What are weight training bands for?
Versatile and practical, this weight training band replaces your heavy equipment like kettlebells and dumbbells! It generates resistance without overloading your joints - perfect for weight training and cross training. You reproduce your usual movements while varying the feel of your workout. A bonus? Its compact design: slip it into your bag and improve wherever you go.
What does the 50 kg resistance level refer to?
A 50 kg weight training band requires 50 kg of force to double its original length (200% stretch). This high resistance boosts your workouts and deeply engages your muscles. The more you extend the band, the greater the intensity! Perfect for pushing to the next level and continuing to challenge yourself. You have total control over your progress and you can push your workouts to a higher level.
What muscle groups are engaged by the 50 kg band?
This high resistance transforms your training! Biceps, shoulders, back, legs: work each muscle group with intensity. Curls, raises, pulls, squats... increase the difficulty of all your exercises. Perfect for your advanced strength training and demanding cross training. You can develop your strength in a gradual, consistent way.
What to check before each workout
You need two checks for a worry-free workout! First, ensure that your anchor point is perfectly stable. This check is particularly important for pull-ups. Next, carefully inspect your weight training band: are there visible nicks or white marks? Stop, since the band risks breaking.

Precautions to take to extend the performance of your weight training band
Maximise its life span with these practical tips:
- Get out of the pool: we haven't tested its chlorine resistance
- Store it in a stable place, out of direct sunlight and away from significant temperature changes.
- Avoid contact with abrasive or sharp surfaces.
