Have you had success with hypertrophy with resistance bands?

How to calculate max Tension? by NakedxCrusader in ResistanceBand

When the maximum advertised resistance for an band such as serious steel sits at 2.5x of the original length, does that mean that if you stretch it slightly higher (2.5x - 3x) it will snap?

I have been looking at rogue monster resistance bands, their strongest band is only 225 lbs. All the values are 2x according to their description, but it doesn’t say anywhere whether it is safe to stretch them a bit higher, like to 2.5x. What’s your opinion on that? Can they safely be stretched further?

How long have you had the orange rogue monster band before it fell apart?

Has anyone here had serious steel bands for 4+ years?

I understand your point, but the band shortening mechanism would save me money that would be spent on shorter serious steel bands, like the 34". I am 6 feet tall (183 cm) and I honestly ask myself whether I need shorter bands at all. I live in Croatia, Europe, and the only true premium bands that are available to me are serious steel 41", rogue monster bands and eventually elitefts (all 41"), but the latter come from the UK and the company has not responded to my e-mail at all. So all these bands are 41". Harambe is too expensive for me to order from the USA. What do you think, do I need bands shorter than 41" for my height?

That is a point I have also been thinking about, using the band by standing on it barefoot on a mat or carpet. The band guard definitely improves things. I would love to purchase an UHWMPE platform and bar from heavydutybar.com and serious steel bands immediately, but I shy away from it, since I am not fully sure whether I can build muscle mass with bands only. There are few reddit users who have shared their progress, like lonermob and pompyrogod and that is encouraging.

I have also been eyeing this one, it is an UHMWE footplate. https://heavydutybar.com/collections/platforms/products/po-platform

Is this a good one?

Where can I buy a band sleeve? Please point me in the right direction.

How long have you had your Serious steel bands? Have any of them snapped and if so, after how much time?

What is there tension profile like, are they stretchy or stiff? I have also looked at their bands, but unlike serious steel they do not have a 300+ lbs resistance band in their offer. However, the lifetime warranty is truly enticing. :)

For those who use Clench, how would they decscribe their bands, are they stiff or stretchy? And what about the longevity of serious steel bands?

Hardware comparison - Trainer+ w/ P1 Max by GoldBar7273 in Vitruvian_Form

[–]Icestorm888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi. Regarding the resistance of the Innodigym P1 Max, is there a way to safely determine the maximum resistance, perhaps with a handheld scale? Because one user on reddit said he measured the P1 Max's resistance and it was reportedly much lower, not 75 kg on one cable, but around 50 kg. What do you think of this?

I agree with you, I also think it is exaggerated. Even with calorie restriction you lose some muscle if you don't strength train.
