What long 208cm loops are good for
A 208cm loop is long enough to stand on and press overhead, wrap round a pull-up bar, or anchor round a post at waist height. That is the main difference from short mini bands, which only fit round the legs.
- Assisted pull-ups: loop a band over a bar, put a foot or knee in it, and the band takes some of your body weight at the bottom. Heavier bands give more help.
- Banded squats and deadlifts: stand on the band and hold it at the shoulders or hips. The band gets harder as you stand up.
- Presses and rows: anchor the band round something solid and press away from it or row towards it.
- Stretching: a light band round a foot gives a gentle hamstring or shoulder stretch.
- Travel: five bands fit in a drawer or a suitcase side pocket.
How to pick the right band for each exercise
There are no fixed kilogram ratings to rely on, because band tension changes with how far you stretch it. Use reps as the guide instead: pick the band that lets you do 12 controlled reps, and move up a colour when 15 feels easy.
| Exercise | Usual starting band | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Lateral raise, face pull | Lightest | Small shoulder muscles tire quickly |
| Biceps curl, triceps extension | Light | Stand on the band, keep elbows still |
| Overhead press | Light to middle | Stand on the band, press straight up |
| Seated or anchored row | Middle | Pull elbows past the ribs |
| Squat, Romanian deadlift | Middle to heavy | Legs and hips handle the most tension |
| Assisted pull-up | Heaviest first | Step down a band as you get stronger |
Two bands can be used together when one heavy band is no longer enough for squats or deadlifts.
A three-day band program
Do these on three non-consecutive days, for 3 sets of 10 to 15 reps each, resting about 60 seconds between sets.
Day 1, lower body
- Banded squat
- Banded Romanian deadlift
- Split squat standing on the band
- Glute bridge with the band across the hips, held down by your hands
Day 2, upper body
- Anchored row
- Overhead press
- Banded push-up, band across the upper back
- Biceps curl
- Face pull
Day 3, pull-up and full body
- Assisted pull-up, 3 sets of 5 to 8
- Banded squat
- Anchored chest press
- Lateral raise
More exercises and progressions are in the resistance band workout guide.
Who it suits, and who should pick something else
Good fit
- Anyone working towards a first unassisted pull-up.
- Apartment and spare-room training where weights would be noisy or take up floor space.
- People who travel for work and want a full body session in a hotel room.
- Lifters who want band tension added to squats and presses.
Pick something else if
- You have a latex allergy. Choose the Fabric Loop Bands (3-Pack) at $30. The leg band set is latex too.
- You mainly train glutes and legs. The Leg Resistance Band Set (13 Piece) at $52 clips short bands to padded ankle straps for kickbacks and side leg raises.
- You want steady, measurable load. Dumbbells give the same weight through the whole lift. The 5kg pair is $48 and the 10kg pair is $114. Bands vs dumbbells compares the two.

Looking after latex bands
- Check each band for nicks or thin spots before you use it, and replace any that are damaged.
- Anchor only round smooth, solid objects. Rough edges cut latex.
- Store them out of direct sun and away from heat, which make latex brittle.
- Wipe them with a damp cloth and let them dry before packing them away.
Orders usually dispatch within 1 to 3 business days, and metro delivery usually takes 2 to 7 business days after dispatch. Regional and remote areas take longer. See the shipping page.
