I tried out tube style bands (cant remember what white label brand it was but it was fine). I returned it since for me it felt harder to set up exercises where i wanted and to get a full stretch. I think loop bands may be the way to go

I'm going with UnderSun as they work better for my height for exercises such as Front Squats. Also, if you do grab them, instead of the bar, the heavier band is doable while the SunPow is pretty uncomfortable to hold as it is so wide.

for the lateral raises, to make them easier, try standing on only one of the loops when doing them, rather than both. or alternatively, do them one arm at a time.

Yes you can do that, but it is awkward (tested it myself) you can do one arm at a time but makes the workouts longer.

I didn't do them in my April test, but might add a set at the end just to continue with some core exercises. Nothing crazy, just a final exercise to work the abs at the end. Still optional but I think I may add some back.

@MrRezillo Жыл бұрын

Thanks for a great review. The lower price of the SunPow bands allows me to buy a bar as well. As a complete beginner, I just don't think it's worth it for me to buy the UnderSun bands. Also, the color coding, which the UnderSuns don't have, is a plus. UnderSun now makes you buy the bag separately, and they push their own app and workout program, which is annoying; you can find out all you need to know just from watching KZfaq vids. I'm going with the SunPows.

Nope these have not, but I'm actually going with UnderSun as my preferred even though the smallest band snapped on me a while back. I made a comparison video as to why, but if you can get the UnderSun cheaper, go for it :)

the smallest / green one actually did have a tear for me. it's a very small tear, and i think i caused it somehow without noticing. i still use it but am being careful with it, cuz i fear it'll snap if i use it too much. i probably could ask for a replacement, but since it's the lightest band i use it so rarely that i don't really see a need to replace it.

So, I got some money (around $100) for Christmas and have been wanting to get into strength training (major newbie). My husband already has dumbbells, but we don't have a bench. I couldn't get a fancy bench, so do you think I would be better off getting some bands and the bar to get me started?

No, if you are just starting, I would use the dumbbells you have and bodyweight and start there. Only begin investing if you start and continue training for a few months. You can do a lot with just those dumbbells and bodyweight to get started.

@seanwall2846 3 жыл бұрын

I have a question and do trust your opinion. Does the purple band feel like it does have a higher resistance level than the heaviest undersun band?(it claims it can be as high as 170 while others go to like 120ish). When i was shopping for cheaper bands the max resistance was a big factor in my decision and i am curious if there was a noticeable difference

@seanwall2846 3 жыл бұрын

Great content btw

@GamerBody 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks, yes the Purple band is much tougher than the UnderSun. However, I have noticed that if your do any exercises holding the bands, it is really hard to grip the SunPow Purple band because of it's width/thickness vs UnderSun. I'm leaning more towards UnderSun for this reason, but still testing before I make a final verdict on which I will be using full time.

@seanwall2846 3 жыл бұрын

@@GamerBody just got them and i see what you mean. The purple band is a little awkward to grip. I guess gloves are the way to make it a little better

@GamerBody 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah it's the main reason why I like the UnderSun a bit more right now, otherwise they are basically the same outside of the price. Oh, and also getting into some positions is a little easier with UnderSun.

@monkeyb1820 3 жыл бұрын

the undersun heavy is 1.75" wide, whereas the sunpow purple is 2.04" (per amazon). So I think for all of these loop style, it's the width that is most useful to know (and which is obviously related to the 'weight' range).

As of right now, yes, but only because of my height. If I was around 5'8" or so the SunPow work just fine. The overall quality also feels just a bit better. It is tough to get that Front Squat in position with the SunPow but otherwise everything else is good.

I believe the UnderSun have some type of construction where they have a safety layer to prevent major snapping and instead kind of "fray" apart. I'll have to look into the SunPow construction to see if it is different (if they provide that info). Thanks for the follow-up on your experience.

Have you ever used tube band handles with loops bands?

I use the UnderSun bands (come with 5 and have a few reviews on them) and I prefer them overall. Both will work but the main reason I use UnderSun is to get into position with some exercises such as front squats and overhead press.
