"I really enjoy this band. Very versatile. You can pretty much use it anywhere for most exercises. I would say if you are thinking about getting them you should just get the whole set because you can find an exercise for any band color or work up to them" -Customers Jeff & Pam

Choosing the Right Resistance Band: 32'', 37'' or 41''
Discover the benefits of choosing the right size resistance band for your workouts. From building strength, improving flexibility, or enhancing your overall fitness, the size of your band can make a significant difference. Let's take a look at the 32", 37" & 41" bands to determine your right fit.
When should a person use 32" Resistance Bands?
Isolation Exercises
Perfect for exercises that target specific muscle groupswith a shorter range of motion, such as bicep curls, tricep extensions, lateral raises, and push-ups.
Compact Movements
Exercises that involve shorter, more controlled movements, such as chest presses, hip abductions or adductions, can benefit from a shorter band.
Shorter Individuals
If you are shorter than 5'10", the 32" bands can provide ideal tension sooner compared to longer bands. Avoiding slack in your bands keeps your muscles engaged for better results.
Model Height: 5'2"
We recommend individuals under 5'10" to utilize 32" for some specific exercises. However, incorporate 37" and/or 41" for exercises that require the band to be stretched further, such as squats and overhead movements.
We Do NOT Recommend Using 32" Bands For...
USERS OVER 5'10" (70")
If you are over 5'10" (70") tall you will be better suited using the 41" as the 32" Bands may be stretched beyond their recommended length.
OVERHEAD MOVEMENTS
Additionally, overhead movements are not recommended with the 32" resistance bands. We recommend using 41" pull-bands for overhead exercises.
PULL-UP TRAINING
32" bands are NOT designed to assist in pull-up training. Serious Steel 41" bands are the best option for assisted pull ups.
BARBELL TRAINING
The 32" bands are not intended for barbell training. If you are looking to add bands to your barbell training check out our 41" bands.
Why choose 37" Resistance Bands?
Achieve Your Ideal Range of Motion!
Our 37" bands are designed to maintain optimal tension throughout your entire range of motion, ensuring your muscles stay engaged for superior results and greater gains!
Pair With Resistance Band Board Systems
Are 32" bands too short for some exercises & 41" bands too long? 37" bands are the solution. Specifically designed to pair with Band Board Systems, 37" bands offer the ideal intermediate length.
Exercise Versatility
37" bands can be more versatile for certain exercises by providing enough length for a full range of motion while maintaining tension throughout the movement.
Protect your Bands with a Band Anchor.*
Durability for Intense Workouts
Built to endure your toughest training sessions as you go to failure with each movement, 37" Bands consist of 15 continuous layers of high-quality latex. 32, 37 & 41" Bands are all 4.5mm thick.
User Testing
Feedback from users during the development and testing phases indicated that 37" bands provide a better overall training experience.
37" Bands are just a little shorter than traditional 41" bands. This helps keep the band under tension throughout the entire range of motion. Avoiding slack in your bands keeps your muscles engaged for better results. 37" Bands are great for various exercises, such as deadlifts, squats & more.
When should a person use 41" bands?
Strength Training
When performing exercises that require more barbell resistance, such as squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, a 41" band can provide the necessary tension to make these movements challenging.
Pull-Up Training
Using 41" bands for assisted pull up training is ideal due to the extra length.
Greater Range of Motion:
Taller individuals over 5'10" may benefit from longer bands to ensure they can achieve a full range of motion in their exercises without the band becoming overly tight too quickly.
Full Body Movements
Exercises that involve a full range of motion or require the band to stretch significantly, such as overhead squats, pull-ups, or lat pull-downs, may be better suited for a 41" band.
Rehabilitation Exercises
In some cases, rehabilitation exercises that need gentle, progressive resistance over a larger range of motion might benefit from the flexibility of a 41" band.
Flexibility Training
For flexibility and mobility training, a longer band can provide the necessary slack to perform stretches and movements without undue tension.
We recommend 41" Bands for Barbell Training, Overhead Exercises and users over 5'10".
Note: Band configuration and user height will impact the range of motion for each exercise.
