BodyMax Power Bands

Powerbands are an absolute essential in rugby training.

Not only are resistance bands great for warm ups, conditioning, rehab and prehab, they also make a great alternative for weights. Perfect for newbies and seasoned rugby players, these bands can be used with or without weights.

These clever bands will safely and effectively increase the intensity of isometric movements to build joint strength, as well as dynamic exercises. Try adding a light band to your explosive movements, such as bench press or squats, to add a little resistance during concentric movement. Simply loop a band around each end of your bar for added challenge and power progression. By intensifying the weight you also burn more calories, boost cardio stamina and increase muscular endurance.

Power Bands will further help to strengthen and tone a wide variety of muscles including the biceps, triceps, deltoids, pectorals, rhomboids, latissimus dorsi, quads, calves, hamstrings, glutes and abdominals. Almost any part of the body can be trained with a resistance band.
