RESISTANCE BANDS: Pros, Cons, and MYTHS (BUSTED!) 

The look on your son's face was priceless when you asked him to do one more last rep.

As much as I liked the video the dad in me loved the dad messing with his son on the heavy curls 😂😂

Love the father and son relationship with y'all and great info as well. Thank y'all for sharing!

I had bad injury to my left hand, lost 2 fingers, was pretty depressed going from bodybuilding for 20 years to thinking id never workout again. Using bands I've started to gain a lot of strength back. Knowledge of emg combined with bands you will definitely make as much progress possibly as using free weights

back in Arnolds days i read some research that most of the bodybuilders at the time would have never reach there potential muscle gains with out resistance bands

I love resistance bands, I have been using them for 15 years and they never let me down.Im not a bodybuilder but I love a carved body that's what I target to have.

Since the pandemic I’ve been using the light weight I have as well as resistance bands. I feel they work well. Didn’t know the joint benefits though. Thanks Ron

Never used bands until this year. Been working out with weights since I was 13. I have incorporated it with my traditional workouts. So glad I did. I feel a burn and pump with bands vs traditional weights that is like no other. Btw, your son had me in tears when he gave you that look when he couldn't finish that final rep.

Dad if you don't mind my saying, son was not pleased with you on that last rep lol! Thanks guys definitely gonna be getting this for home!

Excellent explanation and demonstrations … touched upon the main points with clear explanation why and how… indeed you deserve wider audience. Thank you for your time and professional demonstrations.

Thank you Ron! This is the best explanation I've seen about how the bands work and compare to free weights. Very appreciated!

Thanks I appreciate the content. I need something between rehab and working out and I think a set of these will be a godsend

Awesome video! Mad love for my resistance bands. Seen better results personally from Resistance bands(with the help of your videos and insights) over my dumbbells and kettle bells. Thanks for the positive encouragement and God Bless!

THIS is the info I needed to see! My joints thank you!

this guy is awesome, gives great advice!!!!

Great video with a lot of facts which you don't find elsewhere....

Wish I had a dad like you

so glad i found this channel, i've been on the fence about resistance bands now i know i can use them along with the cardio program i started 11 weeks ago. so far i'm down 36.2 pounds, i have 100 more to go. at 63 years old i got tired of being a couch potato and watching all my friends go to an early grave.

Lololol, that cut @5:00 was hilarious 😂

I would also think these would be a hell of a lot safer if training solo. Say benching with a weight above your chest/neck or doing a squat and you fatigue on a lift you have a pretty large weight that will hit the floor with you under it, with these you could let go and might get a bruise on the shin if they ping you but nothing life threatening. I haven't used resistance bands yet, but I did do weights for quite a few years and what I have seen these seem a more joint friendly option and also a safer option if you fail on a lift and don't have anyone spotting you.

What's the best brand of resistance bands to get whats the brand being used in this video?

Resistance bands are no joke. Been using them for over 3 months

This was a really good, easy to understand and enjoyable explanation. Thank you very much!

Good video. Bands are great and even preferred over dumbells for many reasons. They could make at least some exercises safer than dumbbell or barbell variants, they're great for travelling (as they weigh next to nothing), they're cheaper than the equivalent weight of dumbells in many cases, and are more versatile

You two deserve way more fame🙈, keep it up

Great video!! Thank you! I've been thinking about incorporating resistance bands into my basement gym... you've convinced me!

LMAO that's the look i give my step dad when he keep telling me to give him one more for like the 10th time 🤣🤣🤣

Advice from Mr Universe....we are lucky!

how beautifully explained. thank you, both of you look like brothers hardly seems like son and father.

Fantastic explanation spot on!

Great information about the safety factor when doing resistance band squats! Excellent!

Son like Pops really again you killing me 🤣🤣🔥💥

Good comparison and explanation of using bands. Thanks.

Subbed, thanks guys! Just bought a set of bands, let's see how they go 👍🏿👍🏿

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. New Subscriber

I am for resistance bands!!!! Used them for years. Thank you Pastor Ron. I curious what amount of resistance was on that band 75 lbs?

I had the nerve to grunt with him 😂😅👀! My mom bought me some bands and I remember thinking it was just light weight until I got a new gym membership. Well, my first workout was a shock! I have never felt a burn like that from weightlifting, thank you for explaining why 😌🔥!

Fantastic Video Sir!

The look on he's face was madness hahahahahahaha

❤ it thank you

Hey man I love you Channel my man

Nice one Ron 💪

EXCELLENT & INFORMATIVE!!!!!!!!!⭐️

Great explanation

Good explaination!

Ron,..I must say that I have been a resistance band convert for the last decade or so and although I do firmly believe in them,..I have yet to find a real good way to hit the pecs without having to deal with trying to spend half of the effort on leveraging my body to fight the pullback effect when standing. I come from a heavy lifting background (I'm 57) and the ONLY way I have found to get a good compound press with bands is to use my custom made "shorty" bands connected to custom installed hooks on my custom made bench platform so that I can lay on the bench and not worry about the pullback force on my legs and torso. I also created a press bar with easy on easy off hooks so the closed loop bands just slide on and off. I wish someone would create a bench made for bands that allow you to do this without having to engineer solutions and workarounds. At my age,....its more about time and efficiency too! I do NOT like lifting as much anymore as my interests have obviously changed through time and therefore COMPOUND LIFTS are the way to go and isolation exercises are NOT what I'm after. Resistors with the handles unfortunately are geared toward isolation exercises and as much as I'd love to purchase them I think having closed loop bands are the best option so that I can use them to replace my old weight stack on my home gym machine (I figured a way to wrap them around the press arms and pillars on the machine and it does work. The obvious downside to all of this is that it's not mobile. But since I do not travel as much anymore,..its not a deal breaker. Thanks for all you do and thanks for sharing your advice and tips for all to benefit from.

Great advice! Thank you!

Great information love u guys. God bless

He's about to tell Dad "YOU do it!" shoots.... LOLOL I loved this. Just the video I was looking for. New subbie!

THAT WAS AWESOME GUYS

Great job

Hahaha when you said that was a bad one he planned to change a dad for the day.

Very well explained 💪👍

Nice video, what bands are you guys using here??

What bands are those

Hi there Ron, Could you give me the brand name of the Resistance Bands in your video? I live in Australia

Where did you go Ron? Do you reply to comments from your subs?

Very useful thank u 🤠

I'm sold

What is the brand of bands you are using in this demonstration? Link to purchase?

Love the boom

Can resistance bands replace gym???

Will from miami dade county been watching you for a while now very helpful & motivational Where can i order the resistance band like yours or similar? If its not to much to ask & tell me?

what brand are those.. they look very high quality

The squat here looks a bit like good mornings. That's ok if this is intended. It might make sense because with strict form there is hardly any resistance at the bottom point at all. That being said, squats with resistance bands are not your best quad band option. Better are step ups, lunges etc

Did you use resistance bands to get your arms?

Do you still sell the black/heaviest band? I don't see it on your website.

So Ron I brought your 70 lbs resistance bands I’m 6’2 is it because I have to work it more to get 70 lbs resistance or am i too tall?

Could u explain why I keep getting one sore arm that’s coming from my elbow

i need that set

🗣Boom and cut that's a wrap 🎬🎥😂👍🏾 Thanks for the information I'm getting my resistance band ASAP Showing love from Nashville 🛫

What resistance bands are those? I need some more

Wow two pairs of 24” guns !!!

You want to be REALLY careful if squatting with significant resistance with bands as demonstrated in the vid. Your legs and posterior chain are WAY stronger than your arms, it is possible (I’ve done it) for the resistance nearing the top of the rep to get so great that the band will torque your arms out and back resulting in an elbow strain, or worse. Use a bar of some kind, even then be really careful, if you’re loading up you’ll have to start in the bottom position which can be an issue. also, (again I’ve experienced this with a homemade bar made from a steel reinforcing rod and the ‘band bars’ are similar), over time that bar will bend: hook up the bands with a 2” Olympic bar and your good to go and safely.

What brand are those bands?
