Experienced with these types of bands
I bought 2 of the Blue Heavy 1.75 wide SPRI bands with a listed resistance of 50lbs, however, they seem to offer much more than 50lbs, more like 75lb-100lb. These seem harder to use than the 1.75 inch wide bands I have, probably because the older ones are more loose now from overuse. I have bands that are 1.75 inches wide, 2.25 inches wide, and even 3 inches wide. I use these for a variety of exercises for the past 5 years, so I have lots of experience with these types of bands. I stick with these thick flat types rather than the tubular ones because these can take a beating and last long while giving a great workout. I attach these to bands to anchors to my basement studs. Of all the ones I've bought, only one snapped, so they can handle it. I prefer SPRI bands because I still have the ones I bought 5 years ago when I started band workouts, and they still work well and have not snapped. I am surprised, these feel heavier than the 50lbs listed resistance on the box. Much more. But they are very well made and durable. I expect these to last me many years. Read more
