Can someone please tell me how long these bands last? Assuming you use them 5 days a week for various body parts. I don’t want to cancel my gym membership if I need to buy a set of bands every month
One little mistake: the linear variable resistance makes the tension variable, so it's not constant tension. The resistance of the bands isn't a benefit over weights, but it's not a detriment. It's an alternative way to distribute the force it takes for the move. It shouldn't be weights vs bands, but weights + bands. Weights will often require the most muscle recruitment at the bottom of the exercise (like curls in this video) and bands will often require the most muscle recruitment at the top of the exercise. You should train with both, both at the same time if you have the space / equipment for it. It's better for hitting your muscles.
The biggest question is how long do they last? I know for sure that iron lasts forever so dumbbells are always gonna last.
I really like resistance bands and been working out with them for the last months, but there is something I believe is a disadvantage that you didn't mention: when the resistance band is less tensioned, which happens at the start of the movement, you don't have much tension. Only at the peak you will get the full benefit of it. With the weights, you get the same resistance through the whole movement, from start to end. For example, if you're squatting using a band to make it harder, when you're at the lowest point, there won't be much additional load, or none at all. You'll begin to feel the tension as you go up and stretch the band. On the other hand, squatting with free weights will generate the same amount of resistance, from the lowest part of the movement to the highest, all along.
I don't know much about this, I'm just an amateur, but I think it's better in terms of gaining strength and growing muscle if you have the same amount of tension through the whole range of motion (the higher the tension the better, without messing up the form, of course). I mean, it sounds more interesting to me if your body is submitted to the highest pressure it can take, through the whole exercise (bottom up / side to side, etc.), in a constant way.
I could be wrong, though. Anyone have thoughts on this?
doesn't ship to Canada, strange
So basically weights for vegans
what I did start using is a strong stick that serves as a bar. Much easier for instance to do curls, overhead push ups or dead lifts. If I don't use that stick it's very hard on my hands which means I have to either take a lighter band or use some more length to decrease the tension.
10:48 I have to say that there is a reason that bodybuilders DON'T use bands to their workout sessions. Only before they step on stage to get muscles pumped
Lmfao, this may be an unpopular opinion, but they're NOT the same! Free weights win ANY DAY… Worked out for 2 months in quarantine with bands, bought concrete dumbbells, LOL NOT the same! Support your local concrete dumbbells maker!
Great video but I prefer to stick with the weights only because the weights are more beneficial for me.
Very interesting
Corona virus forced me to sell my power rack, free weights, and power block dumbbells. I also had a membership at a 100 per month gym for a year. When my gym closed in march, I was afraid of losing my "gains"(my home equipment was in storage). I broke out my old bodlyastics resistance bands and purchased some loop bands (blue down to red) and some chrome loop handles.
Let me tell you I have gotten better results with these bands than I did going to the gym. Do I miss the gym? Yes. For the pool, steam room, sauna and basketball court. In the weight room I limited myself to squats, pullups, incline presses, shrugs, calf work mostly. I enjoyed the specialized machines like the real delt/fly machine. I can't speak to the science or resistance curves etc. All I know is my muscles have grown better with bands than I would have ever thought possible. In fact, I would have laughed at you. Prior to this, my bodylastics were for travel and vacations mostly.
Biggest upside to free weights is they force your muscles to stabilize/balance weights being lifted
Thank you very much, I came here knowing almost nothing about res. bands, and you enlightened me, and gave me the curiosity to look into them more, in such a short amount of time!
Excellent video. Can’t love it enough! Thank you!
Been using resistance bands during COVID at home and my core has never looked or felt as strong. Lost 12 pounds so far looking forward to every work out.
imagine if u are standing and pulling the resistance band towards you and it suddenly breaks…gonna hit u right in the face, ouch…
but the problem might be that it’s difficult to find an object In our house to anchor the bands to for different exercises……for biceps and shoulders it would be easy to just use our feet, but for other exercises I’m not so sure I can find a reliable anchor object
Great explanation I've been discovering how valuable bands can be during this pandemic. I use the kind with handles and tube shaped band. Which ones would you recommend for a fairly advanced lifter?
