Does anyone know how much weight the bands are equivalent to and what the maximum resistance for each side would be in LBS?

5, 12 and 20. One side is 37. But you can use all bands for one exercise which is 74. And you can combine them in various ways to make different weights. There is a chart with the machine

The resistance bands range from 15 lbs per handle(using 1 gray band) up to 65lbs(if you combine all 3 bands-red,black & gray)

Resistance bands and weights. I only have 5lb dumbbells available to me right now, so that's what I'm using until I get paid. Then I'm going to bump it up and buy a heavier set. She makes reference to using up to 20 lbs though, but only for certain exercises.

The weight ratings can be found using the link below: https://beachbody.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/260/kw/resistance%20bands/~/resistance-bands---weight My P90X3 kit came with orange (25 lbs), yellow (35 lbs) and blue (45 lbs) resistance bands.

Try 5 lbs. I'm a 200 lb. man and I use 10 lbs. I probably could use more for some of the routines, but this weight has proven effective. But I also agree with some of the other posts: (1) try the band(s), (2) try a range of weights.

my wife thinks it will work -- i'm not so sure but it costs very little to find out. The bands are very stretchy and strong -- so it has a chance at least.

There are lighter resistance, more flexible bands in the set which would be good. However, I am not sure that you would need or want the entire set and purchasing some individual bands may be more helpful. Also, the set I got had metal carabiner rings to which you attached and detached a handle depending on desired resistance. That might be problematic. It would likely be better to get a single or even a set that has fixed handles for ease of use/transition between resistances. Stay active!

I dont recall the weight limit. It is not not the band itself but I think was in the instructions which I did not keep. Thinking it is 225 or 250. I really do like the product. Used to use a chair and this is much better and has varying levels of assist you can use. Sorry no definitive answer

Some resistance , I would preferred 2 lbs each. I box with these. They are fine

Absolutely. Each band has a different resistance. I'm roughly 150 and I used a combination of the purple and black. I've managed to work on using just the black band. So you can mix and match depending on your strength and weight.

I would say the the resistance is medium to heavy. I love these the only thing I don't like is the middle space between the bells is a little snug if you use them under your arms (some of the exercises I do call for that position). I used them all summer and they held up very well.

Hey Martha...I use them everyday w multiple clients and they have kept up their tension thus far. I've purchased bands in the past and these so far have been the best I've worked with. Hope this helps

3 set Per side 3 diff amounts of resistance that be hook together to go even higher

It depends, the heavy one could work for you, I used to put 110 lbs resistance in the abductor machine and I feel great with this bands. But maybe you are looking for something more challenging, if it so go for the x-heavy and xx-heavy set :)

So far I have found that any resistance tube band will do, but they are easier to attach than they are to take off. Great workout!

Here are the weights that are added to the band. They are little brown bars that you insert in the wrist band.Wrist Weights Amazon 1 weight is 3.25 oz.2 weights is 6.5 oz. 1 weight w/ band is 5.152 weights with band is 8.45

NONE, of which I a'm aware.Having recieved the set(I love them), IF you prefer the "scientific" weights, that DO have tolerances such as +/-.003gr.-then I would suggest that "level" of item. These work fine. Additionally for the price-they are difficult to beat!~ Good Luck...
