I have a big fat question here for you. I am training with bands since almost 6 months. Apart from the researches I made, I have also experienced on my own body that some exercises are mechanically enhanced by band training (e. g. deadlifts and squats) while others are totally crippled by band training (e. g. bench, rows, lateral raises. This is because with every movement there's an -easier- part and a -harder- part. The structure of a band is that of increasing the load the more it gets stretched and therefore is compensative for the strength curve only if the -easier- portion of the movement is the final. On the contrary, when the -hardest- part is the initial, every band exercise is ridiculously easy or ridiculously impossible to perform, aka, the strength curve gets disrupted by the progressive overload delivered by the band. My decision has been that of using bands only when the curve gets compensated (IT DELIVERED GREAT RESULTS, and perform bodyweight exercises to cover the muscles that would have had a disrupted curve, so no bands for those movements.
What do you think about it?

Please, may I ask for always subtitles for deaf people? Would be really great. Reading lips is not my superpower. You're great. With a little help from you I fixed after years of fighting with pain my lower back problems after a car accident. Greetings from anywhere in the world. Love to travel and I am thankful for that. Without your help I still would have been lying in bed the whole day. And for a day I was in wheelchair. That's the day I started fighting for freedom. No limits. Even if I am deaf.

Wow, didn't know I could do so much for my back with bands. I also learned a lot more about the different parts of the back. I think a lot of people think of the back as just lats. You showed me there's a lot more to it. Back width and thickness has always been my weak point. Now maybe I can make some better headway!

Thank you, great exersizes! A question I have is how many of these exercises should be done in a single workout? Two per zone or all of them mentioned? I-m going to try 6 exercises per zone and use all you demonstrated? Sound good, or am I overtraining?

Mr. Jeff,
Do you have a band / calisthenics program designed for truck-drivers? I'm just now discovering your band videos and they give me hope that maybe I could have a respectable fitness program, despite the drawbacks of truck driving.

This is amazing. Thank you so mch for all the bands routines you show. Because of the pandemic lockdown and the lack of barbells I only could get resistance bands and informational content like this makes me be able to have a good workout.

Great video, but how can i replicate movement require additional tools? Such as pull-up. It is a bit impossible in home training. I would love to see a video for -band workout at home-. Have a nice day

Jeff, Do you have a specific order in which you work each zone? Do you start working from zone 1 and end with zone 4; working the larger muscle groups then finishing with the smaller muscle groups?
