- Duh duh duh duh duh,
- Duh duh.
- Wow.
- Hi folks, I'm Bob Schrupp, physical therapist.
- Brad Heineck, physical therapist.
- We are the most famous physical therapists
on the internet.
- And I'll repeat it, of course, Bob.
- Today we're gonna do what is called
the best swank workout for lats, triceps, and biceps
at home, no weights.
You do need some equipment.
We'll talk about that in a minute,
but by the way, if you're new to our channel,
- Ah, yes.
- Please take a second to subscribe to us.
We provide videos on staying healthy, fit, pain-free,
and we upload day-to-day.
Also, we're joined by Alex here today.
This is the husband of our film,
what are you, a videographer?
Is that what we call her?
The woman that takes our video.
- Right.
She's a strong point to the group.
- And they have quite a cool channel where they do
the Family Product Channel.
We can do competing signs here.
Why don't you put your sign below.
So they've got the Family Product Channel,
they've got Instagram, they've got Facebook.
Of course, we give away something.
We're always giving away something.
Right now, if you go to bobandbrad.com,
go to the giveaway section,
we're giving away a Thermotex.
What are you guys giving away?
- My time. Are you paying me for this?
- Thermotex infrared heating system.
So I'm sure someday you guys'll give something away, right?
- Someday. Someday we'll be there.
- So go to Facebook, and it's pinned to the top of the page
of our website.
Enough of the commercial, Brad's gonna show us now,
an interesting way to-
- This exercise is, I just started,
as you know, the only thing I do for resistance training
is work with the bands because I don't want to have weights
and I don't want to buy extra dumbbells,
and I'd be at the 100-pound dumbbell now
and I don't want to have all this weight around my house.
I want to have-
- (chuckles) Your 100-pound dumbbell.
- Well whatever, you know.
This is really nice.
- And if it's good enough for Tom Brady,
I think it should be good enough for you.
And this is the type of resistance training he does.
- Yup, you can't go wrong with it, for sure.
So the biggest problem that I've had over the years
is how do you strengthen your lats and your triceps,
this goes with weights or not.
Unless you have a pulley system with weights,
that seems to work pretty good for those lat pulls.
- Or a pull-up bar.
You know, major equipment in your house.
- Right, and I don't like to do pull-ups anyways.
So this came about over the last few months.
This new, cool system, and you get to do it
in the comfort of your own house laying down.
- Yeah, what's nice about these,
all three exercises are laying down.
You do need a wall anchor, and that's what we have here.
Go to our website, we actually have a deal there
where we're selling four of them in a packet.
Normally you only get three if you go to Amazon,
but you get four.
We'll put a link down below, but it's really cool
because you can hook up bands to it.
You can hook up multiple bands to it,
you can hook up one band,
and they're easy to take off.
So you guys can go ahead and show the exercise now.
- All right, now Alex is gonna do his.
He's got multiple bands on his
because he's strong like bull.
I'm working on it.
(Bob laughs)
So that gives him more resistance.
You can get, I've got up to four bands
on one of mine at home in the anchor.
- [Bob] You did not. (laughs)
- I did too.
I'll take a picture of it.
And here we go.
- [Bob] Like that's proof because you took a picture of it.
- All right, so I'm ready to go.
I'm gonna do mine from the ankle level.
Alex, you can do it from a higher level like that.
It works just a little bit different muscle fibers,
and its kind of a choice.
Now we're going to work the lats first.
Now I'm gonna actually do mine in the,
out this way with the adduction plane, if you will,
like that.
Alex is going to work his going down as he's showing there.
Now this, you know, you have perfect posture
because you're laying on the floor
and you really isolate those muscles.
And what I, you know,
it might be a little bit of a lazy man's thing,
but when I get done with my set of 10,
because I do three sets of 10,
then I like to lay here and rest for about 60-90 seconds
before I do my next set.
How you doing, Alex?
- I'm feeling the resistance, Brad.
- [Bob] Now you can also do a set of abs in between too
if you're really ambitious.
- I do my abs like this.
I hold it here,
- [Bob] Oh, sure.
- And I use the resistance.
- [Bob] We'll have to have that for another video.
Look at that.
- Oh yeah, I've got that planned, Bob.
So one nice thing about the bands is that
if you want more resistance, if it's too easy,
you can either add bands like Alex did,
or you can simply slide your body away from the wall
and you increase your resistance
as you can tell by the sound of my voice.
So again, I like to do three sets of 10.
If you wanna build more muscle mass,
you put more weight on, more resistance,
and you go down to about eight, from the studies I've read,
three sets of eight.
When you start getting lower than that, you almost-
- [Bob] Again, this is a very difficult exercise
to do at home unless you have some type of equipment
and this is very non-obtrusive equipment.
Unobtrusive. - Now the next one I wanna do
is the triceps.
You know, triceps, you've got the skull crushers
with the barbell.
You've got the single barbell, and a number of other things,
but this really works nice.
This isolates so well, I think this works better
than anything I've ever done.
I just bring my elbows to the floor
and simply work the triceps.
- [Bob] Now I can see everything's stabilized,
his head, his shoulders, his back,
and even the upper arm, so this is a great way
if you really want to focus right on the triceps
and not bring in any other muscles.
- I swear, this is the best way to isolate triceps.
I mean, the rest of my body is quite relaxed
except for those triceps are burning.
I gotta take a break for a second.
- [Bob] So how did you come up with "swank?"
- These are swank. - [Bob] Like swanky?
- This is cool.
It's the only term, it just came to my head.
I thought, well maybe it's not right,
so you know what I did?
I Googled it, and to make sure the term was proper
I went to Wikipedia, all of the big sites, you know.
Sure enough, "swank" is the term.
- Swank will give you swass.
You guys know what swass is?
- This is a family show.
- [Bob] That's right.
- Hey, hey, hey!
- [Bob] (laughs) Talk like that way on your channel,
not ours.
- So you've got your lats, you've got your triceps,
nice to get the biceps.
There's a lot of easy ways to do biceps,
but we might as well do it laying down.
So we're gonna just turn around
and, doo doo doo doo doo,
- [Bob] So I gotta ask, is swass okay?
I mean, what does it mean?
- Sweat in your ...
- [Bob] See, it is bad!
- Ay, sorry Bob.
That's what came to mind.
We're being honest here, aren't we?
- So biceps, this just happens to work out nice,
like I said, it's not challenging to isolate a bicep,
but this way you can do them laying down.
You can do them from different angles
and different resistances so easy.
So now that you're down there, you might as well
just turn around and get your biceps burning.
Wow, this is nice.
Are your biceps--
- This is a good workout.
- Look at the size of those biceps.
When you're younger,
you can get bigger muscles faster I think.
(laughs)
- [Bob] Got that testosterone going.
- And then the neat thing about this is,
just go like this, Alex.
Go to here, and when you want to sit up,
the band pulls you up.
- [Bob] There we go.
- Kind of fun, isn't it?
- That is pretty sweet, Brad.
- So very good.
Once again, we've got another option for those lats
and triceps, biceps.
- Looks great, really I think,
Brad, I really have to applaud you.
You came up with a nice job. - It is swanky.
- It is swanky.
- So very good.
Get yourselves some anchors and some bands
you know, if you want to stay away from steel,
and you'll still get strong like bull very efficiently.
- And you get swanky.
- I'm feeling pumped.
I gotta go take a selfie.
- All right.
- Just kidding, Brad.
- Why?
Why, Alex?
- Sorry.
