- Seamless, continuous loop - Tough latex layered structure - 40" long - Light weight and highly portable - Offer progressive resistance - Valuable aid in increasing strength and explosiveness - Great for pre-contest pumping Resistance Bands- are used for 1) Speed and Agility Training 2) Strength Training 3) Plyometrics 4) Aerobics 5) Stretching 6) Flexibility Exercises 7) General Conditioning 8) Rehabilitation Woody Bands™ offer you the advantages of using weights, but without the downside. With bands, there are no weights to store or weight-related accidents. Throw them in your gym bag and you have a portable gym that can go with you anywhere (e.g. overseas trip). Or take them to your local gym to utilize Woody Bands™ with weights. Woody bands comes in six different pound resistances. They vary in thickness and width, which determines their pound resistance. (The greater the stretching distance of the band while exercising, the greater the resistance load of the band.) All bands are 40 inches long, seamless latex rubber constructed in layers to prevent breakage. Woody Bands™ are sold only in pairs, and come with a 1-year warranty. Usage Guidelines Below are some very general guidelines for band usage. Trial and error may be necessary to find the band best suited to your particular fitness level and usage. Mini and Super-mini Bands (#1 & #2) are best for general conditioning, rehabilitation, stretching, jumping, speed training, aerobics, and for lifters as assistance for the upper body to increase the resistance for bicep and triceps. Either band is great for beginners and light weight lifters. Both can be used to safely increase the intensity of a workout without adding additional weights to a bar. For the stronger lifter, they will add considerable resistance to bicep and tricep exercises. Small and Medium Bands (#3 & #4) can be used by stronger benchers, and with exercises involving the lower body, calves, quads, hamstring and glutes. Large and X-Large Bands ( #5 & 6) are usually used for obtaining maximum resistance with squats, deadlifts, leg presses and shrugs. These bands can be used for upper body exercise by themselves or when looped over the barbell and combined with weights like many world-class power and weight lifters do. Buy a pair for strengthening. Also great for agility drills when looped around the ankles and each foot. Bands are sold in pairs. Resistance bands used by many sport teams, as well as powerlifters. They can also be found at most major colleges and universities across the USA. Resistance bands are also beneficial for stretching and flexibility. Eight to 15 minutes a day is recommended for stretching but even a quick stretch that gets the blood flowing can help quite beneficial to improve recovery. Lack of flexibility is a major problem for young and elderly, including athletes. Other Benefits Do squats and dead lift with no pressure on the knees or low back. Change in resistance curve can 'shock' the targetted muscles. Develop stabilizer muscles Train for strength in legs and upper body without damaging and overloading joints. Safe for power, explosiveness, strength training. Lightweight and portable - great for travelers! Useful in improving flexibility |

I remember using my first
rubber training device from
Weider called "Power-X", a
thick latex, X-shaped, with
moulded built-in latex
handle on all 4 sides.
Something I love to use it
as an assisting apparatus
for my training and
stretching. After they were
not being manufacturered
any more, I was left with
those springs chest
expander as a substitute.
The springs can sometime
pinch your chest hairs.
It took us another 20 years
before a better invention
comes along. Entering high
quality latex looped bands.
I find these resistance
bands to be of the highest
quality. They take up little
space and are highly
portable.
I especially love to take
them with me for overseas
trips for enjoyable and yet
effective sets of biceps,
triceps, deltoids laterals for
all the 3 heads. The bigger
bands are great for the
back exercises. Just
looped them to your feet
and you can perform bent
over or seated row even
squats.
They are also great to
change the resistance
curve for regular exercises
like bench presses and
squats to help you break
new records. Just looped
the to any solid structures,
dumbbells, your feet or
even across your back.
They are very versatile and
useful accessories. Just
use your imagination and
be creative! They can
virtually be looped to any
sturdy structure to let you
work any muscles in your
body. Great for
strengthening your rotary
cuffs muscles to prevent
shoulder injuries too!
Great for flexibility and
stretching too. Finally
something better than
"Power-X" is borned!
