It is very difficult to quantify the actual resistance used when training with bands as acoach or fitness enthusiasts. If you are a numbers type person, this can be frustrating.However, if you or your clients are lifting for strength gains, typically deadweight lifts areused as bench marks to quantify absolute strength and bands are used to enhancethose bench marks

.

Resistance bands unique ascending resistance is designed to create a differentneuromuscular response which in turn will increase absolute strength. As you movetowards program design, perceived exertion, reps, movement quality, and band size areall options for quantifying progress training with bands.

Thunder Band Series (73 Inch or 2 Meter Band)

The 73 inch band is a double length band that is 3/16 inch thick and can vary in width

from 1.5 to 3 inches. They are designed for highintensity speed training drills that are commonlyperformed in sports performance facilities or onathletic teams.

However, they can easily be used within thefitness arena for partner based horizontal pullingor pushing along with locomotion and lower bodyhorizontal vector training.

The unique double length increases resistancevariability and provides for slightly more durabilitydue to the added length.

Size recommendations:

Typical high school male athletes train best in teal and maroon

College or professional athletes will train in maroon and royal blue

For fitness based training, teal appears to be the most versatile

Band Accessories

Many elastic training tools come with permanently attached handles as well as some

type of nylon strap to attach into doors or around poles. Continuously looped resistancebands do not come with permanently attachment accessories to allow for greaterversatility as well as make attachment free and partner based band training more userfriendly.

Training handles

Why are the training handles not permanently attached to the bands?

The answer is simple It takes literally seconds to attach them, and if they were

permanently attached, it would eliminate 90% of all attachment free exercises andlocomotion drills due to the handles potentially hitting the user.

Training handles are designed to be used with these band widths:

Orange .5 inch,Red .5 inchBlack .75 inchPurple 1.125 inch

Using them with wider bands will, over time, compromise the karabiner clip or cause

possible damage to the band.

RBT Training handles are designed to allow the user to neverhave to let go of the handle during exercise transitions.

This is important considering the tension that is being appliedby the band during a training session and the potential for ahandle to slip out of an individuals hand if having to transferhandles from hand to hand.

Special Note: Make sure you review the accessory section on video 2 for handlerecommendations and how to attach the handles safely onto a band.

Band Utility Straps (BUS)

The BUS is a way to safely attach bands ontoanything that could potentially cut or damage theband. This can include:

Door Jambs Trees Soccer goals Goal Posts Play Ground Equipment Picnic Tables Fence Posts Park Benches

The BUS is a 1 inch nylon strap that can handle up to 500lbs of resistance. It has 2plastic tubes permanently attached onto it. One is a 10 inch long piece designed for theband to be attached to. The other one is a 2 inch long piece designed to lock into adoor jamb or lock onto the strap itself when looped around a stable structure like a post.

Below are pictures that will assist you in understanding how to utilize the BUS. The keyto successfully using the BUS is to make sure the band stays on the 10 inch plastic tubeduring training and does not slide onto the nylon strap where it can be damaged.
