Comparing Loop Strength Band vs Tube Style Bands 

You have really opened my eyes to band training, I will admit I’m a firm believer after training with them for the last couple months. I actually use your bands to train my soldiers, it’s an amazing way for them to train anywhere any time. I even had my senior leadership order a set for themselves. Thank you for educating myself and many people on the power of bands. Can’t wait for your podcast to come back!

Love to see you back on grind of making RU-vid videos! Love the videos and the bands. Thank you!

I've been using bands for 4 or 5 years, but I started watching your videos about 2 years ago and have learned a LOT. Thanks.

Nice to see newer content mate. Fall is comming and soon winter. Looks like my random outdoor train gonna get tricky. Considering using my bands in the snow still. Ty for all you do and inspiring me to stay under the sun

James, THIS IS AWESOME! I really like that you put some science behind what your doing. How and why muscles respond and work. I have learned lots from you already!

James is back!! Love the content and my Undersun Bands!!

I was told to put door anchor between the door and the jam on the side where the hinges are , it may be a little more difficult to do, but it is a lot safer.

Haven't watched the video yet, but I'm really fascinated to see whether the guy from Undersun Loop Bands prefers Loop bands or Tube Bands. As a fan of unbiased opinions, I can't wait to hear!!!

Totally stoked to see you making these videos again! Will you be working on the pod cast as well? I love all the information!

Hi, James - just thought I'd drop by a year after I first came across your channel to credit you for being one of the guys who helped me break free of the mindset that no gym equals no way to train. Beyond that, I've recently taken to using steel pipes and PVC pipes with my flat bands so my current workouts feel a lot more similar to what I used to do at the gym. Keep doing what you do 🔥

I've enjoyed band training so far, but I found that I had a very difficult time doing deadlifts as my hands were giving out way before my legs. I bought a bar primarily for deadlifts - and it has made a huge difference. I use it for squats sometimes as well. I don't need it so much for upper body, but I found that the resistances I'm using for lower body exercises were just too much for my hands to manage sometimes.

I use both and I love it, I also do the door anchor by bodylastics, James your workouts are hardcore and I’m stronger. I went to the gym and was able to push 20 lbs more on all major movements so they work. Prefer my home workouts over gym. I’m also using them at the care facilities I work at.

Completely invalid. 1) you just add extra tube bands to increase the resistance. 2) Tube bands you don't have to shred your hands and carry around a pair of gloves

PTP power tubes with attached handle are a great item..

These are Fantastic bands have had them for over a year with no problems and GREAT results!

Thank you, I have the loop bands. Was thinking about getting the door stopper

Didn´t convince me at all. I´ve had both and enjoyed both. However you can step on both, you can use dooranchors with both. It´s a little - not much - easier to bring the loop-bands to the park, the tubes has more options at home in my experience. It´s easier with the tubes to - in a bicep-curling, for instance - switch from both hands to one - then the other hand. But of course you only sell loop-bands:/

Hey I'm getting 2 sets of them. Soon as a matter of fact. I can use those in the gym with bars if I like with weights. Or I don't have to and I can do other workouts with them. As a fitness instructor and influencer, I'm trying to get people training with these instead of with weights since its way more flexible, versatile, and portable to use instead of going to a gym. They're getting really expensive too with everything that happened the past 18 months. Hawaii is an old school place so, its tough to get people on board with it, but I think they'll catch on. I don't do much of any weight training anymore since I don't like the constant resistance of the weights anymore as its slow to move, pushing and pulling against gravity to create that resistance, and it stays the same regardless of where the load is. Strength training and building strength is all about leverage. Its so much faster to get the muscles in the proper position to fire and generate as much power as possible, and therefore, build strength. Athletes train for fast, speedy movements, bands allow for that.

James I can understand your points about not using a platform (05:22), and it definitely makes sense. Do you find however, that you need to always wear shoes if you want to use your feet to anchor the bands? AND potentially even worry about the pressure that the bands will put on the sides of your shoes? I mean this is why you have those reinforced gloves... but what about for your feet?

Very informative!

Been using your bands for a few years. they were pinnacle to my health when I was stuck at home teleworking for an entire year. Can you do, or point me to, a video where you can demonstrate how to inspect our bands. I understand things get worn out and would like to know when I should replace them.

Hi guys, I have two undersun sets! I bought them so I can do bilateral exercises without resorting to single leg, single arm all the time. Its working great with the two door anchors as well. Please do a series of videos where you use two bands to do biulatereal exercises. thank u, I love Undersun

As you increase the stretch of an elastic band, the increase in resistance is exponential, not linear. So the force as it is stretched is a curve not a straight line. Research Hook's law if you want to get into the weeds.

Thanks to your video I'm using your bands to be in shape 😆 I believe I'm the first one to buy it from Morocco , hopefully to see more videos where you coach or guide a skinny dude to transform his body using your bands . More success and hoping to see you in the Top

Love your bands. Any chance you’ll make a band heavier than the X-heavy band?

I love my I got into resistance bands because of you,I love my Undersun bands...best investment!

You're back, Wow great, Train occasionally with the bands since gyms reopen. Previously trained with different brands, and after all bought two sets of yours bands .Elite one and orange one. And thinking seriously to switch completly on them. One because trained with the bands all lockdowns periods, second because fully apreciated them when I been diagnosed with rheumatoidal arthrisis last december. And you know?. After back to the gym could lift almost the same weights what I been lifting before. Why?, Because the bands, After diagnosis had a struggle to exercising with the light one , but with the time it's been getting better and better. Now obviously have a some worries that bands really can replace the weights (yes they can , have a prove after each session, hahaha) but at the same time remember one of your podcast where you said ,that you had exactly the same thoughts, so please keep going

Where can I buy your bands ? I really need them ASAP! Thanks James 🙏🏾

James are you adding a bigger/6th band at any point?

Is there any way to buy your bands from Europe to avoid the taxation? I already have the orange ones but I really like the military grade ones.

Hey James🙋‍♂️ hope you’re well buddy. Where can I get some of your gloves in the Uk? Everywhere is sold out 🙃. Really diggin your videos bro, been solely band trading for 2 months now and my hands are fu€£ed. Keep killing it man, you’re truly inspiring 👊💪💪😎

Thank you 😊

I use the Undersun and love them. I just ordered some tube bands for some triceps exercises as it’s a little difficult due to bad shoulders for me using the flatlands. Cannot recommend enough though. 😊

Undersun bands are easily the best bands I've ever used. Loop style bands are so versatile, and easy to anchor. Tube style bands are really difficult if you can't use the door anchor. And you'll tear them if you overstretch them.

Hi I have been working out for past 4 years But I am not able to go to the gym due to time constraints Can I switchover completely to bands from gym?

The circular resistance bands can also be stretched for more resistance and /or adding more bands can they ot?

Good video.

Sold!

How often should I replace my undersun resistance bands

I don’t on any bands yet, and I’ve been researching. I don’t want some thing. I’m going to have to spend good money on. Just replace one year later. I’ve heard of bands coming with lifetime warranties, but not really sure what that pertains. What kind of warranty does Undersun have? I have a full gym at home and would probably only be using the bands occasional times I go out of town.

I believe closed bands have a few limitations compared to open (handled) bands in relation to bilateral anchored fly movements, standing banded overhead crunches, etc.

I currently use tube style bands with handles, but I am looking to switch to loop down the road.

You can grab the tube style bands without the handles. Tube style with handles much more comfortable to grab than loops. They both have their pros and cons but one is not better than the other.

I just some loop bands. Am I getting a lot stronger in less than a week, or are the bands very quickly becoming weaker?

Got a set of these last year before all the gyms shut down here in South Florida.

Which side of a door do I work out on?

Can you please show exercises for the calves and forearms?

Yes. This is helpful. I don't know how can i get your resistance band in my country at cheaper price. As after seeing your video i already order resistance tubes cost me ₹1400 only. Sir can you please provide your whole set at cheaper price so i can buy them as i have no job so no money but after seeing your video i get to know that your bands quality is much better than i have.💌

Been training with bands for a year and pretty good .....but they do seem to pull on my wrists and my bicep tendons causing pain ..why??

My wrists hurt when I do curls with bands only. Any solution?

Just bought myself a set of undersun fitness bands 😎😎😎

Hoop is better than tube. The tubes can snap from handle and its frustrating breaks your training routine. I snapped mine from handle today and now am concentrate on hoop bands instead handles are the weakness

My only concern is a band breaking while using it maybe me in the eye or chest seen one man not your brand say on some reviews his broke gave him big welp on his chest what makes your brand's material better than your competitors i'm strongly considering purchasing your brand

Can I use bands for forearms ?

Why can’t you just remove the handles on the tube style and grab lower on the tube to add more resistance I’m only asking because I’m thinking about resistance band training and already have the tube style

Should i train full body or do push pull legs with bands?

Hey James, quick question... Gloves? Aaaaaand...go!

Pulling on a band with no handle seems awkward.

Never forget that the rubberbands can get in the wrong time in the wrong direction...direct in your eyes....so never forget that it could be usefull to use glasses..or be carefull with the Trainings with directions in your Facearea. The Rubberbands are not Steelbands and with time it can crash...perhaps in wrong time to the wrong place.

The other HUGE disadvantage of the steel bar and platform is it costs $500 freaking dollars !!! No thanks !

I like tubes with handles for lateral raises and basic curls and that's about it.

If you sell loop bands you will recommend loop bands

A commercial

Tip Tuesdays as the name

Those handles come off as easy as they go on. Just hold the band.

Unpopular opinion. You can’t build muscle with resistance bands. Change my mind.

Wow...- I am such a stupid donkey. I just learned that I can use a door anchor also on the side of the door, not only on the upper/lower end. OMG I never got that in my mind before. How did I survive until now? 😆
