Hello Dave,

I am sending you a quick “hello” via email because I no longer am on Facebook. I also wanted to say thanks. You’ve given me hope and something to work towards in these uncertain times.

I’m in my 50s. Going to the gym six days a week was something I loved and looked forward to even when it was a grind. Progressive overloads and hitting new PRs gave me a sense of pride and progress. Then the quarantine lockdown happened. It became clear to me that my gym days would be over for the foreseeable future.

My home setup is limited. I have a couple of kettlebells, a bench, two 30 lb dumbells, a TRX, and a couple of light bands. There isn’t an adjustable dumbbell to be had on this planet.

I tried all the body weight exercises the internet “gurus” were talking about. But getting true progressive overload using body weight or a TRX is difficult at best. I was also getting sore and pulling muscles. I hurt too much to go near the TRX. So I picked up one of my light bands in order to do something… anything at all.

Then I found one of your videos on YouTube. Now I know that progressive overload is very doable with bands. I’m excited about the new challenge and have already started using the few bands I have. The two bands I ordered from you should be a big help.

I know it’s a long email. In these times, I think it’s important to let people who make a difference know it.

Many Thanks,

Michael
