Bench press may injure your back!!!
Two things:. First, using proper form and appropriate resistance for my strength, I was injured doing the bench press with the bench band. The marks on my back are not from the band snapping, they are from the force of the resistance while pressed transferred into my scapulae and spine. I didn't feel it during the exercise, but the next day I felt like I had been hit in my upper back with a bat. Then, I saw my back in the mirror.
Second, there are some liveable but disappointing quality control issues. The green paint had been chipped in multiple places and touched up with brushed on paint that didn't quite match. The logo sticker is off center. The screen printing on the band bags was poorly done.
