Here I have created a list of fantastic products that I personally recommend through experience using each of them. Many of these are used in my training program, Fundamentals of Training.
Perform Better
Mini Bands
Perform Better’s Mini-Bands are an excellent way to add resistance to small movements. These are great for activation and warm up exercises, as well as adding a challenge to compound lifts. They come in Light, Medium, Heavy and Xtra Heavy resistance to challenge everyone from beginners to the most experienced and strongest lifters.
- Mini-Band 4-Pack (Light, Medium, Heavy, Xtra Heavy)
- Yellow Mini-Band – Light
- Green Mini-Band – Medium
- Blue Mini-Band – Heavy
- Black Mini-Band – Extra Heavy
Superbands
Perform Better has superbands ranging from 1/4″ to 4″ in thickness. Like mini-bands, these can be utilized for many different aspects of training, from activation and warm ups to adding external resistance to your heavy barbell, dumbbell and kettlebell exercises. Here are some of my favorites:
- Orange 1/4″ Superband (5-15 lbs.)
- Black 1/2″ Superband (25 lbs.)
- Black 1″ Superband (50 lbs.)
- Blue 2″ Superband (75-100 lbs.)
