The Gymstick Power Band is a tool to intensify 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 making stretching exercises more intense and increasing your flexibility and suppleness. The resistance band provides counterforce during stretching or performing a certain 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 the manufacturing method. All Gymstick resistance bands are made of multiple layers of latex, bonded with a strong epoxy. They can be safely 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 tensile force 7.5 kg
Light (red): 13 mm wide, maximum tensile force 15 kg
Medium (black): 22 mm wide, maximum tensile force 30 kg
Strong (purple): 33 mm wide, maximum tensile force 60 kg
Extra Strong (green): 44 mm wide, maximum tensile force 100 kg
