Made my own footplate out of a 1 inch thick cutting board and some rubber feet I bought at Home Depot.

@redfoxylady008 7 месяцев назад

Oh perfect thank you for this!!

$11 2x12 at homendepot, some screws and a circular saw.. helps to have a sander or use some sandpaper by hand. Made my own foot plate and it's amazing.

@ShawnFumo 2 месяца назад

Just be careful! I have no idea what the actual strength of a cutting board of that thickness is. It could be fine for a while but suddenly snap when you get to higher forces at the top of a deadlift as you progress. I’m not crazy strong or tall (5’8”) and the paraforce black and white band stacked are already over 300lbs of force at the top of a deadlift (according to the X3 Force reading in the app). You can handle way more force in the strong position with bands than lbs you could pick up off the ground with normal weights, so don’t want to be too casual with it. Not saying you need the X3 or Harambe plate, but I’d want to get sign-off from an actual engineer on what they think is safe.

@jamesdesantis9420 8 месяцев назад

I already had the bands, so I made one with a 1 inch thick wooden dowel, good quality eye screws and carabiners - works fine. Total cost - less than $20.

@paulmcbride8164 7 месяцев назад

exactly but you have a brain,most people dont

@ShawnFumo 2 месяца назад

Just be a little careful. Might be worth some research on how much tension a dowel of that diameter and wood type can handle. Obviously it is fine up to a point, but is it ok with 400lbs on it at the top of a deadlift or front squat? 500lbs? I’m getting into this in my 40s and already over 300lbs at the top of a deadlift, including holding that tension for a long time with calf raises (with straps lol). It is a lot easier to get up to higher forces with bands than regular weights because of the force curve. You don’t have to be silly like me and buy the X3 Force (which I don’t regret but definitely isn’t necessary), but at the same time I wouldn’t want to go in the other direction and save a few hundred dollars but get seriously injured if the dowel randomly snapped at some point.

@Besokool 9 месяцев назад

One other advantage to that Prebene is the 3rd connecting piece. I hate shoulder presses with the shorter bars. This one allows you to extend, so the feeling is closer to a barbell length shoulder press. I'm 60, and don't use really heavy bands, so I actually think I could get several years out of this bar. Undersun bands fit perfectly in those hooks as well. Thanks much for everything Mike. We really appreciate you!

Interesting way to configure the bands for the triceps press there at the beginning of your video. I'm going to give that a try. I currently do the triceps press with the skull crusher movement. I've had the X3 Bar for over 5 years and absolutely love it. Using it and eating carnivore, at 70-years-old, I'm in the best shape and health of my later adult life. I don't know why anyone who wants to work out at home wouldn't love its simplicity and effectiveness. I did end up purchasing a 41" orange band and a 41" purple band from Serious Steel because I couldn't make the jump from the light gray X3 band to the dark gray one at first. I combined those with the light gray band and that worked perfectly for me. I also read where bands were fraying from the footplate, so I purchased a band barrier from Serious Steel, opened it up flat, and attached it to the bottom of the footplate. After over 5 years, my bands are still in perfect shape. Thanks for the video.

@CalebCold 9 месяцев назад

Just worked out pulling muscles with this knock off bar and alternated sets with the official x3 bar. It was an amazing workout because deadlifts felt better and more natural with the wider grip. I was able to hit both parts of the biceps with curls. Also shrugs and calf raises felt good as well. Upright rows not so good. It was alot of fun alternating between wide and narrow grip between the two bars. My body felt honestly like it got a better workout. Gonna do this tomorrow with push and see how it goes as well. Any X3 user should just buy it for the fact that its hundreds of dollars cheaper than the X3 long bar they sell! Also almost forgot wide grip bent over rows felt absolutely amazing with this bar as well. I alternated them with reverse grip bent over rows with the X3 bar and got a savage pump!

@hybridresistance 9 месяцев назад

You will never be able to go heavy enough of squats / dead’s without the x3 bar and footplate. The bands that have enough tension will snap your feet. X3 was the original and best. I wish they paid me to say that but they don’t.

@markturner4639 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for such extensive reviews of all of the equipment price points. I recently bought one of the Rubberbanditz mobile gym setups for travel. First impressions are that I do enjoy the primitive band workout. The big advantage IMO of the X3 footplate and bar are that they give fixed attachment widths for repeatable tension, which I cannot do. I’ll be traveling for almost a month soon, and that will be my first really extended test of the setup, it’s one thing to experiment while you have other options, it’s another to go all in for a month.

@hybridresistance 9 месяцев назад

They originally sold just the bar for $25 but now they just bundle it with some bands for $39. Probably because the bands are cheap they are charging more. But maybe they will re-list with just the bar. Thanks for watching.

Hi Mike, I spoke with you a while ago about the X3 and Harambe systems in trying to decide which to go for. I'm going to go with Harambe, but I've taken your advice and just ordered the Prebene shorter bar and bands to see if I like resistance band training before making an investment in the Harambe product. I'll use your exercise guide linked above. Hopefully I'll enjoy and take to it quickly being fairly inexperienced despite having had a gym membership for a year. If you have any other tips, please let me know. Thanks

@hybridresistance Месяц назад

Thanks Jack. One thing probably since we last spoke (since I recommended the prebene bar) I'd check out my review on the Geku Bar or Collar Hooks as another potential option to get your feet wet.

I started out trying cheap knock offs, and even DIY bars foot plates. The cheaper versions worked but the quality difference is so drastic, it's really not worth it. X3 is a great system, but Harambe is the next level in my opinion.

@9xqspx6 6 месяцев назад

I feel like some of these products were designed completely disregarding how they might increase the chance of breaking the bands. The J Bryant bar's hook looks especially horrible with its sharp edges. Even imagining a heavy band breaking is scary. They look like they could do real damage & cause serious injuries. Training with bands is very appealing (and I do cautiously use them myself), but I do have some significant safety concerns regarding them. I would be curious about the experience of others!

@gabakbusiness 7 месяцев назад

can you do a 6 months training using only x3 and see if you can increase your muscle mass?

@hybridresistance 7 месяцев назад

Are you asking if I can do it or if it's possible for someone else? I'd have a hard time committing to that given all the toys I got.

@bryansimms9530 8 месяцев назад

How many bodybuilders do band training tried it yrs ago after 40 yrs of lifting weights and shrunk crap

@ShawnFumo 2 месяца назад

One thing that X3 may have gotten right is them focusing on going to failure and then pushing through partials on the smaller ROM until you can’t move the bar anymore. Recent research seems to say that having tension in the stretched muscle position is important for hypertrophy. So if you just use bands the same as weights, you’ll be putting more force in the shortened position than the stretched. But doing those extra partials probably helps even it out a bit for all the ranges of motion. My guess is it still isn’t quite as efficient in terms of overall work vs fatigue ratio, but for me it is super convenient and fast to use. If I had to go to a gym, there’s no way I’d get in as much exercise, and don’t have the room for a power rack etc in this condo. It also seems to be pretty easy on the joints and is also pretty safe if done correctly. If you get stuck at the bottom of squat, you just stop since the weight is gone at the bottom, etc. I’ve been growing with it, so certainly is possible.

@crob949 9 дней назад

The bench press with bands look like they would be uncomfortable on your shoulders 🤔 am I wrong?

@hybridresistance 9 дней назад

It's not really a problem with your shoulders but depending on the bar and your preference, some complain about elbow discomfort.

@epistemes 9 месяцев назад

Love your reviews. We need a jbryant bar in deep review. Short and long versión. Wanna know how much tensión it can take. I'm still deciding which chep bar to buy before invest big money on x3 bar... maybe. I got a 350 lbs band but now i need bar that can handle it.

@hybridresistance 9 месяцев назад

I do think personally of all the cheap bars that are out there the J bar is the way to go. With that said I wouldn’t expect long term durability, especially considering some of the reviews coming in that are showing what Manny expected would happen where the fabric starts to fade. I personally have had no problems with it, and my nephew still uses it, but people have reported as he saw here in the comments that he can rip through thicker bands. I do think if you’re someone committed to using this sort of style it’s worth investing in a more expensive bar.

@any_C_here 8 месяцев назад

I have read that seven pounds of torque can break an ankle. So. Only use the bar and bands with something that eliminates the ankle danger. A ground plate you stand on which allows the band(s) to NOT touch the floor when under tension. Otherwise, how much training gets in when you injure your ankles?

@hybridresistance 8 месяцев назад

Yes, I think Dr. J often cites this. Of course, a foot plate is ideal but I definitely know plenty of people who are not using one. For sure a risk reward situation.

@gwarlow 7 месяцев назад

As a commenter above mentioned, a thick (1”) plastic cutting board with rubber feet to create space for the resistance bands (4 hockey pucks screwed in at the corners) will suffice. All available on Amazon. There are videos on RU-vid showing the assembly process. Cheers.

@ShawnFumo 2 месяца назад

@@gwarlowAre we sure that is enough though? It might be, but has an engineer actually calculated it out? I just worry if it snapped during the top of a deadlift (which could easily be 300-600lbs since you can handle more than you can with regular weights due to the force curve), that’d be a disaster.

@mp7925 5 месяцев назад

Purchased original X3 two and half years ago ... best thing I did for my body, besides going carnivore 4-7 years ago. Forget about cheap things, not even remotely comparable, have them 2 friends. Trash compared to heavy duty X3.

@yeesenchai 7 месяцев назад

Lol these knockoffs are a hazard, doesn't that a genius to see a threaded bar would snap right in your face when the tension is the closest to your face. The foot plate is the important part to prevent ankle injury if anyone had watched the tedtalk of the x3 bar system creator.

@hybridresistance 7 месяцев назад

I agree I wouldn't trust these bars long term or with heavy bands.

@Gunther-mt2bk 6 месяцев назад

I have to agree. The bands are already a danger. You have to watch what you doing with almost every movement. Having the equipment Ie. The bar or floor plate snap is complete no go. Using bands already is an inexpensive way to get a proper workout. Get good solid accessories.

@Maxible 9 месяцев назад

Legit question. Do you really need a bar or can you just use the bands without the bar and get the same results?

@hybridresistance 9 месяцев назад

You can definetly get benefits using just bands as is, the core argument is that (and there's research behind this) that you exert more force and use motor units using both arms on a fixed bar. But even with general preference, it's a much more enjoyable experience using a bar.
