Enhance your strength training, stretching, and mobility with REP’s Short Resistance Bands. They come in seven sizes of varying resistance, width, and colors. Bands start with XXX-Light (yellow) with a 0.25” width and 5-15lbs resistance, and they top out at X-Heavy (orange), which is 3.25” wide and creates 85-230lbs of resistance. The Short Resistance Bands are a shorter, 12” version of the standard 38” long REP Pull-Up Bands. The shorter length makes it easier to set them up and eliminates the need to double or triple up the band over pins or band pegs to get enough tension for banded lifts. These bands are crafted out of molded, durable latex.
Short Resistance Bands are sold in pairs, or you can order the full set (one pair of each) for maximum versatility. The resistance level is printed on the side of each band. The size variations are designed for different levels of strength and purposes, such as training for a pull-up or providing an extra challenge on compound lifts. To add resistance while weight training, attach the bands to a cable machine or power rack with band pegs and then loop the bands around your barbell. You can also use bands for accessory work, stretching, rehab, and warming up.

Short Resistance Bands are the 12" version of the standard Pull-Up Bands. They are mainly designed to be used with banded lifts and resistance training, so you don't have to double up the bands to create enough tension. They come in varying widths from 0.25" to 3.25", which correlate to different resistance levels (5lbs to 230lbs).
Short Loop Bands are shorter (9") and all 2" wide. These are designed to help you warm up, strengthen muscles, improve mobility and recovery, and do rehab work. They stretch up to 2.5 times in length and are best for shorter, targeted exercises (not banded barbell lifts).
Yes, they are sold in pairs but can also be purchased as a full set (one pair of each resistance).
