    You have really opened my eyes to band training, I will admit I’m a firm believer after training with them for the last couple months. I actually use your bands to train my soldiers, it’s an amazing way for them to train anywhere any time. I even had my senior leadership order a set for themselves. Thank you for educating myself and many people on the power of bands. Can’t wait for your podcast to come back!

    Completely invalid. 1) you just add extra tube bands to increase the resistance. 2) Tube bands you don't have to shred your hands and carry around a pair of gloves

      He is selling his brand, but loops are superior to tube. That's my opinion though.

  • @chrisyoung8062
    @chrisyoung8062 Рік тому +1

    As you increase the stretch of an elastic band, the increase in resistance is exponential, not linear. So the force as it is stretched is a curve not a straight line. Research Hook's law if you want to get into the weeds.

    Hey I'm getting 2 sets of them. Soon as a matter of fact. I can use those in the gym with bars if I like with weights. Or I don't have to and I can do other workouts with them. As a fitness instructor and influencer, I'm trying to get people training with these instead of with weights since its way more flexible, versatile, and portable to use instead of going to a gym. They're getting really expensive too with everything that happened the past 18 months. Hawaii is an old school place so, its tough to get people on board with it, but I think they'll catch on. I don't do much of any weight training anymore since I don't like the constant resistance of the weights anymore as its slow to move, pushing and pulling against gravity to create that resistance, and it stays the same regardless of where the load is. Strength training and building strength is all about leverage. Its so much faster to get the muscles in the proper position to fire and generate as much power as possible, and therefore, build strength. Athletes train for fast, speedy movements, bands allow for that.

      @@JamesGrageUndersunFitness Sorry for the late reply. I guess spreading out the arms is difficult / imperfect due to the closed nature of looped bands. Here are some examples where Tube bands may be more practical

      Hey Mario. The lower you anchor your bands, the more resistance is applied. You can add even more resistance by using more than one band at a time.

    • @monkeyb1820
      @monkeyb1820 2 роки тому +1

      forearms should get a workout just from doing a variety of curls and rowing type pulls with the bands. For calves, if you put the band under the balls of the feet (closer to the toes) and do calf pushes, it works the calves. But if the band is under the arch or heel, then it's not really working them. The band has to stretch when you raise your heels in the air. If it's not stretching, it's not working the calves.

    • @JamesGrageUndersunFitness
      @JamesGrageUndersunFitness  3 роки тому +3

      Like any style of training, if you do the exercise incorrectly or with poor form, you can place unnecessary stress on joints. With strength bands you want to make sure that you are grabbing the band close to the base of your palm, as opposed to in your fingertips. This way you aren’t putting unnecessary force (leverage) on your wrist

      Glad there are people get it. Tube band works perfect for me, door anchor point lets you do everything. Easy on the hands is a huge plus, I would never want my skin get ripped off or cost extra to buy their glove.

  • @mentaliusDK
    @mentaliusDK Рік тому +3

    Didn´t convince me at all. I´ve had both and enjoyed both. However you can step on both, you can use dooranchors with both. It´s a little - not much - easier to bring the loop-bands to the park, the tubes has more options at home in my experience. It´s easier with the tubes to - in a bicep-curling, for instance - switch from both hands to one - then the other hand. But of course you only sell loop-bands:/

  • @deborahd.7281

    I've enjoyed band training so far, but I found that I had a very difficult time doing deadlifts as my hands were giving out way before my legs. I bought a bar primarily for deadlifts - and it has made a huge difference. I use it for squats sometimes as well. I don't need it so much for upper body, but I found that the resistances I'm using for lower body exercises were just too much for my hands to manage sometimes.

    James I can understand your points about not using a platform (05:22), and it definitely makes sense. Do you find however, that you need to always wear shoes if you want to use your feet to anchor the bands? AND potentially even worry about the pressure that the bands will put on the sides of your shoes? I mean this is why you have those reinforced gloves... but what about for your feet?

And thinking seriously to switch completly on them. One because trained with the bands all lockdowns periods, second because fully apreciated them when I been diagnosed with rheumatoidal arthrisis last december. And you know?. After back to the gym could lift almost the same weights what I been lifting before. Why?, Because the bands, After diagnosis had a struggle to exercising with the light one , but with the time it's been getting better and better.

The first 4-weeks of the program focuses on creating a foundation of unanchored exercises, so that you have the freedom to take your workouts anywhere. In the next phase of the program, the intensity increases with anchored exercises and new angles. In the last 4-weeks, even more, exercises are introduced to keep you progressing.
