I first discovered bands in 1972; they were the precursors-springs. Then years of lifting, then I tried Bowflex beginning 20 years ago, still retain it for some exercises, as it’s essentially bands using different angles. Fortunately, i finished my long term home gym just a month or two before covid, which has been perfect. I believe that this is the first serious home gym revolution-a combination of covid with the remarkable evolution in home gym equipment over the last 2 decades or so. Ya, it’s better having the home workouts and being able to incorporate outdoor influences more, and greater freedom. Plus ya, sometimes I believe bands are easier on joints, plus what no one ever seems to mention: the feel, the pump from these things can’t be beat, can’t be matched actually. I have a Bowflex in addition to a couple of machines and calisthenics. Bands by themselves have always been dismissed, whenever I’ve seen any mention of them; but no one really knows who criticize them, which is typical with muscle heads who equate masculinity with weights. Bands, calisthenics, outdoor workouts is the life.

I’ve always been underweight and have spent my life in welding shops working long hours, while I tried becoming a gym rat and enjoyed it, having to take time out to get to the gym with a full time job, side business and a life has been very difficult. Recently found bands and your videos and I’m never going back to the gym. Did my first workout the other day and can’t believe how well the well the bands work by themselves. Plus as a skinny guy it’s WAY safer to work out by myself than trying to lift heavy shit without a spotter. Plus who has the time to spend 3-5 hours a week in the gym anymore? I know I don’t. Anyways thanks my man I’ll be upgrading to a set of undersun bands ASAP!

I have workout for years. When this virus hit us, I had to give up the health club. Now what? For a while, I ate wrong, starting drinking more and gained weight. Not to mention, mentally I did not feel right. One day I was cruising KZfaq and ran across James and his bands. Where have I been? I never knew anything about bands. I watched several videos and did some research and homework. Eventually, I ordered the bands from Undersun along with James TA2 workout program. OMG!!!! I hardly recognize myself! The gains I am making I never saw lifting weights. I really look forward to working more every morning. I love the bands and they are better (for me) than weights. It is well worth it to get the bands and start your workout program.

When covid hit in 2020 I was working out at home sandbags, kettle bells, TRX Strap, Rucking...I lost the 35-40+ lbs I put on after a car crash where I fractured my elbow and wrist, I eventually had to have surgery to relieve the nerve. Fast forward to 2021 the first day of school for web development I was bit on both hands by a German Shepherd, it severed the nerve and tendon in my left middle finger. It took 7 months of physical therapy for me to regain 80-90% function in my hand. I'm now working as an EMT and working 12 hour shifts doesn't leave a lot of time to workout.

The less I use weights the less joint issues I have. I have gone through the same issues as you over leaving weights behind. It's, weights that is, a ego thing. Weights may be cheap considering but that's not an issue with me. It's the results that determines everything. I get even better results with weights so anyone who says you can't get results with bands is just plane ignorant.

Dude, thank you for the message. The one thing that really drives me is being able to help others. It's selfish I guess....because I get so much in return. Like they say, it always feels better to give than to receive.

Hi JAMES I admire your courage. I relate to your story having g gone through life changing circumstances. I too trained all my life. I have used bands since 2012. I love them. I agree with your views and ideas on them. A great inspiration.

I found your channel and discovered more movements and understanding of the resistance bands workout. I started using the bands because of the gyms closing because of corona-virus, it took me awhile to get used to them but I'm liking the workouts. I use my Garmin fitness watch and it shows that I'm in both anaerobic and aerobic states, my heart rate is much higher than using free weights or machines.

I am curious -- any theories as to why someone might have less joint/ligament pain with the bands than with free weights or machines? I suspect that it has something to do with lack of momentum and particularly not having to force your body to change the direction of the weight's momentum, as well as the bands mimicking the natural strength curve of your muscles.
@ajmartinga3 жыл бұрын
your joints get injured because the moment the muscle is weakest the joint takes the pressure - when lifting heavy weights say bench you are really only as strong as you can lift the bar off your chest (no bouncing bs) but that point when your hands are parallel with your chest the muscle is too weak so the joint gets damaged. hope that makes sense.

Very inspiring! Mine is a similar story. I was brain damaged in a carbon monoxide poisoning. My rehabilitation was I was incomplete, however. Unlike James, my workouts now consist of just weights; limited in scope due to mobility issues. I have built some more strength using a single resistance band!

Just bought some resistance bands and TA2 build - I was just wondering if there happens to be a place where I can find before/after progress pics? I find that helps me to keep up my discipline when the going gets tough :)

Been using bands only lately. I took 2 of the heaviest bands, stepped inside of them and put them behind my neck for squats. Very challenging. Once I'm able to do a lot with two bands one day I'll try three.
