Resistance Band Training

[Michael]

I know some may disagree with certain exercises but the Sierra bands would be perfect for these. I may try the pullup one the next time I do pullups.

Ross is a beast and I hurt just watching some of his moves. If I made a video of me doing the running forward and then back on the bands it would be a comedy of me crashing back into the wall. I use a band for my chin-ups to get higher reps not to make it harder.

He was offering "Never Gymless" on his site for a dollar because of the coronavirus. It was one of my favorite home workout books.

Bob,

I owned that book too but eventually gave it away when I purged my fitness books collection. I had his earlier book, The Underground Guide to Warrior Fitness, and liked it more. I thought I was in pretty good conditioning then until doing some of his workouts.

One time, Tom (a guy who used to frequent the old BB forum) and I had a friendly competition doing one of Ross’s workouts. Afterwards, we were both panting on the gym floor. The workout was a tri-set I believe, including the C2 Rower, burpees and something else. Tom later said that laying on the gym floor he looked like a beached whale that Eskimo kids would love to jump on as a trampoline.

Good times!

Ross carries more muscle mass than earlier days. I remember having an email exchange with him once, a true gentleman.

Thanks for sharing Michael.

Yes Ross is a beast and the moves probably aren't for everyone. But it gives You an idea how versatile Sierra's bands can be. Bands can be much more forgiving on Your body than  you my think, therapy uses them. I have changed my thoughts on calisthenics, pullups, and back exercises over the years. I have done higher reps in the past. I prefer to make them harder and feel the muscle work then to do more reps. If someone likes higher reps have at it because that's what You like.  

I thought this would be a much better post than the doom and gloom of the virus. We all like to exercise. Anyway, here's is and interesting video on back training:

Yeah, I own the book on my Kindle, good book. I agree Pierini, about Ross. Very nice person.

It's noteworthy that the versatile Power Rack is used as a band anchor .

That's what I use my old power rack for, along for other things also.
