Bloom Super Band 13mm wide

The Bloom super band is a long latex resistance loop, 208cm around and 13mm wide, made for strength training. Its most common job is assisting pull-ups, and it also adds resistance to squats and walking lunges and helps with stretching. It’s light enough to throw in a bag and use at the gym, at home or outdoors.

On long bands like this one, the width sets the resistance. At 13mm wide and 4.5mm thick this is one of the narrower bands, so it gives less assistance on a pull-up than a wider band would.

Specifications

How to use it

• Assisted pull-ups: loop the band over the bar, pull one end through the other so it cinches tight, then put a knee or foot in the bottom of the loop. The band takes some of your weight at the bottom of the pull.
• Squats: stand on the band with feet hip width apart and hook the top over your shoulders or hold it in your hands.
• Walking lunges: stand on the band with your front foot and hold the other end for extra resistance as you rise.
• Stretching: lie on your back with the band around one foot and use it to ease the straight leg towards you for a hamstring stretch.

The band suits keen amateurs and experienced athletes alike. As your pull-ups get stronger, you’ll need less help from the band, and you can move on to unassisted reps.

Care

Latex lasts longer when it is kept out of direct sun and away from heaters, so store your bands in a drawer or gym bag. After a sweaty session, wipe them with a damp cloth and let them dry before packing them away. Check for nicks or small tears before each use and replace a band that is damaged, because a worn band can snap under tension. These bands are natural latex, so skip them if you have a latex allergy.

For a shorter flat band, see the 120cm super strong resistance band, and for glute work try the Bloom set of 3 loop bands. Everything else is in our resistance bands and loops.
