Hi all,

I'm looking for feedback on resistance band training and to also talk shop a bit. There seems to be very little info in the Malaysian market about it and in the internet, seems a bit few.

I can't quite use weights because of an old back injury so I look this up as an alternative.

Here's the funny thing.

Resistance is.... resistance, right?
The industry has made it sound like weights are the cause of industry. Many a time, I hear people saying "Oh you have back pain? Don't use weights. Just use bodyweight"

Son, resistance is resistance, no matter what form it is. It's just in varying degrees of resistance.
In buying a resistance band, you're selecting an amount of resistance.

I betcha get my drift here right?

Anyway, here's a cheapo trick. U know those old motorcycle tubes? Slice them into half or something, and use it as your "resistance" band.

It only produces 16-59LBS of resistance. That......quite little isn't it?

Flexbands! FTW!
