24 excellent band exercises

RubberBanditz sent me some bands (The Bar Master Calisthenics Kit), so I've decided to film just a few of the many exercises you can do with them! If you're interested in picking some up, help support Beast Skills and buy them here - http://bit.ly/BandsYT You'll see in the video that bands are super versatile - whether it's upper or lower strength, flexibility, or even grip. Travel a lot and still looking to get in a workout? They're super portable too! Pack some bands! ========================= THE EXERCISES! 0:23 - Good mornings (great for warm-up and hip strengthening) 0:38 - Band deadlifts (for times when you can't get to the gym!) 0:56 - Band pull aparts (excellent for upper back strength and good posture) 1:08 - Straight arm band pulldowns (fantastic for scapular mobility) 1:24 - Band dislocates (another fantastic one for scapular/shoulder mobility and prep for overhead squats. Easier to pack than a PVC pipe too!) 1:42 - Lat stretch (there are TONS of stretches to do with the band, one of my favorite to open up the shoulders) 1:58 - Band resisted pushups (make regular pushups tougher!) 2:19 - Wrist curls (a stronger grip always helps) 2:28 - Reverse wrist curls (keep the forearm muscles balanced/pain-free) 2:38 - Bicep curls (there are two types of people, those who like to bicep curl and those who also lie) 2:50 - Assisted ring muscle-up (A great way to rep out a difficult skill!) 3:08 - Assisted ring dip (the band keeps the rings steady for beginners too!) 3:23 - Assisted pushup (great idea for those just starting!) 3:38 - Assisted one arm pushup (great way to work up to a challenging beast skill!) 3:53 - Assisted one leg squat (don't forget to work the lower body! The pistol is a classic and a band helps) 4:06 - Assisted chinup (east to see progress when you start using a smaller band!) 4:17 - Assisted pullup (hands facing away on this one. A precursor to the bar muscle-up!) 4:26 - Assisted typewriter pullup (looks killer. more of a challenge than regular pullups!) 4:43 - Assisted bar muscle-up (I have given numerous athletes their first bar muscle-up with just this exercise alone) 5:02 - Front lever pull (can be used for holds too! Working the straight arm pull is challenging!) 5:41 - Side lever pull (tough set-up for the flag, but it can get you some good quality reps) 5:53 - Assisted planche work (another fantastic use for the bands. Pushing through the straight arms is tough!) 6:16 - Assisted one arm chin-up (lots of ways to get on top of this mountain, but using a band is a great idea) 6:35 - Assisted one arm muscle-up (we're getting into crazy town now. Yes, this can be done without a band. No I can't do it myself) ========================= There you have it! Just a few things you can do with just a few bands in your bag.
