How to choose the right resistance

Bands are colour-coded by resistance, from light to heavy. As a guide: choose light for warm-ups, activation and upper-body isolation; medium for glutes, general strength and everyday training; and heavy for lower-body compound lifts and assisted pull-ups. If you're between two, size down — you progress by moving up as you get stronger. Building a home setup? A light, a medium and a heavy band cover almost everything, which is why we bundle them into latex band sets and fabric band sets.

Train through the sticking point: bands on your big lifts

Every lift has a hard spot. Bottom of the squat. Just off the chest. Just off the floor on the deadlift.

A band fixes the maths. It's slack at the bottom and stretched at the top, so it adds load as you lock out. You get more work where you're strong, and you have to drive hard through the sticking point to finish.

How to set it up:

Banded squat: loop each end around the bar and under the rack feet or a heavy dumbbell.
Banded bench: loop around the bar and anchor under the bench frame.
Banded deadlift: stand on the band and loop each end over the bar.

Coach it like an A-grade S&C program:

Technique first. Own the lift with plates before you add a band.
Progressive overload. Change one thing at a time: band level, bar weight or reps.
Specificity. Rugby League forwards and Australian Rules Football players need strength through the full range, so train the lift the way your sport demands.

Choose a band that lets you finish every rep with good form.

Band colours aren't universal

Red at one brand isn't red at another. Colour tells you the level inside one range, not across the market.

Resistance ratings vary between brands, so check the kg range before you buy.

Every POWERBANDS® band lists its kg range in the product name. Match the range to the job, not the colour.

What to use when

Pick by the job. Each row lists a range of bands, not one answer. Choose one that lets you finish every rep with good form.

Job	Examples	Bands to look at	kg range
Light	Warm-ups, band walks, activation, shoulder work	30cm Micro Bands, 1M Yellow, 1M Red	1kg–12kg (micro set); 1kg–7kg and 3kg–15kg of resistance (1M)
Medium	Rows, presses, banded good mornings, assisted pull-ups	1M Black, 1M Purple, Pull Up Pack	10kg–30kg and 12kg–45kg of resistance; pack covers 1kg–30kg of assistance
Heavy	Banded squat, bench and deadlift	1M Green, 1M Blue, 1M Orange	18kg–50kg, 24kg–65kg and 30kg–80kg of resistance

Resistance bands — frequently asked questions

What are resistance bands used for?

Resistance bands add adjustable tension to almost any exercise — strength, glute and lower-body work, warm-ups, mobility and assisted pull-ups. One set can train your entire body at home or on the go.

What's the difference between fabric and latex resistance bands?

Fabric bands are woven and non-slip, so they sit flat and won't roll up during glute and lower-body work. Our latex power bands are made from multiple bonded layers of natural latex, so they stretch further with smooth, consistent tension and the durability for compound strength lifts and assisted pull-ups. Many people own both.

What resistance level should I start with?

For most people a medium band suits glutes and general strength, a light band suits warm-ups and upper-body work, and a heavy band suits lower-body compound lifts. If you're unsure, start lighter and progress to a heavier band as you get stronger — a light/medium/heavy set covers nearly everything.

Which resistance band should beginners choose?

A medium fabric band or a light-to-medium combo set suits most beginners — enough resistance for glutes and general strength, with room to progress. The band finder above will match you in two quick questions.

Are resistance bands as good as weights?

Bands and weights both let you train with progressive resistance. Bands are light and portable, and the tension increases as the band stretches. For heavy maximal lifting, a barbell is the usual tool.

How do you progress with resistance bands?

Bands let you train with progressive resistance. Progress by moving to a heavier band, shortening the band, slowing the tempo, or adding reps.

Are resistance bands good for glutes and pull-ups?

Yes, bands are used for both. For glutes, hip thrusts, glute bridges, band walks and kickbacks all work with a band, and adding load over time is what drives progress. Our fabric booty bands sit flat and stay put on your legs, and the Fabric Booty Band Set comes in Light (33cm), Medium (38cm) and Heavy (43cm). For pull-ups, assisted pull-up packs take weight off the bar so you can build toward unassisted reps.

How do I look after my bands so they last?

Keep them out of the sun and away from heat. Don't leave them in a hot car. Store them loose, never stretched over a hook or a rack. Check latex bands for nicks and tears before each session, and retire any band that's damaged. Fabric bands are machine washable.

Next step: Shop fabric bands →

Can resistance bands build muscle?

Yes. Muscle responds to hard work, and a band can supply it. Train close to the end of each set, then add load over time by moving up a band level or adding reps. Bands also stack with free weights on your big lifts.

Next step: Shop 1M Power Bands →

How do I anchor a band to a door?

Use a door anchor. Put the anchor's strap over the hinge side of the door, close and lock the door, then loop your band through. Pull away from the door so it closes against the frame, not open. Test it with a light tug before you load it. Our Door Jamb Anchor is made for 1M Power Bands.

Next step: Shop the Door Jamb Anchor →

Are resistance bands good for travel?

Yes. They roll up, weigh little and fit in a carry-on. A few bands and a door anchor turn a hotel room into a training space. Pack a light, a medium and a heavy level so you can match the band to each exercise.
