More questions about resistance! I know, I know

[The Student]

Hey guys,

just had a quick question on the woody bands.

I'm looking to pick up a pair as well.. and I realized they have various blue ones available.


First of all, I'm assuming it's best to order the 41 inch ones.

But the main question is.. how much resistance is required I will most likely be doing the same exercises that southpawwolves mentioned)

On the website I see the following blue 41" woodys

#1 Mini Bands
Width: ½ inch
Resistance: 5 to 35 lbs.

Pair of #3 Small Bands
Width: 1 1/8 inches
Resistance: 25 to 80 lbs.

Pair of #6 X-Large Bands
Width: 3 1/4 inches
Resistance: 70 to 175 lbs.

... I was thinking of ordering the 1 1/8 inch 25-80lb resistance ones.

also just a note.. I just found these recommended on another website. For those that are in north america, these are much cheaper... and apparently, essentially the same things...

If you scroll down, a bit, you'll see "High strength rubber banding"

McMaster-Carr

now the question really becomes.. how the hell does one know which ones to order
