Coop looks so much more buff in this video, I'm impressed by the gains he's making!

[dylanlasky]

The rogue bands (and my favorites from elite fts) aren't labeled with weight because they are used mainly for powerlifting. When you speed bench they have a different weight than when speed squatting. Elite fts has a calibration chart for this.

I love UnderSun resistance bands. Started using them when Covid shut gyms down and use them still in my home gym. Their price is fair and they warranty their bands for life!

[MidwestPyro]

I use the bodylastics resistance bands and the undersun bands.. Both have held up well and work great.

[jodykoubsky]

Would have loved to see a review and recommendations on the various fabric hip circle bands that are out there as well as a review and recommendations on handles to use with bands. Bands were a lifesaver for me at the beginning of the pandemic and are the mainstay of any prehab/rehab. I use my EliteFTS bands daily.

[BartTrojanowski]

at 6:30 in the video a claim is made that the Gorilla Bow is expensive, but the only of its kind.

Have a look at the Synergee Resistance Bow. It's basically the same thing, and far cheaper.

[lpdc]

It's undersun and torrobands (with Sumo option) for me. Best handles and durability.
Add the Bodylastics curl bar with 2 large triangle links for the undersun bands and the step platform for a more complete set and you're set.

I have had the GoFit resistance tubes for over a year now and I love them. Great attachments and the resistance is pretty accurate IMO for the listed weights. I have the set that goes from 20-100 LBs

Wow you guys have barely scratched the surface on this one. As far as band systems you have the gorilla bow, the teslang and Danskin, the X3 bar, Zeno gym, and crossover fitness.

You really need to break down the bands by different styles, because you have the tube bands the thera-bands the loop bands and the mini loops. Depending on which band manufacturer you get the bands from is going to determine the quality of the band.

As far as loop bands go, you have set for set, committed HP, gym reapers, ProSource fit, valor fit, under Sun, serious, iron Woody, teslang and Damskin, rogue, aromat elite, shelter, wod fitters, x3, trx, clench, power systems, pro Maxima, or and rubber bandits. With the 41 inch loop bands you can test the stink test the low end resistance test and the high-end resistance test and see if the variable range is what matches what's listed the material it's made from and the number of layers.

Then you can do a series on which band handles are actually best to use with the 41 inch loop bands there are plenty of them out there.

Also a series of which band anchors are best. Testing the wall mount versus rack mount

Then you can also do a review of machines that use rubber band resistance like the soloflex, Bowflex Revolution, and the Oyo.

The resistance bands are so versatile that now pro sports players are adopting the X3 protocol to replace their normal weight resistance training.

I know you guys focus on the garage gym community but you really gotta start showing more love to Elite FTS.

Their bands are the best amongst other equipment!

[JMoff]

I can indeed verify that buying higher quality bands, especially those with a carabiner on them is worth it. My face paid the ultimate price when I did not inspect the band prior to use and it snapped and the carabiner hit me in the mouth forcing my tooth through my lip. The blood poured all over the gym floor! I looked like a character from a bad lifetime movie for quite some time! Don’t be me, buy good bands and inspect them frequently!

[bbartel]

Bodylastics are more expensive than Renoj but if they break they don't snap you.

[mattopotzner]

EliteFTS is really the way to go here. For the purpose of this video, could have showcased the different sets/packages they offer.

[TomKGally]

Hi, GGR folks. Enjoyed the video. The bands I like that you didn’t cover are VRTX Mesh Resistance Bands. Because they’re made out of woven fabric, not solid latex or a similar rubber-like material, they’re much easier on the skin and more pleasant to hold. While I haven’t tried to measure the load rigorously with a load meter, my impression from using them is that the load varies less from the start to the end of move; they seem a bit closer to the constant load of, say, cable machines than other bands do. Check them out.

[SkaanMan]

Please do a “one year later” for the Rogue Rhino.

[MrGaryg]

I started back doing resistance band exercises and I kept my bands in a gym bag for quite a few months and 5 of my bands snapped and I bought them on amazon, and I think it was because my apartment gets warm!

[andycane]

Solid episode, but my critique of the video is the fitness trainer portion of using the bands /common mistake as it feels like a low hanging fruit to play on the YouTube algorithm. Feels like a missed opportunity to explain how to use with your weights/rack as most comes with those rack pins as I believe most people don’t really utilize it or feel knowledgeable about the process as I’m guilty of it myself. Or, possibly explain how it break from going over the stretch length limits as most bands aren’t supposed to go to the max stretch and some are only supposed to stretch 2-3x their length as you need to use a higher resistance band to handle that resistance curve that some are chasing (ie using lighter weight with heavy band vs heavy weight and light band as the light is more likely to break at the end range). That might help people quell their fear of the band breaking on them and therefore get more use of their bands

I would like to see a plyo box review. The benefits of wood vs soft or those hybrids one like ab mat.

[scuba]

I've got that first set of bands, gave me a huge arm pump like never before.

[gabriellloyd]

you should do a video on the best dip belts for weighted chins and dips

[jamestonbellajo]

This was a great video. I’d love to see more of these 3. I’m guessing Coop wasn’t in this because he wouldn’t be able to recommend some of these options over EliteFTS with a straight face.
