    0:47 Overhead squats (4 sets, 1st+2nd set of 20 reps, 3rd+4th set of 10 reps, 4th set with double speed)
    2:30 Deadlifts (4 Sets of 10 reps)
    4:10 Stiff-legged deadlifts (4 sets, 1st set of ? reps, 2nd+3rd set of 10 reps, 4th set of ? reps with double speed)
    6:58 Single-legged squat + Lunge combination (4 sets of 10 reps)
    Great video, these exercises are exactly what I was looking for! I just bought a set of bands recently but didn't have a clue what to do with them except supported pull-ups and chin-ups.
    I just wish you had put a list of all the exercises including timestamps and information on how many sets/reps you're supposed to do. Since I watched the video a couple of times anyway, I've compiled this information here. Maybe somebody else finds it useful.
    Sometimes it was not explicitly stated how many reps you're supposed to do per set, so I simply assumed 10 in these cases. About the stiff-legged deadlifts you said you're supposed to increase to 10 reps for the second set, but I couldn't hear you say how many reps you're supposed to do for the first set. Also for the last set you said you're supposed to go back to the "original resistance" but do it at double-speed. Does that imply that you're supposed to switch to stronger resistance bands for set 2 and 3?

      I think he said his standard is 4 sets for each movement . Set 1 is 20 reps, sets 2 and 3 are 10 reps with more resistance, then set 4 goes back to the original resistance for 15 explosive reps.

    This set comes with 5 bands of varying resistance, a storage bag, ruclips.net/user/postUgkxS7ex6L4sMqpaTn4LnBPyBmRQsSingL8y a small pamphlet with some sample exercises, and an access code for an online workout video. I haven't viewed the online video, so I cannot speak to the quality of that piece of the set. However, everything else is perfect for what I was looking for. The bands are durable, and the resistance strength varies enough between bands that they're each useful for different exercises and provide a great challenge as you gradually increase the resistance level for certain exercises. The only band I don't use very often is the lowest resistance band, but even that is nice for exercises that target weaker/seldom used muscle groups.

    I have been suffering lower back problems most my adult life. Lumbar spinal stenosis l5/s1. My legs have been withering away with the lack of exercise. Squatting with a bar is a big no no for me. in fact my problem was caused by squatting with a bar. Been looking for a way to strengthen my legs and butt. Found exercising with bands (light band) as shown in this video is really helping without putting too much pressure on my back especially at the bottom of the movement. I salute you sir for this vid. God bless you.

Did 4 sets total, 2nd set was explosive the rest were 3/4 up and down tempo. Did a warm up set of the deadlifts with heavy band, 8 reps. Did 5-6 reps with 90 seconds rest per set for a total of 4 sets. I've not had access to squat rack since covid or proper places to deadlift. All i had to work with was a small bar and a total of 135lbs to work with. These bands are killer, I love how thrashed I am. Can't wait to work up to the full list of exercises with the x-heavy band

As a result I've been looking for methods to exercise that I can do it 15 minute spots here and there. I also want the exercise to be as close to compound incase I'm only able to perform a single exercise that day. That's what led me to bands especially since the can fit in my toolbox. Your videos are great for all of the above. After referencing them several times I've subscribed because your exercise do what you say they will. Is it making me looked ripped like you? No, but that's on me to diet better and find more time. But your videos are keeping me healthier and more importantly injury free while still letting me accomplish something for the day.

My legs haven't felt like this after a workout in.. years, I think. When this is all over, I have a whole new arsenal to add to my workouts. I will incorporate bands form now on, spend more time working out outside, and spend less time in the gym. This is GREAT.

    Bought the Evolution bands on Amazon because they were the only ones I found stating they’re a layered, bonded construction. They are TOUGH! Red and purple. The red is kicking my butt for most exercises and the purple is a beast of a rubber band! Bought the GoFit door anchor - excellent construction as well. Using a pair of padded bike gloves - yes, you will need gloves, IMHO. Thanks, James, for your fantastically well done band workout series.

      Get handles! Just make sure they don`t tear the rubber, might need a hook or some silicone on there, but handles let you use a lot more force IMO, pretty cheap too ;)

      Rubber banditz also have the multiple layers. There are others. And musicboy2003 is right. Get this construction type. I also use bodylastics clip bands so I can use handles and straps. These are also multi dipped latex with strings inside so they won’t snap when they break.

      I’ve used bands for 6 years. First 2 of those were exclusive. Now I have workouts that mix other equipment with the bands, all free weight workouts and all band workouts. I usually focus on total body workouts. Some exercises like Rows the weight of band I need to use literally pulls me off balance so I go with free weights mostly for those. I feel totally safe using bands not needing a spotter and not hurting myself getting into bad form. I use bodylastics clip bands because they have the string inside so when they break they don’t snap you in the face. For the flat bands I use rubber banditz because they are made with multiple layers of dipped latex so if they start to tear you will notice it before they tear all the the way thru. Don’t buy cheaply made bands and you will get a lot of great, safe use out of them. They definitely put on muscle.

    Hey James. Bought a set of 5 and love them. Use them at the gym. No waiting for machines. Lots of uprights for anchors. Getting on in years and need to work on shoulders after injuring rotators, and knees which can't take leg raises anymore. Can see some people watching me - one even asked about them.
    Great series - only limit is the imagination. Thanks
