Post a pic of the kind you have/thinking about getting. There are so many different types, some are made for building muscle and some are made for tightening and toning

I used them with P90x like 11 years ago and lost mad weight. They do the job when it comes to toning and definition. Lean shit.

I went from a pudgy ass nigga to a model ass nigga in like 5 months
You have to do high reps and make sure you do an isometric hold with each rep

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere on here BUT.....


Jim Jones needs to work on his diet, he likes to try amd workout with dudes like Mike Rashid and those street dudes who do calisthenics but he’s one of those dudes that workout in the morning and then go to Jacks and then smoke and drink the rest of the day

Ever since T.O. said he used them instead of free weights, years ago, I never questioned their validity.

You can’t argue with an apparatus that gives you resistance on the concentric AND eccentric motion.

You come out a BEAST!

I recommend.

I started with calisthenics myself.

He’s 100% correct. I couldn’t post it but go to YouTube and look for the James Johnson episode of houseguest with Nate Robinson. He uses an apparatus for a full body workout that had Nate sweating....looked pretty sweet and you can hold it in your hand...

Agreed ... really helpful in recent months. Been using them more.

The one band I had just popped but I had used it for years. Helps when you have no weights around. I used to do curls while watching TV. Now that uou all mention it, I need another set.

Too many vids of people getting fucked up with these bands. I'll stick to machines and free weights.

I just picked up the Undersun Resistance bands. They are legit. Best of all, they force you to activate and utilize your core and stabilizer muscles when used

Aight fellas, I just ordered these yesterday and they arrived about an hour ago:
Sunpow bands

One of the lowest prices for a set and the resistance is heavy enough. I tried the red band out the box and used it for pullup assists and bench press. It really does get your heart going. I ordered a bar also but it hasn't arrived yet:
Bionic Body Bar

We'll see how this goes once I develop a routine.

One of the best things about them is that you can create new exercises, stretches, etc. Just do them slowly to ensure you are not risking injury or strain. See what works best for you. Target all types of muscle groups.
