What happened to pull ups?

Not at all, you will stay weak what's the point of size without strength

Single arm pull downs? Or straight arm pull downs?

As someone else has said, one arm pulldown, works fantastic, you can actually get more of a stretch and contraction if you slightly rotate and laterally flex your torso to engage more of the lat

One option is to do single arm pulldowns. I have heard there is a benefit to isolating one arm at a time as an added bonus. Of course the cost is that the set will take longer. Let us know what you decided.

Well I had the same issues doing Chest Press down (like Dips) from above the bar. All of the anchored exercises are not good both handed because they either pull or push you away when you get too strong. Depends on the Rep range though. Working from 10 to 15 reps should be fine but might be not ideal. I didn't run into the issue on a bent over row with the lower back. Only when bending more forward and pulling to my chest for more upper traps activation. But if I feel my lower back gives up, I just do a deadlift up to give my lower back a break and then go back to position to finish. Works well. The issue with lower back on a front squad is the same. Just rest a bit and then push again up or don't go for too many low reps. Aiming for only 6 reps is super hard bit it should work. I don't like suitcase squad since you cannot go down so much as with front Squads. I also thin a weighted vest will help you with Lat Pulldowns.

Not sure the clearance under that bar you have but maybe you could loop a band under it, then hook it to a belt or something to add resistance to your pull ups. Alternatively maye place some dumbells on your lap to increase your bodyweight when doing pull-down.

Why not take one of those weight belts with the chains and either tie it around the base of the bar for that getup in the closet, or you could maybe wear a weight vest to keep you planted down

Why not weighted pullups?

Hey there I’m 5’3” and I really want to start using resistance bands at home. Do you have any recommendations?

I do band pulldowns from my pullup bar as well. Fortunately I'm able to wedge my legs under the supports on my pullup station but it's far from perfect. How about one of your adjustable dumbbells in a bag or pack on your lap?

You have a amazing channel I’m happy I watched your video and I’m always gonna be your subscriber ☺️

I wonder if a weighted vest would help hold you down? Amazon has the CAP brand weighted vest in various weights. The 40 lb vest was around $100 and for some reason the 80 lb vest was only around $20 more. Having a weighted vest would also allow you to scale up some of the bodyweight exercises such as pullups, dips and maybe pushups (depends on how well the vest fits and if the weights sag down to the floor or not). I have a 40 lb vest and a 20 lb vest and I use them both regularly (sometimes at the same time, because the CAP 20lb vest fits over the 40 lb Perfect vest).

I also wanted to ask you, in case that my dumbbells only reach a total of 80 pounds and I want to increase the load, what do you think about using dumbbells inside a backpack while using the resistance bands?

Hey, why don't you use your dumbbells to hold yourself to the ground?

Fuck Memberships.

You know the Bone mass do we want to aim for it to be above average? muscle mass to be high on the adequate sign? and skeletal muscle to be high or standard? These 3 i dont quite udnerstand where they should be so would love some help on that please

Found these for $50 on fb marketplace....one of the best fitness investments ever

I have the smaller base bar which is a good product. I can do pullups on it if i lift my legs up. I still look at this big bar from time to time

Lower body progression without weights or light dumbbells only: 1-shrimp squat (start without holding your feet with your hand) 2-pistol squat (start with a chair or bench and lightly touch) 3-single leg RDL (start with the back leg touching the floor) 4-single leg bridge curl using a slider (start with negatives first) 5-side lunges (slow and controlled with straight back, holding dumbbell in goblet position) 6-single leg slow elevated calf raises (start with not elevated version)

I feel I’m watching a sloth doing exercises

For lower body, sand goes a long way for little money. Sandbags are great!

terrible watch, it measures the heart rate with a delay of 30-40s, it can mainly be seen during hiits and strengthening

I have Powerblocks that go up to 90lbs. You can always start with the basic 50lb kit then upgrade when needed. You can always add bands as well to increase the resistance.

Try Nordic Curls where you bend at the waist and not the knees first. Also, 45 degree back extension but that requires a back extension bench which there are folding ones on the market.

Try using TSC squat as a pre exhaust for your suitcase squats, or wall sit as pre-exhaust (you mentioned that already I think :) GREAT topic, BTW.

I understand that space can be a limiting factor, but if you're actually serious about building muscle and you MUST work out at home, get yourself a squat rack, barbell and plates. There are so many cost effective and space saving options out there these days that those excuses don't hold much weight. If you, for whatever reason, just prefer DBs and bands, then to each their own (but you're definitely leaving gains on the table).

I am a 53 year old lifetime natural who works out at home with my Bowflex 1090s. I use the 85s for 3 sets of 8 easy reps on the dumbbell bench press and the 90s for for 4 easy sets of 10 on the dumbbell deadlift squats.

The range of motion isn't optimal on some of the exercises you demonstrated.

That's the problem with those 50lb plastic adjustables, if you are man, eventually you will outgrow that for the heavier lifts. I'm still a noob at lifting, but I'm already 45lbs each hand for 8 reps on the bench press. Luckily, I have the Ironmaster 75lbs. I'm close to 50lbs and if I had 50lb dumbbells, I'd be stuck.

I have hit muscles I never could before using weights or anything else. Bands just do that. You can hit that tiny hard to get spot on upper chest next to deltoids. Right next to collarbone. Bands allows me to hit it. Felt a burn there first time ever.

Dumbbell leg curls are a great option for your hamstrings.

Powerblocks are great if you are in this spot. They start 5-50 and you can buy expansions up to 90. If cost is no object for you the new Rep x Pepin collab releasing soon is the easy winner I think. Thanks for the content!

Why not mention combining DBs and bands? Assuming you're starting with adjustable DBs the bands will be cheap and they can quickly make a weight _much_ more challenging than they were before.

Whisper this in their ears, Terrell Owens. 😂

For all who say you can't get bigger with resistance bands is telling you a lie🎉. I am 51 using resistance bands 🎉

Hello,before watching this video,i bough a bench,sad thing its not adjustable and i need to do incline,do you rhink should buy another bench or try to like make the nwnch incline in some sort of way

what are the ingrediants

Can you have it in your room? have much the equipment weight? just want to check if i should have in the 1st floor in my room.

***FYI: Mother's Day sale with some good deals (20% off, so better than the $500 off they recently had). Plus you get the weight lifting belt and extender belts free (about a $180 value - although I'm a little nervous because they didn't show up on checkout). I even used your discount code and got an additional $120 off. Thank you!

Got this bar, some undersun bands and the step platform after watching your videos. Thanks for the detailed reviews. Standing at 5’6. Would you recommend the 37-38” bands as an alternative?

That's a really small door. Thanks for the review!

I like that resistance band and the items you are using. Is there a link for them somewhere

"promosm"

It's got lifetime warranty though. That for me justified the cost.

Man... Do you also play piano? Nice.

Have you found a better incline bench non speediance. Or other accessories that works well with their system. Their accessories are so expensive, low quality and there are so man accessories that would allow to use it for profeesiantly for types of exercises. Thi sis the only thing that is holding me back.

I've had the Renpho smart scales for some time now, and I'm really sceptical about its ability to separate body fat from muscle mass gains. Whenever I'm in a gaining phase, it nearly always splits any weight gains 50:50 between muscle mass and fat increases. Then, when I cut, it's the same, even when I visibly end up with a higher proportion of muscle to fat than before (in other words, I'm not losing muscle and fat in an equal ratio but it automatically thinks I am). So, I have my doubts about how useful the scales are beyond tracking overall weight alone.

I’ve had mine for about two months. I got the “family” so I got the adjustable bench (though I rarely use the adjustment feature) and the rower, which I use all the time. I have the machine in my office and use the rower for an aerobic warmup. People complain about the rower but I think it’s excellent. I have a Nordic Track rower at home which is great for actual rowing workouts of course, but the Speediance one is just fine for my office use. I also have a Tonal at home, the Tonal is much better in some ways - it’s smoother and the arms make many exercises much more secure. In particular, ab curls are much better on the Tonal. Also, for a given exercise, the Tonal weight number is significantly lower than what feels the same on the Speediance, I’m planning to measure actual resistance with a dynamometer, But I can’t have a Tonal at work and I work out over lunch every day with the Speediance and, for this use, it’s been an excellent investment.

Are you stll using the Renpho bike? Can you do an update on your cardio routine or cardio equipment?
