    Hooke's law (F= -kx) the relation is linear, not quadratic. If a band exercise is too clunky, you can get more consistency with a lighter band and a longer stretch.

    A band exercise you didn't...

    Even with matching pairs in 5 lb increments, the entire set would only be 300 pounds- less than the weight of 2 people. If you can walk on the carpet without destroying it, then you are worried...

    I use bodylastics bands- the heaviest kit they sell. My suspension trainer is made from a pair of tie-down straps (15 for a 4-pack at Home Depot) with a $3.00 quick-link, and pvc scraps for the...

    A heavy set of resistance bands and a suspension trainer (diy- instructions are everywhere) and you have something light and portable you can use anywhere. Outdoors, you can anchor the bands and...

    I second what Domicron said about negatives.

    A better use for bands (if you have a heavy enough set) is pulldowns. I have a routine where I do one set of pullups to failure, then do band...

    I can't post links yet, but check out "Rom GD"'s youtube channel. He built an entire garage full of concrete weights, using galvanized pipe as the bar, and gives pretty simple instructions. The...

    I love working out in the backyard when the weather allows, and a full shed would ruin the fresh air, but you can't just buy indoor gear and leave it outdoors, because it isn't designed for that...
