- Looking for Resistance Bands exercises to build a big chest? Believe it or not you can approach a chest workout, using only resistance bands, the same way you would with free weights or machines.

Thanks man he should pin ya
Adolfo Foronda thanks
Adolfo Foronda i want to do that too 😂
Adolfo Foronda MVP!
This man is a savior.. As a truck driver who lives in a box with a codriver this mans knowledge is life changing.
That's why I'm here. It's hard to get to the gym when you driving tractor trailers
Good to know. I do physicals on a lot of truckers. Always looking for ways to keep them healthy.
Tell me about it! Not only am I a Truck driver, but I deliver new semi trucks and have to get on an airplane twice a week on average. I have to keep my weights low on luggage. Resistance Bands are the truth!
Im a trucker driver too bro i picked up 60 pounds time to eat right and just got these bands inreally feel the burn i think it will work
James is a true fitness GURU and a amazing coach. His knowledge is unbelievable, we can always learn something from him.
Totally get a better contraction with the bands. Great workout
This set comes with 5 bands of varying resistance, a storage bag, ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxS7ex6L4sMqpaTn4LnBPyBmRQsSingL8y a small pamphlet with some sample exercises, and an access code for an online workout video. I haven't viewed the online video, so I cannot speak to the quality of that piece of the set. However, everything else is perfect for what I was looking for. The bands are durable, and the resistance strength varies enough between bands that they're each useful for different exercises and provide a great challenge as you gradually increase the resistance level for certain exercises. The only band I don't use very often is the lowest resistance band, but even that is nice for exercises that target weaker/seldom used muscle groups.
02:40 Single arm press (incline) + Push ups (incline)
SUPER SET 1
10:30 cable flys (low position) + push ups with bands (decline)
SUPERSET 2
15:45 push up with bands (regular) + single „hook“ flys

Dedicated to hard work and Adolfo 😉
Joj1n thank you 🙏
Thank you this was such great help didn't really know what to exactly name the last exercise lol
Really enjoying this series of using bands for your workout. As a submariner I am very limited to workout equipment. We have bands onboard the submarines but no one uses them just because the lack of knowledge on how to use them. Having this video really helps out and will use this as a reference to whenever I go underway. I hope to see more content like this one. This really helps out our submarine force in a fitness way. Thank you!
Franklin Serrata hey brother. That’s awesome! If you can workout on the bottom of the ocean it proves you can workout anywhere. That would be an awesome video
Dude I was on a boat in the 80s. wish we had bands back then. Arrooogaa DIVE DIVE
Hey Frank!
I'll hook you up with a nice discount on a set of bands if I can get a picture of you training underwater.
I fell from a two story house lost two cervical, dislocated a shoulder my son is a physical therapist and recommended the bands he gave me as present to replace my free weights. I am convinced on the bands versatility and flexibility to build muscle and loose fat! Thank you for the reassurance ! I am a Marine Vet that likes to be ready in shape still at age 60!
I'm 68, USMC, and seeing gains. I drive a semi, have a 30"×60" floor. You'll be fine.
It works bro this for video I've been using bands for two years I'm 47 and it works God bless brothers thank you again .
Denise Villanueva did you get results quick
I was introduced to band's after getting a shoulder injury and learning that they just weren't for rehab but also for fitness and they helped out a lot
I went and bought a 25kg band after watching this video so i can add it to my work out and man do i have to say that it kicked my ass!! Bands are the real deal and i never expected it to be so affective. You can feel the difference and it is intense. He made it look so easy! I didnt know how to use them before but now i have an idea on how it all works. Subscribed!
That's great! Thanks for the sub, I've got a lot of new resistance band content on the way.
Hey man i bought these bands from schmitty. These bands go over 300lb . crazy....check out schmitty resistance bands you wont regret it.
Thank you for this! I currently don’t have time to hit the gym. I have bands at home but don’t know what to do with them or where to start. I really appreciate your knowledge. Would love to see more videos like this
What a great environment to be doing a workout in! At 55 yrs young, bands are the way to go for me. No piles of weights laying around just pure in the moment no fuss no muss exercice.
Thanks so much for this video....My workouts are usually outside at the playground and I did many of these with my bands and what a difference it has made in the intensity of my workouts!! I am going to incorporate some into my Total Body Conditioning program with my students and clients. Excellent video....💪🏻👍🏻💋
Wow James.....what a treasure trove of information. At 64, retired St Paul, Mn firefighter, I’m still working out. Bought bands and excited by your videos and philosophy of training. Wish I was years younger having found you! Definitely a fan here in Minnesota.
I think this was legit the best chest workout I’ve ever done. I included triceps into the superset too. I’m completely exhausted lol
Can’t wait for the next band workout. As always great video by James Grage.
Still looking back a these awesome training journeys. JG never Stop 🛑 kicking it like this!!
Here i am watching this one for the 3rd tome lol. Ty james. Really would love more content. U have helped change my life when it cones to my training
Love using bands when I can't go to the gym , with bands do what feels good , right and target the muscle !

I've done the same exercises with the cross cable, but I like the bands more, because of the variable resistance. You get the most where you need it the most.
Resistance Bands are the way to go for men/women who travel for work, changes the game. As a OTR truck driver I start my day training in my trailer. It’s not how I built my physique but most I certainly am making more gains.
James has dropped some more knowledge on us👊👊
Been doing your workouts for almost a month. There's reallu some great progress with bands compared to free weights. Lost some weight in a month. Thank you so much James. More videos please. Much love from the philippines.
I'm a truck driver that is also a very frequent flyer (Usually on a plane twice a week). Glad I found your channel! You've gained a new subscriber here with me!
James, thank you so much for your resistance band videos. They have helped and guided me so much. About a year ago, I injured my shoulder precisely because those stabilization muscles were weak (rotator cuff of course). I tried and failed many times to get back to my normal state. Through trial and error I had to discover the correct way to work out again while maintaining those neglected muscles. I have to say that your videos are really teaching me so much. I finally understand proper form for these exercises because of you. I never thought about the concept of connecting the mind and the muscle. I apply this now everytime I workout. Anyways, I have a long way to go and thank you for being the light in the darkness!
Just dome my first workout with bands,loved it! Cancelled my gym membership because of work commitments and was a bit skeptical about bands compared to weights. But I think there better, range of motion, joint friendly, and all the money I'm saving not going to gym. Got a really good pump and all in the comfort of my home, brilliant!
I think Mr. Grage is using Wodfitter's brand of bands, which range from approx. $10USD to about $109USD on Amazon (depending on whether your purchasing single or multiple bands up to a full set of 5). Hope this helps. Excellent video series. Discovered his workout programs by accident. James Grage is the man! Thank for this! Cool cat!
This all started from aircraft carrier jets, bungee cord, & Bobby Hinds and The Lifeline Gym. I say this not with the intent to undermine Mr. Grage or his product "Undersun Fitness." I like them. I like his knowledge and methodologies. I am merely stating a fact as to the origins of resistance band training; nothing more, nothing less.
Firstly, I enjoy the I formation. Been workout with iron for 35 years. Incorporated different types of bands starting 10 years ago. Sometimes I notice if I do heavy bands for chest press or a hydrid flye, the band stretches around the back of my arm or elbow. The repetitive action caused me a lot of pain. I now never place a band over my tricep or elbow, but under my arms for chest. For shouldres I mainly stick to performing raises when using them. Keep up the great vids.
This is top quality info. Working out with bands is such an elegant solution to fitness. I hope you keep doing this series. I would love to see you take a guy from noob to shredded with only bands. You would start a movement.
I bought some bands a month ago not knowing to much about them, just to stretch my shoulders as I always mess them up. Liked it so I decided to do more. After a couple weeks now of only bands, honestly best I’ve felt in years, thnx James, used to watch your videos years ago on a different channel I think, now all bands and watching them again haha
What a view to have while working out!!! looking at the ocean makes me feel more empowered than looking at the wall of the gym...makes me envy you James 🙄🙄🙄
Now i know what i need for Christmas mas!! With bands i never have to worry about missing a workout like i have been ,bands i feel are a game changer and feel like there popularity will increase ,theres so many reasons to have and love them, dont see why they shouldnt be included in my training ,loads of beneficial qualities
Did anyone else notice the sneaky product placement? If you focus...you can see it.
Great video. Learning lots.
Super set with the GREEN band this is real strong workout
Being a patient of Physical & Occupational Therapy, I've used bands for the longest time, yet one exercise I haven't yet figured out how to mimic with bands is the Torso Rotation.
Those band sprints have got to be great muscle builders. Very innovative. Like hills sprints for legs.
Your channel on bands helped me a lot make a decision on buying a lat Machine or bands for my home gym. I went with bands and have to say I love them. I use them for all Cable exercises along with free weights.
I just implemented bands along with free weights and calisthenics work. Week one bands. Week two calisthenics week 3 bands.
I've never felt stronger and gains are coming. Btw I'm 45 and could kick the shit out of 20 year old me. Lol nice vid. Thanks.
Yeah, 18 year old me was skinny and weak. Mid-40s me now looks like a ripped grandpa. Never too late to hit the weights.
jeff the Dad you need to get the 20 year old you on your 45 year old you program, even up the odds!!!!!
Hmmmm I like your workout style 🤔🤔🤔 May have to try it for the summer thanks Jeff the dad
Glad I found your channel. Trying to get back into fighting shape - just bought a bunch of bands with the determination to use them, and then I realized I don’t know how to use them. Lol. Now I do. Thanks!
Excellent point on how well that bands work the stabilizer muscles. 👍
Also the bands, unlike free weights or a cable, are not going to wrench your arm if you go too 'heavy'.
I think is great!! Sometimes we just need to commit ourselves, disciplined and determination👍
Excellent vid! You demonstrated a total body workout, but with combo exercises, which saves time. I also appreciate how you explained good form- so important to prevent injuries! Would like to have seen some glute isolation. Thanks for this great vid!
Thanks for the feedback! i'll add your suggestion to my list of things to touch on in future content.
Love this video so much! James you answer everything confidently + respectfully. BPI attempted to dumb down your concepts which are beyond truthful and logic... it's seems high effective. I've used cable and bands. I'm rocking with bands and cables. Im a stroke survivor so I'm working bro. Thanks for this video bro!
thanks so much for doing these, i have completed 158 pounds of fat loss and am really working hard on muscle gain but big weights are hard for me at my age and with the lingering side effects of obesity, plus i don't always have a workout partner so its hard to push past 7 thenths, these really, really help
Great video. I bought a couple bands to work on my rotator cuff. Then I discovered that they are great for working serratus. Now I'm using them more and more. I like to work out at home so much easier with bands.
James, I've been watching all your band videos. Good work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. I've studied how to workout since I was a teenager. I agree with everything. You have taught me more band skills. I have started doing 4 sets with that explosive sprint at the end. This is the best. It just makes sense to target the type two fibers this way.
Great video, breakdown and insight! Will definitely incorporate this in my next chest workout.
The BPI Shredded BCAAs are my favorite in the fruit punch flavor. I mix it with Spirulina ,ACV and Psyllium husk.
15:34 "You're actually literally dying." lol
Just getting into resistance band training (X3 system) Thanks for all the knowledge, and pointers. Looking forward to getting started
Thank you james for the video. I been looking for workout videos for resistance band workouts. Thank you for making these videos. Looking foward to all the band videos
Mr James thanks for introducing resistance bands and i started using them, even though undersun is currently unavailable in Amazon India due to Covid19 so may be later on ... thanks
Dude, your stuff is always top notch. I love the bands you make. Such a great workout and your videos are wonderful. Thank you so much.
Taking a quick break from these workouts to say thanks, never have I felt my chest puff, even with proper form on the weight bench. I'm so sad that it didn't work but listening to my body, these have my chest blazing.
legs workout with resistance band please
Just do sprints
@@razinbcn shouldnt. meniscus re tear
Great talk. Bands are much better than people give them credit for
Those back tattoos are sick.
OSCAR NAVAS Why are you here? To hate on tattoos?
@OSCAR NAVAS Agree....These guys are really screwing up"
Great video. Concise and to the point. Thank you.
*"So guys, how much product placement do you want?"
*"Yes."
😂
Good info!
BPI is a great product. I used to work for Gold's gym here in Dallas and I sold a shit ton of BPI mainly the BCAA line. Great tips here on the chest workout.
Always great stuff in your channel. I love to keep my body guessing.
JAMESI think these are amazing workouts I have always thought bands were great if utilized properly . I.am really excited to see legs that is the one that has eluded me with bands . Thanks for a tremendous job. You both are amazing .
love this dude. so much good information
Never in my life have i seen a desk with a "protein forest" on it :p ... great vid as always though
That opening exercise you are doing at the very beginning is something that is hard to duplicate with weights but it is of vital importance for shot-putters. If you try to imitate that movement with weights then you need an incline bench and then you don't have the body twist that you would have when throwing. And if you do that movement with dumbbells then the body twisting will add momentum to the weight and take away from the effectiveness of the incline push. BANDS GOOD.
Great info! Just started with the bands. Thanks for the video. Look forward in learning more from you.
this is fantastic. thank you for the effort in making this video.
You got it! Thank you for tuning in.
Great info James, thank you!
Good afternoon James. How are you? I hope you and your family are well and healthy during this unfortunate time. I was wondering if you were to do a full upper body workout (arms, chest, abs, and back) what exercises would you do? Thank you for your time. Great video. Please keep them coming. Stay safe.
Awesome video, I also like you channel so you have won a subscriber
Great video and I'm diggin' the V-Moda's!!! My new set of exercise bands were just delivered, so I'm going to be checking in here for exercises to do with the bands because I'm new to using them. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
It’s resistance, your muscles only know resistance
I love it thank you so much best workout ever better than weights
James Thanks a lot for making the videos like I asked under your old Band conversation
Fantastic video, Thank you!
Love what you’re doing keep the content coming thanks 🙏
Great information.
I just made the switch to bands. Subbed
Great workout for my Karate
That's a good point about the smaller muscle geting injured I wana work out today
Thanks to James grage.. Youve helped me out big time during this covid lockdown.. I find I get a better workout using bands... My question is - I'm 49 yrs old and quite a slim guy, I want to put on a bit of muscle just to give me a Shape and have my clothes fit better, I don't want to be massive,.. Will these resistance bands help build muscle and put a bit of size on me.. I do find I get better muscle tension and no injuries, the bands allow me to push a heavier resistance without needing a spotter, or being scared to lift heavy weights in case of injury,.. Your help on this would be appreciated.. Thanks
I feel like this might be easier on my bad shoulder than free weights
I haven't been to the gym in over a year, the result from that has been 0 PAIN!
Nice, ive got elastic bands through rings in my livingroom, they are fantastic! If i want low impact cardio i just do different stuff, rowing, pulling, pushing, streching. My fav.. and i get ripped a.f. but iam ecto so it aint that hard.
Maybe.........overdone it with bottles of sups on the table.....?
Hamish McEwan they were there in the marketing conf room for a branding/packaging meeting - so we worked around them
I just thought it was really subtle product placement.
Didn't even notice them 👻
James Grage you natty brah ?
I liked the decor...... shrugs
I would love to see a before after progression video with bands only.
Great info man u been one ofy idol going on 3 yrs now
Great video and information as usual. I workout in my home gym with free weights and bands. I have all sorts of anchor points. I really like bands.
Nice work man, have issues with a stomach hernia at the minute so I’ve been doing lower impact stuff with bands. Always have used them though in some shape or form. Keep up the good work brother...peace.
stephen elliot thanks brother! Wish you a speedy recovery
I was using bands at a park some old drunk guy threw an apple at me and called me a queer...bands actually work well...I just don't like fruit thrown at me
haha, funny
I hope that guy went home regretting he threw away his apple, all because he was envious of your resistance band gains.
...Some people.
I would whiplash him with my bands until he cries and yell "who's the queer now?" at him.
Hahahahah funny dude
Use the band to slingshot that apple right back at the bastard...
...at considerably higher velocity too ;)
Awesome video! Been watching your videos non-stop and just received my Undersun bands today. Thank you for all this! What is the song in the opening?
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK MATEY 💪🏼😎
Well he pioneered in including bands in workout big names like Jeff caviler etc upload video after him but still he's so under rated...🤔🤔
need more bands workout videos james... I'm traveling now and only got my bands.
the portability and unexpensiveness of these bands is all I need to know, they're so convenient!
Great video. Thanks. Do you only use resistance bands? I've been using them a couple weeks and they seem to be working great!
Hey Paul!
I've been out of the gym for over a year now, i've been training exclusively with resistance bands.
I wanna move to Florida, and work at BPI.
My new hero.
He is the man!!! Smart fellow.
