Tips For Using Different Sized CrossFit Bands

Tailor the amount of resistance you need for each exercise

Measure your strength gains, mix up your AMRAPs, or do drop sets with different sized bands:

• 
  Start with a lighter exercise resistance band
• 
  Increase difficulty by subbing in a heavier exercise band
• 
  Combine both bands for maximum resistance

Find the right amount of elastic load for each exercise

Think of each CrossFit band as a different multi-tool in your workout toolkit

• 
  Use lighter resistance for warm ups and smaller muscle groups
• 
  Target larger muscle groups with a thicker resistance band
• 
  Engage your strongest muscle groups with the highest resistance

What our customers are saying

• "I'm a consultant and travel Mon-Thurs almost every week and it's often hard to find a CrossFit box near my hotel. These resistance bands, which I had used for assisted pullups, have been a huge help in keeping me active and give me some of the best hotel room workouts I've ever had, especially when time is limited"

  Doug Freeman

• "Rubberbanditz was first introduced to me on Instagram after a friend tagged me in one of their posts of someone using their squat bands. I've since started using the resistance bands for back squats, front squats, and overhead squats...and love them!"

  Tara McDaniels

• "I’ve been using resistance bands for years for physical therapy and mobility but never considered using them as stand-alone workout bands with no other equipment. Aside from being the best resistance bands, quality wise, I've been pumped to find new ways to use the loop bands both with and without weights."

  Tom Elkowitz

• "CrossFit has been an integral part of my workout routine for about 7 years. Unfortunately, I'm highly injury prone and have suffered some bad ones. When a buddy told me about how rubber banditz was using pull up bands instead of weight to do CrossFit exercises, without beating up your body as badly, I decided to give it a shot. I'll be the first to say that the workouts are different, but I like using the bands instead sometimes now, especially if/when I'm injured or just want to stay home"
