HOW TO SET THEM UP
The training set-up for the JC Santana PRO band line is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT – your safety depends on it. Since our training bands are so strong, what you anchor them to and how you secured them must also be secure and stable. Click here to watch JC Resistance Band Set-up Recommendations. We have seen people do very foolish things with bands that parallel blasting your hand with a hammer when pounding a nail into wood or stabbing your mouth with a fork while eating. SO, common folks, let’s be responsible and use common sense when working out with any equipment, especially when securing bands and pulling them in your direction.

WHAT MAKES
JC BANDS DIFFERENT
JC Santana has been pioneering band training since the mid 1990s. His influence on band training has been so significant that many resistance training bands are generically called “JC Bands.” JC learned modern band technology from the best in the business, John Hinds (the grandfather of band training). The first JC Santana designs were the JC Sports Band (4-foot band), and the JC Traveler. Followed up designs included the triple band designs of the Predator and the Predators Jr. Since then, there have been many imitations of the JC Designs. To date, JC Santana is the leading author of band training methods and his pioneering work on band training, The Essence of Band and Pulley Training, remains the reference work for all band training performed today.
The most important feature a band has to take into consideration is SAFETY. JC Santana created a breaking mechanism that performs two important functions. The first function the breaking mechanism provides is SAFETY, that’s why we often refer to it as the SAFE STRETCH mechanism. This mechanism also connects the two end plugs by an internal cord. In the case a band breaks, the two elastic segments stay connected to the cord and do not snap on a body or property. This prevents bodily harm or property damage. The second function this breaking mechanism has is that it prevents the band from being stretched beyond its optimal safe zone (~4 times its length). Staying within the manufacturer’s suggested stretch range prevents abusive stretching and increases the life span of the band’s utility. The results? Safer and longer lasting bands.
