Power Bands and Pull Up Bands

Power bands are long rubber loops, and the width sets the resistance: the wider the band, the harder it pulls. The LivePro 2m bands go like this:

• 12mm, X-Light
• 21mm, Light
• 32mm, Medium
• 44mm, Heavy
• 64mm, X-Heavy

For assisted pull ups, loop the band over the bar and put a foot or knee in it. A wider band gives more help, so heavier people and anyone still working toward a first pull up usually start wide and move to thinner bands as they get stronger.

The same bands work for mobility stretches and banded squats, and the 4m bands are long enough for sprint and agility drills. The 12 inch short bands are handy for lower body work. If you want several widths, our resistance band sets bundle them together.
