I got the green resistance level which I find right on the edge for me resistance wise if you’re training for power/speed. 40-50 reps all I can manage if you start with them taught. If you’re going for endurance (e.g. 10+ minutes) I’d definite go lighter. Maybe yellow. BTW, I’m 75 year old sprinter but still relatively strong.<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/207875?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 03 Apr 2020 02:54:52 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:58aec84c-51ac-4576-b859-c72238fe8489jimsauerI got this exact product from Swim 2000 several days ago.

I use Stretchcordz as well along with my TRX and a host of medicine balls etc. check swim outlet and Amazon they might have some available...I got the green and blue cords...I am 63 and they are perfect for me<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/207775?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 02 Apr 2020 15:54:51 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:a1970249-9004-4e1e-9db2-257c6e64ddbcFormer MemberI have used these in the past. a good workout if you stay at it for a while. Not sure of resistance level without knowing of any physical limits. Ok, great. I&#39;m looking for something to keep my shoulders in shape on the off chance that the open water events I signed up for this summer still happen (GCBS, NEK Swim Week, and Round the Sound).<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.usms.org/thread/207759?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 02 Apr 2020 10:53:15 GMT3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:aca888b4-cd8c-4119-a05d-e87e0aab2d80orca1946I have used these in the past. a good workout if you stay at it for a while.
