Stackable resistance tube set labeled 96 lbs (43.5 kg). Includes door anchor, foam handles, and ankle straps. Five tubes: 3 lbs (1.4 kg), 5 lbs (2.3 kg), 8 lbs (3.6 kg), 13 lbs (5.9 kg), 19 lbs (8.6 kg); they add up to 48 lbs, and Bodylastics doubles that to 96 lbs on the label to count both ends of each tube. Bodylastics rates its tubes at 200% elongation, so its numbers are not directly comparable with other brands. Internal safety cord that Bodylastics says limits whip-back if a tube snaps. Nominal resistance at the handle depends on anchor point and exercise angle — stated lbs not equivalent to dumbbell lbs.
5-tube stackable set (3–19 lbs; labeled 96 lbs, counting both ends of each tube) with internal safety cords. Includes door anchor, handles, and ankle straps.
The Bodylastics 96 lb tube set includes five stackable tubes (3, 5, 8, 13 and 19 lb) plus a door anchor, foam handles, and ankle straps. The tubes add up to 48 lb; Bodylastics labels the set 96 lb by counting both ends of each tube, and it rates its tubes at 200% elongation, which other brands do not necessarily use — so its numbers cannot be compared directly with other sets. The defining safety feature is the internal safety cord threaded through each tube, which Bodylastics says limits how far the band can whip back if the latex snaps under load; we found no independent test of it. The clip-and-handle system maps cleanly to dumbbell substitutes for full push-pull-legs programming.
