Koopadvies: Welke resistance band heb ik nodig?

We regularly get asked which resistance band is right for me. To help you choose the right resistance band, we've compiled an overview below of which power bands are suitable for each training goal. If you're still unsure and would like more advice, please feel free to contact us. here .

Strength training with resistance bands for the beginning athlete

You're a beginner and want to use the power bands for things like bicep curls, tricep extensions, rows, chest presses, lying pull-overs, squats, overhead presses, and crunches. Generally, the red (light) and black (medium) resistance bands are suitable for this.

Strength training with resistance bands for the advanced athlete

You're an advanced athlete and have already built up a relatively high level of strength and a solid foundation. You'll want to use the power bands for things like rows, chest presses, lying pull-overs, squats, overhead presses, weighted push-ups, and dips. Generally, the purple (strong) and green (extra strong) resistance bands are suitable for this. If you also want to perform very heavy squats, we also recommend the blue (extreme) resistance band.

Warm-up, stretching & mobility training

If you want to use the resistance band during warm-ups, stretching, or mobility training, we recommend the yellow (extra light) and/or red (light) resistance band.

Help with pull-ups & muscle-ups

Want to master a specific exercise, like a pull-up or muscle-up? We've put together three different packages specifically for this.
Pull-Up Pack
Muscle-Up Pack
One Arm Pull-Up Pack

This is an indication and a tool to help you choose the right resistance for your resistance band. Choosing a resistance band depends on your level, experience, goal, and personal preference.
