Pat Mac I am thankful for your videos and inspiration and what you teach and share. I'll be 63 in June and have had a lot of injuries and mileage on this body. Lot's of damage to neck, back, entire spine and a host of other issues. They forced me in to retirement/disability which is amazing to me. Here I was doing everything I could to try to get or find a solution and get back in it and every one of them wouldn't even discuss it, just told me I'll never get better, I'll continue to get worse and my days of walking and mobility were over. That was the most devastating thing, experience in my life. When I first wake up the pain and inability to stand or move is a nightmare but eventually I get through it. I had been in shape my entire life and am getting back in to it now, painfully slowly, too slowly, but it's all I got. Keep up the great job of teaching, training, and inspiring, it helps to keep us weaker ones from turning in to pusses and regaining discipline. "Get comfortable being uncomfortable", “Pain is weakness leaving the body”, “It’s all mind over matter, If I don’t mind it don’t matter”, “The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday”.
AARNG 11B 68W medically retired in 2016 Multiple tours. You encouraged me to reignite my fire about 5 years ago. I was in a wheelchair being wheeled into a hospital, the last day I wore a uniform. Short story, 3-4 months later I was in rehab learning to walk again. I had damage to the spinal cord from c1-c5. Learned to walk again, the day I got home I did 5 pushups and walked half a mile in my walker. then I did meditations specifically for rebuilding and repairing the spinal cord. While eating greens three times a day and especially taking a vitamin B complex. I had regrowth in my spinal cord. I got rid of M.S. as well by building a new energy body. When people have phantom pain in the location of a lost limb, that is the energy body. If you think about it the logic is sound. With the new energy body, the disease of M.S. is no longer applicable. Get this. Meditation during overly energy-demanding exercises showed me how to mechanically look from the inside and manually move energy to different parts of the body. Energy follows awareness, going inside. Ever heard of an energy healer? Well, imagine if you could mechanically move energy inside the body and bring in and compress it then move it to a specific area aka muscle. Get this, in one focused breath the entire body, in a state of exhaustion, can be replenished with energy and be immediately refreshed with pure raw highly concentrated energy. I have been messing with this for over a year now and it is real. You seem like you would dig this. I am 41.
@@StarcraftDrmeditation during exercise. I find the horse pose is great for this. Whole you hold horse pose ask your self where the energy is coming from? It comes from somewhere and goes into your muscles. Then ask yourself where is it going? This will help attune your focus to energetic systems.
76 yrs, been wo /running since 20. Still hike in the Rockies 6 months yr plus bow hunt for elk. Mine is simple, run hills with a backpack, use bands and kettle bells. Am a old vet but never left USA. Take care young man 😎
Thanks Pat I have to upgrade my bands,still recouping from compartment syndrome,thanks again,I'll be 70 and this body has seen a lot of mileage in construction and sports, thanks again
Late 40's. Beat up my body my whole life riding moto (no regrets). I'd go through phases of lifting and mtb for fun and cardio. Haven't done anything in 5 years. I think it's time for me to start riding the spin bike and using some bands before it's too late. Thanks sir
I really appreciate your ideas for us older guys (I'm 60). Your bands are great, particularly to facilitate those rotational movements. My biggest challenge now is decreasing energy. I'm wondering if you've noticed that yet at 57.
I’ve noticed it! I started noticing it at 40 when all my natural pain killers turned off, and all the injuries received in my 20s made themselves known…😂
@@TheLJ5263 be careful with that garbage TRT (testosterone replacement therapy). The DR's that perform the robotics surgery for enlarged prostates are making a killing....due to the mouth breathing nitwits doin lots of TRT. They ar oer loaded with patients. Boost your testosterone by eating the correct foods
The speed with which we atrophy as we age is profound! Taking care of homestead chores is so much easier with the joint lubrication of daily workouts. Fifty-seven would be so much worse without it…especially when we consider the mileage you mentioned-Preach it Mac!🙏🇺🇸
Keep rocking, I'm ranching in Missouri, love the work. And man, keeping the joints lubed is right, gotta maintain the chasis. We just got our pig set up done. Love this life man, take care!
As a retired pitcher, muscle strength is great but the tendons are just as important. Muscle is great until the tendon is over extended. This theory is perfect for muscles too. Great video! This is such an important concept for young and the one who’s mind tells them they are young. Myself included!
Tendons, ligaments, cartilage, muscles, skin, bones. I recommend supplementing with collagen and glucosamine. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
One of the best practical explanations of the difference between power, strength, and hypertrophy. I agree with aiming for the 20 rep range for hypertrophy (this achieves at least 1 min time under tension) and the triphasic approach. Bravo gentlemen! Thanks for all you do. Best regards from northwest Arkansas.
Thanks dudes. This was helpful. I have two sets of Pat’s bands and they have taken the garage gym to the next level. But these tips really helped. Appreciate y’all taking the time to break it down for us. Getchusum!
They're really great and I'm going to dig mine out and start using them today after seeing this! I need to have someone either throw arty sims at me or have a tazer up my rear to get back in shape, but it would be worth it!
For comparison sake… I had a set of Rogue bands that I got about 40 days before the Tmacs bands were restocked and I was able to buy them. Didn’t need em, but I wanted em and didn’t want to miss the restock. Been over a year… both sets used 3-5x a week. One Rogue band started to split… Tmacs bands are seemingly good as new. Sample size of one here I get it. But that might help some people.
Just purchased the CST system and have been devouring the intro vids. I don't have gym equip and I know you don't really work out of the gym anymore. I have seen a slew of your driveway work out vids and that's what I'm after. Utilizing things that aren't necessarily gym equip while still being able to maximize my workouts incorporating alot of the exercises in the Explainer vid section.
I'm going to share something I learned from Stan Efferding. Hit under load. Try adding three sets of twenty rep squats with two minutes rest in between, add weight when you get them all. Breathe as much as you need to.
One big reason bands snap, flat or tubular, is how and where people anchor them. The tubular bands might have a slight advantage but if either design is made from quality material and anchored properly they should last a long time. Regularly anchored to things that can abrade them, or standing on them on rough surfaces, will shorten any bands service life. The other reason for failures is buying cheap low quality bands.
He has those days as well. But I think he mentioned on those low energy days he likes to still get out wether it be painting , bird watching, reading and gardening. Just less load for those you know days of filling drained.
Yep, I’m 63 and definitely got some milage issues. The bands help me tremendously and honestly? I’m sick of throwing around weights after all these years. "It’s called Fitness not Brokeness"
As someone who uses bands a lot, there is no way ol’ Pat hasn’t broken a band putting them to the limit the way he does. No need to lie big boss. They’re awesome anyway.
Pat you Rock, listen to Judist Priest live, working out with your bands. I am 55, former Combat Engineer, also added some rucking, 45lbs pack, over weekends, way too hot, to take the dogs, in Central Texas heat, but got body can handle, 100 plus heat hiking hill country, Thanks, the joys, functional strength, can bring to longevity! Also like you former high School, wrestler.
Thank you for posting this this really explains in great detail and clears up a lot of the questions I had about the differences between the three power strength and hyp.
Strength is your ability to produce force against an external resistance. Strength is subjective & determined through progress. All movements that involve resistance, where you have progressed from a previous session, will develop strength. As for speed & quickness, in the fitness world, there's something called a force velocity curve. The greater the resistance, the slower the movement. Lower resistance increases the component of velocity. There is also strength-speed, where you will be working closer to the strength part of the curve (determined by 1RM %) while moving the heavier weight in a somewhat fast manner. Speed-strength is closer to the velocity portion of the curve (also % 1RM) where you move a lighter weight in a faster, more dynamic manner.
Lifelong athlete here. You name it, I’ve probably been into it. Except mountain climbing. That shit’s stupid. But I digress… The decline in my muscle mass, strength, and stamina in the last seven years (from 55 to 62)has been dispiriting to say the least. I still hit it hard as fuck…windsprint, hill repeats, lifting, plyo, Muay Thai, etc… and my testosterone level is still in the 700’s….but something has changed. I’m still fit, I can still pack an elk off a mountain like nobody’s business, but getting older definitely takes a toll. I guess there’s no way around it. But I’ll never give in. I’ll never succumb.
So basically, everyone should do Judo. You just demonstrated many of the principles of uchikomi using resistance bands. You'd make a hell of a judoka, brother.
The bands are sold out on your site. Will you be replenishing your supply? Also interested in the flywheel machine, bladder bag and hammer you use on the tires. Are there links for those pieces of equipment? Thank you
I’ve had these bands for a few years. They really are badass. I’ve used them at home and at the gym. No one knows what type of bands they are. I just want to say Gitchusum🤘🏻
Mac, great video with you and CJ. It seems that I now see you using bands more and less traditional free weights. Could you share your purpose behind this? At 51 years myself, I am wondering if it is to help with joint health. Blessings!
I love these videos. I've been trying to buy the CST program but I don't see a place where I can create a login on the website. Does anyone know how to create a login and purchase the system? Thank you.
I love the content but what i am confused/disagree with is the eccentric portion for power training. Most olympic lifters and powerlifters(deadlifting) drop the bar after the top hold to avoid eccentrics. I think its more of a hypertrophic thing since the works already been done. Same with fighting, its all fast concentric and isometric. Striking and grappling both have hardly and eccentrics at all
Doesn’t speed seem better for once you have a decent strength base? Does the weight decrease require increased reps and sets? This is really cool though. I’ve seen where fighters do lighter bouncier movements with weights but that seems like murder on the joints. I watched some of Pat Macs band exercises and this makes me want to check out the rest. Good deal.
Elastic bands are NOT ideal, from the perspective of building muscle. Muscles have a “strength curve” which usually cause them to be stronger when they are elongated, and LESS strong when they are contracted (shortened). So, the ideal resistance curve of an exercise would be such that it provides MORE resistance when the muscle is elongated, and LESS resistance when the muscle is contracted. Elastic bands do the opposite. They load the muscle less when the muscle is elongated (i.e., stronger), because the elastic band has not yet been stretched. Then, they load the muscle more as the muscle is shortened (i.e., weaker), because the band is increasing its length and tension. This is a very unfortunate aspect of using elastic bands as the source of resistance, in exercise. This “backward” resistance curve (regardless of angle), is less than optimally productive for muscle building, and is also LESS comfortable, to a degree. Using elastic bands tends to leave you wanting more resistance where you're stronger (in the early phase of the range of motion), and wanting LESS resistance where you’re weaker (in the latter phase of the range of motion).
