EXERCISE BANDS

#1 Band:

The lightest resistance band, this is perfect for rehabilitation exercises and light isolation exercises. If using for barbell exercises, this band would be the preferred choice for beginner/intermediate lifters. Otherwise known as a 'mini-band'.

Absolute Gold resistance bands can be added to a barbell to give a whole new dimension to lifts like squats, bench presses, deadlifts etc. The bands can also be used to intensify bodyweight training, 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 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.
