What’s Included (Bands Only)
- (1) Pair of Westside Barbell Squat + Bench Pro Bands — Purple (Light)
Purple Band Tension (Westside Setup)
Numbers below are shown per band / per side. To calculate total tension at the top, add both sides together.
- Squat: 65 lbs per side (130 lbs total)
- Bench: 20 lbs per side from band pegs (40 lbs total)
Measure Your Exact Band Tension (Recommended)
Rack height, peg height, and lockout distance change tension. To measure your setup:
- Slide the end loops of the band over your band pegs (or secure anchors).
- Hook a luggage/fish scale into the middle loop (the loop that sits on the barbell sleeve).
- Raise the scale to your lockout height to read tension for your exact setup.
How to Set Up (30 seconds)
- Slide the middle loop over the barbell sleeve.
- Pull each end loop down to your band pegs (or secure anchors).
- Match both sides, then lift.
Simple Dynamic Effort Wave (Example)
Keep band tension consistent and wave bar weight over 3 weeks.
- Week 1: 50% bar weight + band tension
- Week 2: 55% bar weight + band tension
- Week 3: 60% bar weight + band tension
6-Month No-Nonsense Warranty
If the bands snap, we replace them, no runaround.
