Tension Bands
Thinking about future videos.....What are some resistance band questions that you have?
On the bands itself:
- How long do they last? (I read about 1 year)
- Maximum stretch of a band?
- Did a band ever snap?
On pull excercises:
The strength curve for pull Excercises are not ideal for resistance bands, as it gets harder the closer you get to your body.
Any tips on this? I was thinking about taking a lighter band and pre-stretching, so there is less variability?
Thanks for your videos James! I originally bought a set of the power band style like the ones you sell to do assisted pull ups because I'm terrible at pull ups and wanted to get better. Eventually I want to use them for resisted pull ups when I get stronger at them! You can either loop them inside themselves to the pull up bar like you did to the door anchor, and put you knees inside, or you can string the band across a large cage style weight rack on a barbell rest if it has multiple rests kinda like a belt, put your knees on top, and use them that way to help with your pull ups. I hope I'm making sense! Just a thought for your videos!!
It would be interesting to see positive effects of RBT in terms of strength development results measured in the three powerlifting movements.
@@RenatIlyasov I love deadlifting with bands, by stacking them up you can go pretty "heavy". Benchpress should work if you work with a bench. Not so sure about squats with multiple bands/heavy resistance.
@@rvb4212 the bench is roughly substituted by resistance bands push ups (along with some obvious additional benefits of push ups over the flat BP). The question is how well do the RB push ups replace the BP in terms of developing strength in the movement.
Resistance bands are transforming my life. I’m 56 and have had a lot of injuries (mountain biking) and bands have allowed me to increase my core strength exponentially increased and my knees, back, flexibility and overall fitness and wellness has improved greatly!👍👍👍
This is by far the best channel about resistance bands. Nice video!
ACHV PEAK is another good one
Definitely
I can't wait I just ordered my resistance bands I actually tried the 3X resistance bans which was $580. I did not like it for that amount of money and what I did was I sent it back with a total of $30 for shipping to California. I will be happy to get these under $200!
Extra-Pro tip: If you have to do anchor from the open side of the door, try to anchor it on the HINGE side of the door. There is a lot of extra hardware to pull against and almost no chance that the door will come open. (most doors have enough room to squeeze a foam pad through when fully open)
Not only can you take bands to the moon, but they're just as effective out there, unlike free weights which loose their effectiveness as gravity lowers.
Good point.lol
No gravity on the moon.
never even thought about that
@@PrayingWarfare you don't need gravity to use resistance bands, and btw, while the moon has less gravity than earth, it's still a massive object with a gravitational pull.
@@sharky2606
Well, true, but 2 anchor points instead of 1 on the moon.
I’ve been working out for a couple of weeks with these resistance bands, and they’re awesome. I now feel a lot more fibers being activated in my muscles, which I’ve never felt by working out with free weights. I now understand the concept of constant resistance in all movement planes. I love the amount of possibilities that you have when it comes to adjusting the level of resistance for each exercise. It doesn’t matter when gyms will open up again. I literally just cancelled my membership. Best of all, I can do any workout from home, or when I go to the beach with my friends and family, I use to miss those moments because I preferred to go to the gym. Now I can do both activities together and take my “portable gym” everywhere with me.
Agreed. The amount of workout you can get with resistance band is as much as equivalent as free weight in a fitness center. Love that you can workout anywhere. Easy to pack. Lightweight. This is a game changer.
Hey James, I'm a woman , who's been working out with weights, for 34 years. 4 months ago, I stopped using weights, and bought several kinds of flat bands. I get a much better workout, and my strength has significantly increased, even my grip strength. I use an old motorcycle helmet bag, to store them in. I love flat bands!! You're a good teacher, and you know that you should listen your body, to determine your workout, not numbers. The positive results show up in your body. Thanks a bunch, for your videos. You helped me get started with flat bands, and now I'm hooked. 🙂
Thank you for the feedback! Glad I can help!
Hey James
Just a note
I’ve also noticed that my grip strength has improved considerably since using the bands
Compared to free weights
Added bonus
Thanks for the vid
👍👍
I agree. I'm getting up in age and the bands have made a huge difference in grip strength and comfort. I was skeptical at first but the bands are becoming my go to.
Great info James. My wife and I have been using the bands for the last three weeks. Excellent workouts. So many variations and options. She has actually started looking forward to working out since we go outside and complete our workouts at home. Thanks for your content and giving people options. As I have gotten older, the ability to get a good workout and protect my joints, tendons and ligaments is where I place value. Be blessed and continue your vision to health and wellness.
Hey Jeff! Thank you for the awesome feedback my friend!
I have been seriously working out for almost 40 years with free weights, cable machines and exercise bands/tubes. In my experience, James Grage gives very honest, useful, no-nonsense exercise advice. What he says lines up very well with my own experience. He is someone worth listening to and learning from.
Marine Corps veteran and current law enforcement here and gotten the best workouts possible out of these videos. Thanks for all the info James and keep up the good work. Really appreciated
Here’s the thing. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxS7ex6L4sMqpaTn4LnBPyBmRQsSingL8y These are not meant to be stretched to 12ft or 14ft or whatever else where you’re a 6ft person, stepping in the band and trying to do standing shoulder presses. If they tear, (assuming they’re not defective) then you’re trying to stretch them way too far. For a full body stretch, bands should be like three feet long, doubled over. Don’t buy the bad press. A fully extended reverse fly is avoid as far as you should stretch these. If it’s too easy, use more than one band at a time.Not rocket science.
If i was unsure before, this sealed the deal. Im buying these!
Hey Miles! Glad to hear it my friend! Welcome to the Tribe!
Same, my job is 100% travel, I live out my luggage. Normal pushups only do so much.
Your channel is great James!I have been using bands for about 2 yrs. now and have gained a lot of muscle mass from using them.Great to see someone bringing to light the benefits of the bands.I have friends that workout constantly and they cant believe that is all that i use.(besides kettlebell swings)
I am so glad I found RBT on UA-cam. Two years ago I plunked down a wad of cash for X-3, and know the value of resistance bands. Now I see the advantage of working without the bar, and turning my wrists to squeeze out the last bit of resistance. Thank you for these excellent videos, and your very informative coaching. I am a 78 year old geezer and thanks to band training am in the top tier of my age group for physical fitness.
Great video. Working out based on the feel and not numbers has really flipped my brain around about how successful my workouts end! Thanks for all the info in your vids.
Hey Oliver. Thank you brother. Yeah man, training by "feel" is where it's at, whether training with bands or weights.
I used your 20, 10, 10, 15 rep scheme for my workout yesterday and OMG it was an amazing burn.
Good stuff, James!!! I have tube style bands. So, I take the handles off and do your style 20-10-10-15, and it really is awesome. Using tubes or bands is way better than not doing anything. Thanks for the your insights and techniques.
Bands are just awesome! I have been doing RB push ups and I like them more than the bench press.
Have RB push ups developed your chest?Looking forward to try them!
Bro you're making me a believer in resistance bands for strength, I've been using them for warm ups and progression only.
Thank you ! I love the bands and love learning new ways to use them !
breana carrisosa hey Breana. Thank you! 🙏
I am beginner to the resistance bands. Before i buy some of them i watched many of your video in order to see if they are suitable for me and if they are do good job.
Thank you very much for you help from your useful videos.
I feel you like my personal trainer.
Thank you a lot!!
just brought my first set of bands in the hope of getting a bit of exercise at work as my work is sitting down on my butt. i have looked at different videos on youtube and hours of free time on websites but this 20 minute video is by far the most comprehensive bit of information on how to use these ...thank you for all the information!- concider me liked , and subscribed and i even clicked the bell icon...
James Grage, I just started using undersun bands not long ago and liking them very much. I am a truck driver and as you know health is a serious matter for this industry. Most of my questions have been answered through other videos of yours. My question or request of videos would be how to use your bands to stretch out muscles and joints safely with the use of the bands after being in the driver seat of a truck for what can be up to a 14 hour day. Thank you for all the info you put out there for us all.
Awesome video again James.
This is the only channel that takes bands seriously, the others are all hocus pocus house wife type of videos.
I've been a nomad for the last 4 years, couldn't work out anymore I thought. 2 months training with bands now and I'm hooked. I love every aspect of it and I feel a little bit like a beginner again as there are little tricks that make bands so effective.
Thanks James!
Hey my friend. Yeah I know a lot of people don't take bands seriously, but they are a seriously effective tool for building muscle. Next month will be 2 years of using bands exclusively.
Great videos. Had to watch them again. Now I back into. Bands workouts again.
As someone who can't really afford trainers at the gym, but absolutely love to workout, getting the form of exercices right is journey in itself, hence I happen to watch workouts on youtube and learn forms and doing them as correctly as possible, and you do an amazing job at teaching/ explaining that. You take the time to explain everything possible so that it becomes so much easier to execute them
I just received my resistance bands today! Ready to get this good money 💴 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 right here!
Because of you I have just purchased the power bands. Never really understood how you could have a band only workout with results until I watched your videos.
It’s amazing as I suffer from anxiety and gyms make me feel uncomfortable. Thank you so much
Always great band instructions from James. Got into resistance band workouts because of him. Thanks. More please.
Another great video idea. Which would probably convince more people that this is another great choice for working out. Is to make a side by side or a machine/freeweights substitute video with the bands. Like how to do lat pulldows machine/bands. Skullcrushers with barbell/bands. A simple video in how to set up the bands to do the exact same exercises that you would in a gym. But with bands. Like a catalogue of every weight exercise along side its equivalent with bands.
That's a great idea! Very good suggestion for future videos!
These tips are even more relevant now that all of the commercial gyms are closed/closing. James Grage, thank you so much for these videos!
Trying to make myself a home gym to start a fitness journey. I was ready to invest hundreds of dollars to get set up with a minimal free weight set up. I am excited I found you channel because I feel like now I can get away with a pullup bar, some gymnastics rings, resistance bands and some sandbags. The resistance bands were the ticket item here that filled the need for a ton of gear. My wife and I just had our first baby and its time for me to get active and be there for the new adventures with the family. Wish me luck!
Between the great information and training that James provides and Dave Schmitz (the band man) offers, you got ALL you'll ever need regarding bands... Thanks James, I'm enjoying the heck out of your videos... and also... I bought you Train Anywhere course... It's fantastic! Recommended to all!
Cliff Mp hey my friend! Thank you very much! I really appreciate the support and happy to hear that you’re loving the program! 👊
I agree although I would also include Blake Kassel who I followed when I first got serious about working out with bands. Between these three guys, I feel like I have all the knowledge I need to use bands effectively and I use the exercises and ideas from all three when working out.
James, just bought these and watching your videos I was actually amazed at the different levels and directions that I can do, thank you so much man keep this going, loving it, God Bless.
This is the best info about resistance bands (my bands have been gathering dust for awhile now as most youtube instructions I came across with are mediocre, to say the least...Now I'm scoring me new resistance bands, I just hope Undersun products ships to Hong Kong...
Intuitive training/perceived exertion and functional strength are my two favorite elements of bands.
Awesome video, very informative and clear. Continue with your resistance bands videos, best on UA-cam. Thx.
JM LR 👊 thank you!
11:13 was literally mind blown!.. smashed that subscribe button in an instant.
James, I have to thank you for these videos. I have a job that has me on the road all the time. I spend most of my time traveling and hotels. Finding hotels with decent gyms or near a gym can be difficult. Finding your videos and honest opinions on RBT has helped a ton. I ordered your bands and am finally getting good workouts while I am on the road. Best of all, I dont spend my weekends home in a gym anymore. Your videos inspire me to keep working out and staying strong.
Sir I have never seen that side lateral raise idea this is brilliant it may be better than weighted version. Thanks lot for teaching this exercise :)
Fantastic tips and very useful ! Most people (me) would not know these and it makes a big difference ! Thanks James
After 40 years of powerlifting, my poor body has taken its abuse... I just got these bands and LOVE them you cannot beat these and talk about a workout. I thought I got a good workout when I was lifting pig iron but let me tell you... you will get a better workout in a shorter period of time by far. Plus you can take this where ever you go... no need to look for a gym or use the hotel's gym if they even have one. Plus at my age who cares about numbers, it's about the workout.
Hey Ron! That's awesome feedback brother! I'm glad you're loving the workouts. Like you said, it's amazing how effective bands are.
Yup after 36 years under the iron myself and as an over 50 lifter?,I've recently come to appreciate band training,anyone that thinks they don't hit as hard as free weights?doesn't know a damn thing
I've got tricep tendonitis in my left arm,tennis elbow in my right arm, shoulder injuries that are older than my eldest son,and these have totally changed the way I train,can't recommend them highly enough
Though I still.use kettlbells for legs (Bulgarian split squat and reverse lunges) bands have taken over almost my entire upper body work
@@deanwaller8283 I hear you brother.
@@RonConsumer yep, I loved the iron, but it's left me so beaten up my joints just can't take the pounding anymore, even weighted callesthenics are beating me up, these things have been a real godsend man
@@deanwaller8283, Unfortunately, we all get to that age eventually when our joints just can no longer take the pounding they once did even on 8-week cycles and tearing all the weights back down to the light sets for 4-weeks and jumping back up to the heavy (which comes around quickly I might add... lol) With these bands that James has brought to the market I actually get not only a better workout but I can hit the muscle from different angles just by making slight adjustments. I've used cables like James has indicated I think we all started there but the problem I had was switching out those damn plastic handles when increasing tension of the bands which I seemed to break at least once every 2 months. After I had one handle practically explode that was it for me. But with these bands, I can add as many as I need to increase the tension. However, just because you think you handle more tension does not mean you will have good form. So while I am accustomizing myself to these bands I keep enough tension to where I have good form but very close to failure on my last reps.
Bands are one of the most underrated pieces of fitness equipment. Most of my routine are bands and I haven't lost not one ounce of muscle. Super powerful and less injury prone. I haven't been in a gym in years. It's like an ancient relic at this point.
Are just maintaining your muscles mass with bands or gaining muscles?
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think that bands are optimal for maintain mass and free weights are optimal for gaining mass
@@rodrigosouto9502 you can absolutely gain with bands,you train more frequently,with as much intensity as you like,without beating up your joints
Great Video mate,I just added the resistance bands in to my schedule and this video nailed it.
Your videos are helpful and I’ve started to use them for my main body parts work outs. Thanks. In one your videos you described the bands gloves you use and why these. I can’t find it in your videos. Is that one of your products? What brand are theses gloves and do you have a link where I could order them? thanks in advance.
5:14 And the really cool thing is that, unlike traditional weights, resistance bands don't lose resistance when you use them on the Moon.
This is what I have been looking for, thank you.
Very well explained and demonstrated.
Man good tips always learning more about resistance bands people may not like to hear this stuff but it's key because 0 injury
I was looking into a lot of ways to start working out again. Picked up an old set of bands my wife had and I use to think they sucked, but instead they were amazing. I am definitely adding this to my Christmas list and can’t wait. Best way to work out for sure.
Wow, 2 videos in a row where you talk about the exact detailed thoughts I am wondering about with resistance products. Thanks so much.
Job well done, really nice video! Thanks James
Thanks brother!
I hate you sooo, so much... I started with tube resistance bands 5 years ago because of a lack of access to the gym, i knew they were a good thing but i had no idea i didn't even scratch the surface of their potential till i saw your videos a few months back... and i hate you for making it seem so obvious...
Love the videos, keep up the good work!!!
Haha! I'm happy to have you hate me, if it means that you now love resistance bands!
Bands changed my life, thanks James
Awesome video, extremely inspiring, great content and well presented. I love resistance band training and carry bands wth me everywhere. For me however the most significant downside with resistance bands is they can break and need to be regularly checked and replaced.
Just got some bands thanks for taking the time to do these vids they are great even for 65 year olds atb from North wales
excellent instruction for beginner, so many types and variation with bands
James, I sometimes like to just loop the entire band through the door attachment rather than tying it off in that knot. It allows double resistance for each arm. Again another way of adding resistance to your band training. You can also do the same thing by stepping on top of the entire band, rather than stepping inside the loop, pretty much like you were doing with the side lateral raises, except you use both arms at once instead of just one side at a time. I know this is a little confusing but it is just like when you were doing your bicep and tricep workout video in your warehouse a few years back, using the metal racks as an anchor point (rather than a door with a door attachment). I also have a set of hook handles that I like to use (you can google The Hook) that work beautiful for this type of training, instead of just using your hands, which is ok too. The Hook handles just make the exercises a bit more comfortable. Thanks for the great videos.
Great advice - thanks for sharing.
A trick i use because i use tubes is i hook my ankle straps and insert my feet now it's flipped and i curl well and i'm able to choke more. I think it's also all about how you grow and progress in training. Bless
Nice idea!
Proud Misfit thx so much
Extremely well explained resistance bands, so clear and concise
James, you’re the man!!! 💪🏽thanks for this RBT TA2 channel
Late to the game, but started watching videos, which are very helpful. Some feedback: 1) The brand of bands look terrific & wish I owned--but this is too pricey🥺 2) I started resistance training with looped bands & some without cable. Will have to come up with alternative routines using what I have. Trying not to get into purchasing $$ products if not necessary and unaffordable. Will put this brand on Wish list 😉.
I've been waiting for your next video, glad to see it.
I still have my gym membership but have been using mostly bands all summer and am re-thinking continuing the gym membership. Strength and tone are actually better with the bands. My only problem area is the long bicep muscle...need to take another look at your bands arm video.
I'm 54, looking through the comments I see you've got that demographic solidly behind you. Probably because we've learned not to aggravate injury and to be aware of the movements that create injury. Bands have sooo lowered the muscle pulls, etc AND have really strengthened all those peripheral muscles that stabilize and support.
Keep it up man, I gotta get ready to go play soccer!
M Fawls hey my friend. Thank you for the awesome feedback. Yes, bands are extremely effective, no matter someone’s age - whether you’re in your 20’s, or your 50’s.
Just got my first resistance band. This video was very helpful thanks.
I just started working out with resistance bands..and i must say .It takes some getting used to before you can have such great workouts
Thanks James, I use the tube style and yes, the point you make about linear adjustments is so true. I do have the anchor and ankle straps for additional flexibility of use. Great content 💯🔥
My tube style setup fits in a bag just like your flat bans do, just weigh a little more.
Thanks brother!
bruh i haven't ever used or researched bands until today in preparation for an upcoming semester abroad and wow, I AM SO SHOOK WTF this is crazy. thanks for the videos, products, and programs!
Howd it go?
@@ohioguy727 I'm glad I tried this different type of training! It's not my favorite but I think it's good to add to your repertoire, especially if you have to travel or really don't have access to gym equipment. I'd be interested in trying some of their other programs; I know there's one with more cardio/hiit stuff blended in and that sounds more like my preferred style of training. I did just the basic program and as a woman, I found it disproportionately focused on upper body. There are 4 days of upper body and only one day of legs each week. There is also a lot less variety than I had imagined; within any of the given months in the program, all the weeks are the same exercises, and the lower body is the same throughout the whole 90 days. I'm disappointed with the repetition and the fact that they don't teach more ways to use the bands for lower body, but in the program's defense, it is a strength training program, so the fact that they teach you a set of core moves which you then repeats isn't inappropriate. I might try their other program and see how it goes!
Hi James, I bought your Undersun bands and the Build app program. I’m in the last few weeks of month 3 and wondering where I should go after this. Can I do a reverse pyramid with your bands or should I go back to free weights for 3 months before going back to the bands? Thank you
Hey Ken. So the best thing to do is go back to the beginning of Month 2, when the "anchored exercises" kick in. You can repeat Month 2 & 3. One trick that I like on sets 2 (your first set of 10) is to do an explosive concentric, then do a full 1-second isometric and a 3-second eccentric (negative). This will give you a solid 4+ seconds of TUT, and will really maximize your contractions.
Thanks very much for this series mate, just getting into working out in general and I love the idea of these bands and your series and explanations are perfect and super motivating! I'll be checking out the full collection over the next couple of months, looking forward to getting into shape!
James, i bought your undersunfitness bands and strenght program…i could say i thank you so much for your vision. i have been doing weight traning for a long time, and i could say the injuries are endless. Now thanks for your boldness to step it up to bands. I love it and have been following it for 2weeks now in your 1month program. I will be on the band training program and work outs for a long time. Please keep up the videos and training programs. Thanks again for your wisdom!
Hey Mike! Thank you for this awesome feedback. I really appreciate it
Keep up the good work...you will be helping millions of people. Your wisdom will inspire many! I’m glad I found your training videos on band I wasn’t even aware that bands can be compared to weight training! I’m blown away of how well you apply the knowledge of weights to band. Great job! I will be following your strength training program I’m on week 2 of month 1resting today, tomorrow I have arms. Bands are the future! And you will be the leader! Thanks again! I’m a fan. God bless you and family.
Great video, I believe everyone should get a set of RB even if you have gym subscription because you can use them anywhere anytime.
Discovering Resistance bands was life saving for me. I combine it with bodyweight exercises!
Great video again!! What do you think about doing planks, vs crunches? I did Plank's last night instead of your ab workout
Chris
Another great video. Thanks James
Everything that you can do with loop-style bands, you can do with tube-style bands as well. You can choke up on the tube-style bands after removing the handles and carabiner clips. I prefer the tube-style bands because with the handles the pressure is even at the center of your hand, not all on just one side of your hand.
James I just started doing bands and they are Awesome! Will you be putting new videos out soon?
I like watching your videos as they are informative. How would you use the bands for abb exercises when you aren't in the gym?
Simon Froggatt place the band at a high anchor point. Get down on your knees holding the band behind your head, and crunch down using your abs.
James Grage do you ONLY workout with the bands and not anything else or do you use weights aswell
Great video, I've been working out(body building) for about 10 years now and have never tried bands. Thank you for the advice I'm excited to get started. Do you recommend the clench fitness handles??
What I particularly liked in this video doesn't even have to do anything with resistance bands; it was the recognition of how fluctuating your workout experience can be. I started to train in my teenage years, and honestly never experienced steady, consistently increasing strength or volume capacity; there are so many factors that influence our performance. A lot of people make it sound like you can just expect to continually increase your weights or do more reps in each workout. And then when you have different experiences you get frustrated and you question yourself.
We aren't actually that good in timing the concentric and eccentric parts of the repetitions to begin with, so the time under tension can vary quite a bit with the same reps. We simply aren't robots. It's much more fruitful to focus on fatiguing as many muscle fibers as we can, with time under tension in the ballpark for ideal hypertrophy.
Hi man, i am enjoining this series a lot! Could you answer a quick question: How can i prevent bands to break?
Thales Souza Freire hey my friend. Bands should last a long time as long as you follow a few precautions. The first is making sure that you never anchor them against anything rough or sharp. Natural latex is very durable as far as stretching but they can get damaged easily from sharp surfaces. The other thing you want to do is keep them dry and out of the sun when storing them.
I really enjoy your awesome videos! I have a permanent foot injury and will eventually have a fusion on it but I'm really enjoying the resistance bands workouts and since I am toning and doing alot of reps I have noticed that it almost feels like I'm getting a cardio workout too because of doing upper body resistance bands. It's hard for me to get cardio using my feet but I occasionally ride a bike which I love and I will join a swimming pool oneday for cardio.I have to thank you for your inspiring videos. Have a great day!
thankyou for mentioning the gloves! I've only been doing free weights at the gym all this tine. I just bought a set of bands and the first thing I noticed was how the bands hurt my skin. was looking everywhere for solutions but nobody ever mentions the gloves. although in hindsight it's commonsense. went and bought myself my first set of gloves. they are a must for bands! I might need some sort of protection for my thighs too when I work on my booty.
question though. I feel like I am using a lot of strength on my hand/arm to grip onto the band rather than using the muslces I'm targeting. any tips please?
This is cool! Clear, practical and logical. Got my first band today, gonna listen and learn...
Question: What combination of resistance bands may I use that is equivalent 175-200 lbs? Thank you!
Which size resistance band use for beginners??? Plz reply
These bands are so dope!
More fitness people should push band workouts and I greatly appreciate what James is doing here. Always good stuff. I would add that tube bands can be grabbed by the tubes to gain more resistance just like the bands. And one advantage of tube bands is if your grip strength is weak you will find it easier to use the tubes with handles to work your muscles and not be limited to your grip strength. I like bands when I don’t have good anchor points ie working outside. Band workouts are great! Keep showing us the way.
thank you do you plan have any more updates video on resistance bands thanks
Fantastic video! I'm trying to decide, and I think your video convinced me. BTW, do you exclusively exercise with these power bands, or do you still work out with free weights?
with dumbbells u can use it forever. with band u need to replace it every couple months right?
Great technique & tips THANKS
I started incorporating bands into my training, and man, they are hard work (in a very good way)
It's shocking how effective they really are!
@@JamesGrage I find them most effective with the obliques
Thanks for the video James. I was about to order some Torrobands because I liked the idea of having handles. I will reconsider but have a question. When the resistance gets high, does not this hurt your hands, being that you don't have handles?
Great video... been using bands for a while and in the field during military training they are so convenient and while downrange...also great for Karate!
Thanks for the tips. Great instructional video
Love the fake door! Also, great introduction into bands.
Your videos are really motivating! I learned alot from you! Thank you!
