Sylvester Stallone recently said that at his age bands are what have allowed him to train regularly and hard. Another winner of a video Mike.
I got to find that video! Thanks Lou as always.
I have moved entirely to resistance bands and body weight exercises. Much less stress on the joints and resistance bands still provide a nice pump, but without the pressure on the joints from weights. I think the less stress on the joints is a huge factor for those of us with injuries, or even people who might be unable to get to the gym, or don't have the space to invest in weights and machines. Plus, a set of resistance bands is relatively cheap compared to weights and machines. You will also notice that different brands of resistance bands have different levels of elasticity to them. I have rogue bands and clench bands and they are different in their feel and elasticity, which provides for an interesting comparison.
Pull-Aparts are EXCELLENT for delts/back & my go to exercise for delts which I hit after chest, statics/negative emphasis are FIRE for the delts!
Agreed 👍

Bands to me are absolutely fantastic in terms of feel but it is true that you have to be careful what you're attaching them to because I found out the hard way to NOT attach them to trees, because the rough bark will sheer them.
I for sure learned that the hard way too
@@hybridresistance Yep LOL! I found that attaching them to the roof-rack of a car works very well for triceps/back/chest exercises.
Guys....easy solution. I simply purchased two quality elastic velcro waist slimmers....(the same old fashioned black waist bands that you wrap around your gut to help lose inches..lol) simply get a good pair that are wide and XL. Wrap it around the tree trunk and velcro it. Use that as your base layer to keep your bands from touching the bark. You may need both waist bands if your tree has a huge diameter like mine does. I use a mighty Oak....due to the long length of my bands. I love tree presses...it allows you to focus on the press rather than fighting the pulling force against you as you press.
The waist bands are sweet because they travel well too and are light.
@@ToddDolce Great idea!
This is where a band protector is used. Serious Steel makes a band protector as well as Clench and Undersun Fitness.
I have gone from a home gym to an apartment, and I only have room for Bands and dumbbells. I really am learning more about using what I have and am once again, enjoying my workouts. I just found your videos, last week and have enjoyed hearing someone else opinion of bands. Great Job!!
Thanks Steve. Also happy you found the channel
Doing chest pulls I found it helps keep my shoulder lose by turning the wrists up as you push outwards. I had shoulder problem and doing this with a band and doing them around the back and pull-out wards. with arms going back and down wrists up.
Try the bent over row with bands and foot plate, but without a bar. Grab the loops with gloves or grippads. The ROM and the squeeze at the end are epic. Feels incredible.
Very informative! Thanks for sharing, Mike! 👍
Thanks Larry
Bands its the future. 4 years using it. And i used weights for 30 years!
I have been primarily using bands, but just ordered Clench Nexus bar and some bumper plates. Going to start incorporating that with my Powerblocks for variety.
Nice combo right there.
This is the routine I employ. Bands and Dumbbells. I also use the tube style bands ( GoFit Brand only ) started this after shoulder surgery. It has done wonders for my grip and forearm strength. I use Rogue, Serious Steel and Undersun. Zero snapped bands over 3 years. I added 5.5 and 7 inch carabiners to allow for safe operation and ease of attaching and detaching. I believe the F2 bar will be a future addition. Thanks Mike for the video
Thanks for sharing man. Great to hear those bands lasted that long.
I've been superseding cables/machines with bands, especially for shoulders and arms. My favorite ban exercises are lateral raises, high pulls, y raises, hammer curls, and tricep kick backs.
Hammer curls and anchored band kick backs are definitely great as well.
Recently, I started using a set of Serious Steel 12" anchored high with a nice carribenier to connect it to a tricep rope. Give it a try. It has become a favorite of mine.
Also, I prefer standing anchored banded chest flys (2 bands mounted wide apart behind me) to dumbbell. I find the bottom part of the movement with db limits how much weight I can utilize and have sometimes felt strain in the armpit trying to get them moving while on a bench.
Thanks an awesome. I think I have some of their 12s, so I will definitely try that.
Total Gym multigym dumbells I use them all in one workout 56 year old here 🏋️ 1 body part a day per week that works for me great video Mike
Love to hear that Silvio. Thanks for that comment.
For the algo.
Resistance bands or adjustable dumbbells for traps?
Love the concept of utilizing both for my adhd workouts when I’m not in the mood for following a hypertrophy split. Sometimes I just want to get ‘movement’ in and the resistance bands are great in minimalism and space without having to pull out the adjustable dumbbells and 5 foot barbell. I feel the ‘burn’ quicker and can superset with body weight stuff like pushups or sit ups.
Nice work and video 💪🏼
Always appreciate it! That’s a tough call but again probably have to say both. Honestly think I’ve been doing more resistance band stuff. I’ve also been using the QT pro t2 as well for some great trap stuff
@@hybridresistance well that went from possible to impossible for me really quick 😂. I can’t wait to one day try that machine. I have found I’m really liking the stretch from the bands and x3 bar for traps. Super easy set up.
im a big fan of bands for biceps, shoulder presses and high volume squats.
for everything else i generally prefer barbells/dumbbells.
for chest pressing motions ive never felt that they work very well, and for any horizontal pulling movements they seem especially bad because the resistance curve of the bands seem to be the total opposite of the strength curve for the muscle
Thanks man. I love when you guys voice your opinion and experience with the equipment on the topics
I think the standing chest press is not as good as when you just simply put the band under a bench and press it up with the bar as with weights. You have more Pre Stretch and it's pretty effective to progressively overload with.
@@rockweapon7895i’ll try that, ty for the advice
I am curious whether you have an opinion about kettlebells. For me, the kettlebell "complexes" are a total gamechanger -- constant rhythmic pattern of clean & press, frontloaded KB squats, swings, etc. over multiple rounds for say 30 minutes straight. You do not exactly build mass in a traditional sense, but you shred the core/obliques and develop a fighter's physique (lean and cut with a V-taper). In lieu of all the elaborate gizmos and gadgets, I am also attracted by a simple metal cannonball with a handle. 💪 I think a kettlebell is indispensable to a home gym so i am surprised i have never seen one in your vids. Cheers mate. 🍻
I used to be big into them and use them more than I do, but for the sake of time/goals they been taking a back seat. I have featured them a bit on some older videos. I think they're great for those reasons you listed, but maybe are less ideal in targeting specific areas for muscle hypertrophy. I'm actually this summer to do more with them, but also find that less people are interested in them as a whole on the channel.
Pullaparts are excellent
Are resistance band flys better than dumbbell flys (more resistance at the top and crossing the midline)?
This is one pair that I think is a great to incorporate both to get the best of both worlds. Would make for an awesome compound set.
Haven’t tried bands that much really. But heard it’s great for joints and seems to be producing great results for people. I tried bowflex but the band systems are more portable. I might try x3 since it’s on sale but more interested in harambe from the reviews it’s better. Also an interview suggestion a gentleman named JessePawlack. He does convict conditioning. He believes in partial reps he has great energy he would be an interesting interview
Thanks man. I appreciate that comment. I actually have been seeing him come through my feed, so that's a great suggestion
So I only worked out with bands for 1,5 years and went from skinny 71 kg to 90 kg at 187cm at around 20 percent bodyfat. I would say the most change on my body was after 1 year and 1 year and 3 months. Now it's drastically slowing down. Can't get over 90 kg weight even with 4500 - 5000 kcal. It just adds up to more fat than muscle when trying so I'm cutting down a bit with 3500 kcal. For reference, my bent over row with weight is current 70 kg and my bench press is 60 kgwith around 10 reps on each movement. I don't know if I would make a drastically change in my phisuiqe when training with weights. But I build my strength on these movements only with bands. I think it builds muscle really well, but it's a different strength you are building with bands than as you would with weights. Not necessarily because of the lengthened muscle which you might target more with weights (you do that as well with bands with partials, Dropsets and so on, but still feels different). It's just a different stimulus. I don't think that strong people training only with weights are strong with bands and vica versa. The same with bodyweight movement. You only get good with a tool that you are using with. That doesn't mean that one is better than the other. Using all forms of training is beneficial.In September my transformation with only bands is done and then I'm visiting the gym to get a different stimulus and see how far I can progress there. I will probably go up in my lifts pretty fast and then get stuck pretty fast after 3 months or so, because I'm already working out 2 years then.
Thanks for sharing all of that. I know people love to hear this real life examples of what people are doing with specifics.
@@hybridresistance I hope it helps people! I was pushing it really hard and serious with bands and progressed, meaning adding more bands or heavier ones. It gives you the same great feeling, that you are able to push more "bands" as with weights. But when compared, the workouts with bands are always way harder than as with weights. With weights you don't have constant tension on your muscles which is less stress for your nervous system. But you are quicker done, because you need to do less partials with the weights because it stresses out the lenghtend muscle faster than bands does.
Did you get rid of the buzzsaw bench?
You guys are good. Yes, I actually just gave it away to a neighbor. You'll see in some upcoming videos, but I've got more benches / leg extension curl machines incoming. It's a solid great bench for sure, just too much of a tank for my set up moving and equipment in and out.
Dumbbell pullovers are an insanely good lat exercise and you cant really do them with bands. At least not in a way that gets you the stretch at the bottom.
I'm probably misundertanding what you mean, but I personally think that's where the bands shine. You can get a full start of shoulder flexion all the way to shoulder extension through a greater range of motion under constant load compared to DBs which only give you resistance for about half the movement. Still a solid exercise no doubt you, you just only get about half shoulder range of motion. There's a strength curve difference the bands though, so if I could throw a cable / functional trainer in, I'd say that would be ideal. Also a TG is excellent in this exercise as well.
Great video!
Thanks Bryan
