KDT Resistance Bands (provides a fantastic workout for your core muscles)

In the last decade, resistance bands have been made popular in the development of strength and flexibility by powerlifting coach extraordinaire Louie Simmons and his lifters at Westside Barbell. Many coaches, trainers and strength athletes throughout the world have followed suit and begun implementing bands into their training programs and seen the average lifter become a great lifter and the great lifter get even better. Train like the best do, and do not get left behind.

All bands are 1/8" thick and made out of 100% pure latex rubber, their durability, strength and memory is far superior to any existing fit-loop band in the industry. They are a little more expensive than others, but you'll have a higher-performance band that you won't have to replace every few workouts. In the long run, these bands will save you money.

Why KDT Resistance Bands work

Bands force the lifter to push hard and accelerate throughout a greater range of motion, therefore creating maximum tension in the muscle by accomodating the resistance. The bands prevent you from coasting to the finish. If you have read any of the old Russian weight training manuals you know maximum muscle tension is required to get stronger.

Resistance Band Uses

Their versatility is endless-here's some examples of what they can be used for:

• Strength and Power
• Speed and agility training
• Jumping
• Plyometrics
• Stretching
• Flexibility and Tractioning exercises
• Joint Mobility
• Prehabilitation
• Rehabilitation
  

General Usage Guidelines

The bands are offered in six different resistances- from 5 lbs. to 200 lbs. They vary in thickness and width, which determines their pound resistance. (The greater the stretching distance of the band while exercising, the greater the resistance load of the band.) All bands are 40 inches long, seamless latex rubber constructed in layers to prevent breakage. With the exception of the Assisted Pull-up Package, the bands are sold only in pairs.

Disclaimer

Always inspect your bands EACH TIME BEFORE USE for any tears, wear or damage. Fitness Bands (like any rubber band, large or small) will eventually wear out and/or break over time. Don't use a damaged band, don't over-stress them, and don't use them for something that they are not intended for (like launching water ballons, bungee jumping, towing vehicles,etc.) Wear eye protection. Use common sense. In purchasing bands, you agree to use them responsibly, and at your own risk. KDT Athletics.com assumes no responsibility for injuries caused by wear, breakage or misuse.

The bands are designed to be able to double in length when stretched under normal conditions.

Below are some very general guidelines for band usage. Trial and error may be necessary to find the band best suited to your particular fitness level and usage.

• ORANGE & LIGHT BLUE Bands are best for general conditioning, rehabilitation, stretching, jumping and speed training. Can be used to safely increase the intensity of a workout without adding additional weights to a bar or kettlebell.
• DARK BLUE & RED Bands provide further resistance to the bar or kettlebell. Also great for stretching and tractioning joints as demonstrated in the article above.
• GREEN & ORANGE Bands are used for obtaining maximum resistance with squats, deadlifts, military and bench presses. Also effective for full body stretching and tractioning exercises as well as training for Assisted Pull-ups (see below).
  

Assisted Pull-ups
There are simply too many personal variables to recommend just one band. As your pull-up strength increase, your need for band assistance decreases. So as a general rule of thumb, we suggest customers purchase our Assisted Pull-Up Package. From experience we have found it usually fits the present and future needs of most pull-up training.
