I tied mine up to the basketball post. The shadow of the backboard is protecting it from the majority of sunlight. However I got to this video because I've noticed that there is a mild tear in this resistance band. I've had this guy for 15 years and never had trouble with it before. since it is torn a little bit there's nothing I can do besides decresing the resistence of it (stepping forward). Just waiting for that day to happen like an old dog.
this is my fear. I have a set of bands and I can't even bring myself to fully stretching them in fear of them snapping and break my eyeballs. which makes my workout totally ineffective
When it snaps, it flies towards the handles. Happened to me and mostly just made me jump. Not sure how it would make it to your eye, maybe after bouncing off your hand but it wouldn't be so severe by that point.
I take advantage of the stackable nature of these bands. If I feel I’m not getting enough tension at the 2x mark I add on a band to increase the tension. These bands are great cause they have the built in safety features so the bad won’t snap back and hurt you.
Agree, another reason why they snap is when you stand on them for example for shoulder press and you move your feet, or if there is gravel behind them, also, anchoring them in rough surfaces DESTROYS them in no time!
Thanks, I know how to impress the ladies now. "Sure, this is the heaviest one. Oh no, it snapped!" Cheers for the video though, I was wondering what the people on amazon reviews were doing wrong when they complained the bands snapped. Now I know.
I bought both flat bands and tube bands from Undersun and LIfeline respectively. I found that the flat bands were killing my hands so got the tube ones and now do many of the things I was doing with the flat bands but I still use the flat ones too. Lifeline's handles rotate at the grip which is great but it's when you go up in resistance the heavier bands is hard to get in and out of the handle until you learn the trick. I found both excellent and the instructors very good. My gym days are over because I can do at home virtually everything I was doing there.
Hi again Blake, I thought I should mention that my Spinal Surgeon is completely in agreement with my exercising especially using the resistance bands. thanks Rosemary
And of course allow for serations too....so working out outdoors....be aware that small stones WILL serate the elastic which later under resistance at that point snap...prolong by not stretching at the serated areas or better still...try hard not to serate the elastic.
All sport carries risk. Got the gym and drop some weights. Go running and twist an ankle. My understanding was bodylastics have an inner lining that reduces risks.
Was using one while working on ladder drills. It snapped on me. It hurt so bad I can’t even explain it. Worse then a fracture, or sprain. Or even a strain. Super painful and embarrassing lol
How long do they last. I just had a blue band break doing triceps extensions. The band was about 3 years old though. I only used them a couple months during this time, as I usually go to the gym. This is one of the extra heavy ones. It hit me in the face. It really felt like getting punched in the jaw. I'm just lucky I didn't get anything but a sprained jaw. It really hurt though!
He talks about a special band with a wire filament that prevents the band from breaking. What kind of bands are these with the wire? What are they called.
I am always scared of doing exercises where I am pulling the band towards myself at the eye-length because I fear that the band may snap and hit my face or into the eyes causing serious damage. How do I overcome this fear? Do you have any tips to start working out with a resistance band in the safest way possible? Please note that I just started resistance training and my bands are new. I do not have any experience in resistance training.
I bought the 3 band pack that modells sold. I did like it but i snapped the blue and black band within a month. I thought that happened because they were cheap. This info is good so when i buy a expensive band I know they have a tendency to snap to and i can avoid snapping them.
If you are in danger of breaking a band, the band is too light for the exercise you are doing.. Simple as that. Dude, you need some safety glasses, bad. Any band can break, and any bad can muck your eyeball up. Don't learn the hard way. Otherwise, good info.
He said he has his band threaded through a large what? Ethura anchor? What term do I put in on Amazon to get one? What about a simpler, cheaper one that is just a small circle of a cloth band?
Sad life I can’t go to the gym and it seems these bands are life risking or at least will seriously injure you... I don’t know about using them in front of me but from the back I think I can wear a backpack 🎒 to protect myself will it work?
Hi Blake I have been emailing Robyn from Bodylastics, I live in Perth Western Australia so getting your monthly workout plan is too expensive after conversion bank fees etc. I have purchased the door anchor, handles, ankle straps and 13lb resistance band so I'm wanting the full body muscle building exercises. As I mention to Robyn, I'm 66 and have excellent health except for my spine. I've had fusion L4/5, now the L2/3-3/4 have of course become severely curved. I need to have back, core and leg muscles really strengthened so do you have any videos on line that I can view. I have looked at the biceps, triceps exercises so will be using those to get strong arms as well. all I can say is thank goodness I found your utube site. I have been going to the gym for 18 months and really only gained a very limited muscle tone. So hopefully I will improve out of sight with your help. thanks Rosemary
You can get 2 months free into bodylasticsworkouts.com with code LDHARV47 , after that it is only $8.95 a month to maintain being a member. We have hundreds if not thousands of workouts you can choose from.
Iban didn't break. What happened was there was that Loop that you put the band through and then you can put the other side of that loop on the other side of the hinge in your door and went in you shut the door. What happened was it somehow wasn't in there tight enough and hit me in the back.
the bands I got were just too weak to use individually so I put all 6 of them together. Im a little worried now because months of use later they are starting to look like they have a white powder on them and are dull in appearance. What does this mean?
I have a question. My band is black(flat band) and it just got dull like greyish. This happened in the few days I didn't use it at all and i thought it might be dusty but it didn't come off. I'm not a frequent user and never stretched anywhere near the full either. I always use it indoors but can it be due to the heat/humidity or something as they seem to be working fine and I can't see cracks or anything..
I want to know (and can't find anywhere) how to make my own resistance bands using tubing and d-rings or clips. Not tying them on (just with a know) but the way they'd be if I was to buy them. All the ones I see for sale are too long and I want to make my own, just as good as if I bought them. Please Help Me??
I ordered Cando tubing. Cut to desired length. Bought 12 - 13mm marbles. Placed tubes through hole in handle straps. Next stage.... Put small drop of concentrated washing up liquid onto marble and forced marble into tubing about 3/4 inch. Waited.... then used cotton bud to wipe out excess washing liquid. Lastly..... Put two tiny drops of Superglue into tube on edge of marbles. I have created four new creations of different resistance tubing into my regime. The marbles never come out. PERFECT.
Is there any way to condition(with some type of oil) my braided Reebok resistance band? It's a couple of years old but hasn't been used that often. Rather than get a new 1 rn, I'd want to restore it to a functioning condition 1st before stretching it/ using again. Btw, the rubber looks a bit like it's dried out and dull so if there's a specific type of oil like peanut, coconut, olive, sesame.. or just WD-40 I'd really appreciate the help 😀
You could probably just use coconut or Olive oil and make it look nicer but I doubt it'll make it any more effective. If the band has stretch marks on it, you'd probably just want to get a new one or risk having it snap on you. 😬
I just bought the bands today, I was trying different things, it snapped and hit me on my forehead :/ that's why I am here :-D haha I have fear of snapping even just 1 time stretching .
Bands also need to be lubricated with grease that has silicone...do not use vegetable oils or anything of that nature...just like the human skin, we get dry, what does our skin do? skin starts to peel and crack, gives you an open wound in severe dryness. So make sure you're lubricating your resistance bands as well
@@bodylastics why on earth would someone want to work out with toxic automotive chemicals all over thier bands which will now be all over you and is difficult to wash??? Have some common sense
EYE INJURIES: Great youtube. Yes my husband almost put his eye out from HEAVY tubing doing bicep curls. You would think anything that heavy wouldn't snap... at least not in the first six months you own it. A whole article in Journal of American Medicine about Covid home workout eye injuries from elastic bands. Wear goggles or glasses just to be sure you are safe.
hi there, may i ask how can i check what is the stretch power on the resistance bands? i bought a resistance band for a store and there was nothing written on the package
Color isn't a good indicator. You need to look at who makes the band and look at what colors are for their resistances. Some companies actually put a weight equivalance on their bands... Like I have a set of the Bodylastics and they have lbs written on the connector cuffs.
One question,you said that you should always use an anchor for your bands because the rubber don't like hard surfaces.But i often see that you stand on the bands when training.Will this damage your bands also?Thank you
I THOUGHT your product had the same cord security feature built in to you bands? You mentioned in the video that another product did. You didn't mention whether yours had the same. The video IS two years old so I assume there have been some improvements. Is there a way to tell? Thanks. P.s...do you have am official Amazon store for Bodylastics?
It is always about advertising even when helping people with the product you sell. Ask any advertising company. The more people are exposed to a product the more likely they are to buy.
best tip is stop buying them....i bought 2 and both snapped in less than 2 months. If i can't stretch them the way i want then they are pretty useless.

Don't expose them to sunlight, store them in the pouch. Eventually any brand will snap over time. They will not last forever.
Thanks for the tips.

Obviously they Will snap if you stretch it too long they won't snap if you do it the right way
this is my fear. I have a set of bands and I can't even bring myself to fully stretching them in fear of them snapping and break my eyeballs. which makes my workout totally ineffective
Wear a cheap set of clear safety glasses indoors or plastic lens sunglasses if outside..
When it snaps, it flies towards the handles. Happened to me and mostly just made me jump. Not sure how it would make it to your eye, maybe after bouncing off your hand but it wouldn't be so severe by that point.

Me too just recorded it today lol don't use bands sitting in storage building for 2 years in summer and half way chewed from mice or something
There's no point in wearing safety glasses the glasses Will easily break you can do it without safety glasses but Just dont stretch the band too long
@@bossmanfcktheworld-6632 The safety glasses won't break. If they would, they wouldn't be called safety glasses.

I love using your bands in my workout s
Very good product
Good explanation.

He talks about a special band with a wire filament that prevents the band from breaking. What kind of bands are these with the wire? What are they called.
I got slapped with over 2000psi with a resistance band. It tore my leg up like a good old fashion "flesh wound".
I then immediately decided boxing was the sport for me... Pshh. Manny Pacquiao only punches at around 800 psi. Lightweight babyyy!!

Buy bands enclosed in a nylon casing. Even if they snap, they won't hit you. Plenty of those on Amazon.

Is there a way to know if the band is going to break in order to replace it before it happens?
Great video
Do yellow (less resistance bands) snap or break easier than black (high resistance bands) if pulled the same
