Welcome to Hybrid Resistance Training
This is where I’ll be organizing how I actually approach training across different tools, programming, special courses, and building a community of likeminded trainees. Most people get stuck thinking they need one “best” method. For me the goal is to combine not only what works, but also apply it in a way that’s practical and sustainable long term. Inside here I’ll be sharing: - Training ideas and setups - How I use bands, cables, sliding bench trainers, machines, and free weights together - Answers to your questions as they come up - Foster a Community 👉 Feel Free to Introduce yourself below (or on another post) and let me know what equipment you’re currently using (bands, Total Gym/sliding bench, dumbbells, etc.) That’ll help me shape what I share in here moving forward. Community Guidelines • Be respectful and encouraging. • Constructive discussion is always welcome, but personal attacks and negativity are not. • Remember that different training methods can all be effective. Keep an open mind and respect that others may have different goals, preferences, and experiences. • Share your successes, ask questions, and help others whenever you can. To get things started: Questions? Feel free to post your questions in the community. One of the best parts of this group is learning from each other's experiences, and often another member may have already solved the same problem you're facing. I'll jump into discussions and answer questions whenever I can, but I won't always be available or able to respond to every post personally. If you're looking for more individualized guidance, I'll be opening additional one-on-one consultation opportunities in the future.

Always consult your physician or another qualified healthcare professional before beginning any exercise program.
I Want to Feature YOUR Home Gym!
Hey everyone! It's been a little while since I've posted here, but I wanted to get things rolling again with something fun. I'm considering putting together an upcoming Hybrid Resistance video featuring some of YOUR home gyms and training setups. I've gotten sent all kinds of gyms throughout the years and thought a video is long overdue. I'm particularly interested in seeing how people are getting creative with their equipment. You don't need a massive garage gym. In fact, I'm especially interested in setups that demonstrate the "Hybrid Resistance" philosophy: - Making the most of limited equipment and space - Combining different training tools like bands, cables, free weights, sliding bench trainers, etc. - Finding creative ways to get more versatility out of what you already own Whether you have a small corner of a room or an entire garage, I'd love to see what you've put together. Share some pictures and a brief description of your setup below, or email them to Mike@HybridResistance.com. I won't be able to feature everyone, but I'd love to highlight some interesting setups in an upcoming video. Regardless, feel free to let me know what other content and topics you want discussed in here.
Outdoor Workout Setups!
Folks!! I used to like grabbing resistance bands and tying them off on our deck railing and enjoying the good weather! I wanna know what other folks' creative setups are for outdoor "gyms"!
Outdoor Workout Setups!
Bullworkers
Has anybody else tried them? I ordered one after seeing Mike's video and I really like it. It will be my travel kit. I was taking bands and this will be more simple to manage. I also use them at the end of a session if I feel like I didn't hit something hard enough. I grab the Bullborker and sort of "See what there is to see" on the last few minutes.
Just found you and have questions about the TG
Hey Mike! I want to start off by saying I just found out about you and absolutely LOVE your channel! You have some of the best and most thorough explanations of strength training I have ever seen! I was an athlete in high school/college and now as a woman in my early 40s, I’ve been trying to get back into a routine of working out. I have some power block dumbbells, a few resistance bands, and a squat rack with a smith machine and an upper and lower pulley + weight stack now. I’m looking to simplify my workouts since honestly sometimes I don’t know which exercises to do or how to structure a routine and have been considering a total gym purely because of your channel. I have found several used units locally to choose from. My problem is I’m trying to decide if I need to spring for one that has the weight bar capability or not? There is a barely used Apex 3 with all attachments but the ab crunch for $150, and then there is also an XL7 with all the available attachments for $100. I know the Apex accepts the weight bar but I don’t think the XL7 does? I’m having trouble finding much info on that unit so any additional you can provide would be great! My goals for working out are to gain flexibility/improve mobility (I said earlier I was a lifelong athlete and I have the knees to prove it! Lol), lose some weight/tone up, and also gain some strength and muscle but not “bulk up” per se. How do I figure out if the ability to add the weight bar should be a deal breaker and decide between the 2 machines? I know we’d use the ab crunch so that is a capability I want, but it sounds like in most of your videos you really recommend the XLS or Fit over smaller units. There is a fit near me as well, but it’s $300 and doesn’t include the extra attachments. I’m not sure I want to jump in that deep having never tried this kind of machine. I remember seeing the infomercials as a kid and thinking it would be cool if my dad bought one, but my parents couldn’t afford the price point of the original.
