Tube resistance bands will often have handles or carabiners at the end (which you can attach a handle or anchor to). You might also hear these called “fit tubes.” Tip from Coach Matt : The point of this exercise is to feel it along the obliques (side torso), so make sure there’s enough tension in the band during the entire movement. Tip from Coach Matt : Keep your chest up and tall. You want the band to pull with your arm, not your entire body (resist the urge to rotate your torso). #8) HIGH TO LOW BAND ROW Smooth to the touch, natural latex is highly durable and resilient. This premium material is an essential component to design resistance bands made for intense and safe strength training. When purchasing equipment for your home gym, two things are usually at the forefront of importance — space and versatility. Space is usually limited with home gyms, so owners prefer equipment that stores easily and doesn’t take up a lot of room. Each piece of equipment has to perform double duty and serve multiple purposes because of limited space and budget too. That’s exactly what you’ll find with the TRX Rip Trainer. TRX Rip Trainer

The results are outstanding but the other really surprising thing for me was how X3 hasn’t aggravated my existing injuries. In many ways it has rehabilitated them. I also went from 32 waist to 29-30 waist but had to have most of my pants tailored to be let out to make room for my bigger glutes."

Curl Bars: Curl bars typically have multiple grips at various width positions and angles. This can take a lot of strain off the wrists when performing certain exercises, but also help with targeting muscles from different angles. Traditionally you would use resistance bands, no matter if you use the tube or loop style bands, without a bar – but there are several exercises and variations that you can improve by using a bar along with the resistance bands. Tip from Coach Matt : If it’s too difficult to keep your arms straight, loosen and widen your grip on the band so it becomes less taut. #2) OVERHEAD BAND PULL-APART One year ago, I started using the X3 and I’ve been following the workout program.
