Hi

Can anyone recommended (if allowed / possible) post a link to any resistance bands that they use and can vouch for? Looking at the reviews on Amazon is a bit confusing, almost all have both 1 star and 5 star reviews, so it's difficult to know what to go for.

Got one from a physio recently and it was a bit of a revelation, I've always used weights and was dismissive of bands, but after trying them I had to eat a rather large piece of humble pie.

The one it really helps with is triceps when lying on a bench (I was given one for abducter muscle strain), but physio said it was OK to use it for other things if I wanted.

Physio initially gave me the blue band, but that snapped so replaced it with the black variant.

Any recommendation advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
OSF
