lower body, but in the program's defense, it is a strength training program, so the fact that they teach you a set of core moves which you then repeats isn't inappropriate. I might try their other program and see how it goes!

Strength and tone are actually better with the bands. My only problem area is the long bicep muscle...need to take another look at your bands arm video. I'm 54, looking through the comments I see you've got that demographic solidly behind you. Probably because we've learned not to aggravate injury and to be aware of the movements that create injury. Bands have sooo lowered the muscle pulls, etc AND have really strengthened all those peripheral muscles that stabilize and support. Keep it up man, I gotta get ready to go play soccer!

Everything that you can do with loop-style bands, you can do with tube-style bands as well. You can choke up on the tube-style bands after removing the handles and carabiner clips. I prefer the tube-style bands because with the handles the pressure is even at the center of your hand, not all on just one side of your hand.

[@mochadust9]

Your videos are really motivating! I learned alot from you! Thank you!

[@ParaPhilosopher]

James, I sometimes like to just loop the entire band through the door attachment rather than tying it off in that knot. It allows double resistance for each arm. Again another way of adding resistance to your band training. You can also do the same thing by stepping on top of the entire band, rather than stepping inside the loop, pretty much like you were doing with the side lateral raises, except you use both arms at once instead of just one side at a time. I know this is a little confusing but it is just like when you were doing your bicep and tricep workout video in your warehouse a few years back, using the metal racks as an anchor point (rather than a door with a door attachment). I also have a set of hook handles that I like to use (you can google The Hook) that work beautiful for this type of training, instead of just using your hands, which is ok too. The Hook handles just make the exercises a bit more comfortable. Thanks for the great videos.

[@berndmuffe5681]

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.

Hi man, i am enjoining this series a lot! Could you answer a quick question: How can i prevent bands to break?

[@JamesGrage]

Thales Souza Freire hey my friend. Bands should last a long time as long as you follow a few precautions. The first is making sure that you never anchor them against anything rough or sharp. Natural latex is very durable as far as stretching but they can get damaged easily from sharp surfaces. The other thing you want to do is keep them dry and out of the sun when storing them.

[@sea_low7627]

Your videos are helpful and I’ve started to use them for my main body parts work outs. Thanks. In one your videos you described the bands gloves you use and why these. I can’t find it in your videos.

[@michaelpemberton592]

[@regprofant6984]

You can go on hinge side as hinge will stop sliding

Hi James, I bought your Undersun bands and the Build app program. I’m in the last few weeks of month 3 and wondering where I should go after this. Can I do a reverse pyramid with your bands or should I go back to free weights for 3 months before going back to the bands? Thank you

[@JamesGrage]

Hey Ken. So the best thing to do is go back to the beginning of Month 2, when the "anchored exercises" kick in. You can repeat Month 2 & 3. One trick that I like on sets 2 (your first set of 10) is to do an explosive concentric, then do a full 1-second isometric and a 3-second eccentric (negative). This will give you a solid 4+ seconds of TUT, and will really maximize your contractions.

[@superdoggie607]

with dumbbells u can use it forever. with band u need to replace it every couple months right?
