![How To Use [ Resistance Bands ] | 🏆 Best Beginners Guide By 💪 James Grage, Undersun Fitness](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zWveMGgKtC8/mqdefault.jpg)
Thinking about future videos.....What are some resistance band questions that you have?
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?
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!!
It would be interesting to see positive effects of RBT in terms of strength development results measured in the three powerlifting movements.
@@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.
@@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.
Here’s the thing. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxS7ex6L4sMqpaTn4LnBPyBmRQsSingL8y 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.
Resistance bands are transforming my life. I’m 56 and have had a lot of injuries (mountain biking) and bands have allowed me to increase my core strength exponentially increased and my knees, back, flexibility and overall fitness and wellness has improved greatly!👍👍👍
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)
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.
Good point.lol
No gravity on the moon.
never even thought about that
@@danielj233 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.
@@sharky2606
Well, true, but 2 anchor points instead of 1 on the moon.
This is by far the best channel about resistance bands. Nice video!
ACHV PEAK is another good one
Definitely
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!
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.
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.
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. 🙂
Thank you for the feedback! Glad I can help!
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.
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
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.
Hey Jeff! Thank you for the awesome feedback my friend!
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
👍👍
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.
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)
If i was unsure before, this sealed the deal. Im buying these!
Hey Miles! Glad to hear it my friend! Welcome to the Tribe!
Same, my job is 100% travel, I live out my luggage. Normal pushups only do so much.
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...
loved this one, I've been watching your earlier videos and this one might be my favorite one so far because you're wrapping up all of the foundation of what RBT is. Awesome job dude! thanks for so much inspiration
I am so glad I found RBT on RUclips. 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.
James, just bought these and watching your videos I was actually amazed at the different levels and directions that I can do, thank you so much man keep this going, loving it, God Bless.
Great video. Working out based on the feel and not numbers has really flipped my brain around about how successful my workouts end! Thanks for all the info in your vids.
Hey Oliver. Thank you brother. Yeah man, training by "feel" is where it's at, whether training with bands or weights.
Always great band instructions from James. Got into resistance band workouts because of him. Thanks. More please.
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.
Thank you ! I love the bands and love learning new ways to use them !
breana carrisosa hey Breana. Thank you! 🙏
Thanks very much for this series mate, just getting into working out in general and I love the idea of these bands and your series and explanations are perfect and super motivating! I'll be checking out the full collection over the next couple of months, looking forward to getting into shape!
Bands are just awesome! I have been doing RB push ups and I like them more than the bench press.
Have RB push ups developed your chest?Looking forward to try them!
Great Video mate,I just added the resistance bands in to my schedule and this video nailed it.
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.
That's a great idea! Very good suggestion for future videos!
Wow, 2 videos in a row where you talk about the exact detailed thoughts I am wondering about with resistance products. Thanks so much.
11:13 was literally mind blown!.. smashed that subscribe button in an instant.
Because of you I have just purchased the power bands. Never really understood how you could have a band only workout with results until I watched your videos.
It’s amazing as I suffer from anxiety and gyms make me feel uncomfortable. Thank you so much
I used your 20, 10, 10, 15 rep scheme for my workout yesterday and OMG it was an amazing burn.
James, I have to thank you for these videos. I have a job that has me on the road all the time. I spend most of my time traveling and hotels. Finding hotels with decent gyms or near a gym can be difficult. Finding your videos and honest opinions on RBT has helped a ton. I ordered your bands and am finally getting good workouts while I am on the road. Best of all, I dont spend my weekends home in a gym anymore. Your videos inspire me to keep working out and staying strong.
As someone who can't really afford trainers at the gym, but absolutely love to workout, getting the form of exercices right is journey in itself, hence I happen to watch workouts on youtube and learn forms and doing them as correctly as possible, and you do an amazing job at teaching/ explaining that. You take the time to explain everything possible so that it becomes so much easier to execute them
Another great video. Thanks James
James, you’re the man!!! 💪🏽thanks for this RBT TA2 channel
Great video... been using bands for a while and in the field during military training they are so convenient and while downrange...also great for Karate!
Awesome video again James.
This is the only channel that takes bands seriously, the others are all hocus pocus house wife type of videos.
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!
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.
Another great video. Keep them coming.
Great videos. Had to watch them again. Now I back into. Bands workouts again.
Your videos are really motivating! I learned alot from you! Thank you!
These tips are even more relevant now that all of the commercial gyms are closed/closing. James Grage, thank you so much for these videos!
Intuitive training/perceived exertion and functional strength are my two favorite elements of bands.
Bro you're making me a believer in resistance bands for strength, I've been using them for warm ups and progression only.
I really enjoy your awesome videos! I have a permanent foot injury and will eventually have a fusion on it but I'm really enjoying the resistance bands workouts and since I am toning and doing alot of reps I have noticed that it almost feels like I'm getting a cardio workout too because of doing upper body resistance bands. It's hard for me to get cardio using my feet but I occasionally ride a bike which I love and I will join a swimming pool oneday for cardio.I have to thank you for your inspiring videos. Have a great day!
I was looking into a lot of ways to start working out again. Picked up an old set of bands my wife had and I use to think they sucked, but instead they were amazing. I am definitely adding this to my Christmas list and can’t wait. Best way to work out for sure.
Fantastic tips and very useful ! Most people (me) would not know these and it makes a big difference ! Thanks James
Excellent video. Glad I bought the set of bands and TSA2 and TSA Body Shock Many thanks from JS Caledonia.
I just received my resistance bands today! Ready to get this good money 💴 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 right here!
This is what I have been looking for, thank you.
Very well explained and demonstrated.
Job well done, really nice video! Thanks James
Thanks brother!
Awesome video, extremely inspiring, great content and well presented. I love resistance band training and carry bands wth me everywhere. For me however the most significant downside with resistance bands is they can break and need to be regularly checked and replaced.
This is cool! Clear, practical and logical. Got my first band today, gonna listen and learn...
This is the best info about resistance bands (my bands have been gathering dust for awhile now as most youtube instructions I came across with are mediocre, to say the least...Now I'm scoring me new resistance bands, I just hope Undersun products ships to Hong Kong...
Great advice - thanks for sharing.
Awesome video, very informative and clear. Continue with your resistance bands videos, best on RUclips. Thx.
JM LR 👊 thank you!
Great technique & tips THANKS
Thanks James, I use the tube style and yes, the point you make about linear adjustments is so true. I do have the anchor and ankle straps for additional flexibility of use. Great content 💯🔥
My tube style setup fits in a bag just like your flat bans do, just weigh a little more.
Thanks brother!
Sir I have never seen that side lateral raise idea this is brilliant it may be better than weighted version. Thanks lot for teaching this exercise :)
Man good tips always learning more about resistance bands people may not like to hear this stuff but it's key because 0 injury
Just got some bands thanks for taking the time to do these vids they are great even for 65 year olds atb from North wales
Thanks for your informative video's James! I really like to see how much you love the bands and all the benefits of Them! You are so excited in your presentation.
I bought a few bands this week after watching soms of your video's! You really hooked me up to Them! :D I train alot in my garden (always using my body Wright to train). So... This is a very nice thing tot add in my workouts!
Kind regards and thanks for the video's!
Cheers from Holland :)
Thanks for the tips. Great instructional video
I'm gonna be a new subscriber to this channel, because of how much I've learned about how much more beneficial the resistance bands can be then using dumb bells. I have about 5 different weight tube resistance bands instead of the others he mentioned in this video to exercise by targeting different points of my body. I might one day invest in those type of resistance band to compare myself.
Going to the gym is something I have always thought of being an unnecessary place to workout when I can do the some the exercises at home.
excellent instruction for beginner, so many types and variation with bands
These bands are so dope!
I am beginner to the resistance bands. Before i buy some of them i watched many of your video in order to see if they are suitable for me and if they are do good job.
Thank you very much for you help from your useful videos.
I feel you like my personal trainer.
Thank you a lot!!
Thank you!
excellent tips !
Great video, I believe everyone should get a set of RB even if you have gym subscription because you can use them anywhere anytime.
Very informative video. Thanks a lot!
Between the great information and training that James provides and Dave Schmitz (the band man) offers, you got ALL you'll ever need regarding bands... Thanks James, I'm enjoying the heck out of your videos... and also... I bought you Train Anywhere course... It's fantastic! Recommended to all!
Cliff Mp hey my friend! Thank you very much! I really appreciate the support and happy to hear that you’re loving the program! 👊
I agree although I would also include Blake Kassel who I followed when I first got serious about working out with bands. Between these three guys, I feel like I have all the knowledge I need to use bands effectively and I use the exercises and ideas from all three when working out.
I've been waiting for your next video, glad to see it.
I still have my gym membership but have been using mostly bands all summer and am re-thinking continuing the gym membership. 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!
M Fawls hey my friend. Thank you for the awesome feedback. Yes, bands are extremely effective, no matter someone’s age - whether you’re in your 20’s, or your 50’s.
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.
James Grage, I just started using undersun bands not long ago and liking them very much. I am a truck driver and as you know health is a serious matter for this industry. Most of my questions have been answered through other videos of yours. My question or request of videos would be how to use your bands to stretch out muscles and joints safely with the use of the bands after being in the driver seat of a truck for what can be up to a 14 hour day. Thank you for all the info you put out there for us all.
You’re a resistance band Genius!!!! 😁
Great Video 😃👍💯👏👌💪💰 Great Channel!
Nice vídeo, vetou helpful.
I'm a surf coach and i use lot of resistente bands on my workouts :-)
Thanks for sharing dude
I just started working out with resistance bands..and i must say .It takes some getting used to before you can have such great workouts
Very helpful. Many thanks.
That was very impressive. At sixty three I have a small garage gym with an adjustable bench and dumbbell set as well as a power tower for dips and chin ups. This video has me thinking that It may make sense to give these power bands a go.
greate work man!
I hate you sooo, so much... I started with tube resistance bands 5 years ago because of a lack of access to the gym, i knew they were a good thing but i had no idea i didn't even scratch the surface of their potential till i saw your videos a few months back... and i hate you for making it seem so obvious...
Love the videos, keep up the good work!!!
Haha! I'm happy to have you hate me, if it means that you now love resistance bands!
Just got my first resistance band. This video was very helpful thanks.
Great video again!! What do you think about doing planks, vs crunches? I did Plank's last night instead of your ab workout
Chris
That's very helpful, thank you :)
Bands changed my life, thanks James
Love my bands!
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.
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
@@rodrigosouto9502 you can absolutely gain with bands,you train more frequently,with as much intensity as you like,without beating up your joints
Love the fake door! Also, great introduction into bands.
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!
Thanks, Great!!!
More fitness people should push band workouts and I greatly appreciate what James is doing here. Always good stuff. I would add that tube bands can be grabbed by the tubes to gain more resistance just like the bands. And one advantage of tube bands is if your grip strength is weak you will find it easier to use the tubes with handles to work your muscles and not be limited to your grip strength. I like bands when I don’t have good anchor points ie working outside. Band workouts are great! Keep showing us the way.
A trick i use because i use tubes is i hook my ankle straps and insert my feet now it's flipped and i curl well and i'm able to choke more. I think it's also all about how you grow and progress in training. Bless
Nice idea!
Proud Misfit thx so much
James, i bought your undersunfitness bands and strenght program…i could say i thank you so much for your vision. i have been doing weight traning for a long time, and i could say the injuries are endless. Now thanks for your boldness to step it up to bands. I love it and have been following it for 2weeks now in your 1month program. I will be on the band training program and work outs for a long time. Please keep up the videos and training programs. Thanks again for your wisdom!
Hey Mike! Thank you for this awesome feedback. I really appreciate it
Keep up the good work...you will be helping millions of people. Your wisdom will inspire many! I’m glad I found your training videos on band I wasn’t even aware that bands can be compared to weight training! I’m blown away of how well you apply the knowledge of weights to band. Great job! I will be following your strength training program I’m on week 2 of month 1resting today, tomorrow I have arms. Bands are the future! And you will be the leader! Thanks again! I’m a fan. God bless you and family.
You sold me on band work outs.
Hi James, please make more workout videos, especially how to build massive legs with bands. Your video about 4 killer leg exercises is awesome but I need more exercises because I do the workout since a few months and it gets boring. I hope you can make more workout videos and show us some more killer leg exercises and workouts. Keep going with resistance bands videos please. Thank you very much for sharing so much valuable content! Best regards from Germany
Best channel ever!!!
Those gloves are cool. Will have to get me some of these
James I just started doing bands and they are Awesome! Will you be putting new videos out soon?
