Im looking at purchasing some bands off Force USA Super Bands . i wanted to know which would be best if i was to use just for mobility. Opening hips, shoulders etc. Basically to do mobilitywod stuff. thanks
I find the thinnest Band (red) is best for shoulder mobility and pushing out the knees in prep for squatting, I like the thicker band (blue) for dislocations etc where you're practically freeing up your shoulder and chest muscles by virtually all your body weight. And I like the orange/green or purple bands for hip flexors etc, depending on if your a big strong dude or a small lady like me. The boys at PTC syd use green/purple for hip flexors.

Great idea! Mobwod has awesome advice. But as far as the Force USA bands go, they're way too expensive compared with other seller's prices. For example 1 single mini band from G+F is $20+PH. A PAIR of mini's from GymDirect is $20+PH.
I'd probably get the Starter pack for the best value.
41" - a blue or purple is good for band distraction mobilisations shown in the book. Yellow, orange or red don't offer enough tension - these are better for light strengthening or activation drills like band-pullaparts, monster walks, assisted pullups etc.
