Heavy Resistance Bands For People Who Have Outgrown Light Ones

If your bands stopped challenging you months ago, the bands are the problem, not you. The three heaviest Bodylastics sets reach 400, 520 and 1,120 lbs, because every band clips onto the same handle and stacks. One set covers a light shoulder raise and a heavy squat. Free shipping, and 60 days to change your mind.

How One Set Goes From 3 Lbs To 1,120 Lbs

Most bands come in fixed strengths. Get stronger and you are buying new bands. Bodylastics bands stack: clip on one band for a warm-up, clip on five for a squat. Your set gets stronger as you do, instead of ending up in a drawer.

  1. Pick The Bands The Exercise Needs

    One light band for a shoulder raise. Several heavy bands for a squat, a row or a deadlift.

  2. Clip Them All To One Handle

    Every Bodylastics band uses the same clip, so any band stacks with any other. A patented O-ring holds each clip upright, so changing weight takes seconds.

  3. Step Back For Even More

    A band resists harder the further it stretches. One step back from the anchor makes the same bands heavier.

Built So A Heavy Band Does Not Snap Back At You

Before you pull hundreds of pounds of latex toward your face, ask one question: what happens if it breaks. Every Bodylastics band has a patented inner safety cord that stops it overstretching. Wirecutter tested 32 sets and picked Bodylastics as the best tube-and-handle bands.

Patented Inner Safety Cord

Overstretching is the number one reason resistance bands snap. A patented cord inside every Bodylastics band stops you from overstretching it. And if a band ever does snap, it does not come flying back at you. It shortens on the cord.

“We've tested 32 sets of bands and found that the Bodylastics Stackable Tube Resistance Bands are the best traditional tube-and-handle bands. They are reinforced with rope to help prevent the type of overstretching that can lead to potentially dangerous breakage.”

    Continuous-Dipped Latex Tube

    Every band is built by continuous dipping: the tube runs through liquid latex, dries, then runs through again, layer after layer. The result is a thick wall that is highly resistant to snapping.

  • A Bodylastics Pro Series handle with a textured black grip and blue end caps.

    Pro Series Handles

    Hard ABS with a textured grip and wider sides. You hold heavy tension securely, so your Chest, Back and Arms give out before your hands do.

  • A Bodylastics clip with a close-up of its patented O-ring, and the same clip on a band's strap with a close-up showing it held upright and in place.

    Patented O-Ring In Every Clip

    A patented O-ring holds every clip upright and ready to attach. No turning clips around between exercises. To add resistance, clip on another band.

Every Set Is Backed By Our Guarantee: Three Promises In Writing

  • 60 days: To Change Your Mind

    Return any Bodylastics set within 60 days of delivery for a full refund. No reason needed, no questions to answer.

  • 90 days: Fully Covered

    If anything snaps, breaks or fails in the first 90 days, Bodylastics replaces it free. Just email us a photo of the broken item.

  • At cost: Replacement Parts For As Long As You Own The Set

    Not a discount. Bodylastics sells replacement parts at what they cost to make, for as long as you own the set. Most companies sell replacements at retail.

How Long Do Bodylastics Resistance Bands Last?

With regular use, expect a Bodylastics resistance band set to last roughly two to three years before it wants replacing. Few brands tell you that; Bodylastics would rather you know. How long a set lasts depends on how it is used and stored: natural latex ages faster with heat, sunlight and changes in humidity. When a band does wear out, Bodylastics sells replacement parts at cost for as long as you own the set.

Questions Heavy Lifters Ask Before They Buy

How heavy do Bodylastics resistance bands go?

The 16 Band Pro Series Set has the most resistance of any Bodylastics set: up to 1,120 lbs. The 8 Band Warrior Set goes up to 520 lbs and the 7 Band Pro Series Set up to 400 lbs. You reach those figures by stacking, clipping several Bodylastics bands onto one handle.

Which heavy Bodylastics set should I buy?

Choose the Bodylastics 7 Band Pro Series Set if two people train together and 400 lbs is enough. Choose the 8 Band Warrior Set for up to 520 lbs and a small anywhere anchor for posts, fences and railings. Choose the 16 Band Pro Series Set for the most resistance, up to 1,120 lbs, and six handles for a whole household.

Can heavy resistance bands replace weights?

For most strength training at home, heavy Bodylastics resistance bands can replace weights: they load squats, rows, presses and deadlifts. Bands work differently from a dumbbell, because they resist harder the further they stretch, so each rep is lightest at the start and heaviest at the end. Lifters chasing a maximum one-rep lift still need barbells.

Do heavy resistance bands snap?

Any latex band can snap, most often from overstretching. Every Bodylastics band has a patented inner safety cord that stops it being overstretched, and if a Bodylastics band does snap, it shortens on the cord instead of flying back. Anything that snaps, breaks or fails in the first 90 days is replaced free.
