Sale is for a SINGLE BAND. Choose 1 of 5 different resistance levels. Not sure which band is right for you? See the second image for our Band Selection Recommendation.You are looking to purchase this band now: #3 Purple - 40 to 80 Pounds 1.25 " *4.5mm - Stronger and more resistant than bands 1 and 2, these can be employed in exercises for calves and hamstrings or any other lower body exercise with tough and high force inputs. They are also perfect for assisted pull ups, strict or kipping.Here are the details of all the other bands we offer: #1 Red- 10 to 35 Pounds (1/2 " *4.5mm), #2 Black - 30 to 60 Pounds (3/4 " *4.5mm), #3 Purple- 40 to 80 Pounds (1.25 " *4.5mm), #4 Green - 50 to 125 Pounds (1.75 " *4.5mm), #5 Blue - 65 to 175 Pounds (2.5" *4.5mm)Many people buy more than one band and combine the bands for most efficient training. Combining bands gives you 3 levels of assistance - one with the thicker band, one with the thinner band, and one with both bands. This allows you to do sets where you start with the thicker band and then add the thinner band to squeeze out a few additional reps. As your strength gradually increases, you can switch from double bands to the thicker band and then the thinner band alone.Whether you are just starting out with pull ups or you are an athlete working on regaining or enhancing your strength, the WODFitters resistance band will help you take your pull up and chin up training to the next level.
This is mine with the starting sets and reps I shot for in the beginning.
Monday - Cardio
5k. I prefer treadmill work, because I can control and measure my own pace and improvements.
Tuesday - Core
HANGING LEG RAISE
2 sets of 15 reps, rest 30 seconds between sets
SIT-UP WITH PUNCH
3 sets of 20 reps, rest 30 seconds between sets
PLANK
3 sets of 90 seconds between sets
WEIGHTED SIT-UP
3 sets of 10 reps, rest 45 seconds between sets
WEIGHTED RUSSIAN TWIST
3 sets of 12 reps each side, rest 30 seconds between sets
I also do a couple of BJJ drills that build core strength that I can't adequately explain in a forum like this and don't have a reference for how to do them. If you feel like you need more core work and don't know any of the grappling drills, look at medicine ball work
Wednesday - Rest
Thursday - Strength
This is a simple strength building workout based off access to a barbell rack. You can replace with a bodyweight routine if you don't have one. Compound movements are important.

Equipment Needed
I've seen results with this routine with a good diet and two-three nights at the Krav Maga gym. I've lost 15 pounds, I can see my abs, all my muscles have tone and my longevity in a fight is significantly improved.
I prioritize cardio, then core, then strength, so I will throw in a second 5k on the weekend if I don't go to the gym or climb. Exhausted fighter is a dead fighter and all.
I use a resistance band that I half hitch on the pull up bar and I’ve been slowly reducing the resistance. They are pretty cheap on amazon. There is a 4 set and you can also buy them in their own.
