I've been training exclusively with bands for 14 months straight, I've put on noticable muscle mass throughout my whole body, especially my upper body. The key to bands is learning how to get the maximum resistance out of them, where to grab them and how to stack them for peak muscle contractions. I stack an entire set of 4 bands for front squats and 3 for deadlifts and it's a killer. And depending on how far apart you step on the bands for deadlifts it can become ridiculously hard real quick.

The one thing I believe that you missed and is very important is the lack of injuries with the bands. I’m a veteran 65 years old and I was lifting weights until I injured myself so bad that I ended up at the VA hospital with a torn muscle of some sort from my back all the way up to the front side let’s say. I ended up in therapy for over two months and with stretching and bands I was able to get back in shape. I continue now with only bands. The one thing bands have especially over weights is that you can increase your bands without really worrying about injury. I know people that increased weights too fast or jerk them up when tired and end up getting injured. Like me! Good job on your videos.

Bands are killer workout tools. I started using them recently, exclusively, and they brought fun and convenience back to training for me. I can easily train 4-5 times a week now, whereas before I was lucky to train twice a week when possible. Granted I have a couple of high and low anchor points at home which make them even more versatile, but even without anchor points, you can train the whole body easily and effectively and safely.

I've been using weights but have been trouble with my shoulders clicking and general weakness. I tried a resistance band that my wife had, doing some shoulder exercises and I found they were a lot more effective on my shoulders compared to the weights and I wasn't getting as much discomfort during the exercises. I also found a lot more burn in the actual muscles that were meant to be targeted by the exercises compared to free weights. So we bought a few more high quality resistance bands and I've already tried them and love them!

Resistance bands are not to be shrugged off, with bands that go up to 200 lbs of resistance you could easily overlap 3 of them and hit 600 lbs. Hell you could always tie or grab the bands differently to create a shorter distance that will give you the lock out resistance at the beginning of the lift.

I'm 4 months in using resistant bands after suffering tennis elbow in both arms. It was so bad I was completely out of any type of activity for 8 months. My grip strength was at 50. Average male is around 100. So yea I was weaker than the smallest weak lady out there Now in the first 3 months of using the bands I took it easy for fear of reinjury took some lazy breaks lol. The 4th month I'm taking it more serious and have regain my prior strength. I could have probably gotten back to normal in 2-3 months if it wasn't for the injury. It's worth noting I use therabands without handles the wide ones not the tubes or loops. I've switched to handles recently and will be buying the tubes or loops next. Bands definitely work especially for tendon injuries.

It just comes down to the particular exercise that you're doing and how much resistance you need. Just think of them the same way you would think of using dumbbells for the first time - you wouldn't know how much weight to pick up, so you would try different ones until you got the right amount of resistance that you could do for your target rep range and target intensity. With bands you have a few different ways to create more or less resistance. The first is what you said - you can stack different bands together - or the other way is adjusting the resistance level of each resistance band by either shortening or lengthening it, by adjusting your distance (feet) from the anchor point, or by grabbing the band closer to the anchor point. The Linear Variable Resistance of each band gives you different levels of resistance at different lengths

Been using resistance bands during COVID at home and my core has never looked or felt as strong. Lost 12 pounds so far looking forward to every work out.

I literally just started looking at resistance bands today cause of Covid-19. you feel they're a good replacement for dumbbells?

Arin Robinson if you watch the eccentric movement speed and do some iso holds at the top of the movement I think they are even better. There is no cheating the band.

I've been using bands for 2 months now. All i can say is THEY ARE AMAZING. The only thing i miss are deadlifts with free weights :/ For some reason i couldnt manage to do deadlifts properly with bands :/ Either my hands go hurting even with gloves on, or i dont feel the resistance that much. However, during these strange times, band is the way to go!

Same here until I used heavy duty carabiners and handles under a platform to stand on

You can't outtrain a bad diet... I learned that the hard way training so hard and having poor results. Then I started following the Agoge diet, and I finally started seeing some great results.
