Billy Blanks' Billy Bands - black vs. red weighted

bzar · 07-08-20, 04:14 PM

Hi,

other than the red bands that are weighted and the design, are there are any differences in the "feel," resistance intensity, and/or performance as compared to the black bands? thanks.

I feel like the black bands were simply more comfortable to use.

Both my sets ended up breaking, but I agree with Jill that the black bands felt a little more comfortable.

The ones that came with PT 24/7 had weighted gloves and they felt very awkward to use, imo.

amazon has these knockoff Billy Bands (unweighted), and i'm considering getting them - anyone have any comment on these? it has good ratings:

regarding the original weighted ones from Billy, how heavy is each weight?

From memory, the weighted bands with the red detachable weights were 2lb.

I’m not sure about the other bands.
