Description
Each resistance band offers a different amount of tension, depending on the thickness of the bands.
Each band can be combined with one or more others to increase resistance.
A thicker band is good increasing your strength when a thinner one is too easy and for more assistance when you need it.
A thinner band is good for providing you with gradually less assistance as you get better as a movement.
The 4 bands in this set include:
Warm Up Band
The Warm Up Band is only 1/4″ wide but has several applications that make it an extremely valuable training tool.
At 1/4″ thickness, it provides between 5-15 lbs. [2-7 kg] of resistance and is excellent for high rep strength training, dynamic stretching, and prehab/rehab exercises. These are one of the best tools for warming up and strengthening smaller muscle groups, particularly the shoulders and arms.
Light Band
The Light Band is a highly versatile 1/2″ wide band that can be used for almost every muscle in your entire body. It provides 15-35 lbs. (9-16 kg) of resistance, an ideal amount of tension for high rep toning exercises that target both upper and lower body muscle groups. The light resistance band can easily be combined with heavier bands to optimize the amount of assistance needed for pullups, pole fitness, powerlifting, and a variety of strength training and stretching exercises.
Medium Band
The Medium Band measures 7/8″ wide and provides 25-64 lbs. (14-23 kg) of resistance and offers numerous ways to tone and strengthen your entire body. Our medium band’s versatility makes them valuable for assisted pull-ups, pole fitness, powerlifting, squats, presses, and numerous stretches. This band can be used alone or can easily be combined with another band to tailor the amount of resistance needed.
Heavy Band
The Heavy Band is our most popular band for assisted bodyweight training (assisted pull-ups, pole dance fitness, and calisthenics). With 35-85 lbs. [18-36 kg] of resistance the 1.15″ Heavy Band is a versatile jump off point for many suspended movements found on the pole and pull-up bar. Fasten it securely and dramatically improve the quality and quantity of your: assisted pull-ups, muscle-ups, shoulder mounts, and handsprings. Harness the resistance by stepping inside for a deep stretch or squat, or strap them to a barbell and amplify your presses and deadlifts with the band’s ascending resistance.
