The Body-Solid accessory line continues to expand with the introduction of Power Bands; available in five different levels of resistance, these 41" bands are a cost effective and simple way to add intensity to any training routine.

Why use lifting bands? Lifting bands offer a contrasting method in an exercise program where the weight resistance changes at different points in a lift. Using bands will make the weight increase through the concentric and eccentric portions of a lift that will result in greater speed and acceleration.

Not just for power lifters: the Light and Very Light bands are best used for general conditioning, stretching, rehabilitation, jumping, aerobics and for increased resistance towards bicep and tricep exercises. Either band works well for beginners and novice weightlifters.

For stronger bench presses and lower body exercises, the Medium and Heavy bands work well.

For obtaining maximum resistance using squats, deadlifts, leg presses and shrugs, the Very Heavy band is the top of the line.
