I like how you have no ego even with the press ups, instead of editing it you openly say "yeah can't get it at that band level I will drop down" most online personalities would have just done the whole "yeah did they all with the hardest band".

I was thinking the same thing. Great honesty and transparency.
Love the fact you actually go through the working sets and demonstrate that failure is attainable with the correct technique even for a big dude like yourself, it cements my faith in bands even more
Excellent as always, James. These sets are no joke, and the burn under tension is awesome. I'm 63 yrs old now & I've followed your training routines for quite awhile. You've helped me transform into a beast using resistance! Keep pushin' it James, I love all your training routines. Thanks.

Had to subscribe after watching this. This guy left his ego at the door to give us a no BS workout.
I've had resistance bands for years but never once used them, always been a weights guy. I did this workout this morning (day 6 of Coronavirus quarantine) and i gotta say.. WOW! I totally underestimated bands, got a KILLER burn

I like how this guy teaches. My bands arrive tomorrow and I can’t wait.
These bands and your training programs have helped save my life, I can't thank you enough for everything you do.
I got my undersun bands last week and did this chest workout last night and boy I can feel it today. Can’t wait to see the progress as I continue to follow this series.

I appreciate you James Grage! I'm in my late 40's and free weights have taken a toll on me.I switched to bands and it allowed me to continue training without the snaps and aches.This is a great way to train smarter.I really never felt it in my chest with the bench press anyhow.Now I actually feel like I have a chest .L0l.I can see the results without my shoulder pains.I'm 6'4 223 and want to continue being healthy and strong with muscles.Thanks again !
Love how you get a tough workout and can’t complete the sets easily. You look amazing and I’m inspired. Thank you !
The best KZread training guru bar none💪love your band videos,keep em coming,I love it
At 66 y/o I have struggled with shoulder and Bicep issues for over 5 years. I recently switched to exercise bands and have literally rehabilitated both to better than I ever was. James has the best exercises I have I have seen to date. Every time I do one of his muscle specific exercises, I really feel the difference and the wild pumps I am getting. Thank you James for helping me get mu body feeling younger and stronger than ever.
Intelligent approach to band training. Highly recommended!
Big thanks to James I've had bad injuries to my shoulders making weight training harder and posing a risk of making my injuries worse. I got into bands through physio and at this point I'm now fitter, stronger and physically healthier through band training and people like you sharing tips and programmes. Thank you very much
I'm sure I speak for others as well when I say this, but your resistance band videos have been straight up gems. We're all doing our best to adjust without access to a gym, and seeing how challenging a banded workout can be vs. weights has been up-lifting. I will never underestimate the power of a resistance band ever again lol! Your channel is about to blow up!!!
Thanks James.. keep them coming. Your bands work great, been using them all summer and luv em....
Grage is quickly becoming my favorite youtube trainer. I have some experience getting in shape, dating back to my days in the Army, but Ive recently discovered the benefits of using resistance bands over free weights, and I honestly dont think ill ever go back. Resistance bands are so practical and I find that they help me maintain better form. I really like training by feel more than worrying about how much the weights I were using weighed. It helps that bands fit in a nice travel size pouch too. Love Grage's videos.
I love this guy since watching his videos I've started using flat bands and tube style bands with handles and door anchors I still use weights I still do bodyweight workouts and adding resistance bands to the mix my home gym is now complete Bands work James Grage you are the man
Thanks for the ideas. I bought bands a while back for assistance with my calisthenics, but now I use the bands for other exercises like upper chest flyes at home and squats/lunges/bridges. As long as you're creative you can get a good workout with any exercise
Another great video James. We need a T-shirt, something like "Join the Resistance" for us band lovers.

I like the T-shirt idea! Just as long as "UNDERSUN" is below "Join The Resistance". Wouldn't want people to interfere with a workout with politics! A Camo shirt with the "JTR" in black and an orange "UNDERSUN" below the "JTR"? Nah! Black shirt--Camo "JTR"--Orange "UNDERSUN" below the "JTR".
I really loved your understanding on building muscles. It is helping me alot. Please continue making videos on resistance bands. Thanks !!
Thanks a lot for making these videos man. I went from being able to deadlift maybe 65% of my body weight to almost 100% by watching videos like these to work muscle groups more effectively.
You've been a real star James during lockdown. Really useful information and encouragement.
Guy just stacked the x-tra heavy band with the medium band and did push ups. Brutal.
James, just want to let you know how much I appreciate your vids. I purchased your undersun bands a few weeks ago.
So glad I was suggested this video. Will spend time watching the rest over the next few days. Thanks
Just did this, can't feel my chest. You are awesome James, thanks. Need to sign up to your program if this is how it is...
Thank you for putting these videos up. It really helps.
Great stuff!This is a killer chest work out, always get that deep burn after chest, so much fantastic information in your vids buddy!!!
Thanks for all this helpful information! I'm using bands more often now. Thank you!
Hey James, I’m really glad you did failure reps or whatever you want to call it because that makes me feel better since an advanced guy like you does that it doesn’t matter if I do it as a beginner! Love your content! Thanks!
Wow man, honestly the best chest workout I've ever done. I used a medium band and a pair of parallettes for the push ups and it burns!! Thanks for the great content James!
Such as awesome workout, wow you feel it smashing your core too! I just completed it during Corona lockdown and really enjoyed it. James, I cannot thank you enough. Going to the gym is my core outlet for anxiety and stress relief. Glad I can get the same benefits in the living room.
Just thank you all I ve been searching for just has been said ! 🙏
I love these videos. It's nice getting some background behind the diff exercises. Thank you!
I bought some resistance band today and your videos are very helpful, thank you sir!
Best chest workout with bands on KZread by far. Keep up the good bro
Your videos are keeping me motivated and continuing to workout during the quarantine. Thank you!
I have always told people “your muscles have NO IDEA how much weight you’re lifting. They just know if they are getting worked and fatigued. Don’t pay attention to the numbers on the dumbbells, instead focus on good form and mind muscle connection. Love it bro! Good advice
Thank you James I have really transformed my body following your technique’s
Wish id discovered ur ch sooner, but better late than nvr, im an older guy, i find bands to do the trick, and easier on my joints, still find it incredible that you look the way you do with bands! Youve been a God send for this old geezer, thanx for ur info and inspiration, stay humble.....

My triceps can't handle 3 sets with bands.they burn out fast. Very weak muscle for me
i'm getting started using these bands, watching the vids, taking notes etc. i got fed up going to the gym, slacking off, going on vacation, tough to restart again, you know the excuses and reasons, and rationalizing. i appreciate the humble approach, the huffing and puffing etc exhibited by a dude that's in damn good shape, it's encouraging for a pretty much out of shape beginner like me. the missing ingredient in my case is abstinence, from eating unnecessary crap. it's my substance, let's say, to be avoided like alcohol for some.
This is what I have been waiting for since that magnificent back video, and just in time for my own chest day. Looking forward to watching it, starting now 👍

Thank you for an amazing content, you are very knowledgeable, thank you for sharing such a great material. You are an inspiration to us all!
It’s best to set the anchor on the hinged side of the door where it has the most structural strength since the force will be applied across a much larger area. Also, the anchor will stay in place if someone opens the door, as opposed to anchoring it on the top, bottom or opening side where the anchor will slip if the door is opened. I don’t really see it damaging a door since the soft anchor distributes half of the force on the door frame which is very sturdy, but I’d still play it safe. Also, I love using bands for chest flies. As he points out in his chest videos, the front delts really take a lot of the load away from the chest at the back end of chest flies. And the chest takes the most load once the front delts are nearly fully contracted after your arm is almost straight out in front of you. So I like to do unilateral chest flies with the bands because you still get a full stretch in the chest, but the resistance the band produces reaches a climax after the front deltoid can no longer contribute and the load is almost exclusively on the chest as your arm moves past the midline of your body. And internally rotating the hand towards the end helps to contract the upper chest just a bit extra. I’ve definitely helped my upper chest catch up to the lower using bands.
Thank you so much. I am trying to find good resistance band workouts because push ups are difficult because of a tendon surgery i had. This definitely helps remedy that. 😊
Just found this guy and he’s great. Between his stuff and Jeff Cavalier, I’m gonna get SWOLE and strong! I’m new to bands, but I’m completely sold on them. Great videos and a great instructor!
During this outbreak situation, everything is closed and I cannot go to gym as well. So, after seeing this channel I have ordered resistance and starting exercising at home. Best way to kill the time and stay active.
Glad I bought my resistance bands from you. This is great content. Happy to support!
Thanks James really needed this haven't used my bands in a minute
On a door that swings out toward you, you can also put the anchor through the hinge side of the door which is the stronger part of the door.

Great band workout. Thanks. More please.

Tons of valuable content here. Serious props.
Due to family and work commitments I’ve had to give up getting down the gym, it’s such a shame when we’ve spent so much time effort and money to get big to let it slip away But now I can follow your vids/tips and continue at home, awesome! Thankyou! You look pumped dude!
James, I bought your bands to use them for Jiu Jitsu type workouts but Ive evolved to use your bands for my go to work out. The bands are of high quality. Something I learned while using them is that even though Im isolating a muscle, such as biceps or triceps, the bands' resistance causes my wrists to activate, my forearms to activate, and other tiny muscles in my body to activate as they try to stabilize the bands. Ive found my muscles shaking as Im reaching peak and even when I put my body back into a resting position, my muscles are working to control the movement. These are something you need to feel to believe. Great for Jiu Jitsu exercises as my grip strength has improved and you can mimic pulls and guard control
Very good tutorial! I've been struggling to get a good chest routine with bands.
Very good video. I've been looking for a good video on chest exercises with bands. This video is all I need. Thanks again.
Tried this today, with only 1 resistance band I bought from Marshall's and Matawan am I feeling it. Can't wait to get the undersun fitness bands💪🏼💯
You are the Best James G... God bless You... Thanks You...
Thanks James!
Perfect, today's chest day (TA2 Build) gonna give this a try 😎🤙
I started RBT because of this guy. Game changer really!
Mr Graze , you are absolutely fantastic Never thought this all can be done at home Keep it up 👍 Looking forward for more videos
Thanks for the fantastic videos James I’m jealous of your house man, jeez that place looks like a compound. Congrats on your success
Phenomenal is an understatement. Ive been intense bodybuilding for the past 11 years. Ive injured myself countless times and at the age I am now, i feel older than what i am due to aches and pains.. I’ve made the choice to stop breaking down my body until its too late. So happy i came across these bands and his company. I know for a fact these give you an incredible pump and can In fact maintain and build on muscle. Thanks James, i am adding these to my cart. Cant wait to take these to the beach and get early morning workouts going. God Bless!
This will help me during corona time, thanks!
I just got these bands in and my first chest workout was killer with these bands! Better than weights!

From past more than 12 weeks i tried the same way what James sir used the band in 1st set of Push up...using the extra heavy band but i never made it at all with that band in Push up hope it will take me a lot of time cause he is a pro and i am just newly with bands :)
