A Body Builder’s Reaction to Resistance Band Workout

  • Undersun Fitness founder, James Grage, meets up with his old friend - an IFBB (International Federation of Bodybuilding) Pro Bodybuilder, Randy Sarabia, for a resistance band workout. James has been training exclusively with bands for years now after he decided to ditch the gym. Randy is a hard believer in weight training, and going to the gym as his preferred way of training. After years of Randy poking fun at resistance band workouts, it was time to put him to the test.
    In this video, James teaches Randy the benefits of training with resistance bands over free weights, and why things like linear variable resistance, and resistance in multiple planes can be a true game changer when it comes to building muscle, strengthening your core, and getting that peak muscle contraction throughout the entire exercise.

    The hardest part of convincing someone to work with bands is the resistance….

    This is, in a microcosm, the perfect way to display what happens when you introduce a skeptic to resistance band training. James hit the nail on the head when he said the best way to convince someone is to have them try the bands for themselves. I started with resistance bands when the gyms closed in 3/20, and I haven't (and won't) go back.

    52 years old - former college 400 hurdler with lots of back issues and knee probs. Started bands a few years ago and gained more muscle with less injuries than with weights throughout my 40s....believer. My chiropractor was shocked when I said only used bands and pull ups - no weights.

    I’ve not bothered with weights for years since using bands. I take them on holiday, they fit in my carry on luggage with everything else. I only use them with door anchors, or tie them round any fixed solid object.

      I love bands (about 90 % of my training), but you definitely can injure yourself with bands, especially when you are still a beginner with them. For instance, when doing unilateral decline flies, I went all in for the last repetition, and at the end of the concentric phase, I simply forgot I was holding a 360 N resistance band around my hand and thumb (which is by the way a terrible grip, very dangerous for the thumb)… I stopped pushing and my arm went violently up backwards. My shoulder hurt for a few days. I was lucky, it could have been worse.
      I’m not a beginner any more. However, two days ago, I pushed my trapezius so hard with two 560 N bands at a time that for the first time in my life I got a violent cramp in my middle and lower trapezius. And I've already had elbow tendonitis from working on the triceps with bands.
      OK, bands are much safer than free weights and very effective, but they are not completely free from risk.

    I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, O Lord, show this also to thy servant: whether after death, as soon as every one of us yields up his soul, we shall be kept in rest until those times come when thou wilt renew the creation, or whether we shall be tormented at once?" 76 He answered me and said, "I will show you that also, but do not be associated with those who have shown scorn, nor number yourself among those who are tormented. 77 For you have a treasure of works laid up with the Most High; but it will not be shown to you until the last times. 78 Now, concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone forth from the Most High that a man shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High. 79 And if it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, and who have despised his law, and who have hated those who fear the Most High -- 80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, ever grieving and sad, in seven ways. 81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High. 82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance that they may live. 83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High. 84 The fourth way, they shall consider the torment laid up for themselves in the last days. 85 The fifth way, they shall see how the habitations of the others are guarded by angels in profound quiet. 86 The sixth way, they shall see how some of them will pass over into torments. 87 The seventh way, which is worse than all the ways that have been mentioned, because they shall utterly waste away in confusion and be consumed with shame, and shall wither with fear at seeing the glory of the Most High before whom they sinned while they were alive, and before whom they are to be judged in the last times. 88 "Now this is the order of those who have kept the ways of the Most High, when they shall be separated from their mortal body. 89 During the time that they lived in it, they laboriously served the Most High, and withstood danger every hour, that they might keep the law of the Lawgiver perfectly. 90 Therefore this is the teaching concerning them: 91 First of all, they shall see with great joy the glory of him who receives them, for they shall have rest in seven orders. 92 The first order, because they have striven with great effort to overcome the evil thought which was formed with them, that it might not lead them astray from life into death. 93 The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the unrighteous wander, and the punishment that awaits them. 94 The third order, they see the witness which he who formed them bears concerning them, that while they were alive they kept the law which was given them in trust. 95 The fourth order, they understand the rest which they now enjoy, being gathered into their chambers and guarded by angels in profound quiet, and the glory which awaits them in the last days. 96 The fifth order, they rejoice that they have now escaped what is corruptible, and shall inherit what is to come; and besides they see the straits and toil from which they have been delivered, and the spacious liberty which they are to receive and enjoy in immortality. 97 The sixth order, when it is shown to them how their face is to shine like the sun, and how they are to be made like the light of the stars, being incorruptible from then on. 98 The seventh order, which is greater than all that have been mentioned, because they shall rejoice with boldness, and shall be confident without confusion, and shall be glad without fear, for they hasten to behold the face of him whom they served in life and from whom they are to receive their reward when glorified. 99 This is the order of the souls of the righteous, as henceforth is announced; and the aforesaid are the ways of torment which those who would not give heed shall suffer hereafter." 100 I answered and said, "Will time therefore be given to the souls, after they have been separated from the bodies, to see what you have described to me?" 101 He said to me, "They shall have freedom for seven days, so that during these seven days they may see the things of which you have been told, and afterwards they shall be gathered in their habitations." 102 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, show further to me, thy servant, whether on the day of judgment the righteous will be able to intercede for the unrighteous or to entreat the Most High for them, 103 fathers for sons or sons for parents, brothers for brothers, relatives for their kinsmen, or friends for those who are most dear." 104 He answered me and said, "Since you have found favor in my sight, I will show you this also. The day of judgment is decisive and displays to all the seal of truth. Just as now a father does not send his son, or a son his father, or a master his servant, or a friend his dearest friend, to be ill or sleep or eat or be healed in his stead, 105 so no one shall ever pray for another on that day, neither shall any one lay a burden on another; for then every one shall bear his own righteousness and unrighteousness." 2 Esdras 2:31

    • @ToddDolce
      @ToddDolce 2 роки тому +4

      They can be a skeptic in James's case because he used weights to acquire his body originally; not bands. I'm just explaining why there is skepticsm since you asked. That being said,....what the skeptics fail to understand is the hard work, focus, dedication, concentration and discipline that also goes into ANY successful endeavor like that. What James proves is that you CAN get just as much of a benefit from bands as freeweights IF YOU DO IT RIGHT with the same dedication as you would use with lifting iron plates. I mean you can lift logs, rocks or concrete and get equally great results if you put forth the effort and do it with discipline, dedication and consistency. My hat goes off to James for getting the word out there and showing what band training can do with that passion and hard work.

    Band workouts are NOTHING compared to real weights. It’s not even close. Used bands during quarantine and all they did was allowed me to not lose muscle. As soon as I hit the gym and did some deadlifts I completely felt the difference.

    • @chrisbfreelance

      Correct, I do resistance band exercises as part of a week of sessions mainly for conditioning, and they do work. However they are not as effective as free weights for building mass and strength.

They're still moving like new(however I'm gonna need another pair of gloves soon lol)with the only sign of wear is minor scuff marks from my sneakers and the floor.

    😂😂 bodybuilder training with rubber bands doesn’t work for a reason more you stretch more resistance but when you return the resistance will decrease ( imagine is like you start lifting 1k and gos to 10 k ) or the other way around . So is not possible . Ask yourself have you seen any big bodybuilder using this crap ! Ronnie Arnold heath cutter?? No so this is crap .

    • @chrisbfreelance
      @chrisbfreelance 5 місяців тому

      Correct, at max resistance the muscle is under stress, but release the resistance and the muscle isn't working as hard. With free weights, sand bags and kettle bells the muscle still has to carry the load which is additional time under stress.
