Resistance bands for handspring/shouldmount training
Hi all!
I saw this video on PoleFreaks: https://www.facebook.com/PoleFreaks/videos/842896362481507/ where the pole dancer is using a resistance band to help train shoulder mounts! I know I’ve seen people using these for handsprings too, to give you a little oomfph. Does anyone know where I can get one of these? The video on facebook has a UK website that doesn’t deliver to the US, so I was wondering if any of you have seen this?
I found a site for bodybuilding http://www.power-systems.com/p-3336-strength-band.aspx but then that leads to the question of what level of resistance… and if it is long enough for me to use for pole. And grippy to the pole for that matter!
Any thoughts?

The band she is using is a ballet band. There are several different companies that offer them on Amazon. They have a multitude of uses as seen here but are meant to be used as a stretching aid. I ordered one to aid with resistance for my box split. I thought it added a little too much pressure on my back (previous injury) so I returned it. I have other stretching devices that will do the same thing for the other stretches so it wasn’t as useful to me. Ultimately, its an awesome flexibility tool and is very durable. They usually run about $20.
