A Body Builder’s Reaction to Resistance Band Workout

Undersun Fitness founder, James Grage, meets up with his old friend - an IFBB (International Federation of Bodybuilding) Pro Bodybuilder, Randy Sarabia, for a resistance band workout. James has been training exclusively with bands for years now after he decided to ditch the gym. Randy is a hard believer in weight training, and going to the gym as his preferred way of training. After years of Randy poking fun at resistance band workouts, it was time to put him to the test.

In this video, James teaches Randy the benefits of training with resistance bands over free weights, and why things like linear variable resistance, and resistance in multiple planes can be a true game changer when it comes to building muscle, strengthening your core, and getting that peak muscle contraction throughout the entire exercise.

This is, in a microcosm, the perfect way to display what happens when you introduce a skeptic to resistance band training. James hit the nail on the head when he said the best way to convince someone is to have them try the bands for themselves. I started with resistance bands when the gyms closed in 3/20, and I haven't (and won't) go back.

The hardest part of convincing someone to work with bands is the resistance….

52 years old - former college 400 hurdler with lots of back issues and knee probs. Started bands a few years ago and gained more muscle with less injuries than with weights throughout my 40s....believer. My chiropractor was shocked when I said only used bands and pull ups - no weights.

Your videos are what convinced me to give it a try, and now I'm a convert, bands are fantastic

I’ve not bothered with weights for years since using bands. I take them on holiday, they fit in my carry on luggage with everything else. I only use them with door anchors, or tie them round any fixed solid object.

I ordered and tried the bands and they were exhausting but effective when feeling the burn. The best part about them is what the body builder said, about not having weight on your joints when doing the routines.

Very good exercise with no injuries thanks to resistance bands! And thank you James for sharing all the good stuff 👌💪

[mattnelson]

Great video brotha! I'm just started the 3rd month of TA2 Build and am loving it!! :)

[peakenterprisesllc]

I love the bands, you the man James Thnx..

[wolflike]

i dont really care if i look ridiculous. These are so practical for something you can buy only once for a long time and have it done anywhere in the go, without having to worry to find a gym membership first. I'm so excited to start using them in my routine.

[spinedoc]

How can anyone be skeptical if you use only bands and look so great?

[jimmysegovia]

I love them!!!! I use them every day! much better results than weights!!!! no injury constant

[sthomper]

its either fighting gravity or ever increasing tension from a chemical bond

[williamsannuto]

Its a great workout more flexibility and options while taking up no space at home 🏠. A home run !
