EliteFTS Pro Resistance Bands
Designed specifically for powerlifting, these bands offer the most aggressive tension curves available. They are thicker than standard 'fitness' bands and are designed to be stretched to 2x their length repeatedly.
Quality & Materials
High-density natural latex. Known for being slightly 'stiffer' than Rogue or Serious Steel, which is preferred for speed work.
Evidence & Testing
Used by the world's strongest powerlifters for decades. While formal clinical trials don't exist for bands, the 'field testing' in the strength community is unparalleled.
Brand Transparency
Standard industry transparency; clear resistance ratings but less focus on manufacturing methodology compared to Serious Steel.
Value Assessment
Fairly priced, though shipping costs from their specific site can be higher than Amazon-based competitors.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most 'general fitness' bands are too thin for effective accommodating resistance in movements like the squat or deadlift. EliteFTS bands are purpose-built for high-load strength training.
