Glad you're finally getting recognition and some free gear.
Thank you brother. There's been companies that offer all sorts of free equipment, but I really only consider stuff that'd actually be interested in and think is useful.
Enjoy all your videos. At over 70yr old, bands where the way to go for me. I was looking at footplates and went with Clench. Just a note, on Clinch footplate pricing . I searched for Blemished and I got mine for around $180 with your discount tacked on. Many thanks!

I'm really stumped over the footplate thing. All ready to buy a T-bar, but can't decide on the plate. Many think Harambe has the best, but I just think those handles on the Clench would really come in handy to loop a band around for certain exercises. Most guys have all kinds of equipment or wall plates to anchor a band to, but I don't. Admittedly, I wish the board was smaller. I'm a small, wimpy girl and that thing is a beast. Can't even get the smaller board from Harambe, bc it's never in stock.
You are right on the front lines of the bandland wars lol. In some of the more hardcore online 'bandland' groups I'm in very serious people have the clench as their preferred board. They say if you you use a wider board it's preferable to use a wider bar to keep the band tension equal. I already have what is called a 'surfboard' that I got for a crazy good going out of business sale from a manufacturer. It's my 2nd board in order to vary the foot positioning to prevent overuse injuries. A huge pro is it helps you get more out of your bands but it may overstretch them some
It's interesting to discover this whole set up has a community.
I really like the Clench footplate and find it to be a great sturdy well built product. I also have the plastic footplate that came with my X3 system and like it a lot too. I’ve had it for about 4 years and have never had any sign of band damage or wear and tear from either plate. I’ve had the Clench plate for less than a year.
Any preference or one you tend to gravitate towards the most?
Another great review. I'm with you on the smaller X3 board. Seems like the X3 system was designed brilliantly, honestly. With a 20 inch bar and small plate. It keeps everything tight and in a stronger range of motion.
I think you will also have the same cons with the harambe system too. I still think the X3 is heads and shoulders above the rest. Now, im bias, no doubt. But this review of your actually closed the door to me purchasing a wider board. I was eyeing the harambe board.
Finally, Dr. Jaquish is not a fan of the wide bar as well. Although, they do sell them on X3 website. But he doesnt recommend them. Im guessing for the same reason why he doesnt recommend a wide board.
I agree Bryan. I am interested to see how the harambe system fairs or how the board feels.
Hey Mike what do you think about trying a Noco Arm Trainer for the Total Gym Fit, do you think it could be a good addition?
That thing does look promising on a TG. I haven't heard of it until you mentioned it. Maybe I'll reach out to them or pick one up myself to review it.
The Nexus bar by clench fitness that's the one I would love for you too review!!!!!
That's coming for sure.
I use a Bodylastics band protector. About $16. You stand on it. Won’t mess up your bands like these expensive board products will likely do.
Mike is your J Bryant bar the fabric that runs in between the bar to each end getting cut up by the hooks from use ? I’ve seen pictures of that happening on some reviews on Amazon.
My nephew has it now and so far it's still working fine.
Hey will you review the clench resistance band and weight bar I really value your opinion on the resistance product s !!!!!
Will do!
Feel sorry for those who don’t have the skills to build their own boards. These companies are way overpriced.
a couple hundred bucks isn't much lol
Namaskar, I've recently subscribed to your channel and I must say your videos are awesome. I have one query and was hoping you could help. I have the X3 system. It's great except for the platform, which I feel is a bit small for me and it does cut the bands. So, could I use the Clench footplate / platform with the X3 bar & bands? Your advise would be invaluable. Thank you. God bless you. Regards
Yes, you certainly can use the board with the x3. Thank you for the kind words and God bless to you as well.
Could you do a video of band goblet squats with the Clench footplate someday?
I can look into that. I have tried tried it, but there are better leg exercises (IMO) with bands that I'd prefer that those.
@@hybridresistanceif you could someday do a video on those leg exercises that would be wonderful thank you for all the great things that you do.
How does this compare to the yes4all board that you made a video about in the past ?
This blows the yes4all set up of of the water.
@hybrid resistance how are those clench fitness handles? Would it pair well with the Harambe T system? Looking to incorporate the handles for over the head chess press, biceps maybe triceps and buttery fly.
Personally not a big fan of their handles. I did do a review of the harambe handles here ua-cam.com/video/2x4F6TUP4kg/v-deo.html
@@hybridresistance could they work for chest fly on a bench and over the shoulder press using the Harambe footboard?
It’s great for isometrics.
Definitely. I actually made a whole video showcasing the Vulken straps alongside this foot plate.
Do you think variable resistance is superior to lifting weights?
I think the best one is what you're going to use the most and enjoy. But if someone told me I could only lift bands or free weights for the rest of my life, I'd have to choose weights. But I'd throw the Total Gym into the "traditional weight" category based on the tension / stress it gives off.
Just use an aerobic step. Works as good as
I have shown that in past videos. For sure a good option, I just didn't like how it can trap the bigger bands.
There's an angry guy hating on you in the video "Total Gym Xtreme HONEST REVIEW" by the Last Honest Influencer. Think he's jealous of you. But he keeps bringing you up in a negative light. I think that's a sign your channel is booming. Only the big channels get actual haters.
I saw that video a while back, I personally didn't take any offense or thought he was taking a shot at me. He actually had me laughing at that review. I know awhile back someone told me in the comments that he changed his mind on the product.
@@hybridresistance The new video is from 2 days ago. I think he's looking to get views or something. I have no idea why he would do two reviews of the same product with the same critiques.
@@mariopellegrino7661 You're right, thank you for letting me know. I honestly shocked at this man's claims.
@@mariopellegrino7661 How could anybody take shots at this mild-mannered guy? I'm not even going to look for it. Someone like that does not deserve any more views.
He apologized and edited his video. He realized he went overboard I guess.@@Indydi
It good
👍
The bands are average from Clench....and the handles were VERY limited in practicality. The handles do not rotate and the limitation to the width of the bands that can be used is limited too. The foot plate looks good but still a bit pricey.
I only tried their small ones, they do give off a certain more flexible tension that feels different than other bands I've tried.
@@hybridresistance and what I mean by the lack of rotation in their dumbbell handles is that the grips are not rounded and are not comfortable in the hand. Due to the way the force is pulling away at you when lifting it would have been cool to have the grips freely spin to mitigate pressure on the tendons on the wrists. Its hard to explain but you can feel the issue when curling really heavy with bands. If they made the grips rounded like a regular bar...I could have at least put a piece of cut pvc around it to allow for proper wrist flexion. Having a squared off bar grip just seemed like a poor choice....in my opinion of course.
@@ToddDolce Have you tried Brawn Band Snare handles?
cena z kosmosu
$300 for a poly footplate, lol, seriously?
Who pays that for plastic lol
Exactly….highway robbery
The Step, which makes those Aerobics Exercise step platforms, is a fraction of the price and made of the same material. It's actually thicker and just as smooth. They have a variety of products I think would work well.
You can get them for a little over $200. When Floyd Reed was making footplates, he said it got to where it cost him more to make them than he was selling them for.
