The Thera-Band handles are incredibly strong. I just wanted to use my fitness training. Since one-hand metal handles are very expensive, I wanted first of all to try this here. So far I had with a Thera-Band already handle can pull loose 60kg, to have to say no wear and tear. I really did not expect. From 80kg but the plastic handle is then broken.
Instead of the rubber band I took a carabiner, which was then connected to the rope over a pulley system and homemade weights.
