    How far can mobility bands stretch? That was the burning question on our mind. We've tested how much barbells can hold before they bent, dropped dumbbells to find out if they can break and now it was time to answer the question "how far can you stretch resistance bands before they break." Turns out, a lot longer than we thought!

      That's a great idea, Atom. We were thinking the same thing when we were about midway through the test. That's sometimes the hard thing about doing weekly videos, the prep time is really short as we're trying to release one each week. Also loved the idea someone else had of setting a "BOB" training dummy on the other end, to see how devastating the snap would've been. Not so much scientific on that one though, more just fun. ;-P -Hudson

I've seen other workout band companies out there and once I saw you guys were coming out with a mobility band program and bands I had to give it a look. By the pictures I thought the bands were the really loose flimsy bands that you would see in a rehab center, but no no! These are the big boys! These are the ones that I have at home and some that I have to help me stretch out the old legs on a daily basis! I'll definitely be looking to purchase these bands + the workout book in the near future! Thank you guys for all that you do! and remember Stay Buff!

    1. This channel is awesome and really helpful while always being entertaining.
    2. Your bands probably perform better than this test shows. I think an issue you ran into with the larger bands is an uneven distribution of force on the bands at the anchors. The small bands fit their anchors better but the larger ones look to create a pinch-point to increase the odds of structural failure.
    3. If there ever is a "revenge of the bands" video, maybe anchor the bands around a steel pipe with the chain running through it. Add a dynamometer as previously said too.
    Keep up the great content!
