It’s kind of funny how things work out sometimes. Not too long ago, I made the decision to finally add a set of resistance bands to my training equipment, and boy am I glad I did. Recently, BodyBuilding.com posted an article about resistance bands, and so I thought I would share that as well as share my own resistance band overview video that I posted to YouTube and Rumble recently.

Resistance bands are a great way to supplement the exercises you can already perform with your existing equipment or even be a way to jumpstart your own home gym. There are a lot of companies who make resistance bands, and you can find them in a variety of sizes, resistances, and price ranges. My only recommendations would be as follows:
- Get a set that has a wide resistance range. Different exercises are going to require different starting resistances. For instance, you wouldn’t use the same weight for bench press as you do for skull crushers. It is going to be more expensive, but you’ll be much happier with the versatility and range of exercises you can do with an entire set.
- At least one of your bands should be a 12″. Most band you’ve probably used and seen are the standard 41″ bands, but if you want to do monster walks or banded squats, you’ll need a 12″ band.
You can find the set of resistance bands that I discussed in my video here.
In the near future, I’ll be working on a video which covers different exercises you can do with resistance bands to give yourself a total body workout! Stay tuned!
Until next time! Cheers!
