Hey Guys. I am looking to purchase some bands for training and have very limited experience for them. Can anyone with first hand knowledge steer me in the right direction.


I am looking at 2 brands...Iron Woody and Jumpstretch.

Both seem to be good brands. My understanding is JumpStretch started making bands first that are quality. Iron Woody came after JS, but seems to be slightly cheaper, slightly stronger, and I heard they use less Dye which makes the band last longer. Any comments would be great!

Also, I am thinking of getting a Masters Package which has all the bands but the X-large. Would that be a good choice or do I need the 80-200lbs band. Seems like a lot on top of the bar weight.

I have done a set with the iron woody minis followed by a set of JS minis and couldn't tell the difference so I would go with the Iron Woody ones. Never heard of either of them really breaking or anything though. The Masters seems like a good pack, I have the minis and lights and don't really need anymore myself.
