Dopa Deck Of Cards Training 2026

 Man, can't get enough of these workouts with the Dopa Bands. The last couple days, I switched from circuits that I've been doing to doing it with the Deck Of Cards. Saturday, I just did one deck that was 500 total reps, yesterday was doing the deck twice in a row totaling 1000. 

The energy, the sweat and the only rest is flipping a card and getting back into position. These workouts are great cause it's never the same one twice and you can change up the exercises however you like. I usually keep it to Pushing, Pulling, Squatting, Jumping & Core Work. You never know what you'll come up with. Since I'm a collector of decks of cards, I don't always need to use the same deck. One day, I can do a deck with Pirates on it, Back To The Future, Marvel, DC or Animals. Endless combinations 

A key point in doing the Deck twice in a row for me is to instead of doubling the number for each card and doing a deck once, do a complete deck and then reverse it. So if the Jokers are more towards the end, when it's reversed, they start practically at the beginning but that's only if you shuffled them that way otherwise, things can get very interesting. I don't time myself doing this so my thing is to just keep going without much rest at all instead of focusing on the clock. 

It's a whole other realm of physical and mental conditioning. It teaches you how to be prepared for the unexpected and that just when you think it starts to get easy, a joker or some other card may pop up and you'll have to work your reps hard and do quite a few of them. The pacing isn't the same either, you can go pretty fast for a bit but then those higher reps may slow you down a bit. Jokers in this case are 50 reps of the Propeller Exercise so if you get those towards the beginning (for the 500 total), you can do pretty well with the rest of the deck but if they're towards the end and you're doing the deck twice, it's going to test you with a vengeance. I do my best to keep a good clip going and since I have the Chosen Higher Band, the speed is a lot higher compare to the Black Band which is meant for heavier guys so the resistance will have a much greater difference in how you work a deck. 

Conditioning is a person's greatest asset and decks of cards workouts are a top of the line test for that. You'll sweat and you'll feel fatigued but it's a test of wills to push through. This is also where your breathwork comes into play cause if you can work your breathing doing stuff like this, it'll give you hints on how much stronger your lungs can get. Your breath can determine whether you start to wear down or not so learn to control your breathing just like in a wrestling match, a fight or whatever sport you play. Whether you're a student of the mat, a warrior on the gridiron or a strategic player on the diamond, conditioning will be the ultimate assurance. This is why having Bands like these are powerful cause they're not just things that stretch, they help you with technique and can be added to any routine. 

Temporary strength is a good thing to have when it's needed but too many rely too much on how they can lift instead of how long they can last. Long term strength is more suited to certain things because even when you're tired, you can still have strength left in the tank to do some amazing things. Having both however, is a deadly combo because when you have the ability to call upon your strength whether it's a few seconds or several minutes, it tells you what kind of athlete you are. As General Patton has said, "Fatigue, makes cowards of us all" it is important to be in the best condition regardless of age and to be able to have reserves that could be life saving whether your own or to help someone else. 

I highly recommend you grab a band and make use of it whether on its own or as part of your current program, doesn't matter if its weights, bodyweight, sports or just weekly fitness sessions. You don't even have to pay full price for them when you can use my Discount Code POWERANDMIGHT to shave off a few bucks. Unlike other bands, these won't snap as quickly, matter of fact even Goku or Vegeta may have trouble snapping these fuckers and those fighters are freakishly strong. My black band, I've had for years, put through some hardcore workouts and not one scratch or tear in it. They're pretty damn close to being indestructible. The Chosen Higher Band, I've already done thousands of reps with it already and still going strong. When you get one, let me know how I can help and tell me your feedback with it, I want to know your progress and how you do them. 

Be amazingly awesome and keep killing it.   

FYI...The Black Band is on Pre-Order at the moment due to the popularity and being out of stock. It will be available again next month so if you wish to pre-order it now, go for it, my discount will still apply to the order. If you rather wait until it's available again, there's nothing wrong with that either. Believe me, this is far better than those who put products on Pre-Order that go on for YEARS and never coming around and just swindle you out of your money. I feel sorry for those people who have to wait for something that will never show up. Nobody deserves that. Don't waste your time and hard earned money on people like that. This company is way more professional, honest and will help you in any way they can. You deserve the BEST!!!

Why Conditioning Should Be A Top Fitness Priority – And Why I Believe In It

How's it going everyone? Something has been burning in my brain as of late. We live in a wild world of fitness where everyone's chasing the next big lift or that shredded six-pack, we've got it all backwards sometimes. Strength is and always will be royalty in the quest for longevity for sure, but without conditioning, you're just a castle built on sand, waiting for the tide to wash it away. Today, I would love to dig deep into why conditioning training needs to be one of the top absolute priorities in fitness. Not some side dish – the main course. And I'll share how I've made it happen for me, because let's face it, talking the talk without walking the walk is bullshit.

First off, what the hell do I even mean by "conditioning"? I'm not talking about some off the wall cardio class where you're prancing around like a gazelle on caffeine, it's great if that works for you. However; conditioning is that beast mode endurance – the kind that builds your engine so you can go harder, longer, and recover like a fucking superhero. Think high-rep total circuits, explosive band work, hill sprints that make your lungs scream, or even those grueling bodyweight sessions that leave you in a puddle of sweat. It's the stamina that turns a one-set wonder into a multi-round warrior. Conditioning isn't just "cardio"; it's the foundation that lets your strength shine without crumbling under pressure.

Why prioritize it? Let's break this down, because number one: longevity. I'm in my 40s now, and I've seen too many guys my age blow out knees, tweak backs, or just quit because their bodies couldn't handle the load. Conditioning builds that resilience. It's like prehab on steroids – improving joint mobility, firing up those fast-twitch fibers for explosiveness, and torching calories without the joint-pounding punishment of endless heavy lifts, lifting has its perks especially with Sandbags but that's not the name of the game here. Take my obsession with Dopamineo bands (shoutout to those indestructible beasts – if you haven't grabbed one, what are you waiting for?). I hammer out 500-rep circuits daily, sometimes 1000, mixing pulls, pushes, and rotational stuff like the Propeller exercise. That shit doesn't just build muscle; it conditions your heart, lungs, and connective tissues to handle whatever life throws at you. No more feeling like a zombie after a workout – you're electrified, ready for round two or three.

Here's a take on performance. If you're an athlete, weekend warrior, or just someone who wants to dominate pickup basketball without wheezing or giving out within minutes, conditioning is your secret weapon. Remember Henry Cejudo? That UFC champ used resistance bands for his conditioning, turning him into a machine that could wrestle, strike, and outlast many of his opponents? I've channeled that vibe in my own training. Those 20 Rounds with the Chosen Higher Band have been brutal. By the end, I'd cranked out 1,000 reps of blissful hell, feeling like Goku powering up like a Super Saiyan. My explosiveness went through the roof, and recovery? Flawless victory, Mortal Kombat style. Without prioritizing conditioning, that strength plateaus. You hit that wall where reps feel like molasses, and gains stall. But flip it – make conditioning the priority – and suddenly your lifts improve because your body's efficient at using oxygen, clearing lactate, and staying in the fight.

Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying ditch the weights entirely. Hell no. Strength and conditioning go hand-in-hand like peanut butter and jelly. But if you're building a pyramid, conditioning is the base. Too many programs out there glorify the "no pain, no gain" bullshit, pushing extremes that lead to burnout or injury.

How do you make it a priority? Start simple, but commit like your life depends on it – because in a way, it does. Assess your current state. If a 10-minute circuit kicks your ass, that's your baseline. Build from there. Little by little down to the smallest fraction of progress still leads to the big picture. Even bodyweight circuits are fantastic because you can do them anywhere. Do them on your off days from the gym. I'll be going 2x a week to play around with the weights and then work on the other stuff the rest of the time. Do what works for you. If you're looking for some fun bodyweight workouts, check out Darebee.com. Thousands of workouts for FREE!!!

Here's a kicker: making conditioning a priority isn't just physical; it's mental. In a world full of distractions – social media, endless scrolling – fitness is your anchor. Prioritizing conditioning builds discipline, that instinctive drive to push when you want to quit. It's like speaking a second language of grit. I've seen it in the Dopamineo Community: folks using the dopa bands for family workouts, kids building explosiveness for sports, elders staying mobile. It's inclusive, not elitist. Unlike some bro-science out there, this isn't about destroying yourself; it's about evolving. Be passionate about it – let that fire burn, add gasoline if needed. The rewards? Endless. You'll move better, live longer, and crush goals you didn't know you had.

Wrapping this up, because I could go on for days: if you're serious about fitness, make conditioning your priority. It's your greatest asset – the engine that powers everything else. Start today: grab those bands, hit a circuit, feel the burn (be sure to lock in my code POWERANDMIGHT to get a few bucks off your order). You'll thank me later when you're killing it at levels you never imagined. Be amazingly awesome, keep evolving, and remember, train smart, train hard, and let's dominate.

Going Green Kicked My Ass

On Saturday, the Chosen Higher Dopamineo Band came and the moment, I opened it, I was ready to head down for a workout with it. Quite the experience if I say so myself. This band specifically (resistance wise) is much lighter than the Black one I have. This is Dopa's One Size Fits All band where just about anyone can work with, even little kids would get a kick out of this thing. It can be used in so many ways whether you're a beginner just getting into it and learning techniques, to advanced specimens that use it for explosiveness, conditioning and speed. 

I did a circuit like usual of 5 exercises, 10 reps each but did 20 Rounds instead of the normal 10. I wanted to work on my speed and quickness. Had to stretch it a bit to get a feel for it but once I got going, holy shit it felt like sprinting. I was cruising through that workout and like always, rested only to mark off a circuit and kept going. I was breathing hard and it felt incredible. I was moving at a much more rapid rate and exploding on some of the exercises that it seemed powerful. 

The workout was 1000 Total Reps. At about round 15-16, I was starting to slow it down a bit cause I was already getting exhausted from how fast I was going. Those last few rounds weren't so slow I looked like a turtle but it was a vast difference than going Sonic The Hedgehog on that thing. I even had to readjust the band at times cause of my sweat, my hands would slide but it wasn't too bad, never let up. This fucker was no joke and to move at the pace I did, I was shocked I could still walk out of there without looking like the Walking Dead. 

It kicked my ass that's for sure and that shower afterwards was the best feeling ever. Having it being green is awesome cause it's my favorite color and it look lit up when you're training with it. Never underestimate the power of resistance bands. It's a great add on to your routine or can be done by itself like I do with it or even a finisher. Play around with it and see what it can do for you. If you're into weights going to the gym or have a home gym, you can do a band workout as a warm up for your current routine, you can do it between sets of your push-ups and squats or other bodyweight exercises, superset it with pull-ups and chin-ups, do sprints, lunges, take it out to the park or in the woods while you camp to keep yourself mobile and energized from Chopping Firewood, pre or post practice sessions in MMA or Wrestling and so much more. 

It's a great tool to have in your arsenal and it's great for kids to get that excess energy out. They can use it as resistance for their youth practice, doing animal crawls, jump, skip, whatever gets them going. Kids deserve to be healthy and this is a great tool to help them get there. Got a band for you, your son/daughter and wife, it's a workout for the whole family and get to bond together building strength and positive minds. Great for youth programs to get ready for any sport and not to mention with the type of training you can do, it builds up a hell of an appetite from burning calories like a furnace.

I'll never get over how awesome these bands are and those that do them are some of the best in the world, so it's worth something right? Get a glimpse of this band below and see if you're interested in getting one. Being able to do this stuff in my 40's is helping me stay in shape for the long haul and remember, conditioning is your greatest asset. Be amazingly awesome and keep killing it guys.

15000 Reps With The Dopa Band

Well, the first month of 2026 is close to an end. This past month has been a great part of my journey especially with my Dopa Band Training. Every single day so far, I have done 500 Total reps of my Band Circuits. Some days I change up the exercises or work on ones I know and I love to do but also been giving new ones a go. Some of them work well, others are more for those who have better experience than me. 15000 Reps has been done with this thing and I'm just itching to do more of it.

No matter what whether I was in the gym or not, I made the time to do a circuit a part of my daily training. Even did one as a finisher after a gym session. That was brutal and really tested my conditioning. Quite honestly, I don't know why I'm not sore from that. With the new addition of the Chosen Higher Green Band (which I've had my eye on for weeks), it's going to be a crazy ride to keep at it with this style of training. Think my first workout with it will be either a circuit totaling 1000 Reps or do a Full Deck Of Cards twice in a row with it which is also 1000 rep total. I'll have to flip a coin on that one. Yes I' am that crazy. There is no third option LOL.

Seeing great athletes use it keeps inspiring me and seeing folks in their 50's and 60's use it to keep themselves healthy and in shape is incredible. These bands have made led many wrestlers to medal in both the Olympics & World Championships. One of the best wrestlers that also went into MMA, Henry Cejudo credits Dopamineo Training as a go to for enhancing his conditioning and technique. You can hear the man himself HERE!!! Seriously, this dude won Gold in the 2008 Olympics, 2x gold and 1 Silver winner in the U.S National Championships, 3x Pan American Champion, UFC Bantamweight & Flyweight Champion and won his first 10 Fights in MMA in a row. That's a Hall Of Fame career man. 

It feels great to be a part of this community. I ordered the Green Band along with their anchor strap from one of their champions, a BJJ prodigy named Helena Craver who has been named the #1 No Gi Women's Grappler pound for pound by FloGrappling. If you ever find some of her videos on her training, you're going to find a lot of them have a dopa band in her possession. I wanted to support her journey in Grappling because at her age, she's already reached levels most women don't in their whole career. She's only 19 years old and and has potential that may even hit Ronda Rousey status, who knows where this kid will go but I'm proud to have at least contributed something that will help her along the way. 

When you add your current routine or even do it in and of itself on days off from your regular training with the band, there's going to be some killer benefits that will be in your corner; Stamina, Mobility, Conditioning, Flexibility, Technique Building, Coordination Skills, Explosiveness, Recovery and more. It can be used for rehab or prehab, a warm up or a finisher, you can go slow or fast if you want and it's virtually indestructible. It's like the name it was given, DopamineO with the O being "Oh shit, that was great".  Build new skills, breathe new life into your fitness and be able to take it with you practically anywhere. 

I will be continuing doing these workouts for a while since I've got something cooking that I can't share with you just yet.

A New Addition To Dopa Conditioning Is Going Green

 Training is about discovery and learning how to handle certain methods not just in research but also in what your capabilities are. You've seen enough posts of the Dopamineo Band I use since I enjoy it so damn much but something within me decided to step things up a notch.

Last night, I made the decision to order their newest band that may or not be around much longer which is the Chosen Higher Band. It's the same material, same length but the resistance is much lighter and it's suited to just about about everyone since it's a one size fits all type of band. The reason why I got this wasn't to replace the black one I have, it's to utilize another approach to my conditioning with the bands by working technique, control and some power/explosiveness with one band and really hammer out my speed, reflexes, quickness and agility with the other. 

I look at it as doing one or the other on certain days and if anyone is up for training with me and doing a workout with the bands together, I'll give you the green band whether you're advanced or just a beginner with this kind of training and we can tackle a kick ass session together. It's a win-win in my book. The band is great for adults, teens and kids who are looking to stay fit and build up their condition and stamina. 

This particular band is awesome for working techniques in various sports like Wrestling, Boxing, Judo and even Football. College level athletes use bands like these to drill and work on moves that can be used in regular games. Some of the best wrestlers in the world work with bands like these as high up as the Olympic & World level and quite a number have won medals in the process and credit these bands for developing their technique, leg drive, speed and durability. Little kids can even use this thing for youth sports training and even get excess energy out that can be a part of doing bodyweight and playing on the playgrounds. 

One of the best perks of having bands like these is that it's virtually indestructible. They've even had contests from various practitioners on who can snap the band. As far as I know, none of them were able to do it and these bands already can be put through the grind. If I venture to guess who can possibly snap a band, maybe Brian Shaw or a strong wrestler with insane grip and shoulder strength. Other than that, this thing has been tested in ways 95-98% of other bands would snap within seconds of even on the first use. Myself, I have pounded this band on concrete, dirtied it up, stretched it to the best I can from sprints and explosive training and still don't see a scratch or even a tear in this fucking thing. These bands, make chest expanders and even ones powerlifters use for training look weak. 

Working with the band has helped my training outside of it very well and strengthens my mobility and flexibility. At 41 and seeing many athletes my age already having knee replacements, hip replacements, ankle tears, joint problems and are in constant pain, I feel it's my duty to help those minimize those things to living pain-free as best as possible along with my own training. You've heard enough of my story and some of the things I've been through and you know that I've had enough dealing with pain that I wouldn't wish on anybody and don't want to experience it again. I don't believe in going to such extremes anymore of doing things that challenge the risk to reward ratios. With the band and even bodyweight I'll do high rep work (in total) but not make it my whole existence, I want to walk out of a session with gas left in the tank, not feeling so sore I can't move well hours or even a day later and also don't need to push it to the point of feeling pain. That whole "no pain, no gain" thing is bullshit, it may be something bad ass you want to think of in your 20's, maybe 30's but 40 and beyond, it'll be harder to heal up again and injuries are at a greater risk of happening. I'd rather have a brutal session that makes me feel great and alive than to go so hard that my bones are tested to see if they snap. 

Conditioning is your greatest asset along with long-lasting and temporary strength but that's for any age. As we get older and priorities change even by the smallest fraction, the ability to get up off the floor, being mobile, limber and agile becomes assets that you'll want to have moving forward. That doesn't mean you can't have insane sessions, as long as you can keep at it without needing to go to the ER or be sore that it takes away certain aspects of your daily life for a period, do what's possible. I have believed in since I was 21 years old that daily training is valuable and in part necessary to have a long and quality life, but it is important to understand when to go hard and when to back off a bit and focus on things that keep you moving. 

Made many mistakes along the way but as of right now, I'm where I'm supposed to be at this point in time and I'm loving that I don't live in pain, able to climb stairs with ease, walk for miles with a vest on and workout anywhere I want. This band will be a great addition (not supplementary) to my arsenal of continuous training and building knowledge of what I can do as time goes on. Come and grab one before it's gone at Dopamineo.com. Use my discount code POWERANDMIGHT to get 10% off the order, that's $8.30 from the full price so nearly 10 bucks off just using my code.

They're versatile powerhouses, offering adjustable tension from ultra-light for beginners to heavy-duty for aspiring athletes. Kids can target every muscle group – arms, legs, core, back – with exercises that mimic real-life movements. Pull-ups become epic ascents, squats transform into mountain conquests, and rows feel like rowing across stormy seas. The result? A strong, balanced body that defies weakness. Studies show resistance training for children enhances muscle development, bone density, and overall physical prowess without stunting growth – it's like planting seeds of steel in their growing frames.

It's epic: watching a kid evolve from tentative tugs to confident commands, building not just muscles but a mindset of resilience. Every session is a victory lap, fostering discipline and self-esteem that spills into academics and friendships.

Blissful Hell Doing 1000 Reps With The Dopamineo Band

 This morning, I felt strong, energetic and ready tackle a good workout. Took my bag down to the complex gym, hooked up my Dopa Band & Strap and went at it. Everything felt right and with the exercises I was doing, they were flowing to the point where even at 7 Rounds, I knew today I could do 20. 

Why do I call it Blissful Hell? Simply put, even in a state where I can keep going, the workout still wasn't going to be an easy one. Why would it? Unless you've experienced it, it is a workout that challenges your sanity. After yesterday's 800 Rep Circuit of 5 Rounds, I was determined to get at least 10 with the Dopa Band but I just kept going and doubled it. For this workout, I felt invincible and nothing was going to stop me. 

5 Exercises for 10 reps each as usual, just going even further. The only rest was marking off the circuit which is only a few seconds in comparison. 

10 Chest Presses

10 Wave Pulls

10 Squats

10 Ski Jumps

10 Power Pushovers

In all....20 Rounds comes out to 200 Reps each for a grand total of 1000. Even when I was done, I felt like I could go maybe another 2-3 rounds but this was satisfying enough. One of these days, I might see how many rounds I can do in an hour, with a routine like this, I can probably hit close to 30-32 but I'm not going to make that assumption of myself until I've actually done it. 

This is one of the reasons why the Dopa Band is such an amazing tool. It adds resistance to practically any movement you do, even a smidge can make a difference. It's effectiveness is beyond description and it helps you stay fit for life. Another big perk is that unlike other bands, this fucker doesn't snap as easily, quite frankly, it's CLOSE to impossible to snap this thing. Since September of 2023, I have not had to replace this thing and I've put it through hell, stretching as best as I can, hitting it on gravel, wet grass, sand, concrete, in the rain, hot and cold weather and it still hasn't had scratches or tears. 

This band is addicting and I'd rather be addicted to training with this than to smoke, drink and party. Exercise has been my second language since 2005 and I can't find any reason to take a day off unless I'm in a full body cast or dead. I will find a way to train every single fucking day, not because of motivation but for the love and discipline of it. For me, without training, it's like not breathing. I can be laid up and in severe pain and I'll still do something even if it's isometrics. I do like pushing myself and it has bitten me in the ass a time or two but I don't give up, I adjust and do what's possible in the moment. Since about June of 2024, I haven't been in any pain, sore sure and a few scratches here and there but not pain and I feel grateful to do things in my 40's that will continue for as long as possible. 

I'm not the strongest, the fastest, the biggest nor do I look like I should be on a magazine but I do what's possible for me and do things that keep me going no matter what. The band is just another tool that has given me new ways to love training. It's not the ultimate training tool, nor is it the end-all-be-all like anything else, it's just a tool, like your bodyweight, weights, machines or whatever. You choose what works best for you and get the biggest benefit out of it. I don't settle for one method, I practice many and combine them to form my own ideals to what I want to accomplish. 

I do believe Dopamineo Bands should be a part of any program but I won't ever call you a loser or f@ggot or anything derogatory/negative because you choose not to do them. That's what Charlatans/Cowards do, they treat you like garbage when they don't do things their way and if you don't do what they say, you're nothing but a speck of dirt and someone who isn't worthy of a human being to them. Those type of people are unworthy of your time and have no business teaching others how to be fit since some of these guys look like they couldn't fight their way out of a paper bag for one and make ridiculous claims that makes you ask yourself "Is this guy off his meds or something?" The truth is, these numbnuts come and go. Keep being you and find ways to be a little better and evolve. Make good choices, kindness isn't a weakness but don't be a pushover either, we all have our limits.

13 Rounds In 31 Minutes Of My Dopa Circuit

 Thought I'd go a little longer than usual with my Dopa Circuit today and try a couple of exercises that I've rarely if ever done. In most workouts with the band I'll do 500 total reps, only less than a handful ever done 1000 reps but today, I just wanted to see what I can do with as many rounds as I can within 30+ Minutes. 

The band is no joke and can put you down for the count if you know the way to do it. It's a reason why wrestlers use it as part of their conditioning. You can build just about any workout you want out of it. I like circuits mainly cause I can keep going with little to no rest and get a lot done in a short amount of time. In all the workouts I've done with that thing, I don't believe a workout went past 50 minutes, if that. 

In the 500 Rep workouts, I usually can breeze through it and feel great, speed is a bit more in tuned and keep things at a pace that flows well. If I wanted to go a little longer, I don't speed up as much. It's more methodical, calculated and focused more on technique and control. I let the speed come naturally, I'm not trying to kill myself but I'm not going to be sitting on my ass in between circuits either. What exercises did I do? Here's the rundown....

10 Chest Presses

10 High Pulls

10 Uppercut To Squats

10 Oblique Twists (5 Each side)

10 Propellers

Worked them but not trying to be so explosive and fast because that's not what the intention was. It was more about being precise with the movements and focus on the muscles more than trying to cut down the time. I hadn't done the High Pulls before and the last time I did Oblique Twists with the band, I made them more explosive but I ended up having issues because of it and that was back in late 2023-early 2024. This time, I kept things at a slower pace and work my hips and core muscles instead of looking like I wanted to throw somebody LOL.

This workout was interesting to do and it was great. Set my stopwatch, went at it and stopped when I felt like I was done. Got 13 Rounds in within 31 minutes or so and I'm happy with that. Going extreme every once in a while for a challenge is great but it's not necessary to do it ALL the time. Whoever tells you to go extreme everyday, needs a reality check and a dose of "Fuck off with that bullshit". It's the same type of guys who believe in the "No pain, no gain" mentality, it's a myth and a fool's errand. It's better to be consistent with what gives you the best benefit of your health and keeping things at a level that brings long term results. If you're trying to set records in every workout, it only leads to heartache, injury and a fragile ego. 

Fitness is a journey that takes many roads, obstacles and discoveries. It's about testing your capabilities but also learning what to be aware of, what to do and what not to do. Many don't get that because they want shortcuts, a quick fix and something that will turn them into some world class athlete. That's not how this works, it takes discipline, knowing when to bring it back a bit at times and taking it one day at a time. Time catches up to all of us, the question is, will you make that time worth it to be less injury-prone and maintaining levels of strength and condition that keeps you out of the nursing home? 

Be amazingly awesome and don't forget to snatch up a Dopa band at Dopamineo.com and use my discount code POWERANDMIGHT to take a few bucks off your order. Train anywhere, get one for the kids and let them get that excess energy out. Got a group or a team you're training? Bands are great for that as well and don't forget as well there's discounts for Military Veterans as well.

Skeptic vs. Dopa Workout – An Epic Clash Of Will And Resistance

Today, you and I are diving headfirst into an epic showdown that's shaking the foundations of what we think we know about resistance training. I'm talking about the Skeptic vs. Dopa Bands – a brutal piece of equipment that's got many from gym rats to couch conquerors questioning: Is it really that good? Spoiler alert: It sure as hell is. It's a war zone disguised as a simple band pull. And trust me, after dissecting this beast, it fires me up to arm you with the truth, the power, and a killer discount code to claim your victory. Use POWERANDMIGHT at checkout and unleash 10% off your Dopa Bands – because real power demands real tools!

Open The Mind To This Image: A skeptic, hardened by years of doubting every fitness fad under the sun, steps into the arena. He's seen the videos – those sleek, seemingly effortless flows with the Dopa Fitness Bands. "Pfft, looks like child's play," he smirks. But oh, how the mighty fall! Invited to try a Dopa Workout firsthand, this doubter gets slapped with reality faster than a rogue wave in a stormy sea. Muscles he didn't even know existed scream for mercy. Sweat pours like a monsoon. And in that moment, the myth shatters – Dopa isn't easy; it's engineered ferocity wrapped in silicone simplicity.

So guys, what makes Dopa the undisputed champion in this skeptic's trial? It's all about the raw, unfiltered intensity that videos just can't capture. You watch a clip, and it seems smooth – a fighter gliding through resistance. But grab those bands yourself, and boom! Full muscle engagement hits like a thunderclap. It's no hype; that's reality. Dopa Bands aren't your flimsy garage-sale rubber. Crafted from high-quality silicone, they're built to withstand the apocalypse of your workouts. Five resistance levels mean they're scalable for everyone – kids building their first fortress of strength, rehab warriors reclaiming lost ground, or pro-athletes pushing the envelope of human limits. Non-athletes? Drop one level below your ego's pick. Pros? Grab the heavy hitters and feel the burn that forges legends.

Over 10,000 users have stormed the gates with Dopa, and their war cries echo loud. "It activates muscles I didn’t know I had." Fuck yes. We're talking deep-core stabilizers, forgotten stabilizers in your shoulders, and those elusive glutes that hide in plain sight. Another testimonial roars: "I never sweat so much in just 15 minutes." Fifteen minutes! That's the magic – compact carnage that fits into your chaotic life. No more hour-long gym pilgrimages; Dopa turns your living room into a coliseum. And get this: "It can replace my gym—offering endless workout options." Versatility is the name of the game. Pulls, pushes, twists – endless variations to target every fiber. From physiotherapy to peak performance, Dopa adapts like a chameleon in combat fatigues.

But why do the skeptics test hit so hard? Because perception is the enemy of progress. Videos lure you in with grace, but they mask the grind. In videos, you can't feel the progressive overload, the constant tension that builds unbreakable strength. It's like watching a lion hunt on screen – thrilling, but nothing compared to staring down the beast yourself. The skeptic that does train and tests it? He felt it. His body quaked under the load, proving Dopa's not for the faint-hearted. It's for those who crave the dopamine rush of true challenge, the endorphin flood that destroys anxiety and nervousness.

Now, let's arm you for the hunt: What to look for when buying this resistance band? Don't settle for weak links that'll snap mid-rep...

Durability is king – Dopa's silicone stands tall against wear and tear. 

Versatility? Check – multiple levels for progressive domination. 

Effectiveness? Off the charts, with full-body engagement that outmuscles traditional weights in portability and joint-friendliness. 

-The Site Guides You

Athlete? Match your weight class. 

Beginner? Start light, build fierce. 

And for the bulk buyers – coaches, teams, or just hoarders of gains – quantity discounts stack like compound interest: 20% off for 4-9, up to 50% for 201+.  Automatic at checkout, no codes needed there. But for you, my fellow readers? POWERANDMIGHT slashes extra off your order.

Epic tales demand epic proof. Dive into the testimonials – raw, unfiltered roars from the front lines. One user declares Dopa "tougher than it looks," echoing the skeptic's humbling. Another awakens dormant muscles, turning average Joes into sculpted Spartans. Sweat in 15 minutes? That's efficiency forged in fire, perfect for busy conquerors juggling jobs, families, and dreams. For replacing the gym? Imagine ditching memberships, traffic, and excuses. It's a treasure trove for the hungry.

Let's go even deeper, into the philosophy depths of power. Dopa isn't just bands; it's a mindset. In a world of quick fixes and empty promises plus cheap knockoff courses by so called "Gurus" who think bands are beneath them, it demands you face the fire. The skeptic thought it easy – a stroll through the park. Wrong. It's a sprint through hell, emerging forged anew. Dopa amplifies this, blending dynamic resistance with static holds for hybrid havoc.

Here's something to ponder on: In the whispering shadows of doubt, a skeptic emerges from his den of denial, hungering for truth. He spots the Dopa beast grazing in the digital plains – sleek, unassuming. Charging forth, he clashes with its unyielding might. Fangs of resistance sink deep; horns of intensity gore his complacency. Bloodied but enlightened, he feasts on newfound strength, returning to his pack with tales of triumph. This is no fable; it's the essence of Skeptic vs. Dopa. Survival of the fittest, where weakness withers and power prevails.

Why choose Dopa over a horde of imitators? Quality reigns supreme. High-grade materials endure endless battles. Endless options mean boredom bows out. And the community? Over 10k strong, coaching each other to victory. The page urges: "Try It for Yourself." Heed the call! Grab your bands, feel the surge. Surprise awaits – that "easy" workout? It's your gateway to godhood.

Pricing? Transparent as a clear dawn. Bands range from under 60 Dollars to 95 Dollars, discounts dominate for multiples. Free shipping thresholds make it warrior-friendly. Currencies switch seamlessly; languages too. Login classic or quick – no barriers to entry. And for feedback? Share your sagas; request videos. Rate, engage, evolve.

As the sun sets on this epic dissection, remember: Fitness isn't a hobby; it's a crusade. Skeptic vs. Dopa proves the path to power is paved with unexpected trials. But with Dopa Bands in hand, you're equipped to conquer. Use discount code POWERANDMIGHT – claim your edge, ignite your fire. Little by little, reps become empires. Engage, follow, level up together. Be amazingly awesome.

Transform Your Fitness Journey With Dopamineo Bands

From fitness enthusiasts to weekend warriors, it's likely you're on the lookout for effective and versatile training tools to take your workouts to another level. Like many, you might associate resistance bands with specific sports or activities, such as wrestling or other martial arts. However, DopamineO Resistance Bands are more than just a niche tool for athletes – they're fucking incredible for anyone looking to get fit, improve their strength, cardio and boost their overall well-being.

For today, we'll explore the benefits of DopamineO Resistance Bands and how they can be incorporated into your fitness routine, regardless of your fitness level or goals and/or age. From strength training and mobility work to rehabilitation and injury prevention, these bands offer a wide range of applications that can help you achieve your fitness aspirations. They're even used by kids as young as 4-5 years old to get that energy out. For you parents and coaches out there, this can be a godsend.

-What are DopamineO Resistance Bands?

The Bands are high-quality, durable and provide a versatile and effective way to work out. Made from premium materials like silicone, these bands offer varying levels of resistance, allowing you to tailor your workouts to your specific needs and goals. Whether you're a seasoned athlete or just starting out on your fitness journey, they can help you achieve your objectives. Each band is carefully made for those in various weight classes like in Wrestling. 

-Benefits for All Fitness Levels*

One of the primary advantages of these Bands is their accessibility. Unlike some fitness tools or equipment that might be limited to specific sports or activities, these bands can be used by practically anyone. Here are just a few ways DopamineO Resistance Bands can benefit you:

- *Improved Strength*: Resistance bands offer a unique way to challenge your muscles and improve strength. By incorporating bands into your workouts, you can target specific muscle groups and work on building strength and endurance. Not to mention the level of conditioning you can acquire from being able to move and work many positions. 

- *Increased Mobility*: They can be used to improve mobility and flexibility. By incorporating dynamic stretches and movements into your routine, you can increase your range of motion and reduce your risk of injury. The resistance helps you find the weak points and give you something to work on to improve your movements.

- *Injury Rehabilitation*: Resistance bands are often used in rehabilitation settings to help individuals recover from injuries. DopamineO can be used to target specific muscle groups and help you rebuild strength and mobility after an injury. They've helped me recover from my own injuries such as Sciatica. 

- *Convenience*: One of the best things about the Bands is their portability. Whether you're traveling, short on space, or prefer to work out at home, these bands offer a convenient way to stay active and fit. I've used them at the lake, on the beach on the west coast, at parks and other places.

*How To Incorporate DopamineO Resistance Bands into Your Fitness Routine*

If you're interested in giving DopamineO Resistance Bands a go for yourself, your family, or in groups; here are a few ways to incorporate them into your fitness routine:

- *Start with Light*: If you're new to resistance bands, start with light resistance and gradually increase the intensity as you become more comfortable with the bands. These bands can stretch very long and the chances are very slim of them tearing. I've had mine for a couple years and it still can take a beating. Don't go for maximum intensity of the band, lighten the load of it and ease into it, work on exercises that keep you going but not pushing the limits just yet. Let it come naturally.

- Focus on Proper Form*: As with any exercise, proper form is essential when using resistance bands. Take the time to learn proper form and technique to get the most out of your workouts. Don't force anything and always be in control. The three ingredients to a safe session is Control, Technique & Tension (enough to work with properly)

- Mix it Up*: DopamineO Resistance Bands offer a wide range of applications, so don't be afraid to mix up your routine and try new things. From strength training and mobility work to rehabilitation and injury prevention, these bands can help you achieve your fitness goals. You can do a bodybuilding style routine, Circuits, Intervals, Drills you'd like to work on or make a game of it and utilize exercises that enhance your imagination. These are all bad ass things you can make of. 

-Sample Workout Routine*

Here's a sample workout routine that incorporates DopamineO Resistance Bands:

My Personal Routine That Incorperates Quickness, Strength, Conditioning, Stabilization & Coordination

1. Chest Press Or Flys

2. Wave Pulls

3. Uppercut To Squat

4. Ski Jumps

5. Propellers

For circuit training, I'll do 10-20 reps of all 5 non stop or only taking a quick rest to mark it off and keep going for a total of 500-1000 Reps. For intervals, I want to keep the rest as low as possible or to have enough time to switch from one exercise to the other and be able to go for as long as 30 minutes at a 45/15 pace meaning I'll go for 45 seconds doing as many reps as possible and resting for 15 seconds the entire duration of the workout. This gives me the level of endurance that lasts but also be ready at a moments notice and be quick to move onto the next exercise. If you want to do this routine, you can mix and match them, focus on technique and do variations of them to suit your goals, they don't exactly have to be like my style, develop your own.

These bands aren't just any ordinary resistance bands; they're designed to help you unlock the potential residing within and take your fitness journey to the next level. At the moment, we're going to get a glimpse or an idea of the benefits of using these bad asses and how they can transform your workouts.

What are These Bands?

DopamineO Bands are a type of resistance band that provides a unique way to challenge the muscles and improve overall fitness. They're made from high-quality materials and come in various resistance levels, making them suitable for everyone from beginners to seasoned athletes. Even to the point where kids can use them. The bands are designed to work muscles through a full range of motion, helping to build strength, increase flexibility, and enhance endurance. Not to mention great for rehab/prehab.

What Are The Benefits of Using Them?

So, what makes DopamineO Bands so important to have in your arsenal? The benefits here can give you an idea of what to expect:

1. Increased Strength: The Bands provide continuous tension throughout the many movements you can do, which helps to build strength and muscle endurance. This is especially beneficial for athletes who need to improve their power and explosiveness such as wrestling and MMA.

2. Improved Flexibility: They'll help to increase flexibility by allowing you to move in a broader range of motion. This is perfect for those who struggle with mobility or want to improve their overall flexibility. It doesn't matter if you're an athlete or not, these will help you build a larger spectrum to give your body's ability to move better.

3. Enhanced Endurance: They're designed to challenge your muscles and cardiovascular system, helping to improve your endurance and stamina. This is ideal for athletes who need to perform at a high level for extended periods. Breathwork is important with this too and as your stamina gets better, so will your overall well being.

4. Low-Impact: Unlike traditional weights, the Bands provide a low-impact way to work out, reducing the risk of injury and stress on your joints. Although there are explosive movements for more advanced workouts, you can also tone down the intensity and still have a workout that opens the door to another world. 

5. Portable and Convenient: The bands are lightweight and portable, making them perfect for travel or home workouts. I put them in a drawstring bag and go to the park, the lake or wherever I want to train.

How to Use Them?

1. Focus on Proper Form: Make sure to use proper form and technique when performing exercises with the bands. This will help you get the most out of your workout and reduce the risk of injury. Move With the band, let it become a part of you.

The 500 Rep Deck of Cards Workout with DopamineO Bands

Hope everyone had a great Independence Day yesterday. For today, we're not just talking any old training method—we’re forging legends. It's time to go into the primal chaos of one of my personal favorite workouts, the 500 Rep Deck Of Cards Dopa Workout. Using the mighty DopamineO Bands and the unpredictable magic of a deck of cards. This isn’t just exercise; this is a battle, a game, a test of your soul’s fire. Are you ready to stretch your limits, unleash that internal beast and become a force of nature? Let’s tear into this with the ferocity of a lion and the clarity of an eagle. Are you ready?...I said ARE YOU READY??? For the thousands who read this blog every month and the many followers on social media....LETS GET READY TO TRRRRAAAAIIINNN!!! (Fun DX impression, just for kicks)

Why 500 Reps, DopamineO Bands, and a Deck of Cards?

Fitness isn’t about monotony—it’s about fun, igniting the fire and unleashing relentless fury. The 500-rep workout is a gauntlet thrown down by the gods of strength and endurance. It’s not for the faint of heart, but for those who dare to rise up with the hunger to conquer mountains. Pair that with DopamineO Bands, those 16-foot silicone titans of resistance (0–230 lbs of pure fury, latex-free, odorless, and damn near indestructible), and you’ve got a portable Colosseum ready to challenge you anywhere—your backyard, the park, or the crest of a fucking mountain. 

Now, toss in a deck of cards, and you’ve got chaos in the best way possible. Each card is a command, a dare, a chance to push your body and mind to the edge. This isn’t your grandma’s workout (unless your grandma’s a badass wrestler). The deck of cards brings randomness, strategy, and a game-like vibe that keeps your brain engaged and your muscles screaming. It’s conditioning with a twist, and when you pair it with DopamineO Bands, you’re not just building muscle—you’re crafting endurance, technique, heart and learning to expect the unexpected.

Why 500 reps? It sounds arbitrary doesn't it? That's because it’s a number that demands respect (Think Karl Gotch with the Hindu Squats). It’s a milestone that separates the mortals from the immortals. And with DopamineO Bands, inspired by the relentless stamina of elite wrestlers like Khabib (who bought these bands for Daniel Cormier’s academy, by the way!), you’re not just chasing reps—you’re chasing greatness. So, shuffle that deck, strap on your Dopa Band, and let’s make some magic happen. Use my discount code POWERANDMIGHT for 10% off at dopamineo.com and join the revolution!

The Battle Plan: How the Deck of Cards Workout Works

Ok sparky here's the deal: A standard deck of 52 cards is your commander-in-chief. Each suit represents an exercise, each card a rep count, and the DopamineO Band is your weapon of choice. The goal? Crush 500 reps across five brutal exercises, fueled by the elastic fury of the Dopa Band. This is how we roll:

1. Assign Your Exercises:

   -Hearts: Chest Press (explosive power for your upper body)

   -Diamonds: Wave Pulls (dynamic pulling motion to torch your lats and core, like pulling an opponent to the mat).

   -Spades: Uppercut to Squat (a full-body combo that lights up your legs, core, and shoulders with fight-ready intensity).

   -Clubs: Ski Jumps (lateral hops with band resistance to build agility and shred your calves, not to mention quickness).

    -Jokers: Propellers (a spinning, band-resisted move that hits every muscle group)

2. Set the Reps:

   - Number cards (2–10): Perform the number of reps shown (e.g., 5 of hearts = 5 Chest Presses).

   - Ace: 16 reps (Toughness Galore).

   - Jack: 10 reps (Grinding it out).

   - Queen: 10 reps (Keep it going).

   - King: 10 reps (Becoming a legend throughout).

   - Joker: The wild card! Pull a Joker, and you do 50 reps of the Propeller, taking on a new wave of testing your abilities.

3. Game On:

   - Shuffle the deck and anchor your DopamineO Band to a sturdy point (door, tree, or your sheer willpower). Draw one card at a time, perform the reps, and move to the next card. No rest unless you absolutely need it—keep the rhythm relentless, like a Dagestani wrestler chasing victory.

   - Adjust resistance dynamically: Too easy? Step farther from the anchor point. Too hard? Step closer. This is functional fitness at its finest.

   - Keep going until you finish the deck. Track your time, let the speed come naturally.

Why DopamineO Bands Make This Epic

DopamineO Bands aren’t your average resistance bands. These bad boys are one of the GOATs of fitness tools, crafted for those who want to achieve fitness immortality. Here’s why they’re the perfect partner for this 500-rep odyssey:

- Versatility Unmatched: Unlike flimsy loop bands, Dopa Bands conquer every exercise—upper body, lower body, full-body, rehab, or sport-specific drills. They’re the Swiss Army knife of conditioning.

- Low-Impact Glory: No joint-grinding iron here. These bands are gentle yet ferocious, perfect for athletes recovering from injury or anyone seeking longevity without sacrificing intensity.

- Elite Guidance: With your Dopa Band, you get lifetime access to 300+ pro-level training videos—tutorials for wrestling, MMA, boxing, and fitness, crafted by THE masters. Stream them on your phone, tablet, or TV, and let the GOATs guide your ascent

- Built for Immortals: Made of pure silicone, these bands are durable as hell, lasting longer than speargun rubber, according to a Greco-Roman wrestler on Reddit. They’re the tool of choice for elite fight sport athletes worldwide.

- Sport-Specific Mastery: Wrestlers, boxers, and judoka use Dopa Bands to mimic opponents’ resistance, honing technique while building insane stamina. This workout isn’t just about reps—it’s about becoming a relentless machine.

Why This Works: The Science of the Grind

This isn’t just a workout; it’s a top of the line entity in conditioning. The 500 rep structure hammers your endurance, torches calories, and builds functional strength. The deck of cards adds randomness, keeping your brain engaged and preventing plateaus. DopamineO Bands amplify the intensity with dynamic resistance—unlike static weights, they challenge your muscles through the entire range of motion, mimicking real-world movements like wrestling takedowns or boxing combos.

The high-rep lead up approach builds stamina that rivals elite athletes. Think Khabib, outlasting opponents because he trained with tools like these. The bands’ low-impact nature means you can push to muscle failure without wrecking your joints, making it ideal for fighters, fitness enthusiasts, or anyone chasing longevity. Plus, the game-like vibe of the deck keeps you hooked—every card is a challenge, every rep leads to great victory.

Tips to Conquer the 500-Rep Quest

1. Focus on Form: High reps can tempt you to slack, but don’t. Keep your movements crisp, especially with the band’s resistance. Quality over quantity, always. 

2. Breathe With Intent: Exhale on the effort, inhale on the release. This keeps your rhythm and fuels your stamina.

3. Adjust Resistance: Too tough? Step closer to the anchor. Too easy? Step back. The Dopa Band’s dynamic resistance is your secret weapon.

4. Have Fun: This is a game, not a chore. Crank some music, train outside, and let the cards lead the way. I like to put on some good ole metal and feel the jacked surge of fire within when a great solo comes on. (Eruption anyone?)

5. Track Your Time: Aim to finish  a little faster each session. I try to keep it within 25-30 min. Again, let the speed come naturally and feel the flow each time.

6. Mix It Up: Swap exercises to target different muscles. Try Curls, Lunges, or Rows for variety. Check dopamineo.com’s 300+ video library for inspiration.

The Aftermath: What You’ll Gain

Complete this workout, and you’re not just stronger—you’re a force of nature. Your endurance will soar, your muscles will harden, and your mind will be forged in the fires of discipline. You’ll walk taller, move faster, and feel like you can take on the world. This is what DopamineO Bands and the deck-of-cards method do: they turn you into a machine. You will enhance your toughness. But it’s more than physical. This workout is a pact with yourself—a vow to conquer what you were, to rise above to get better, and to chase the most badass version of you. Every rep is a step toward greatness, every card a triumph over doubt.

The time is now to toss out half-assed efforts and boring workouts. If you’re ready to ignite your soul, tear down walls, and forge a body that roars with power, then DopamineO Bands are your ticket to greatness. These aren’t just some flimsy rubber straps you snag at a discount bin—hell no, these bad boys are 16 feet of pure, unrelenting fury, built to transform you into a force of nature. This is more than just fitness, it's about taking control of your destiny.

You explode into a sprint, feeling that resistance claw at you, daring you to give in. But you don’t. You got at it harder, legs pumping like pistons, lungs burning, heart thundering—every fiber of your being screaming with primal energy. That’s the core of these bands, ladies and gents. They don’t just train your body; they awaken that beast within.

Inspired by some of the toughest and most rugged athletes on the planet—Dagestani wrestlers, Olympic champs, and American gridiron warriors—these bands are a game-changer. Khabib didn’t gas out because he trained like a machine, and you can bet your ass that tools like these were in his arsenal. Portable? You fucking know it. You can take ‘em to the park, the beach, your backyard—anywhere you’ve got the guts to grind. Indoors or outdoors, they don't give a shit. They’ll hit every muscle group with relentless precision, building explosive power, jacking up your cardio, and carving out strength that lasts.

These aren't normal workouts—they're battles with ferocious intensity. And with over 300 videos from world-class athletes at your fingertips when you grab a band including my own personal playlist, you’re not just training; you’re learning from the gods of the game.

DopamineO Bands aren’t for the faint of heart. They’re for the relentless, the hungry, the ones who refuse to stay down.

Updated The Chest Expander

 It was time to toss out one apparatus and get an upgraded model. I've had my Chest Expander since about 2006-2007 and in that time, did many workouts, snapped a few bands here and there and built some solid strength with it. It has been wearing down recently and there was noticeable damage to it. I decided to get the updated model and see what I can do with it. 

Got it yesterday and tested it out. It was so worth getting this fucker because the lock in mechanism kept the bands way more in tact and the handles are longer than the previous version. Because of the better features, it felt more comfortable to handle and I actually felt stronger doing the pulls. With the other expander, I could pull 140 lbs pretty well for 10 reps but start shaking a bit around the 8th rep, with this new one, 12 felt solid and a hell of a lot more stable. 

I love Strand Pulling, it's one of my favorite methods for building strength and developing powerful shoulders. I've tested myself with various amounts of resistance and gotten pretty good around 150-160 lbs. and hit 200 with some exercises but not the gold standard ones like the Hands In Chest Pull. Strongman Kevin Wikse has legitimately pulled 220 lbs resistance in the chest pull. I wanted to see how far I've come and what I was capable of. I filmed a few exercises and they're up on youtube (there's a chest expander playlist I have on there). With the old model, I've now pulled 210 lbs Resistance in an exercise called the Hands Out Downward Pull Behind The Back which I managed 5 reps so that was awesome.

I wanted to take it to the next level and test my strength with the Gold Standard Pull Into The Chest at 210 lbs Resistance. This would put me 10 lbs shy of Kevin's Pull and he's one of the legit strongest men on this planet. I was nervous as hell but you never know until you do it and if you know the type of strength it takes to do this, you know this is not something to be taken lightly. I did and filmed it as proof so you won't just take my word for it. It was incredibly exciting and to put it in perspective, I didn't think in my 20's this was possible because I've seen strong dudes much better than me at this do this so for me it was a pipe dream. In my 30's, I figured it wasn't a priority and it wasn't going to be in the cards for me. At 40, maybe give this a chance, the chances of me pulling it off (pun intended) was not only slim but close to impossible in that specific exercise so what do I have to lose? This was one of the coolest moments in my life of Physical Culture and I hope I've honored those of the past in this method. 

It's a different kind of strength compared to weights and bodyweight training for sure but if you look back on the history of this method of training from the Spring Loaders to the modern day of Resistance Bands, the Chest Expander has been used by some of the strongest and built men in that time from Earl Liederman to John Grimek, Lou Thesz and all the way up to guys like Kevin Wikse, Bud Jeffries, Jon Hinds and others. It is one of the best tools for building incredible strength in the upper body and can build some serious muscle that is functional for the real world, not just in the gym. Never underestimate something like this. 

Give this bad ass piece of equipment a chance, you can take it anywhere because it's so light and small enough to fit in a bag to travel with. Switch to various exercises in seconds and adjust the bands easily. Be amazingly awesome and keep killing it you guys. 

Dopamineo Playlist To Help Get You Started

 

When you get an idea in your head and have something good going on, you might as well share it and see where it leads. For a while now in addition to my Dopa Band Workouts, I wanted to create a playlist on my YouTube to show some basic moves you can do with the Band. Some are a little more advanced and others are the basics with the volume turned up so do speak. 

These bands are insanely fun to use and the creativity you can get from them are limitless. It doesn't matter if you're a wrestler, MMA Fighter, Fitness Nut or a bad ass Olympic Champion; Dopa Bands create a unique way to build strength and conditioning that not only lasts but enhances your energy levels, the way you move and the way you can have a better quality of life. That's why I created the playlist to showcase what you can do at least on a simpler level. Exercises you can start with and build a foundation on. 

They're not just for building athleticism and fitness, they can be great for rehab/prehab, mobility training, flexibility, rotational work, loosening up muscles and a hell of a lot more. From time to time, I'll use them to loosen up my back and legs. My joints always feel amazing after training with them and because they're not time constricted, you can get in something great in as little as 5-10 minutes. If you wish to go longer, that's awesome, you get to decide what could work for you and take the amount of steps needed to get better and better. 

Now, one of the perks of getting a band is that once you learn some of the exercises that can get you started, you can access even more tutorials from the DopamineO company themselves that will send your fitness into the stratosphere. Get your hands on workouts and exercises from World & Olympic Champions, MMA Tournament Winners, College Wrestlers and other Pro Athletes that will showcase their explosiveness, strength, power, speed, reactions and more that made them some of the very best on the planet. I can give you samples of things that can get you going and have some fun with, but when you learn from the cream of the crop, you'll find out what you're capable of and harnessing a new level of cardio that is just unbelievable. 

One of my favorite exercises is the Squat & Row Combo which is very simple, take the band, Squat down, come back up and pull towards the rib cage. Nothing too complicated and works multiple muscle groups which can aid in conditioning training along with agility. I do this often in my own training doing either circuits or HIIT Workouts where I would do this for up to a minute or so with other exercises for a total of 15-30 minutes of a full workout. It's great as it can be used to train for wrestling working on the duck under and pulling your opponent in for the kill or it can be done to work on knee mobility and working the upper back muscles to build strength for rehabbing. There are so many things this exercise can do it's nuts yet it's so simple to do. 

With practice, a good work ethic and utilizing your imagination, these bands will benefit you in ways that I can't even fathom and who knows what you'll be able to do. You can take them anywhere, even to the gym to use for rest periods, warm ups, cooldowns, finishers or part of your routine. You can bring them to the park like you'll see with some of the exercises in this playlist. Take them down to the Lake and work on some stuff before going swimming like the Propeller for example. It is a great companion for at home training or to travel with. 

In this playlist there are more than a Dozen exercises at your disposal to get you started that range from working specific muscles to explosive training and combo moves. Grab a band today and start on the path to a new you and have a kick ass time. Don't forget to use my Discount Code POWERANDMIGHT to get 10% OFF your order. You got this and keep being amazingly awesome. 

Why Dopamineo Bands Are Great For Those Over 40

 Getting older can suck at times depending on how you live but it doesn't mean you can't build a better quality of life after a certain age. Some people believe they peaked in high school, others in their 20's and 30's but very few (more than past generations at least) believe you stop at 40 and just live it out the rest of your life. One of the greatest legends and one of the last of the oldtime strongmen Slim The Hammerman once said he didn't even peak at 40. He said between his years of 40-50, he felt like he was invincible and dangerous. That's a bold statement considering what he put himself through day after day working as a back breaking stone cutter with a 16 lb hammer and on top of performing the heaviest sledgehammers that to this day almost nobody can match.

Athletes as they age do tend to wind down after years of hard training in certain sports but it doesn't mean they should stop living. We keep driving to be better, make adjustments if we have to but train to keep our quality of life going. We won't always be able to do the same things when we were younger but we can create new possibilities and keeping our joints healthy is one of those steps to making that happen.

I knew going into being 40 that there are things that won't value my style of training but I can create new possibilities and keep testing things out and as it turns out, I'm doing things I wasn't doing in my 30's. Never imagined training hard with a heavy 100+ lb sandbag at 40 or carrying a kettlebell for hundreds or even 1000 yards or more without putting it down. One of the best pieces of equipment I love using and have been using it off and on for a year now is the Dopamineo Band. At first it was to help heal a sciatica injury, than it became something to do for conditioning and now it's basically to not only condition my body but to help keep my joints and muscles healthy. You've seen some of the workouts I do with that thing and it hasn't slowed me down. 

The band is more than just a tool, it's a saver for those who are working around injuries, do drills in some format to keep up with what they did for wrestling or fighting back in the day or to maintain health and stamina after years on the field, the mat or whatever. It gives off that youthful feeling of having great energy, natural dopamine levels, better breathing and being more mobile. You can take it anywhere with you and use it as warm up, a finisher or as a stand alone in addition to your regular routine. It doesn't take long to do, you can get a killer workout in within 15-30 minutes and be spanked but in a good way. The cardio you get alone is often times better than just running on a treadmill, you can switch up exercises on a dime and never be bored. You can make it as tough or as easy as you want it and build a foundation for a better healthy body.

One of my favorite exercises is what's called the Chest Pull Wave or Creating Waves With A Pull In that works the arms, shoulders and back along with working the stability muscles in your core. It's a hell of an arm conditioner and with the intensity and pace to create waves consistently, it builds incredible stamina and lung power. Wrestlers do this as a finisher to keep up their conditioning or use as part of a post practice workout to make sure they have that extra boost for matches later on. From a fitness standpoint, it's a great way to build long term strength in the arms and build muscle in the core and back. 

Being active in your later years is essential to maintain healthy levels of hormones, heart & lungs, serotonin and brain function. Intense exercise adds a great element to being in that active state but it doesn't mean you go so hard that you're dying at the end. Always have gas in the tank and progress little by little. I love Circuit Training and working with 5 exercises or so for 10 rounds with little to no rest so I don't waste time. I want to be done with a workout as soon as possible and on some days I'll do DDP Yoga for longer periods of time so I can maintain flexibility but with Circuits, it is intense, hard and there's no safety zone or net to save you. 

One workout I did with the Dopa Band just a couple days ago or so, I did a HIIT type workout where I took 5 exercises for 1 minute on, 15 seconds off each and did that 4 times for a total of approx 25 min for the whole workout. It was brutal, sweating like crazy and felt a high that was amazing. Never did that level of intense training before and there were times where I wanted to quit but kept going. It's not an everyday thing but going that hard and still having some energy left is just beautiful man. That's one of the very best things about this style of Band Training, you can mimic just about any machine in the gym or work on drills for sparring to keep your stamina up or even use it in addition to your current routine and use it for rest periods between sets for your gym exercises. 

The sky is the limit, be creative and utilize simple techniques so you can get the most out of a workout. When you get a band, you can gain access to a variety of videos and tutorials to give you insights on how you can use the band to your advantage. The band is made for those in certain weight classes like in MMA so you can get the benefit of training with something meant just for you and your goals. Become more mobile, build strength that lasts and have the stamina of someone in their 20's. Workout at home, the park, in a hotel room, at the beach, on break at work, on vacation or wherever. Make it work for you.
