Strength Bands advice

[gareththomasnz]

I was keen to get some gear from lifeline USA but now I know the cost its put me off. $300 for the power pushup and two jumping kits just with basic bands.

No way and its $60 for shipping.

The prices for woody bands at getstrength and xLR8 are also pretty disgusting - hell this is rubber we are talking about here.

This led me to a search for a Chinese supplier which I found in 15 minutes.

41"x1/2"x4.5mm 5-35lb

41"x1-1/8"x4.5mm 25-80lb

41"x1-3/4"x4.5mm 50-120lb

41"x2-1/2"x4.5mm 60-150lb

41"x3-1/4"x4.5mm 70-175lb

41"x4"x4.5mm 80-200lb

Prices from $1 to $12 with no minimum order. So a set should be $50 compared to $300 from else where.

I cant wait to hear back from them.

I would like to know if there are anay knock offs of the lifelineUSA gear or any other cheap band suppliers.

cheers

Trademe ones are cheap shit

Iron Woody do the best bands

I got some 19" Kilo bands, they are perfect for bench and deads. Also half price worldwide shipping at the moment and their usual shipping rates are already really good.

yeah they are good too :nod: I like the IWs for the heavier resistance they offer in the green and black.

The ones I found look just like iron woody ones but are rock bottom cheap - still waiting to hear back from them in China

I dont care who says what, but some ot the stuff you can now get from china is as good as the real deal. Trust me i did the same thing and i couldnt be happier. No way im payin premium for brands anymore. I must admit there are a few dodgy chinese suppliers out there but if you look hard enough youll get good quality products.
