ONE PROBLEM SOLVED Applying a med band to your own elbow or shoulder sucks to do one-handed without the end slipping - even for those of us who Embrace the Suck. So we solved that problem. We sewed an Anchor Loop onto one end of our Med Bands so that: (1) If you&&';;re wrapping your own elbow or shoulder to compress it - it&&';;s way easier to do one-handed (2) You can use the same band to stretch with - attach the Anchor Loop to your badass rig or a tree and get to work. WHY - I got really bad elbow tendinitis from doing 100 pull-ups a few years ago. I went in cold and gutted it out - but pain, that old friend, became the great teacher. I followed my buddy Dr. Kelly Starrett&&';;s protocols on The Ready State (floss and stretch) and it helped a lot. But one-handed wraps on standard med bands kept making me feel really dumb so we added an Anchor Loop. I&&';;m still really dumb but at least we solved this problem! If you&&';;re doing functional fitness this year with the rest of us, use this hard. - Jason PS this one is long enough that if you want, you can cut it with your Hattori Hanzo sword and then you&';ll have two (one classic style med band to go with your Anchor Loop Med Band).
