I'm looking for a decent set of resistance bands to use for mobility work and warms ups. Does anyone know of a good brand?
This. Mine are from elite fts but most quality distributors should be comparable. I've also used from Rogue.Check out elitefts. They have a lot of options to choose from.
I string them to the plate pegs (moving and stationary) of hammer machines, usually for chest and shoulders. It changes what you do into a more dynamic rep with the resistance increasing rapidly towards full contraction.Guys do you want to share some ideas what you like to do best with the resistance bands? I use mine to do band pull aparts. and tie one to my bed post and do rows as well because it helps my shoulders.

Which ones would you recommend for shoulder mobility work and warm-ups?EliteFTS bands (and lots of other products) on SALE now.

Depends which mobility work you're doing.Which ones would you recommend for shoulder mobility work and warm-ups?
Does Elite still sell the mountain dog pack?Depends which mobility work you're doing. For Super D's shoulder mobility, I use the Pro Monster Mini and Pro Mini (long skinny green and red) I also use the large Gray, or 'average' band, but that can be substituted by using two greens. His mobility video: https://youtu.be/txrvbXmqbcY For other mobility work I mainly use the red one or the Pro Micro (for pull-a-parts, over and backs, etc). It's the long skinny orange band. If I could only order the bare minimum based on what I use the most, I'd order 1x Pro Micro 2x Pro Mini 1x Pro Monster Mini I currently have the Mountain Dog pack though, and it's awesome but on the pricier side.

Yup. It's been updated as well.Does Elite still sell the mountain dog pack?
What's the difference between the Pro Mini and the Pro Monster Mini? I'm thinking about doing one of each plus one Mico.Depends which mobility work you're doing.

Other than the colors; the resistance. The green is a stronger band. If you don't use them for banded barbell work, then 1x each should be fine.What's the difference between the Pro Mini and the Pro Monster Mini? I'm thinking about doing one of each plus one Mico.
I must have missed that. Any experience with either of these? http://www.elitefts.com/shop/accessories/wraps/eliteftstm-second-generation-light-wrist-wrap.html or http://www.elitefts.com/shop/accessories/wraps/elitefts-normal-wrist-wrap.htmlOther than the colors; the resistance.

They're good. I liked all of EFS's wrist wraps.I must have missed that. Any experience with either of these? http://www.elitefts.com/shop/accessories/wraps/eliteftstm-second-generation-light-wrist-wrap.html or http://www.elitefts.com/shop/accessories/wraps/elitefts-normal-wrist-wrap.html
Try these, too!Just wanna report back; the 3 elitefts bands I got are great. I have incorporated them into my daily warm ups and mobility work, and the benefits are already showing.
I've already seen a couple of those, but I'll check out the others tomorrow. Thanks.
