what kind of band for bridge series?

Hi Charles,
This will also depend on your height. Better try it out or buy a couple.
I hope this helps.
Bear in mind the weaker you are at the 2 exercises the stronger band needed. The band helps curl you up into position so it should be strong enough to help assist. I have one of these but I just use 2 red resistance bands instead. I probably bought the wrong size. As Leo says it's a lot to do with height so make sure whatever you get is long enough.
I'm in the UK but these are the bands I use
I am 6 feet tall and using the 1/2 inch (red) resistance band such as this one: https://www.amazon.com/WODFitters-Stretch-Resistance-Assist-eGuide/dp/B00IQM3W9K It works quite well.
Thanks for everyone’s feedback. I’m ordering the blue level 4 because I think I need more resistance to help me curl for thoracic stretches. I hope the length is fine for me. I’m 5’7” tall and the band Dimensions are
7 x 9 x 5 in

Hey @Brett Schaus, did you order these and have a chance to try them out? If so, could you say if they are working well for you? I am interested to find out the cord length (as the dimensions specified are 25.4 x 21.6 x 12.7 cm??). Thanks!
Does anyone have a recent recommendation for bands to use with the thoracic stretch series?
The brands listed here are mostly no longer available.

After reading some more, I ended up ordering the SportBands on Amazon. I was confused about what constituted a bungee band, but these are advertised as bungees, are supposed to be high quality, and look like what is being used in the video. I'll report back with my results.
