Q1: what is the heaviest resistance band that you use?
Q2: which workouts do you use it with?
i use the Lifeline resistance band brand and the heaviest band i have is 60#.
when CLX first came out, i switched to bands half-way in the rotation because as i got stronger, i could use heavier weights, but without a rack, it hurt my back a little. i made sure i was squatting to pick up my weights. i also started storing my weights on a chair so that i could easily pick them up rather than bending all the way down. the heaviest resistance i had back then was 40#. bands avoided any bending to pick up something heavy.
fast forward to now, I pulled out my MetRx workouts and there's always a modifier using the bands, similar to P90x.
i'm also recovering from a shoulder injury and will be seeing my doctor next week about it.
