Where can I buy the type of loop bands u reccomend? I'm thinking of ordering. But thinking which ones recommended?
At around 16:13 you say you have only used bands for last 2 years. I don't believe you. Fiction James, pure fiction. You have an amazing gym.
I came here for a number of reasons. My wife passed away last summer and I need to get back into shape. I really don’t want to go to the gym for the sake of saving time and I’ll be moving into a smaller place so resistance bands are exactly what I need. Thanks for demonstrating the different uses of the bands. I too was caught up in the numbers game of lifting and working out. I’m not going to do that anymore. Thanks again.
Slaterguy my heart is with you brother, keep pushing through! Bands are a real saviour, forget the gym!
Wish you all the best my friend
condolences man, keep working out!
I'm sorry for your loss❤ praying for you
GOD is with you. You keep going brother. Much love and sorry for your loss.
Excellent! I am 60 and I have been using bands for the past 3 years. I have put on nearly 40 lbs of mostly muscle and I work at it every day. I haven't been in a gym for at least ten years, yet, I look better now than I ever did from working out in a gym. I AM my workout. I don't need a gym.
Resistance bands really work then I ordered a big set of them I used to be so active but fell into a deep depression and gained so much it's so embarrassing hoping with these and some dieting and cardio I can get back into shape
@@madhatterentmt6146 Good luck man, I'm also working on becoming better every day but it isn't easy.
One thing I appreciate about James Grage - despite his fabulous build etc. - as a coach (videos) he never talks down to his listeners - despite his obvious accomplishments he comes off as just being one of the guys.
James, this is the clearest training on bands I have seen to date. You packed a lot of fitness education into 22 minutes. Thank you.
👊
sure did
Just opened my pack of bands and sitting here wondering what exactly to do with them, now I know. Really helpful video. Thanks.
Same bro

Literally got to this video because of the same reason. James is a great instructor. I'm tempted to try out the TA2 package.
Same
Same here...😊😎
Great explanation. I've watched quite a few people trying to explain the advantages and use of resistance bands and most I've turned off (even shorter videos) before the end. This is one where 20 minutes flew by. No ads, no quirky intros, no chatty repartee, just 100% information clearly and succinctly delivered.
We're the real deal 👊
This channel is my savior during the coronavirus pandemic
same
Agreed
haha, i just posted this a couple of days ago: instagram.com/p/B91nab_BKvE/?
@@cizixap129 hahah im ordering my bands there right now just watching video to warm up :)
Same bro
I watch a lot of training videos (including yoga and kettlebells) and I found this video incredibly informative and inmediately useful. Best introduction to resistance bands i've come across so far.
I’ve been working with fitness and food supps since 2011, and I have never, never seen someone showing such a passion and love for what is doing like you do.
I am really impressed by the way you believe in what you do and by the enthusiasm you put in doing it.
If I would lived in the US it would be really fantastic to work with/for you.
Thanks for these videos and for inspiring us all ❤
This was excellent! I thought at first (after seeing how long it was) I'd just check out a few minutes, but I stayed for the whole thing! The way you broke it down and the advantages to the bands, you had me hooked. Thanks brother.... I can't believe I'm looking forward to 'getting back in the gym' at home 😆
I had the same experience, subscribed about 10 minutes in!
I had been interested in resistance band for a while now. I even own a resistance tube but never really used it because I didn't know how to use them efficiently. I came across your videos and realized how versatile resistance bands really are! I just did a bicep workout with my resistance tubes and man, the pump is real! It really feels different than free weights. Super nice way to switch up and shock my muscles with these things!
I'm 47, just started using bands, because my gym closed. I found James Grage while searching for band exercises. James, you are awesome. Excellent content, great delivery, inspiring for working out, and very professional. Love this channel. Keep it up. Thanks.
One thing one has to realize when coming from weights to bands from a powerlifter's perspective is that you need to get out of your ego and head and work on the contractions. Personally, once I got over the amount of weight I was lifting and focused on the contraction and lowering the resistance on the bands I got a much better muscle activation and better pumps. Great job James... 👍
Well said my friend!
Ya it's not about lifting the weight it's what it's doing for you
You are correct... its all in your head... there are bands available that can work your muscles as much as the heaviest weight out there if you want... the workouts with bands are incredible... and i have used weights for body building and power lifting for over 45 years...
Ron Consumer true gospel of fitness
Words of wisdom my friend. Bands are an amazing versatile tool to help further enhance neuromuscular connections. 👍
You are a great teacher James! Loved the clarity, common sense, and restatement of your info! Awesome!
Fantastic video. Thank you. I'm trying to recover upper body strength after bilateral shoulder reconstructions and resistance band training seems to be the safest way to go. Thank you for going through things slowly and explaining pros and cons and options. Really appreciated. Thanks so much mate.
I recently purchased the Undersun Fitness bands, and have been watching your videos. Honestly I'm not missing the gym that much. I incorporate them with kettlebells
This covered absolutely every question I had, amazing video, thank you!
Resistance bands - the most underrated and underused way to build muscle.
You can really get ripped with bands ! Learn from this guy
I'm glad they invented them. I use to do finger excersise with rubber band strethcing them with my strong fingers, now they made bands for the body excellent.
@Jova Bova just as a stress release
I've seen a lot of UA-cam work out videos..
This guy is really inspiring.
Love your no BS explanation of Resistance Training!
You made me discover résistance band training. thanks a lot !
This video was awesome. Thanks James. Really my open eyes to how I've been wasting my time in the gym when I can get these bands, train anywhere and workout more often. Being stuck at home has led to some surprising silver linings 😂
I've been in sales for a few years and this guy has some amazing techniques to peak interest. If I didn't already have bands of my own, he would easily receive an order from me. Very Well Said!

FINALLY! An informative video without all of the theatrics of the typical UA-cam poser, throwing up gang signs, failed attempts at trying to do standup comedy, and all of the flat-billed, ball cap wearing, "Yo, yo, yo" BS!!! Just heavily condensed, straight forward information from someone who apparently knows what they're talking about. I recently purchased a host of bands for my home gym and travel, and this video gave me all of the ways in which I can do a full body workout. Nice job Mr. Grage, and THANK YOU!!!!!
Thank you for making this so accessible & easy to understand! You answered questions I didn't even know I had yet. Can't wait to order some bands and get started!
Not one thing which looks difficult is that with weights we will be lifted exact amount everytime but with this band there are no marks so will identify the point where we hold in previous set of exercise.
If you have to use the anchor on an inward open door.
Put the anchor on the side of the hinges.
Much more stable and even if the door opens most anchors wouldn’t fit through the gap.
If not enough gap on the hinge side, you can mess up your door or the anchor. FYI (I don't personally know that but one of my friends does this and pointed me to this wonderful site)
Pro tip right here.
@@leepinnguin9682 what?
@𝐂𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐱 @𝐋𝐞𝐞 𝐏𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭❓ My buddy has the door gap about as tight as it can be and if he puts that hook/anchor his door won't latch (the side that opens) so then he thought "I'll try to hold it on the hinged side of the door" and it messed the hinge up and the hook/anchor. So this was a word of warning.
This is a great idea I am very limited on space and have old doors that don't latch properly, thanks for the suggestion
James! I just bought the Undersun Build Bundle, and I could not be happier. I wanted to take a moment and give a shout out to you, your wife, and the crew. I'm in my late (late) 40s and am a life-long martial artist. I did my first workout with the bands today (thanks for all the content here too, man!), and the manner in which the moves access the muscle groups/bodyweight is brilliant. Looking to build those fast twitch muscles, and I can truly see how this will enrich my training and how it will be a set of "weights" I can work with as I move into my 50s, 60s, and beyond. So much better and more adaptable (to me) than TRX for what my needs are. Side note, I dig your philosophy, and we are, it appears of similar mind in approaching things. Be well and thanks again, Peace.
Man! This is the best detailed band video I’ve come across in the whole of UA-cam!❤️
Yep, just bought a set of bands and the workout plan. This man sells without selling.
Ive been doing resistance bands for 2 weeks along with planks and burpees. What i like is that you can target different areas accurately depending on the your form and you dont need 100 different types of equipment.
Not one thing which looks difficult is that with weights we will be lifted exact amount everytime but with this band there are no marks so will identify the point where we hold in previous set of exercise.
Let's take a moment and appreciate his biceps.
I mean no disrespect, but I was thinking the exact same thing. (Difficult focusing on his instructions.) Great video though.
Miguel Torrea
@@miguelt791 His biceps look like fine art to me!
I think, its deltoids are the ones you should be seen. When he used the bands I saw its veins... That was kind of weird xD
focus on your own biceps then you wont have to focus on his
Man, I got a fantastic workout today with Undersun bands and the TA2 Build program. Worked arms today. Great pump. And my chest is still burning from yesterday’s workout. Much better than weights-and my joints feel fine too.
I am an old one - Female/ 71 -and realizing that I MUST exercise to get my strength and muscle tone back. I've been roaming around all the videos out there and your's is the best explanation I have seen in support of the bands. Now where do I go for an actual exercise routine for a senior who is active but out of shape. Golf season is coming and I have lost my fire power.
Look up Joan Mcdonald. She's 73 years old and trained herself back to shape.
Her instagram is instagram.com/trainwithjoan
Her website is: trainwithjoanofficial.com
Her workouts are specifically for women, by an elder woman.
A lot of great resistance videos around. Any of these exercises shown in this video will help you golf game. Resistance bands are a great way to create constant tension through your entire range of motion. You will definitely notice strength and stability improvements when you consistently doing your band exercises. 😀
Love it! Stay healthy, stay fit.
Outstanding overview of how to get started with resistance bands as well as , the difference between band types. Ton of info shared in this short video...Thanks a bunch!
Tank you. I just bought a set, and even though i used free weights for 25 years, the bands feel less painfull in my joints. I appreciate it, i subscribed, so please keep them coming.
One of the most informative videos I've seen. I'm sold! Thanks for not just trying to sell us on a product, but sharing knowledge and helping us grow skill and proficiency!
His whole reason was to sell his bands and gloves and entire program..though his information was informative...his way of low key discrediting the tube bands by constantly saying 'these things'...and 'his gloves that he designed'...all low key marketing ploys.. #readbetweenthelines
I got some resistant bands and looked up exercises,and here i am!. I love how you take the time to explain the different ways to use them,helps me greatly!
Hi James, I like your mindset about the resistance band training a lot. Thank you for these valuable insights and all the great training videos you are creating - they do help a lot.
I'm sold...I am retired at 61 yrs young living full time traveling in my rv. Recently I'm working out like 5 hours a day. I have 2 round bands I've been working with, along with dumbells and barbell, not much weight. But being able to do infinite different weight training exercises with a small bag of these flat bands is "Life Changing"....I've been trying my best to encourages others to get away from their sedentary life and start exercising. Which I've found is easy and with huge benefits from the very get go. These Bands are awesome...plus the instructor is perfectly explaining, very detailed to show how you don't need all this equipment. Less is More....thank you very much...
THANK YOU FOR THIS! I've been using mini loop bands for leg exercises for a couple of years but I could never find an explanation of the other types. I also had thought that 5 bands would.be equal to 5 weights so thank you for the clarification 😂
Just got my bands today and had an awesome workout. I felt a better pump than with weights and it's much more convenient to use them than going to the gym.
same, the pump and fatigue is completely different right?
I've used bands a lot, but learned a few things from this. Great explanations! Thank you
Longer video, but so very well done. Thanks James. Just acquired resistance bands and am really looking forward to experiencing their benefits.
My gym closed, so I built a home setup, all bands and I love how fast you can switch the angle to keep muscles engaged. And I can tell a big difference from just using the machines, like every set is a bit different and i'm changing it up, and seeing gains!!!
Robert Meyer just got some bands the other day and thus video has been a godsend. I've lost 6lbs since this thing started just from skipping the gym for 2 weeks.
You know how to do Leg exercise with bands. Has hee also explained in his videos?
Great video intelligently presented.
Brilliant help to someone who has never used bands before and used to weights. Thanks so much for this video.
Thanks a lot James, I bought a medium band just for stretching my back and arms, but clearly resistance exercises could be perform anytime, anywhere.
I spent the first ten minutes of the video pondering if the brick was wall paper or actual brick. I figured out it is wall paper, anyway great teaching style. I'm another pandemic subscriber, thanks for having a great teaching style!
This looks good, the tube/handles ones I just bought are great too and work just as good. Honestly, they are both relatively cheap, buy both!
This is probably the most convincing video about bands ever! Thank you so much❤
I'm sure many have to turned to home workouts since the outbreak. For me it's not so much out of fear for being in public but out of the inconveniences gyms are forced to enforce such as limited capacity and hours of operation. Some home gym systems are just not in my price range so this is definitely right up my alley. I appreciate you sir and I look forward to watching your videos. I have a lot to learn about resistance training.
Good stuff !
Thank you for this fabulous explanation of resistance bands. I am an extremely unfit, 51 year old menopausal woman, who isn't comfortable in gyms (although I have joined one), and prefer privacy and working out at home. My brother reccomended these bands and so I have ordered a full set. I was looking around You Tube and found this. Really helpful information, not intimidating at all and makes you understand the benefits of these bands, how to use them and how to adapt them to your own level of fitness and strength. Thank you.
Hi Irene. Me too! And I'm six years ahead of you... Have to admit to some help with HRT though. Good luck. xxx
Do you use a gym now?
W0w i just realized i watch it until finished and enjoyed it. Thanks for the knowledge 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks James. You're a great speaker. Just placed my order. I'm excited to get started!
Having arthritis in my hands, the handles are a must. The pressure on the sides of the knuckles can be very painful.
I just wanted to say I love you products the best in the business. I am a Marine have been in for 23 years 7 deployments. I have been using bands for a year now it was tough making the switch from powerlifting to bands but with travel and deployments bands have been my savior. Just a quick question is there a problem when you split up your workout half in the morning half at night. I sometimes do that because of scheduling. Again I am recommending your bands to everyone keep up the good work
I’m really looking forward to starting this!!! I’ve naturally struggled with core strength and I would imaging using resistance bands forces greater core activation to maintain correct posture
Got into bands a year ago, it's all I do + Dips and pull ups all at home, love it and love the pump!
I love working with bands and bodyweight too!! so effective!
Outstanding video! My handles aren't that heavy. One only needs two handles, as the tubes are interchangeable or can be used as a combination.
Just a thought - I used the tubes until one broke and snapped in my face. Hoping the same won't happen with the bands.
@@faster98 it will. I've had 2 bands break and cut my arm. Nothing major but scary and sore.
AWESOME VIDEO. I cancelled my gym memberships, and got rubber bands, gravity bands and I do calisthenics. Wow what an awesome change of pace, finally im seeing a six pack forming and overall better level of stamina and muscle development. Who wants to cancel their gym membership and make even more progress on these awesome options??
Thanks for these video's . I just bought both types of bands and didn't quite know how to utilize them... more videos please!
Hey James, you are a very clear teacher who helps us beginners with a step by step that we need. I appreciate your channel. You have a new subscriber!
If you're going to anchor on the opening side of the door, it's better to slip it through the hinge side rather than the latch side.
Exactly lol
The best for beginners on resistance bands in You Tube, very clear explanation. TQ
Thank you my friend ! Appreciate the support
Awesome James, You've given the answers I stopped by for. Thanks!
you are a savior :( bands are the only thing that's keeping my muscle gain
Corona virus brought me here! I got my set of bands today and I must say, I've never felt so much peak contractions until I started using these suckers... amazing
I'm seriously considering cancelling my gym membership even after the pandemic. Wonderful channel, thanks a lot!
You gonna miss the mirrors in the gym....🤧🤧
8:40.. the "drop set" intensity tip was useful.
Excellent video. Started using bands 10 years ago and learned a number of things from this vid. Great job James!
This video was so helpful as I just started my resistance band training. Thank you so much 🙌
Just ordered my Muscle Building Bundle. Thanks, James, for the generous military discount! Can't wait to cancel the Gym membership and start working out with the bands.
Richard Dwyer did the 2 day delivery happen?
I lose the handle and just wrap the tube around my hand when I need more tension variety when using a tube band. I have only used the flat style with a few leg exercises at the gym. I also have a bar that I can attach to both ends of the tube style with carabiners and this lets me do squats while putting the weight on my shoulders more easily. I like the portability of the flat band style. Ill have to give those a try, thanks.
Not one thing which looks difficult is that with weights we will be lifted exact amount everytime but with this band there are no marks so will identify the point where we hold in previous set of exercise.
Great video. Just got a set of resistance bands and this had all the info presented clearly, had all I needed to get started. Thanks.
This video probably covers all u need to know about resistance bands, thank you
Great informative info. Fantastic to see someone who thinks out of the "weight "box. Bands have allowed me to keep training pain free without.joint issues at 58. Keep em coming, James.
Great to hear, that is definitely a benefit of working out with resistance bands!
5:16 "if you can get to the moon". Yep, been there done that.
It’s a blessing to bump into this! Great, useful video!
Glad I found your channel, I just started with resistance bands(tube style) and was wondering about the other type. Lotsa great info!
I’m going to bet any money this guy has sold cars at one point in his life. Yeah. I bought the goddamn bands.
but did you get the gloves???
najir might have to lol the “undercoating” and “extended warranty” of Undersun fitness bands
Damn he's good😂 .. I'm sold too
Agreed, he's an effective salesman. I bought them, too-- the whole bundle.
I was going to but it says they are sold out. Oh well. I'll just keep using weights.
Bet my man's business is BOOMING right now!
Excellent! I just bought both the bands and gloves . Why because I'm a personal trainer and I'm traveling to clients everyday to train them. This is a very portable and effective product.. Also James is very through with explaining how to use these bands. I got the gloves too. I will keep everyone posted 💪🏻💪🏻
Thank you so much for explaining in what ways they could be used. I really needed this. Subscribed.
Amazing tips James, this is what I’ve been looking for. Btw what brand and model are your shoes? I really like them 😃
Those would Converse All-Stars. exactly which ones...cant be sure. but 100% Converse
I've always done resistance bands. Cheaper than a gym and way cheaper than a home gym. I have tubes though, but funny enough if I want more resistance I just grab the tubes themselves to shorten them.
I have the 2 smallest sizes of d bands, the tube & TRX, w/c I bought in 2019. Started using this wk due to the corona virus lockdown. Also learned jumping rope. I've been searching for diff exercises on YT, done basic yoga, as well as 1 mile walk at home.
That's what I was thinking. Why not just grab lower on the tube style bands?
I'm convinced, thanks and subbed!!
I was looking to buy resistance bands to workout from home or on trips and reviewed a few different videos. Yours was perfect and explaining about the different bands. My physical therapy doc suggested the bands to me. Just bought your band package and looking forward to putting them to good use. Thanks for your video James.
Please do more videos showing exercises for the legs, especially hams and glutes. Thank you!
James 90 day video that he sells with his band is quite good and explains the routines very well. I'm on month 1 week 2, start week 3 this monday. But he makes it easy to follow .
Scott McClellan Cool, thank you.
COVID-19 brought me here. Great video :)
hahaha, same here
I took out my old set of tube bands three days ago, have been using an app to give me a randomized full-body workout. Working out on a staircase landing using the rail for anchoring. With this video's recommendation I might also be getting some loop bands soon :)
@@JH-pe3ro cool. what app are you using?
Me too!
@@JH-pe3ro What app?
I use to watch his videos before. Infact this very video was the second one I watched. I even bought my own set of resistance bands. But I still had my weights and I was more of a weight lifter. I had my resistance bands just there Packed up. I recently sold my weights and switched to a chalisthenics and resistance bands journey. And I knew I needed to watch this guy's videos again. I'm seeing a lot of athleanXs resistance band exercises too. Both are great!! I'm excited to start my new journey. Wich is today!
Dude this is awesome! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the public!
Well explained. Thanks!
Hey James, c' mon your clear no BS explaination on loop band type exercise system is dope bro. I subscribed. I'm getting these as soon as I can afford them. I travel out of town M - F. This is perfect for me. Thanks.
Hey brother! Thats awesome! They are great, especially since you have to travel so often. You can catch a workout anywhere. Here is a code for you to use for a discount: YT10

Happy Thanksgiving to your family from mine.
@@earlc5990 Happy Thanksgiving !
I’ve only trained with bars and dumbbells and I just recently bought a set of resistance tubes, your video has been super helpful in my stuck at home training shenanigans. Thanks for the video!
I've been using bands a lot for when gyms were in shut down. Now that they're open; I try to use them still and implement it in. Are gym still open in your area?
Wow - this was just the video I was looking for 👍
Having trawled through numerous waffly UA-cam videos elsewhere, this one absolutely nailed it.
Informative, clear and to the point - with zero waffle.
I look forward to hearing more about your TA2 program...
The principle is the same :
With resistance tubes, you can also grab the tube further down and create more resistance, the same as with loop-style bands.
+ You even can remove the handles for this.
+ Tubes have all the handy tools like handles, door-anchor, ankle-attachments, ...
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.
Do you sell your own brand of resistance bands
This is by far the best presentation for people not familiar with bands I have watched. I will be watching this again when my bands get here
Excellent training James..clear and concise.Outstanding !!Thank you so much !!
