The Gymstick Power Band is a tool to increase the difficulty of existing exercises. For example, plyometric exercises and speed training, but also squats and bench presses. In addition, the Gymstick Power Band is very suitable for intensifying stretching exercises and increasing your flexibility and agility. The resistance band provides counterforce during stretching or performing a specific movement.
The Gymstick Power Band is a closed loop. It is much stronger than a normal resistance band. This is not only due to the loop but also because of the manufacturing method. All Gymstick resistance bands are made of multiple layers of latex, bonded with a strong epoxy. They can safely be stretched up to 250% of their original length. The Power Bands have a loop of 104 cm (and thus a total length of 208 cm). They are 4.5 mm thick.
The resistance of these bands is caused by the width. They are available in 5 different resistances:
Extra Light (light blue): 4.5 mm wide, maximum pulling force 7.5 kg
Light (red): 13 mm wide, maximum pulling force 15 kg
Medium (black): 22 mm wide, maximum pulling force 30 kg
Strong (purple): 33 mm wide, maximum pulling force 60 kg
Extra Strong (green): 44 mm wide, maximum pulling force 100 kg
