Hey, which resistance bands did you get?! Predictably amazon has lots of choices - shape (rubber band, tube), length, resistance, handles & connectors, etc - appreciate a link if you've got one, and recommendations (if other than the ones you you have). Thanks in advance!I got these cheapos for $30. They're actually quite legit.
I already own a large $100 bag of high quality 'regular' resistance bands which came with all sorts of handles, door loops, foot straps, etc. Honestly, I didn't end up using them much. There was just too much stuff, became weirdly inconvenient to always be swapping handles, swapping bands, etc.
None of that with this 4-pack of large rubber bands. You have to be a little more creative, and there are obviously no handles (gloves help) but they are every bit as good and you can even do more things with the loop. I don't even use a door attachment at work - I just lock my door and look the strap around the door handle to pec flyes (these work amazingly well!) and all sorts of pulls.
Funny thing is that they are marketed as pull-up assist bands, but I never do pull ups!
