The platform is heavy enough to remain grounded, despite resistance from two mini bands. If I increase the resistance with thicker bands, I just place two weight plates or weighted bags on either end of the platform to anchor it down.... works perfectly 👌
Hello! Can you please refer to the dimènsions of the platform? The construcrion video link, gives 404 error! How can i buy the band exersise e-book? Thank you i n advance and greetings from Greece! love your videos!!
I literally just got exposed to this type of workout from home idea with bands and was already dreaming about making my own platform. It is great to see how you thought your platform out to draft more ideas for my own. Great work
If the bands provide half a ton of resistance they should be able to help lift half a ton. Resistance is resistance, your muscles don't know the difference. The only real difference is the change of resistance from bands over the course of a movement.
Thanks for the great tip. These boards do go for silly prices. The X3 system at $545 is my current budget winner😜. I've now answered my next question to why you didn't put some hooks closer together. It's because you throw a stepping block to do your presses which is another great idea. I guess one can make multiple versions of this.
It's a pleasure! So happy you liked our resistance band platform. 😆😆 The X3 is definitely a budget winner, I mean killer 😜ha ha Yes, what's so great about making your own, is that you can customise as you wish... I'll be experimenting with different variations of the platform in the future.
I'll be building this over the weekend. Great idea! I have been searching for a great way to do an economic home gym for when it gets cold outside. This will be my winter go to set up. I was wondering if you could comment on or do a video on body fat percentage. Instagram vs. Reality. I'm at 16%, which I feel is healthy for a male. Is it true that lower body fat percentages makes a person moody?
Hey! How did the build go? Are you enjoying it? We might look into that at some point, as it is an interesting topic for discussion. The optimal body fat percentage varies slightly from person to person, based on numerous factors such as genetics and activity levels. However, if the one's body fat is far off from 'optimal', it would definitely influence their hormonal profile, which could have a ripple effect on their mood too.
@@barefootstrength I use the platform often. It works great. I spent $15 on it, because I already had the wood laying around the house. I use it along with body weight exercises to switch things up. My favorite things to do are bench press, deadlifts, and squats. I'm the same guy who commented on instagram about cycling being my addiction. Resistance training is a way for me to balance out my excessive cardio.
Great video. I have been a huge loop band fan for a while now. Much easier on the joints! Please make the video on the science, pros/cons, and incorporating them into a workout schedule.
Maybe its because i am too traditional or an idiot when it comes to physics but those bands are a weird way to gauge how much you are lifting; someone explain it to me. How can one go up and down in weight?
The various bands are rated at different resistances due to their thickness. So, for example, you would just swap out the thinner band for a thicker on to add resistance to a movement. Multiple bands can also be added together to gain even more resistance. As you go up in thickness, the resistance can actually get pretty intense with bands...
I suggest gamerbody youtube, he shows how to track workouts with resistance bands. You can also add resistances to "go up" in weight. There are also videos on how to know exactly the lbs of resistance a band gives by leveraging it and placing a dumbbell on it to see when it rises which would effectively be the max resistance. Sorry if that was confusing. I have just found resistance bands are more forgiving on my joints as I age.
Hi, thank you for your feedback! So happy to hear that you enjoyed the video. With regard to the resistance band exercise book, we are still in the process of creating it. We hope to bring it out after our current series on barefoot shoes, which is still underway. The plan is to create more content on the science behind training with resistance bands and release the practical book with those videos....
Jeg kan helt klart se, at en platform er fantastisk, det minder om de øvelser du udføre i centret. Jeg er blevet helt modsat Jeg elsker den frihed et band giver og det du kan sætte den på dine fødder bag din ryg osv, gør min træning er fantastisk. Men mange vil nemmere kunne forholde sig til en platform, hvor bandet er sat fast og man føler sikkerheden (som fra centrets)
@@barefootstrength During lockdown I started to use resistance Bands for the first time in my life as they had closed the gym for about 2 months. Now I can go back to the gym again, but who knows - if they will close it again for any reason I'll def build a board like this and get your ebook :)
How did you find training with bands for two months? Did you manage to retain your strength? Our platform is very versatile... great for those days when there is just no time to go to the gym, but you want to still get a few sets in.
@@barefootstrength - The training with the bands had it pro's and its con's; so for me it would the best to get at least some little weights beside the platform, too. When it came to my upper body I was able to hold my shape for these two months (what is great) and my legs and my back improoved even a little bit just the resistcance bands what was very surprising. Over all I didn't lost my shape during these two months, so I totaly agree with you that a platform like this is great for the theys you just didn't made it to the gym. And there is also to mention that I did'nt had a platform like this and had to be very creative for these months, so I guess that the workout with the platform will for sure improove the training with the resistancebands.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀Wisely created vdo and how to explain it in the most practical and easiest way for all levels of knowledge to understand and so to use it in real daily life. Thank you very much.🍀🍀🍀❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
One of the most beneficial and practical channels on the subject. I have been trying to sign-up to your patreon unsuccessfully for last 2 months. I have messaged you on comments in several videos to raise the issue. Come-on! Please fix the patreon issue and let us help you back!
Hi my good brother. Really sorry for the late reply. Been working on a new video for the past month, as well as a new program which has sucked out ever bit of time from me. And since I like to answer all the comments myself, I just haven't had the time. Anyway, it’s no excuse... I’ll definitely try and get to responding more rapidly next time. My team and I are so happy that you are so willing to support us! However, we have closed our Patreon account for the time being. The reason for this move was due to time allocation. Our small team is struggling to keep up with all the demands of RU-vid, Instagram and our website as is. Creating exclusive and valuable content on Patreon too, meant that we were having to sacrifice our time on the other platforms. So, we made the decision to streamline things. Perhaps, we will re-open our Patreon account in the future, as our team grows bigger. Meanwhile, if you would like to support us, please consider purchasing one or more of our digital programs on our website www.exercisinghealth.net/shop We are also currently working on a new 'Strong Feet, Strong foundation Program' which focuses specifically on building athleticism from the ground up. We are super excited about it! Regardless, thanks again for showing such interest in our content. I can't tell you how much pleasure it gives us when we see people appreciate the hard work we put into our videos. Keep in touch brother! Regards, Chris
