How to use a rubber band safely
To use your rubber band safely, always check that it's in good condition before starting your sets.
If it has a tear or a whitish area, it's best not to use it, as it could come loose during the session.
How do I choose the right elastic for my practice?
Each color of band is associated with a resistance:
Blue: 5kg // Green: 15kg // Yellow: 25kg // Orange: 35kg // Red: 45kg // Black: 60kg
Are you new to strength training? Use a rubber band with light resistance, 5kg for example, then gradually increase the resistance.
On the other hand, do you want to take the weight off? The more resistant the elastic, the more it will help you with pull-ups or bodyweight exercises.

Our tips for storing and using bodybuilding elastics
Our elastics are not designed for use in swimming pools: we do not test their resistance to chlorine.
They should also not be stored in places subject to wide temperature variations or in direct sunlight.
Finally, to keep them in good condition for a long time, they should not be used on sharp or abrasive surfaces.
