I don't undertand one thing: he passed to an excercise to another with no rest just like in normal superset with freeweights, is that right? 20 and 20....rest +10 and 10 rest (x2).... 15 and 15 rest (in peace XD)

Amazing

And nowadays with gyms closing, James' programming and series is even more useful. I've always had atleast 1 resistance cable or some improvise weight ever since the teen yrs(37 now) but I was never really consistent. I like how James has provided a strong way for ppl to stay fit using what can be a cheaper alternative to gym memberships(tho I have one) and with the ease and convenience of working out anywhere. It takes most of the excuses out of the picture.

I prefer bands for arms over dumbbells. When failure happens you can adjust. And get more reps.

Thanks

I am using bands now because of the pandemic restrictions and I cannot get any near as good training feeling as I did with free weights ...

@@pointtheblame Maybe you got the wrong bands.

pointtheblame honestly I’ll advice getting all the various sizes of bands (if you don’t already have em) because they can all be used for different workouts and the difference in resistance helps and changes how every workout feels. I got mine in 5 different sizes and try to workout everyday and from my experience, the bands are worth it and help me feel that great pump and soreness that I’ll normally get from weight training. Definitely gonna incorporate bands into my workouts when the current situation is over.

@@Vampeere I have a set of four which I am combining and I have the door anchor but still i see that I am loosing muscle. Anyway at least it is some sort of training. The pecs are the hardest to maintain with resistance bands I think

@@pointtheblame rep speed can also be the reason. With bands, you will want to slow you positive and negatives and focus on contraction

MightyD18 You need to build a respectable physique first. I could go to the gym and do the weirdest exercise and no one would give me crazy looks.

I want some of your Fitness and KZfaq like to know how do I get some of the Bands you have

🖕

Hahaha

I'm not quite sure the name of these, but I can truly stand behind the products made by Undersun Fitness.

You can purchase some grips or handles to help with that.

Steven Zak I definitely prefer bodylastic bands. They also have the string inside the rubber band so that if they break they won’t snap and injure you.

True, and they're more versatile for combining with barbells for, e.g., squats and bench presses. That said, I can see why James would like the looped kind, if only because you can grab them anywhere without your hands slipping to the ends as they do with slick bands like Bodylastics. Which is why I have both.

That's a bit difficult to answer seeing as bands get progressively "heavier" as you stretch them, i.e. using the yellow at its fullest length and just beyond completely slack might "weigh" just a couple of pounds. However, if you've already stretched it, say 10 inches for example, its "weight" starts to increase exponentially. But you probably already knew this obviously. What I did was to experiment quite a bit. At this stage I'm very familiar with my bands. I know what band to use at which length, to fail at 12 or 13 reps for my first set for a particular exercise. If I want to progress, I know which bands to use in combination, and at which length, to fail at 10 or 11 reps for my second set. And so on, and so on. I'm very anally retentive, so I constructed an entire worksheet containing what bands to use at which lengths for what exercises. If I'm eventually able to do more than 13 reps on my first set I use a different combination or different band entirely on my next workout for that particular muscle group and that particular set. Not as simple as free weights where the weight is written in big bold lettering on the sides, but if you know your bands it's a piece of cake. The best would be to have multiple thinner bands - not just one or two. Maybe three or four.

Loop bands are more versatile as you can do quite a few more exercises that are not attached to something compared to Bodylastics bands. You can also attach loop bands around objects a lot easier. You have to have some type of attachment accessory to attach Bodylastics to objects because Bodylastics does not recommend wrapping the band around something and then putting the band through the caribiner. I have had Bodylastics bands since 2012 and love them as well but I prefer loop style bands.

Honestly?why would you care about measuring the "weight" with bands? All that matters are the results,who cares how much it weighs?

I have gotten sore from bands, The band man had a post about it. resistancebandtraining.com/muscle-soreness-with-band-training/

Joey Rucks thanks Buddy!

You need to make sure you're going to failure on at least 50% of your sets to stimulate soreness aka hypertrophy

@@JoeyRucks I love the band man and have a lot of his resistance bands and accessories. I'm also a member of his Band Gym which has a lot of good programs and workouts.

dont knock bands my fella is a big guy .he was sick of paying stupid amounts of money a month at local gym .. then i bought him a green band ..saving $60 a month now ..buy some bands ...purple ..green .blue ...try a press up with a green band if you get 20 then good luck ..and do them controlled they kick arse mind muscle connection .. unless your a steroider

Ashley Kalym bands are amazing. Combining them with weights is absolutely brutal.

thanks mate
