Beginner's Resistance Band Pack (#1, 2 and 3 bands)
Featuring the #1, 2 & 3 bands, the Beginners Pack is the perfect combination of an easy band to use for accessory exercises, a medium band to use for bench press and similar exercises and the strong band for exercises such as squats, rows and pullups
Absolute Gold resistance bands can be added to a barbell to give a whole new dimension to strength exercises like squats, bench presses, deadlifts etc.
The bands can also be used to intensify bodyweight training with minimal equipment, adding resistance to things like push-ups or lunges – perfect for training at home, in a hotel room or anywhere you find yourself without access to a gym.
If you have trouble doing chin-ups or similar exercises, you can use the band to assist you in a much more natural way than a fixed machine.
Absolute Gold bands are a high level, durable band that can add a lot of resistance to a variety of exercises – the higher numbered bands will challenge even the strongest lifter. For bands with a lower resistance level, see ‘Absolute Gold Resistance Tubing’.
Absolute Gold bands can also be used for stretching and flexibility work for yoga, pilates etc.
Absolute Gold bands are 41” (105 cm) long, continuous loop and come in a variety of widths from ½” to 2 ½”. The resistance added by each band is as follows:

To get the longest period of use from your bands, it is not recommended to stretch the bands to more than 3x the original length. Keep bands in a cool, dry place and away from direct sunlight. Check your bands for nicks, cuts or damage on a regular basis, and do not use a band that is damaged. Absolute Gold UK assumes no responsibility for injuries caused by wear, breakage or misuse of bands. See here for usage guidelines.
