I may have already written a review of these but I'm going to get straight to the point here. It's a giant purple rubber band that does a bit of everything. I've found a way to work on my front squats since I've moved to calisthenics from weight lifting. Over head is... Hard. Standing at about five foot ten five foot eleven ( I haven't measured myself in a while, i'm 17, still growing ), I'm not going to risk it, plus i'd snap either a delt or the band trying to hold it up. I'm about 230lbs, between 19 and 23% body fat. I look 19 in the mornings and at bed 23-24. So i'm not quite a chubby guy, I've got a decent amount of mass. I CAN'T DO PULL UPS AT ALL! I should have gone with the green or blue band to help me. I have a Soozier Power Tower (I think that's what it's called) and I have two five or ten pound resistance bands from maybe 06' and the Purple WOD band. I can't quite get all the way up but it can almost get me there. My word of advice IF YOU CAN'T DO PULL UPS, over compensate a bit. If you think you need to shed 40 or 50 pounds of your body weight to do a pull up, move up one color or get both. PUSHUPS with this thing sweet jelly beans! It only took me two semesters and a 3 month summer vacation of laziness (video games and eating) to go from a 130lb bench to a 205 ( nothing spectacular but i'm playing with the big plates. With my body weight plus the purple band I feel like i'm benching between 180 and 205, maybe more. I've been training back a bit more since I got graded on lifts that didn't involve back strength... What is a weight lifter without a dominant back?.... One with issues *knock. on. freaking. wood.* I injured my back on baby weight deadlifts. If you have noticed your neck or a muscle around your shoulder/shoulder blade is sore, get one of these bands between the lightest and the purple (red and purple), use it to mobilize your shoulders by holding it with a wide grip and move it from your waist to as far back as possible without straining. Next, move your hands to the inside edges of the band, hold on to it and move your hands with palms facing down apart form each other. You can do a variation of this movement that works rear delts to target your inner trapezius, help tighten rhomboids and how you do that is essentially do what is described above but use your elbows as if you're doing a row. Keep your lats tight and with your arms out infront of you, drive your elbows back horizontally. The band should be on your chest in the finished motion. Don't let the band jerk your hands back but if you can't help it, it's okay. I don't have a doubt that this band would shrivel up and snap anytime soon. WOD Nation bands have my business.
