anyone know where I can buy a resistance stretch tube with no handles on it? My friend showed me a really simple exercise that uses one and its guaranteed to improve speed so I want to start doing it ASAP.

Buy this for dirt cheap and cut the handles off: http://www.amazon.com/Valeo-VA4517RE-Medium-Resistance-Tube/dp/B0007IS700/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods&qid=1215695392&sr=1-2

find surgical tubing somewhere. maybe a hardware store, or some medical supply store. your best bet is prolly to just order cheap ones off of the internet and cut the handles off.

ya thats it. my friend showed it to me at his house, he said he heard great reviews from it. I tried it and you feel amazing light on your feet right after you do it.

Did you buy the thing that includes all five of the exercises or are you just experimenting with this one?

seems good...but i dont think i will be able to put off lifting for two weeks (it says not to lift during the two weeks of doing this)...do you guys think lifting just upper body throught these two weeks will effect its results

In the youtube video there were a couple of comments that said that the guy had said that they could still lift upper body while doing it. I don't know how reliable those sources are though.
