      So many bullshit band videos popping up due to current situation. Some decent but none as good as this buy that has been doing this for a long time

    • @Drone453
      @Drone453 Před 4 lety +4

      Agreed. I think calisthenics appeal to a lot of people who aren't into heavy weights (which is fine). However, it's good to see them used as an alternative to traditional shoulder moves.

    Here’s the thing. czcams.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.

    Thank you, all of your videos are very helpful including this one. In this one in particular I wish they would zoom out for a second so that I can see the whole setup. I think I get where/how the band is supposed to be anchored, but would prefer to be able to see the entire length of the band (hands and feet) while you're doing the side and front lifts, just to be sure.

    Its been 3 weeks that I have started training exclusively with these bands (gyms are closed) . Had bought them to take them on my sailboat to keep fit while on my circumnavigation. I had to relearn to train (watch videos) and build a full program but it was well worth it. I was septic at first but now Im sure I will not have any issues keeping fit, not sure I will be returning to the gym. Cant wait to train on exotic beaches.

    • @Drone453
      @Drone453 Před 4 lety +1

      They shouldn't crack from being wrapped around a metal post unless it has sharp edges. It's more likely you're stretching it too much or using bands with different resistance (e.g. you may need to use stiffer bands and stretch them out less).

    • @fusspot57
      @fusspot57 Před 4 lety +1

      I suppose if there are sharp edges you could tie a small towel round the post and then attach the band? I have to do this at home because I attach the band to a square stair bannister pillar.

      I think you can get results with bands, but you need to keep realistic expectations. And for some excersises it's better than free weights. It's also better than nothing during a pandemic. I personally bought adjustable dumbbells up to 71.5 pounds each, and a set of bands, and get great workouts at home.
