I found the following from one of asimmer's post when I did a search for resistance bands. I hope this helps you. I just bought three different size bands at Walmart the other day.

Credit below needs to be given to asimmer!!!:)
Also bands are great - bodylastics.com has an awesome kit with everything you need, bands, handles, cuffs, anchor, video and manual, fairly cheap. i use bands with my clients a lot because they are sooooo versatile!

The ones that I bought at Walmart came in a three pack. One is yellow, one is blue, and one is purple. There are no handles on the ones I bought. I'm not sure how wide the widest would be that they come in though.

Good luck! Sorry I wasn't of more help to you!! :)

thats closer, but the ones i have seen are thicker, and not as long, about 6 to 7 ft, about 1 to 2 in thick. and its in a big loop, so you can wrap around the bars

http://www.criticalbench.com/bungeebands.htm

There are other sites out there that sell for cheaper, but critical bench always has high quality stuff, so I prefer to buy from them.

Here's another site that I considered buying from.

http://www.strengthcats.com/BNS-squat-bench.htm

A little cheaper, but I liked the package critical bench offered.

Hope this helps.

they actually do stretch pretty far. Also you can attach them together. I use them on military press too and I just attached them to my rack higher.
