I'm having the usual corporate porn filter problems. The first person to show some love and post these in the thread gets 1000 karma.

Thanks

Where can I get some bands like that? I want to use them for bench and squat.

they also have the monster mini's. which are between the mini's and lights. the monster mini's are for bench work.

So which should I get?

So which should I get?

for bench, i would recommend starting out with the mini's. for squat, use the numbers that i posted. if you squat 450 and under get the lights. if you squat 450-700 get the averages.

also, keep in mind, those prices are for a single band. you have to order two of them.

Hey Illum check out my pics. I bought some car roof straps at Home Depot for $10.00 They work great, no need for plates under the rack and you can change the bands easy.
Easy set up:

that's a nice set up. if i had a home gym, I would do that and just leave them there.

Ya, I leave what ever bands I used last there. I havent used bands lately and I dont really use them for Squats so I usualy keep the mini's attached. I use the purples for deads but I just put them under my feet, a site to see!

Nelmsjer, thanks for the karma!!

you should just build a platform to attach your bands to. its simple. get a piece of plywood, 3'x4'. Nail a 6' 2x4 underneath along the 4' sides. this will leave you with 1' of 2x4 on both sides, and you can put your attach your bands to it. pretty simple and cheap alternative to buying the Jumpstretch platform. not only will you have a deadlift platform for using your bands, but you will also have a 2" platform that you can do regular dead off.
