I am a 64 year old man. I Started using bands several months ago. The results are incredible. I had high blood pressure, 160 / 80 I started exercising on a regular basis. As of yesterday my Blood Pressure is 116 / 70. I also have a lot more definition and more energy. I'm in the best shape of my life. Thanks for the video.
I had some bands from amazon already. I started following your vids about 3 weeks ago. I did power building for 4 years but fell off due to injury. I honestly feel no difference from weights to bands. I'm still just as sore and hit it just as hard. I'm giving it another month, if things keep progressing as they are, I'm getting rid of the gym membership. The bands have really opened up my mind on what fitness and training are. I'm not so 1 dimensional now. I appreciate all these videos man!
If you feel no difference you're not doing it right. Bands have constant building resistance from beginning to end. Most weights do not. Band are also a whole lot less stable, particularly at the top of the movement.
@@emmetkeane3474 depends. lack of stability means harder to isolate certain muscles but also activates more of the stabiliser muscles/smaller muscle groups. its the whole machines vs weights debate that machines dont activate stabiliser muscles and are therefore bad for performance based athletes, but it doesnt matter too much
Awesome training vids James, it's beyond me why no one else took bands seriously so far. The pumps are insane, youre literally forced to keep good form, zero risk of injuries, portable, cheap. Gyms are a thing of the past for me; a pull up bar + my bands is all I need.
Thanks James, I've watched a small handful of other videos from other vloggers, and I'm sure their intentions were good, I found yours to be the most professional, actionable and authentic. Keep up the great work.
James, you explain it so well, that it makes perfect sense. Normally we do workouts, not reallly undestanding what are we targeting and what's the logic of that specific exercise. Thank you so much.
I'm a recent convert. I was just messing about with new ones I bought and the pump and contraction was insane. Very glad I've found your videos - clear, and easy to follow. Keep em coming!
Hey James, I am just learning about RBT, and these videos are excellent. well explained, superb content (scientific, just the right amount), and well structured video. Thanks.
This stuff is super useful, I don’t know why it took quarantine for me to try resistance bands seriously. Used them plenty before, but never for the whole workout.
I've been doing bodyweight training for months and bought bands to add resistance. I'm really starting to find great value in your videos. Keep this up and you'll have a subscriber/customer for life
Love all the vids, I'm ex marine from UK and trained for 3 months with bands after watching your vidios and getting amazing improvements. Cheers James.
I'm super happy.I found your channel. I have resistant bands and I was looking for someone to show me the correct way to use them. I'm also going to purchase the Under Sun bands. They seem to be so much better than what I have now.
Like a lot of people, I've switched to bands due to the lock down. Your videos are very informative. Please create a video on the Paloff (sp?) press and planks with bands to strengthen core and stabilizers.
Should you do 4 sets of Preacher curls then move on to incline curls and so on, Or do you just do 1 set of each and repeat until all 4 sets are completed
..I DID notice that quirk with reverse curls - had to use lighter bands for it myself. Also, using a PVC or steel pipe for these would avoid the bands chafing on your hands.
We recommend wearing a pair of workout gloves while training with your strength bands. Our workout gloves are specifically designed for resistance band training: undersunfitness.com/products/resistance-bands-workout-gloves-2021?TH-cam&USJG&DYTJGgloves&Jessica
Been doing the TA2 Build program now about 12 weeks and 3 weeks into the nutritional program , really starting to get results, no more gym for me , this training is exceptional and also a lot of fun.
I haven't been able to get to the Y due to the covid situation. After circuit work and free weights, I got better results from TRX and have been considering buying a set. At 72, I'm only interested in the basic moves for general fitness and strength. I do pushups and core work to try to keep up. I had a stroke on Christmas day and was cleared by my doctor and the Y for full workouts by second week of Jan. Due to an earlier accident I don't have full range of motion in my right ankle. Can only do half squats. I walk normally though in spite of it. I'm down about 45 lbs overall. Now for my question: Can a bands workout be just as good in my case as TRX?
Hello my friend! Absolutely, resistance bands are just as effective as weights and have advantages. Undersun Strength Bands create a very unique kind of tension called VRT, or Variable Resistance Training. VRT more closely matches the natural strength curve of your muscles than weights, which means better muscular contractions and therefore more muscle-building benefits. As well as no joint pain and less risk of an injury. If you're interested in the muscle building resistance band set here is a link below.

I'm retired and 73 years old. I was big into powerlifting in my younger years up to approximately 55 years old when I discovered Soloflex. Liked it but when I retired and moved into a smaller place I needed something more compact. Been using resistance bands since 2013 but seemed to be unable to maintain or increase muscle mass. So it seems to me that bands do not increase muscle or is it I'm just to damn old and need to learn to deal with old age. I work out 3x a week one hour whole body workout and 3x doing abdominal and calisthenics
Hey Joe! Absolutely! We have people of all ages doing our program.

@@JamesGrageUndersunFitness Age is irrelevant, as long as you're healthy. Even octogenarian (and beyond) can build muscle through weight training. The godfather of fitness, was prefect example of that.
when it comes to resistance band training, is it more beneficial to do e.g. 5 x Full Body, or more of a 'bro split' chest, back, arms, legs, shoulders on separate days? or is it purely down to fitness experience?
I do belive that maybe resistance bands or ok ( for some things). But while they might help they are also dangers. As i found out about 5 min,s ago, I was doing over head press only my 3rd set out of 4 so almost got them fininshed, But anyway i was doing my presses and baaaam it broke leaving me with about a 3 inch cut on my tricep...
It took you 15 minutes to explain something that should take 3 minutes. Seriously dude you need to start cutting out some of your filler talk and get to the point a little sooner. Other than this being a bit long winded the exercises and the explanations (once you get to the point) are really very good.
you gotta realize that he is making an instructional video. most people clicking on it, probably do not have as much knowledge as you might, regarding exercising, and bands in particular. now i do have a fair amount of knowledge, but i still like the length of the video. i want to know what is going on in his head about what he is doing, and why he is doing it. it gives me the ability to compare to what i do, and learn. if all he did was spend a few minutes doing the exercise, i wouldnt know what his purpose was, and whether it had a good application for my purpose. i would have no problem with an additional video (a 3-minute edit of this one), where he simply says "long head of biceps workout", tied the band and did the workout, etc.). that would be helpful if you simply want to review the video, to determine if you are doing it correctly, etc. but only as an addition to this video, not a replacement of it.

Agreed, I need more practice

How do you incorporate band exercises with weights? Can you do them everyday or should you do them every other day?
This is excellent. Can you explain the science behind the 20-10-10-15 set repetitions? Or an article link please? Thanks. 😀🙏😀
Thank you this is awsome !!!
Do you have a video for working deltoids with bands? Yours are awesome!
Thanks Bob! th-cam.com/video/xgvcsBLE2r8/w-d-xo.html

Good stuff James! These bands are great since I just do my workouts at home or when my family and I do road trips i can take them with me! Mahalo 🤙
Hi james,,from India.. what's the weight of band you used on the video..?
Do u practic also in a gym ?

Awesome to hear Jon!
So there are 4 sets with reps of 20-10-10-15 respectively?
James, do you have any exercises for abs
Thank you
Just started with bands, used them in place of rope for kneeling cable crunches. Work even better.
Great video as usual
Awesome👏👏👏👏
Is the 20,10,10,15 reps used on all workouts? And why this method instead of say a RPE or 1 RPM variables

my problem with bands is that halve way through it gets too hard... is it ok to adjust midset or is that killing your gains?
It's totally OK to adjust mid set, no shame in the game. As long as you're using proper form, gains are in the making 💪

Hitting every muscle group 2-3 times a week seems to be ideal for building muscle.
Can you actually build big muscle only using bands?
you do great videos, where can i buy some of those gloves?
I've seen similar ones at target and or walmart
Learning these techniques is good I only learn stuff physio therapy wise not gym wise plus gyms way to expensive
I heard that bands shouldn't be in the sun for too long, as that can make bands snap easier. Is this true?
Certain Rubber should never be exposed too much in daylight 👍
does this really work?
Resistance is resistance!
@@JamesGrageUndersunFitness ty for the reply! I am convinced after looking at your videos man!!!

Damn i workout witch bands for 2 years but did not know some of this exercise.. thanks man! 😂
Awesome, bringing out my bands again I guess. :)
I do belive that maybe resistance bands or ok ( for some things).
But while they might help they are also dangers.

I was doing over head press only my 3rd set out of 4 so almost got them fininshed, But anyway i was doing my presses and baaaam it broke leaving me with about a 3 inch cut on my tricep...
Since you were in Florida you should have used one of those coconut tree as an anchor.
I was one the the guys who looked at bands and said yeah I'll never do them. But now I can't do any workout without them.
👊
I am not gay or anything, but having said that I need to add that those arms look awesome.
My arms hurt
Please tell me it will do the opposite and make my arms smaller! Female here lol.
tagal mo naman mag explain
"Build big arms" does sets of 20 reps. Enough said lul
