I miss the early resistance band workouts with commentary, my favorites were the one he did inside a warehouse and the one he did next to the truck loading bays.

[@CaptainCowboy476]

I do like the input. Very good advice. I also like the recommendation of set reps you use. And the idea I have prescribed to forever we are all different not one best for everyone

[@ramlallsingh]

I only do two sets of 6-10 with heavy weights. That works perfect for me!

[@jim073]

These are good tips. I only use resistance bands. and I stumbled upon a similar format independently. And I also do for sets. Set 1 is high Reps to feel out. Up the resistance on two and three. And push set 4 close to failure

James sorry to bug you with this question. But your channels helped me so much with training trt and so on... i was curious if you take finasteride at all? And if so what is your dose? Im think of starting it. Thank you

[@Micarunwithme]

Great stuff here

[@benwilson7597]

James but how much time between sets? That’s a key variable. I can perform way different depending on rest. TIA

[@validus5808]

Bigger movements 3 min Isolation 1 min

[@kevinwittenauer6892]

Good info

So!how do u find 1 rep max with resistance bands

[@chelseaford8517]

When doing 3 sets of 10, around the 2nd rep I notice I can’t get to 10. There are times I get to 7 and I feel myself dropping on strength. I was told if I do one rep then I can do another rep, I ended up hurting myself because I was done, but my spotter said I had more and made me do another rep. Is that normal? He said I got hurt because of my form, but I think u got hurt from over doing it. He said I’m just a quitter. I’m looking for pro advice so I don’t injure myself

So as heavy as you can with 12-20 with good form. The heavier you go, the more resistance you'll have.

[@winstonsmith11]

But tempo matters, too. Slower tempo means more time under tension. That creates more intensity without increasing load. It's not always about the weight.

[@RuffianoTV]

@winstonsmith11 Right but the heavy weight will cause you to go slower.

[@winstonsmith11]

​@@RuffianoTV Sure. It can. But you can also deliberately go slower with less weight.

[@ChristopherFroome-ih1uo]

Start at 50% of you 1 rep max and work slower and practice squeezing the muscle
