I love your reviews on band products. I just got my X3 bar last week and was getting used to the feel of band training and started the 12 week program on Monday. I’ll also plan to use the bands with my total gym or bowflex pr3000 unit. I will use the bands I have for now but I am curious over the course of your training how the paraforce holds up over time. Those are bands I eventually will want in my current band sets. Thanks for your reviews and opinions on products!

@SlidingBenchTrainer yw, it's been a game changer for squats, deadlifts, rows, and bicep curls. I get way more tension at the bottom. It seems too small for chest press though. And the original bands are too long for me. So I might have to buy a couple 37 inch bands to see if they can help with the chest press.

Good review. The new SS 37" bands look interesting though I'm not sure I will try them out yet since I have the Harambe 38" bands. I do have all of their other size loop bands and really like the quality. I have been using the Paraforce bands pretty much exclusively since they first came out last November and mine have held up very well. I have seen a few pictures online of some broken ones but I think overall they have been very durable.

I don't know if the 37" would be any different than Harambe bands. Harambe bands are thicker and harder than Serious Steel's equivalent bands. I'm kind of short and I measured the force of the Harambe bands. They actually exceed their force ratings.

I bought the performance bands and it feels way easier than the latex bands. I asked the company about it and they said it's supposed to be easier but it generates greater force at certain points of the movements compared to the latex ones. I dunno about that but it's more compact so that's a plus.

Great review! Thank you, I have the X3, the para force bands are always sold out when I try to get them, if you had your choice between the new SS bands or the para force bands which one would you get, and how many of the new SS bands would you recommend if you decided on those? Thank you again for another great video.

@hybridresistance Жыл бұрын

That's kind of hard just considering they are both fairly new, but I'd go with the SS 37" only because it's a different experience and offers something practical in shorter length to change things up a bit. The paraforce I'd say are worth it once your standard set of 41" are in need of replacement.

@chrissyyankee 3 ай бұрын

This was a great video to get some basic knowledge of bands as i am a beginner to resistance training. I am trying to figure out what system to purchase. Do the x3 bands really have the better force potentials due to the patented material of the bands? And is this material in just the paraforce bands or the original bands? Are the original bands the same material as the SS and Rouge, etc? (Which is latex right?) If the paraformave bands really have an advantage over latex ones for muscle hypertrophy, then that's what I'm going for. But I prefer not to spend the extra money if there is really no difference in results.

@hybridresistance 3 ай бұрын

I personally don’t think there’s really a whole lot of difference as far as results with the specific materials in the resistance bands. More so the materials make up the quality of the bands, which definitely can increase the stiffness or flexibility, but a lot of that might be personal preference. You certainly can get great results with a cheap pair of bands as well . I’ve got another video that goes over the best loop resistance bands, but you really can’t go wrong with brands such as serious steel, rogue, or even the clench bands to name a few. I also did a video talking about Harambe’s bands, which arguably might have the best overall quality loop style resistance, bands if you search for that one.

@lionki3 Жыл бұрын

I can relate to the standard bands being a bit long for me. I'm 5'7" and it's especially true on the chest press. I would double loop on the hooks and it's perfect but don't like how the bands are rubbing against each other on the hooks. I'm guessing it would wear them out more like that? I'm not spending more on the Performance bands yet since my standard bands are still practically new. I wish X3 offered different sizes in the future.

@@hybridresistance Yes I am a big fan of yours and just saw that video yesterday. My Dad is yoked up and has almost a 700 pound deadlift so I want him to get us an X3 set up but he thinks the elite won’t be enough for him for the leg exercises. So If we had a review with there best band I could probably convince him to buy the base x3 with your discount and buy the gray and orange serious steel bands with your 10% as well. Thanks! It would be cool to show all serious lifters that watch you the strongest band on the market IMO!

@bruceg Жыл бұрын

Another excellent review. Ironically just yesterday I was looking for loop bands longer than 41". Not sure why the maximum is 41". Anyway I'm a bit taller and to get a decent leg workout need to use a heavy band but getting the darn thing behind my neck is impossible... and even a front squat is challenging to get into position. Oh well. Thanks for these great reviews.

I have the same problem. I bought 2 handles and loop the bands and holding the handles by my side ,sqaut that way . Its a lot better . I might also buy a front squat harness to be able to stick the bar into first and then put my feet inside the bands and push down and not use the platform

@bruceg Жыл бұрын

@@iang8169 Good ideas! I did buy a front squat harness from Titan awhile back. Didn't work very well for me with either a bar or without. I might try taking 2 bands and linking them together with a carabiner clip and run under the X3 platform. I have that short X3 bar but I have bought other bars that are longer. Two 41" bands may be too long but I have some shorter ones as well. Might try that tonight.

@@bruceg i bought the elite fts second strongest band for my squats ( 87 pounds at rhe bottom times 2 when you loop it ) . Its 36 inches and still has good tension at rhe bottom . Instead of thr bar ill use 2 handles and hold my hands out at the sides and squat . I tried the elite fts strongest bar but when i loop it and double rhe resistence ,its too strong and cant do a single rep. I was hoping a front sqaut harness would work . Wjat was your probems with using that with the bands or bands plus bar ? To be honest ,i think resistence bands are pretty hopeless for quads i stiill use a leg press ,safety squat bar and leg extension machine for quads mainly

@bruceg Жыл бұрын

@@iang8169 It was awhile back that I tried the Titan shoulder harness. My recollection was the balance was not right - wasn't stable. Maybe it was the bands pulling from below - not sure. It might work for you. I will say I MUCH prefer the standard back squat to the front squat in general. I agree - finding a good band exercise for quads is challenging.

@hybridresistance Жыл бұрын

I've actually started to go more with the single leg squat and have been enjoying it. Yesterday when I did lower body, I actually brought back the front squat (with small bar) and it felt great again, especially with both a darker gray and then black band for higher dialed in reps. I did this after my main sets of single leg / deadlifts.

Hey! So do those new X3 bands have more tension at the start of rep? Now I'm used to the standard X3 bands it seems like they're real weak and ramp up only in the last 10-15cm of movement. It's like the resistance curve is too big on the standard bands, or lol its too short I don't know how you'd describe it but I mean there is no resistance for the first 50-75% of rep and then builds to max. Are those new bands strong at beginning and getting stronger throughout the range I guess. You know what I mean?

@hybridresistance Жыл бұрын

I'd say it's more of a gradual smooth ramp up in tension on the performance bands. I don't really notice more tension at the start. What I didn't say in the video is that they do feel more snug to start (on the chest press) for whatever that's worth. Honestly the difference is very slight in my opinion. For me I'd upgrade to these if my original x3 bands wore out assuming the long term quality is there, the smaller size of the bands, and the fact that you can double them up easier. Also cool that they are the only USA made loop bands. But this may not be worth the extra say $50 for some people.
