Video Details

Understanding your own ability level is a crucial step in structuring an effective training session. By assessing your performance and setting up a clear scale, you can tailor your workouts to match your strength and enhance your progress. This tutorial will guide you through the process of establishing a personalized training scale based on your body weight and the types of resistance bands available, ensuring you get the most out of your workouts.

Start by determining your current body weight and mark it as the center point of your scale. For instance, if you weigh 65 kilograms, that becomes the baseline. Next, familiarize yourself with the different resistance bands: the red band typically reduces your weight by about 14 kilograms, the blue band by 23 kilograms, and the green band by 30 kilograms. This means that if you're using the green band, you would effectively be performing pull-ups as if you weigh only 35 kilograms. To build the upper portion of your scale, you can add weights incrementally using a weight belt, starting from your body weight and going up in manageable chunks.

Once your scale is set up, it’s time to find your one-repetition maximum (1 RM), which reflects your true strength level. Begin with the lightest band and gradually work your way up, trying to perform a single repetition. If you find a band too easy, skip to the next one; if it feels too hard, reduce the weight slightly. The goal is to identify the point at which you can just manage one rep—this will help you identify where you currently sit on your scale. With your 1 RM established, you can easily start crafting a training program that targets your goals while steadily pushing your strength.

Highlights:

  • Create a personalized scale based on your body weight and resistance bands to assess your current ability.
  • Use the right bands to understand how much you're effectively lifting when performing pull-ups.
  • Establish your one-repetition maximum (1 RM) to create a tailored training program to help you progress effectively.

well done for getting through all of the
1.86
beginner intermediate and advanced
3.419
options in the series now we're going to
5.879
have a look at the actual programming
8.099
behind your training session how your
10.889
training session is going to be
11.969
structured how many sets how many reps
14.429
what you're actually looking at doing
16.619
when you go out to train this episode
19.949
we're going to have a look at actually
21.6
finding your ability level and placing
24.3
it on a scale that you're going to draw
26.34
out and record down so now we're going
30
to create our scale and we're going to
32.219
place ourselves on to it to begin with
35.25
we're going to take our current body
37.32
weight and place that into the middle of
40.26
the scale now for me that is 65
43.649
kilograms so I'm going to place that
45.66
with a line in the middle now we've done
49.53
that we are going to start looking at
51.87
the red blue and green bands start with
55.949
we'll look at the red band because that
58.199
one is going to give us the smallest
60.53
decrease from our body weight so if we
64.589
move down to the red we know actually
68.43
from the manufacturers website that
70.86
we're gonna take 14 kilograms off of our
74.549
body weight this is gonna be a rough
76.95
estimate it is not going to be very
79.35
accurate because depending on the height
81.81
of the person and how taut the elastic
85.59
band is going to be means that it's
87.63
going to be pulling at different amounts
89.909
but for now we're just looking at the
92.1
manufacturer website and we're gonna
93.96
take the 14 kilos for our scale next
97.829
will be the blue band that will actually
101.1
take 23 kilos off and leave us with 42
105.299
kilograms and what this means is when
107.909
I'm doing a normal body weight pull up
110.61
I'm actually pulling 65 kilograms up
114.18
from the ground and just with my arms if
117.57
I use the red band I'm pulling 51 kilos
120.689
and if I'm using the blue band I am
122.399
pulling 42 kilos with my arms
126.71
lastly with the green band we are gonna
129.569
be actually taking 30 kilograms off so
132.87
it means that
133.709
you're gonna be pulling 35 kilograms off
136.59
of the ground just with your arms with
139.14
this pull-up now we have the downward
143.25
scale let's have a look above the 65
146.25
kilos so for this we know that we could
148.799
add weight by just simply placing the
151.65
weight belt onto us with varying amounts
154.709
of weight plates and we know that we can
157.829
put as much or as little weight as we
160.079
like on so I'm just going to add a 10
164.4
kilo increment for 65 to 75 and then
169.23
we're going to go up again to 85 and
171.569
then finally 95 obviously this can be as
175.109
small as you like or as big as you like
177.599
the scale is absolutely as much or as
181.769
little as you like it to be after
184.439
creating the scale now you have to place
186.84
yourself onto it now to do that we are
189.93
actually going to spend a whole session
192.03
just figuring out what are one
194.79
repetition maximum is going to be so we
198.269
call this a 1 RM so the 1 RM is a way of
203.609
checking what our raw strength is and it
207.299
means that we're going to look at what
209.669
could we only do once on the bar so how
213.449
what weight could we use that means that
216.359
we would only be able to do one of those
219.239
repetitions if you feel that you could
221.729
do doubles or triples it means it's too
224.31
light and we really want to find out
226.5
what that single one is so when you
229.799
start you're going to start very very
232.019
light you have to be completely honest
234.75
with yourself as a student or if you're
237.18
the coach you really want to have a look
239.669
at starting with something that you know
242.04
is going to be very very easy so let's
245.37
start with the green band here now
248.609
we know that using the scale we're gonna
252.75
weigh 35 kilos so it means that our
256.59
first check of being able to do a single
259.59
repetition with the green if we can
261.269
complete it we know that we're starting
264
at the scale of 35 kilos and that we can
266.94
do that
267.54
okay so again I'm going to use the band
270.54
here I'm going to hang pull up and out
274.98
now because I've completed that I know
278.04
that we're starting at 35 kilos and we
281.64
can move up to a nut the next way up and
284.49
we're going to have a go up to doing
286.68
that and trying again we're now going to
289.86
move up the scale we're going to try to
292.38
get far up the scale as we can and
294.78
you're going to do that in very small
297.27
increments now to begin with you might
300.03
find that with your strength ability
302.12
actually the green is very very easy is
306.12
way too easy so you know that if you
308.58
were to go to the blue that would be
310.44
fairly easy as well just go straight to
312.84
the blue give that one a go as well as
315.35
you get closer to what you are
319.58
potentially being able to your 1rm so
322.74
let's say that after the blue band here
326.01
we are starting to struggle we're still
329.01
able to do those singles but we know
331.14
that the work is starting to get a
333.12
little bit harder we want to make those
335.28
increments smaller so we start with the
338.73
blue there and we can actually use the
341.25
weight belt to place a little bit more
343.32
weight on us to make us a little bit
345.33
heavier so the difference between the
347.46
blue and the red has now replaced a
350.46
middle ground in between the two so as
353.94
we start adding more weight to ourselves
356.58
and using the blue band it means we're
359.46
getting closer and closer to that red
361.89
band okay
363.15
so we're using the blue going towards
367.14
the red and you just keep adding weight
369.42
and you want to look at usually around 1
372.81
kilo as an increment so as you start
375.45
getting very close to your 1rm you only
378.03
want to be putting very small amounts of
380.55
weight as increments as you get closer
383.07
to it so we've been using the blue band
385.64
we've gone from the green up to the blue
388.5
and now we're slowly moving towards the
390.69
red let's say you're using the weight
394.02
belt to go up in one kilogram increments
397.68
up until you get up to that red
400.83
and value you get to the red band you
404.04
managed to do one pull-up with the red
406.83
band without any extra weight you decide
410.67
you're going to give the next one a go
412.71
and you pay some extra kilo onto your
415.74
bodyweight you try the red band and
418.44
you're unable to do it that is where
421.14
your 1rm is going to sit so the red band
424.83
the one that you completed the one that
427.41
you were able to do that is your current
430.35
ability level on this scale so now we
434.01
have our 1 RM we can now place ourselves
436.74
onto the scale and we know where we are
440.34
using the example we are able to do the
443.85
red band and a single rep with the red
447.39
band that means our 1 RM is sitting at
450.24
51 kilos now we've found where our
453.63
current level lies we can now start to
457.53
have a look at our goals and we're going
459.87
to have a look at how we're going to
461.94
create our program around our current
465.03
ability level and how to progress up
467.55
from there
476.43

well done for getting through all of the

2
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,000
beginner intermediate and advanced

3
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000
options in the series now we're going to

4
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
have a look at the actual programming

5
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
behind your training session how your

6
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
training session is going to be

7
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,000
structured how many sets how many reps

8
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:19,000
what you're actually looking at doing

9
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,000
when you go out to train this episode

10
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:23,000
we're going to have a look at actually

11
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
finding your ability level and placing

12
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
it on a scale that you're going to draw

13
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:31,000
out and record down so now we're going

14
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
to create our scale and we're going to

15
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:37,000
place ourselves on to it to begin with

16
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
we're going to take our current body

17
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000
weight and place that into the middle of

18
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
the scale now for me that is 65

19
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,000
kilograms so I'm going to place that

20
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000
with a line in the middle now we've done

21
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
that we are going to start looking at

22
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:57,000
the red blue and green bands start with

23
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
we'll look at the red band because that

24
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:04,000
one is going to give us the smallest

25
00:00:60,000 --> 00:01:07,000
decrease from our body weight so if we

26
00:00:64,000 --> 00:01:10,000
move down to the red we know actually

27
00:00:68,000 --> 00:01:14,000
from the manufacturers website that

28
00:00:70,000 --> 00:01:16,000
we're gonna take 14 kilograms off of our

29
00:00:74,000 --> 00:01:18,000
body weight this is gonna be a rough

30
00:00:76,000 --> 00:01:20,000
estimate it is not going to be very

31
00:00:79,000 --> 00:01:25,000
accurate because depending on the height

32
00:00:81,000 --> 00:01:26,000
of the person and how taut the elastic

33
00:00:85,000 --> 00:01:29,000
band is going to be means that it's

34
00:00:87,000 --> 00:01:31,000
going to be pulling at different amounts

35
00:00:89,000 --> 00:01:33,000
but for now we're just looking at the

36
00:00:92,000 --> 00:01:37,000
manufacturer website and we're gonna

37
00:00:93,000 --> 00:01:40,000
take the 14 kilos for our scale next

38
00:00:97,000 --> 00:01:44,000
will be the blue band that will actually

39
00:00:101,000 --> 00:01:47,000
take 23 kilos off and leave us with 42

40
00:00:105,000 --> 00:01:50,000
kilograms and what this means is when

41
00:00:107,000 --> 00:01:53,000
I'm doing a normal body weight pull up

42
00:00:110,000 --> 00:01:56,000
I'm actually pulling 65 kilograms up

43
00:00:114,000 --> 00:01:60,000
from the ground and just with my arms if

44
00:00:117,000 --> 00:01:61,000
I use the red band I'm pulling 51 kilos

45
00:00:120,000 --> 00:01:66,000
and if I'm using the blue band I am

46
00:00:122,000 --> 00:01:69,000
pulling 42 kilos with my arms

47
00:00:126,000 --> 00:01:72,000
lastly with the green band we are gonna

48
00:00:129,000 --> 00:01:73,000
be actually taking 30 kilograms off so

49
00:00:132,000 --> 00:01:75,000
it means that

50
00:00:133,000 --> 00:01:78,000
you're gonna be pulling 35 kilograms off

51
00:00:136,000 --> 00:01:82,000
of the ground just with your arms with

52
00:00:139,000 --> 00:01:86,000
this pull-up now we have the downward

53
00:00:143,000 --> 00:01:88,000
scale let's have a look above the 65

54
00:00:146,000 --> 00:01:91,000
kilos so for this we know that we could

55
00:00:148,000 --> 00:01:93,000
add weight by just simply placing the

56
00:00:151,000 --> 00:01:97,000
weight belt onto us with varying amounts

57
00:00:154,000 --> 00:01:99,000
of weight plates and we know that we can

58
00:00:157,000 --> 00:01:103,000
put as much or as little weight as we

59
00:00:160,000 --> 00:01:109,000
like on so I'm just going to add a 10

60
00:00:164,000 --> 00:01:111,000
kilo increment for 65 to 75 and then

61
00:00:169,000 --> 00:01:114,000
we're going to go up again to 85 and

62
00:00:171,000 --> 00:01:117,000
then finally 95 obviously this can be as

63
00:00:175,000 --> 00:01:121,000
small as you like or as big as you like

64
00:00:177,000 --> 00:01:123,000
the scale is absolutely as much or as

65
00:00:181,000 --> 00:01:126,000
little as you like it to be after

66
00:00:184,000 --> 00:01:129,000
creating the scale now you have to place

67
00:00:186,000 --> 00:01:131,000
yourself onto it now to do that we are

68
00:00:189,000 --> 00:01:133,000
actually going to spend a whole session

69
00:00:192,000 --> 00:01:138,000
just figuring out what are one

70
00:00:194,000 --> 00:01:142,000
repetition maximum is going to be so we

71
00:00:198,000 --> 00:01:147,000
call this a 1 RM so the 1 RM is a way of

72
00:00:203,000 --> 00:01:149,000
checking what our raw strength is and it

73
00:00:207,000 --> 00:01:153,000
means that we're going to look at what

74
00:00:209,000 --> 00:01:155,000
could we only do once on the bar so how

75
00:00:213,000 --> 00:01:158,000
what weight could we use that means that

76
00:00:216,000 --> 00:01:161,000
we would only be able to do one of those

77
00:00:219,000 --> 00:01:164,000
repetitions if you feel that you could

78
00:00:221,000 --> 00:01:165,000
do doubles or triples it means it's too

79
00:00:224,000 --> 00:01:169,000
light and we really want to find out

80
00:00:226,000 --> 00:01:171,000
what that single one is so when you

81
00:00:229,000 --> 00:01:173,000
start you're going to start very very

82
00:00:232,000 --> 00:01:177,000
light you have to be completely honest

83
00:00:234,000 --> 00:01:178,000
with yourself as a student or if you're

84
00:00:237,000 --> 00:01:181,000
the coach you really want to have a look

85
00:00:239,000 --> 00:01:184,000
at starting with something that you know

86
00:00:242,000 --> 00:01:188,000
is going to be very very easy so let's

87
00:00:245,000 --> 00:01:192,000
start with the green band here now

88
00:00:248,000 --> 00:01:195,000
we know that using the scale we're gonna

89
00:00:252,000 --> 00:01:198,000
weigh 35 kilos so it means that our

90
00:00:256,000 --> 00:01:200,000
first check of being able to do a single

91
00:00:259,000 --> 00:01:203,000
repetition with the green if we can

92
00:00:261,000 --> 00:01:206,000
complete it we know that we're starting

93
00:00:264,000 --> 00:01:207,000
at the scale of 35 kilos and that we can

94
00:00:266,000 --> 00:01:209,000
do that

95
00:00:267,000 --> 00:01:214,000
okay so again I'm going to use the band

96
00:00:270,000 --> 00:01:217,000
here I'm going to hang pull up and out

97
00:00:274,000 --> 00:01:220,000
now because I've completed that I know

98
00:00:278,000 --> 00:01:224,000
that we're starting at 35 kilos and we

99
00:00:281,000 --> 00:01:226,000
can move up to a nut the next way up and

100
00:00:284,000 --> 00:01:229,000
we're going to have a go up to doing

101
00:00:286,000 --> 00:01:231,000
that and trying again we're now going to

102
00:00:289,000 --> 00:01:233,000
move up the scale we're going to try to

103
00:00:292,000 --> 00:01:236,000
get far up the scale as we can and

104
00:00:294,000 --> 00:01:239,000
you're going to do that in very small

105
00:00:297,000 --> 00:01:241,000
increments now to begin with you might

106
00:00:300,000 --> 00:01:246,000
find that with your strength ability

107
00:00:302,000 --> 00:01:248,000
actually the green is very very easy is

108
00:00:306,000 --> 00:01:250,000
way too easy so you know that if you

109
00:00:308,000 --> 00:01:252,000
were to go to the blue that would be

110
00:00:310,000 --> 00:01:254,000
fairly easy as well just go straight to

111
00:00:312,000 --> 00:01:258,000
the blue give that one a go as well as

112
00:00:315,000 --> 00:01:262,000
you get closer to what you are

113
00:00:319,000 --> 00:01:265,000
potentially being able to your 1rm so

114
00:00:322,000 --> 00:01:268,000
let's say that after the blue band here

115
00:00:326,000 --> 00:01:271,000
we are starting to struggle we're still

116
00:00:329,000 --> 00:01:273,000
able to do those singles but we know

117
00:00:331,000 --> 00:01:275,000
that the work is starting to get a

118
00:00:333,000 --> 00:01:278,000
little bit harder we want to make those

119
00:00:335,000 --> 00:01:280,000
increments smaller so we start with the

120
00:00:338,000 --> 00:01:282,000
blue there and we can actually use the

121
00:00:341,000 --> 00:01:285,000
weight belt to place a little bit more

122
00:00:343,000 --> 00:01:287,000
weight on us to make us a little bit

123
00:00:345,000 --> 00:01:290,000
heavier so the difference between the

124
00:00:347,000 --> 00:01:293,000
blue and the red has now replaced a

125
00:00:350,000 --> 00:01:296,000
middle ground in between the two so as

126
00:00:353,000 --> 00:01:298,000
we start adding more weight to ourselves

127
00:00:356,000 --> 00:01:301,000
and using the blue band it means we're

128
00:00:359,000 --> 00:01:302,000
getting closer and closer to that red

129
00:00:361,000 --> 00:01:306,000
band okay

130
00:00:363,000 --> 00:01:309,000
so we're using the blue going towards

131
00:00:367,000 --> 00:01:312,000
the red and you just keep adding weight

132
00:00:369,000 --> 00:01:315,000
and you want to look at usually around 1

133
00:00:372,000 --> 00:01:317,000
kilo as an increment so as you start

134
00:00:375,000 --> 00:01:320,000
getting very close to your 1rm you only

135
00:00:378,000 --> 00:01:323,000
want to be putting very small amounts of

136
00:00:380,000 --> 00:01:325,000
weight as increments as you get closer

137
00:00:383,000 --> 00:01:328,000
to it so we've been using the blue band

138
00:00:385,000 --> 00:01:330,000
we've gone from the green up to the blue

139
00:00:388,000 --> 00:01:333,000
and now we're slowly moving towards the

140
00:00:390,000 --> 00:01:336,000
red let's say you're using the weight

141
00:00:394,000 --> 00:01:340,000
belt to go up in one kilogram increments

142
00:00:397,000 --> 00:01:343,000
up until you get up to that red

143
00:00:400,000 --> 00:01:346,000
and value you get to the red band you

144
00:00:404,000 --> 00:01:350,000
managed to do one pull-up with the red

145
00:00:406,000 --> 00:01:351,000
band without any extra weight you decide

146
00:00:410,000 --> 00:01:355,000
you're going to give the next one a go

147
00:00:412,000 --> 00:01:357,000
and you pay some extra kilo onto your

148
00:00:415,000 --> 00:01:360,000
bodyweight you try the red band and

149
00:00:418,000 --> 00:01:364,000
you're unable to do it that is where

150
00:00:421,000 --> 00:01:367,000
your 1rm is going to sit so the red band

151
00:00:424,000 --> 00:01:369,000
the one that you completed the one that

152
00:00:427,000 --> 00:01:373,000
you were able to do that is your current

153
00:00:430,000 --> 00:01:376,000
ability level on this scale so now we

154
00:00:434,000 --> 00:01:380,000
have our 1 RM we can now place ourselves

155
00:00:436,000 --> 00:01:383,000
onto the scale and we know where we are

156
00:00:440,000 --> 00:01:387,000
using the example we are able to do the

157
00:00:443,000 --> 00:01:389,000
red band and a single rep with the red

158
00:00:447,000 --> 00:01:393,000
band that means our 1 RM is sitting at

159
00:00:450,000 --> 00:01:397,000
51 kilos now we've found where our

160
00:00:453,000 --> 00:01:399,000
current level lies we can now start to

161
00:00:457,000 --> 00:01:401,000
have a look at our goals and we're going

162
00:00:459,000 --> 00:01:404,000
to have a look at how we're going to

163
00:00:461,000 --> 00:01:406,000
create our program around our current

164
00:00:465,000 --> 00:01:410,000
ability level and how to progress up

165
00:00:467,000 --> 00:01:410,000
from there

166
00:00:476,000 --> 00:01:418,000
you
