SMARTWORKOUT ELITE, THE PRODUCT
- What is the difference between SmartWorkout Elite and others resistance bands set?
- What types of exercises can I do with the SmartWorkout Elite set?
- What is included in SmartWorkout Elite?
- Can I buy only the bar?
SmartWorkout Elite has been designed to last over time. Gain muscles and strength is possible with SmartWorkout Elite only, no need of extra accessories. We wanted to design and offer a real gym equipment, not an interim accessory that will do the job for few weeks only and break after.
SmartWorkout Elite’s 5 differences are:
1. Total resistance: up to 160 kg. SmartWorkout Elite comes with 120 kg of resistance but 45 kg add on are available if you want to push your limits further.
2. Our resistance bands are made of natural latex, versus TPE plastic for standard resistance bands sets. The natural latex, more expensive, is needed to manufacture high quality resistance bands with good elasticity, strong resistance and longer lifetime.
3. Our musculation bar, which is included in SmartWorkout Elite.
4. Our anti-snap mechanism, designed for the workout bar.
5. Our reinforced accessories (handles, ankle straps and door anchor).
In addition, SmartWorkout Elite includes a 3 workout plan and a 5-year warranty.
Our warehouse is located in France, allowing us to propose fast and free delivery.
You can find more information on our product page.
There is no limit and you can complete an infinity of exercises using our bar, handles and ankle straps.
However, we advise to focus on compound exercises such as Chest Press, Deadlift, Squat as these exercises are an excellent way to get your entire body physically fit and fully functional.
- 7 resistance bands made of natural latex, stackable up to 120 kg.
- 1 bar made of iron with built-in attachment for resistance bands, a must-have accessory to build muscles and train with heavy loads with resistance bands.
- 2 non-slip and anti-sweat handles for isolation exercises.
- 2 neoprene padded ankle straps, very useful for legs & buttock isolation exercises.
- 1 heavy anchor door to replicate a real pulley at home, easy and quick to install.
- 4 unbreakable steel carabiners, including 2 screw-lock carabiners.
- 1 compact bag to store your equipment.
- 3 exclusive workout programs to train with the SmartWorkout Elite equipment, accessible from your digital space.
Yes, you can buy the bar alone here: https://en.smartworkout-pro.com/products/smartworkout-bar
WORKOUT WITH RESISTANCE BANDS
- What is the difference between variable resistance and free weights training?
- Can I really build muscle with resistance bands?
- Why do I only need 20 minutes per session to have results?
The main difference comes from the resistance, which is constant for free weights and variable for bands.
For example, if you do a bicep curl with 50 kg dumbbells, the resistance is 50 kg when you start the exercise and 50 kg when you finish the exercise. It is constant. It does not vary.
SmartWorkout uses variable resistance training, which effectively lowers the resistance during the weakest range of the lift and increases it during the stronger portion. As a result, you put less stress on your joints where you are weaker and more stress at points in the range of motion where you are stronger.
Both types of resistance are different and will stress your muscles differently, but all in all, bands are as efficient as free weights to build muscles, as long as the right equipment is used.
Of course you can, thanks to the variable resistance.
A lot of scientific studies have demonstrated that, the real characteristic of elastics – variable resistance – allows to request enough your muscle to become stronger.
The first advantage of variable resistance is to fit perfectly to the human movement. It lowers the resistance during the weakest range of the lift and increases it during the stronger portion, allowing you to overload your muscles, not your joints, and to take your muscles to a much deeper level of fatigue since you are training with all ranges of motion.
However, you need the right equipment to benefit from the variable resistance, with heavy loading available to build muscles and an optimal grip. That’s what we wanted to provide with SmartWorkout Elite.
Of course, the diet remains as essential as it is with free weights in order to have good results !
20 minutes of workout per day is enough to have results thanks to muscle failure training.
Each session of our workout-plan is composed by 5 exercises, with only one set per exercise until muscle failure, versus 4 or 5 sets for classing training session, allowing you to save a lot of time.
Training to failure is repeating an exercise to the point of momentary muscular failure, i.e. the point where the neuromuscular system can no longer produce adequate force to overcome a specific workload.
Muscle failure training matches perfectly with resistance bands as the resistance is variable: the resistance is low at the beginning of the movement - when your muscle is weak – and it increases notably at the end of the movement – when your muscle is strong. In one set only, you can take your muscles to a deeper level of fatigue.
Is 1 set training to failure more efficient than several sets of 10 reps?
Studies do not demonstrate that one way of training is better, but with the first, you can save a lot of time thanks to short but intense sessions.
