After I had ever bought myself a blue and black Theraband, I also decided to buy the Golden. In particular, for arm exercises, for which I mainly use the tapes that former quickly became weak me. So I had to use my dumbbell regularly. That's since the acquisition of the gold band, however no longer necessary. The band replaced easily weights in the range of estimated 5-15 kg, depending on how you use it. In addition, training with the band even more pleasant and less dangerous. The quality leaves nothing to be desired, the thickness of the tape, however, is extremely high, so I'm going to probably still set the silver band, as the golden for exercises with a large lever and / or large strain is partially too strong (eg deltoid exercise but with an outstretched arm), everyone must decide for themselves, of course. Try going to study even with the Thera bands above.
